Did you hear the Channel 4 news report at 10? They haven't determined if it was an accident or suicide and she said it may take months before the body (what's left) is released and they have to DNA to determine if it was this kid.
Then they showed how we were padlocked in the stadium after this happened. These were huge padlocks. What if more bombs were in the stadium -- did the numbskulls that did that ever consider that possibility?
The bag check at Gate 7 that night was cursory at best.
No one I know that has seen his picture is buying the OU Administration storyline.
BTW, Channel 4 reported FBI is in charge and being tight lipped.
Then how did they know whose apartment to go to and search if they didn't know "who" it was? Did I miss something here?

If exit gates were padlocked that was a very serious Life Safety Code violation. Someone was not thinking.
no, but the cop I talked to was one of the first on-scene, and reported the lack of schrapnel, so they decided to keep people inside for fear of a stampede, he said. Even if there were four or five bombers inside, they'd take fewer casualties that way, in his opinion. Not sure I agree, but I wasn't there until nealy 48 hours later, after all.
PKMom, what has been the administration's reply as to why they padlocked the stadium?
Thank you all for keeping this story alive. Every time I tell one of my colleagues about what happened in Norman, OK last weekend, their mouth drops open, and I hear, “I can’t believe I haven’t heard about this. That’s huge.”
It is huge, and a major part of the story, now, is the near totality of the news blackout.
How can that happen, today, with our much-vaulted independent press? Some speculations.
A. The Ministry of Truth said, “Spike it”. There may have been some of this, but I doubt that anyone in this administration would be able to get CNN to spike a story, especially if they had the will to go with it the first place. However, the Ministry of Truth can shut down all sources of reliable information, and they certainly have done that.
B. The Ministry of Football said, “Spike it”. This may be the largest component. I can imagine people at OU calling various MSM Sports Directors, not News Directors, and saying, “Are you sure you want to kill the fall football season?” This probably accounts for most of the alphabet networks and perhaps FOX.
C. “Who cares about flyover country?” I can see NYT, WaPo, LATimes thinking, “Yeah, and we don’t report it when Fred Ziffle falls into a combine, either”.
D. Why so little coverage on talk radio? Two words: Micheal Graham. Everyone here knows, once the subject come up, what the first call will be about. The second call will be from CAIR, and it won’t be to the screener.
E. There’s no angle into “All the news that fits our agenda”. It simply doesn’t hurt the President. In fact, especially if Hinrichs turns out to be little Johnny Jihad, people would again rally around the flag and his numbers might go up. We can’t have that, can we?
Note to future jihadi-wannabees: Put on a “George Bush hates black people” t-shirt, drive to the stadium in an SUV, and charge in with an assault rifle. You’ll get more press.
