I've been following this thread since it was started, and posted a couple of lame attempts at humor to alleviate the tension. Believe me, I don't believe it was a suicide, regular or otherwise, for one instant. I had to restrain myself several times from replying to the few people who seemed intent on convincing everyone nothing unusual happened, such as hoboken109.
I'm really sorry laz... I restrained from "knee-jerking" on posts like hoboken's and I'm really sorry I did so to you, especially since I mis-read what you posted. I've since taken a short break, had a bite to eat, and sat outside for a bit. (o:
What was with those folks saying nothing unusual happened? I couldn't figure it out. Maybe from OU Administration trying to peddle the depressed story that is not being taken seriously.
Channel 5 -- expert at Terrorism Center said not an act of terrorism. OU not changing any procedures at games. Then says they might make a new announcement at a press conference on Wednesday. Talking to two kids who took videos of the scene.
Now reporting the roommate will not speak to them.
This is a whitewash story compared to earlier this evening. Showing pictures now of the kid's picture with the beard and his father is talking. He left no suicide note behind. His Dad is weird.
Speculation he is a terrorist? -- Father said a terrorist tries to scare other people but no one was around when Joel did this. Weird statements.
Hydrogen peroxide used to make the bomb according to FBI. Parents home was searched.
Channel 5 completely different then at 5:00 and the people reporting are in more of a monotone now. Unlike Channel 4 they didn't report the FBI was tight lipped.
