NORMAN — The University of Oklahoma has put outside the student union a patio stone engraved with the name of the student suicide bomber.
"I was just kind of horrified,” said OU football fan Jenny Clemons, who spotted the stone after OU's Red-White game April 7. "I don't think he has any business being out here.”

ping to some of those I remember who were following this story.
Gee, maybe we should put a memorial to McVeigh in OK City and memorials to the 19 murderers of 9/11 in NY and Shanksville.
And don’t forget the lastest one a commoration for Cho.
“A Norman police bomb expert has said he believes the bomb went off accidentally and that the student had further plans.”
Yet it was glossed over in the national media.
Wonder when Cho’s memorial is coming.
Turds be upon this stone
“Other patio stones honor CBS anchor Katie Couric...”
AIIIEEE!!! They don’t know when to quit, do they???
this is just a psych experiment to see how long it will last... right???
I think we just found part of that other world they were talking about.
"I only used 170 rounds to kill 32 students"
Cho Seung-Hui
“A Norman police bomb expert has said he believes the bomb went off accidentally and that the student had further plans.”
And common sense says the same thing. If this guy had succeeded, it could have made the death toll at Columbine and more recently at Va Tech look small. But they’re putting memorials up to him on the OU campus.
No doubt Margaret Thatcher was humbled to be in the same league as Katie
Well, there's an explanation that hadn't occurred to me.
Somebody should dig up the stone or deface it in some manner.
Good grief. That’s utterly ridiculous. Next thing you know someone will want memorials to the terrorists at the 9-11 Memorial. And Timothy McVeigh at the Oklahoma Murrah Bldg. memorial.
That does seem kind of strange, but not as strange as a memorial to a suicide bomber, and quite possibly a wannabe mass murderer.
Isn't James Garner still alive as well? Or did I miss something.
Are things OK in OK?
Thanks, that was definitely Value Added! I knew I was forgetting the lead poster on this issue, but I just couldn’t pull up the poster name out of memory.
A lonely suicide bomber, who would have figured?
But who needs appeasing in this situation? His father? If so, why?
I am completely puzzled by this one.
Justa? Just Justa?
That makes me so lonely!!! ;-)
Painting with a bit of a broad brush there, my friend. I think it's safe to say that Oklahoma has, on the whole, one of the more conservative populations in the union, and that her citizens care a lot about what is happening to this country.
I'm not sure where you get the information that Oklahoma has a disproportionate Muslim population. It's possible that's true in Norman, but I would have to be convinced with some statistics about the state as a whole.
I never went to colege. Couldnt afford it for one thing, Grades werent that great for another,but I think maybe I am lucky. I also never came down with the brain disease so many colleges seem to be contaminating America’s yuoth with.
Whoa, ever consider decaf? ; ) No, seriously, OK was a great state with really nice, wholesome people when I left there 5 years ago. Please note the bomber was from Colorado.
Hammer, meet stone.
“Somebody should dig up the stone or deface it in some manner.”
While we shouldn’t encourage such actions, neither should we be upset were it to happen.
He was just picked on by mean ol' conservatives
Appeasers are in effect trying to kill us I would encourage smashing their garbage. They are allied with Global Terrorism’s war on America.
You asked — “Are things OK in OK?”
—
You find liberal, PC, multi-cultural, diversity ideas everywhere, these days, it seems...
The stone is being shipped as we speak.... Hoo-boy!
Does David Boren have rocks for brains or what?
Blow it up.:)
WHAT THE &%#@?!
The Land had rest 7 years, and then the Children of the Democrats again did evil in the sight of The Lord....
I would like to ask OU’s president three questions. First, do Bud Wilkinson and Billy Vessels have memorial stones at the university, or is that honor reserved primarily for those who die with explosives strapped to their bodies? Second, if Tim McVeigh and his other victims had died on university property, would McVeigh get a memorial stone too? Finally, if Joel Henry Henrichs deserves a memorial stone, at the expense of the university and Oklahoma’s taxpayers, would OU’s president consider legally changing his name from David Boren to David Moron? Because this man only killed himself, terrorism can’t be proven as a motive. But it is a very realistic guess. I really don’t want my kids to go to college if sympathy for the devil is the primary thing universities believe in.
Agreed. But you know the lawyers are reading, so “loose lips sink ships”.
OK who’s gonna be the first one to get arrested for urinating on it.
I am speechless.

Barry Obsama has to be the biggest phony ever. If he had worn a loud Hawaiian shirt and a lei, I would have more respect for him. He also reminds me of cotton candy, a big sticky nothing with a paper cone for a center. Just spun up from sugar and hot air!
