Thank you for posting that. For some reason the curser blinking at the end thing made me think of dramatic effect.
I think you hit the nail on the head.

To be clear, there are exceptions. I was over-generalizing. There were natives who had good scholarships, and foreigners who paid, but for the most part foreigners paid very little, while natives paid full or close to full in-state tuition.

WHAT situatiion? War in Iraq? Islamic oppression? Bush as President? This guy's inability to get a date? His failing courses?

WHAT situation?

[BlessedByLiberty]

You are correct. The first statements were that no suicide note was found, now we have a suicide note on a computer.

If the computer was not locked down could the roommate or someone else have written the suicide note on an open keyboard?

To those who will reply to this post that FReepers who question the official line(s) are all conspiracy theorists, remember there were first hand accounts on that initial thread which indicated explosives being heard around a stadium.

Unless, of course, one believes that a typical American youth would commit suicide by sitting outside a stadium with explosives in a backpack and not with guns, knives, pills, bridge jumping or a car crash.

The elder Hinrichs, of Colorado Springs, said he could not recall the exact wording but said his son used profanity in the message and was obviously very angry.

"He wrote he was dissatisfied with the situation and was going to quit living," the father said.

"Very angry" and "dissatisfied" with what "situation?"

[Burf]

How dare they?!? Any evidence contrary to conspiracy is spin!

I for one do not trust the FBI of the ATF. Their record in matters such as Ruby Ridge, Waco and the OKC bombing is not exactly stellar.

One point to consider. Now there is no reason for the search warrant to remain sealed.

[MizSterious]

Yes, verified. Clerk interviewed on camera, everything.

Since most software doesn't have a blinking cursor, I'm at a loss about that one. Either they made it up, or he was using DOS--funny way to write a "suicide" note, eh?

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Who announced it - the MSM? I didn't see or hear a FBI news conference, did I miss it?

[MizSterious]

What situation indeed. It still bothers me about the blinking cursor, makes the whole thing sound like a big, fat lie.

empty liquor bottles, magazines

On a TV episode of "Insomniac with Dave Attell" Dave followed around a guy who's job is to clean up suicide messes. The clean up guy noted that at every suicide there are always liquor bottles and porn magazines.

*** The father said he could not recall the exact wording ...***

I'm afraid it would be burned forever in my brian.

The suicide note of Charles Bishop (Bishra) was suppressed for months after he flew a plane into a bank builing.

Remember the Tampa teen? He was supposedly made crazy by his pimple cream? He was supposedly a member of the Young Conservatives?

Then his note calls his act as terrorist act. He pledges his support ot Osama Bin Laden and he praises the 9-11 attacks.

That may not be so in this incident. Jury is still out. So are the facts.

There were naysayers in January 2002 denying the obvious.

No one has SAID this man was an Islamic terrorist. He certainly had a questionable fascination with explosives.

He treading the same geographical territory as Nick Berg and the 19th Hijacker (who crossed paths).

But let's all agree that he went out of his way to make a highly visible suicide (and made an attempt to buy something that would have done FAR more damage, as was done in OKC years ago).

[MizSterious]

All of our local news, television especially. I don't recall the FBI ever giving a news conference on this. However, we do know that the search warrant for Hinrich's apartment is still sealed.

[i_dont_chat]

Microsoft Word has a blinking cursor.

[manwiththehands]

That's what I'm saying, yes. Don't put it past anyone (even the FBI) not to forge such a "suicide note". It's worthless.

[MizSterious]

If I had to guess, if the note was actually there, it probably went something like, "someone has to kill the (bleeping) infidels, and I'm going to blow myself up and take a bunch of them with me." Or is that more than one line? ;)

[weegee]

It is a very cinematic description of the scene.

Even Roger Ebert has compiled it in his book of movis-ism. It is still seen today even when it is not the common method of text editing anymore.

Its "Google Goggles," and they come in many colors!

Classic, classic spin. I'm amazed they still use the outline. I think that is CYA Form 787. Just type in the name. The rest is pre-printed.
