Yep, that's the way I was thinking. Depending on when he did this, I'm surprised he didn't take out a lot of people between Davis and Lenoir on the way to the Pit.
Was the Pit preacher one of the victims? I can see how he might have been a target.
Is that the bomb threat?
I think you're right; and he had to WORK to get that car where he got it.
Is there a bomb threat? Hey, I'm only 15 miles away and I know nothing............but there is nothing on the news.
Probably found explosives or some other terrorist weapon in his apartment--Ricin? Anthrax?
"Depending on when he did this, I'm surprised he didn't take out a lot of people between Davis and Lenoir on the way to the Pit."
At noon on a Friday with perfect weather? Hundreds and hundreds are out. He must be a horrible driver. I could get at least ten or fifteen. At least run over some of the nappers. This pathetic Jihadist wasn't even any good. Thank god for that.
post 46, I think, unless I'm getting hopelessly confused.
Is this REALLY front page news? Come on people. TABLOID

Yup. It's front page news. Sorry, but you're outvoted.

The cartoon last week.
Let me know as you find out updates. I can't figure out how the vehicle got into the pit in the first place. That area is surrounded by buildings.
That's an Iranian name. Interestingly, Mohammed Reza is the name of the former Shah, and I think his son. If he has that name, it would imply that his parents supported the former regime and were not Islamists. Maybe the son turned radical.
I'm watching the local cable 24/7 news and nothing, but I'll check WRAL at 5.
I agree with you.
(02/10/06 -- CHAPEL HILL) - A political cartoon in a student newspaper is triggering protests on campus.
UNC-Chapel Hill's Muslim Students Association is demanding an apology after a cartoon of the prophet Mohammed appeared in the Daily Tar Heel newspaper. "It's very disrespectful, and I find it racist," said student Rafsan Khan, a Muslim. "I find it discrimination, too."
Similar cartoons have incited violent riots for the last week around the world. Muslims held protests around the world Friday, denouncing cartoons they say defame Mohammed. Muslims believe it is forbidden to portray any images of the prophet. Many news organizations will not show the cartoon.
The Muslim Students Association's response to the cartoon was published in today's Daily Tar Heel. It says the paper was insensitive for running the depiction of Mohammad, but newspaper editor Ryan Tuck says he had a reason for printing the cartoon. He issued a statement on his blog, explaining his decision to run the cartoon, but offered no apology.
"They asked for a public apology, and the statement is half of that," Tuck said. "We're not apologizing for printing the cartoon. I do personally to any caller, letter-writer, anybody that comes in.
"We're not attempting to offend a certain ethnicity, race, or religion. It just so happens in this case that one was offended, and we did know that going in."

Remarkable that no one was killed.
They are putting up "Counselors Available" signs over there.
This is going to be cartoon-related.
WRAL will probably have some UNC talking head grovelling an apology to the assailant for the First Amendment.
