So were 8400 people in the stadium or 84,000? I'm seeing both numbers reported in this thread.
Meanwhile, what information is available to President Boren that gives him such confidence that this was a suicide and nothing more?
I think some explanations publicly clarifying these statements and providing some justification for them is a reasonable thing to expect.
As it is, the way this is being handled in and by the press stinks to high heaven.
If they don't have anything to say, that's fine, but this business of making unsupported assertions about the crime scene is woefully unprofessional, and I hope those involved -- particularly President Boren, in whose integrity my confidence is rapidly diminishing -- will start giving the public a little credit, for crying out loud.
I ask Mr. Boren and those managing the news in this case to please not pee on our legs and tell us it's raining.
That's insulting, and we deserve better.
84,000.
