I'm assuming he got it from the source cited in this post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1495382/posts?page=173#173

Thank you, malakhi, for finding that post. That was where I had read about it. I probably shouldn't have repeated it since I do not know for a fact if that source is accurate. :)

Boren probably doesn't know. He's just assuming that because the guy killed himself. However, his fraternity brothers to a one all insisted just the opposite. I'd like to hear what the father says once he feels like he can talk about it.

I saw that too. We made sure to watch Ch. 9 after your post about the Homeland Security official interview. His fraternity brothers seemed to think he was not at all troubled.

That's speculation. What is known is a bomb exploded and a student is dead. A bus driver saw him sitting on a bench before something went BOOM. A female witness saw two middle-eastern running away toward the stadium immediately after the explosion.

Now it's getting real interesting.

"Unless this is is a hands-on kind of university President, how the heck does he KNOW that Hinrichs had "very, serious personal problems that led to this tragic death"."

Maybe the FBI and HLS alerted Boren and the OU Campus security about the Jihadist connection before this tragic action by Hinrichs.

Interesting thought, Grampa Dave. You could very well be right about that. I had read on FR that some felt it was unusual for bomb-sniffing dogs were used to sweep the area before the game started. If that is true, then perhaps the FBI and HLS did have information prior to the bombing. I'm hoping we will learn more as I do believe the public has the right to know if this was in fact a terrorist attempt.

My trophy wife and I were on vacation and didn't get back until Friday. The Fox News story banner kept saying that the Terrorist Threat level had been raised, and they never said why.

Then, PKM told us about the increase security at the game before the fans even got in.

I don't know how I missed that, but I did. I didn't know that the "threat level" had been raised but then again, even though we did have Fox News on most of the time over the weekend, I wasn't always in the room and we were mostly listening not viewing; so I would not have seen the banner.

This sure is a mystery to me.

It was a mystery to us, but we had been out of the linkage for over a week.

I would believe his frat president over the university president, the media, or the investigators.

Absolutely!

So why have we not seen any reports about the other Frat members that might be Muslims?

Have they disappeared....are they being interviewed by the FBI?

Another fact missing....was his room in a University Dorm or in a Frat house?

Where were the alleged Muslims residing?

Did they have access to his ( Joel Henry Hinrichs III) room?

Officials confirmed Sunday a cache of explosive material later was found inside Hinrichs’ residence at the university- owned Parkview Apartments, southeast of Lindsey Street and Stinson Avenue.

Answers ....my first question!

According to local reports, he had moved out of a reportedly nice frat house and into a rather dingy, run-down apartment earlier this year. PKM might know more about this.

Sounds to me (ok, I happily accept the tinfoil hat) as though some radical Islamics saw in this guy a good bombmaker and stooge, and put him up to this. Just my theory. Some reports (links in above posts) suggest they might have found Islamic literature (probably in English--no indication he spoke or wrote in other than English) in his apartment, but no confirmation in any of the news.

Let's face it, no young flyover country boy would choose this method of suicide without some help.

On that hugely large thread begun the day it happened, someone posted a good map of where everything is. There was a mosque not far from his apartment--but it should be noted, not far from a LOT of apartments.

Maybe we could build giant muslim bug zappers around the perimeter of public gatherings. *pop* *pop* *pop* *pop*
