I think recent evidence blows my theory to pieces. For now I'm just content to have a strong distrust for anything the university pres has to say. I don't by the "lone suicide" theory, and I don't think the kid had emotional problems like the pres was saying. I'm leaning toward Joel either being directly connected to Islam, or a dupe of Islam.
I think any sane American would not be connected to the Islams. He had some kind of problems. Maybe it was the way he was raised. You gotta blame somebody.
You know, he is a former US Senator and a former Governor of Oklahoma. He's a Democrat, so I instinctively distrust him. That said, I think he is rightly respected for all the good things he has done for OU in the past ten years. In this case, he seems trapped by the always harmful "see no evil" approach. It is simply better to say "we don't know" than to insist on something that can later be shown to be untrue. There's a difference between reassurance through strength, and reassurance through baseless assertion.
I hope it was a lone, sad person, but something just stinks about the whole thing right now.
well, either that ot he was a DUer who read the Daily Kos article wanting streets turned into "rivers of blood."
The local media is not buying what the Administration is peddling. You can tell that by some of the questions they along with the OU paper are starting to ask. When Channel 9 interviewed the President of the Triangle Fraternity, he blew Boren's depressed angle right out of the water.
