Did you hear anything about this today on campus?

Suspicious Device Harmless

NORMAN, Okla. -- Police were called to the University of Oklahoma campus Monday after students reported seeing a suspicious device.

Authorities taped off the area, but discovered the device was harmless.

(Yes, that's the WHOLE article! LOL)

They must think some other depressed loners may be planning to commit suicide with explosives in the vicinity.

Are they worried about terrorist or the Baylor Football team?

Trying to psyche out the Bears, eh?!

[origlonewolf]

Since Hinrichs roommate, Cheema was working deep in the locker rooms, knowing Boren, he probably relocated him to Head Ticket taker.

Seriously, if anyone attends a game, would be very interested to know if each gate, each person entering now has a video camera focused on them. And ones facing peoples backs don't count.

I'm researching newspapers regarding Boren's past.

[hummingbird]

PhiKapMom has posted some background on Boren of a personal nature that was going around the campus that I can't seem to find (at this time of night with a sore tooth!). Maybe she could point you in a few directions on that and other matters re: Boren.

[LibertyRocks]

I've got some links at my summary regarding Boren and Tenet. They are pretty serious allegations regarding lifestyle and personal character issues. Here is what I posted to the summary at my blog regarding David L. Boren, President of OU...

OU President David L. Boren:
His past: Boren was Governor of Oklahoma from 1975 to 1979. He is also a former U.S. Senator from Oklahoma who was in office from 1979 to 1994. He is a 1963 graduate of Yale University and a Rhodes Scholar. (He has also been identified as a member of the infamous "Skull and Bones" group.)

Some serious allegations regarding his character and reasons he may be "compromised" have been presented in the past and may continue to play a role in the treatment of this case at and by officials at the University of Oklahoma.

I present to my readers the following links along with this disclaimer: None of the following can be proven beyond shadow of a doubt. However, both students at OU and people with political ties locally have confirmed the truth of the statements given at the following webpage on numerous occasions. Don your tin-foil hat if you have one, but could this be one of the reasons Boren wants to end the investigation into this case and has from the beginning tried to keep it under wraps?

Thanks, LibertyRocks!

[Peach]

You be careful out there, PhiKapMom!

[milford421]

Thanks for the ping. I agree with the sentiments of OK Sooner, others...

Lone suicide and extra security precautions don't add up. Has anyone sent this new security info to Michelle Malkin?

Liberty Rocks,

Again, the padlocking thing. At the height of this suicide bombing incident, I was trying to find information about who actually padlocked the exits. Have you or has anyone else discovered anything regarding this? It was inherently stupid if it was one of the authorities, but if they were locked before, the motive would appear much more insidious.

Can anyone post if there is info?

[OKSooner]

This might be redundant, but here's a link that will tell you what most everyone around here first heard about back when Boren was running for the US Senate:

Unfortunately, the circumstances and the guy who made it public were sleazy as hell and everyone just blew it off. Since then, it's been old news.

("And besides, look at all he's done for the University.")

Where's the Coverage?

[OKSooner]

To clarify one point: Everyone who lived in Oklahoma back in the late '70s heard about this when it happened. Since then, there's been not a whisper of it in any of the local media.

[LibertyRocks]

IIRC PhiKapMom saw a video segment in the news that pictured the locks on the gates themselves. She stated she was livid when she saw them. It is a well-known fact that the people in the stadium were made to stay inside. The padlocking of the gates was only shown on the video report PhiKapMom saw as far as I can tell. Perhaps she can remember which station it was she was watching. (o:

You're welcome. (o:

Thanks for the link maggie. (o:

In regards to that entry at Powerline; I wonder if anyone has tried to speak again with Adam Smith - the student who related the story about the ticket-taker?

[hispanarepublicana]

Wow. I missed this ping last night. I'm surprised Boren's pants haven't turned to ashes by now.

[OKSooner]

Oh, this is a hoot. Check out this featurette from KOTV:

The University will give an evacuation plan to fans heading through the gates.

Why bother? It was the work of a "lone, screwed up kid" who has already dispatched himself..

[kjam22]

They had to bypass "elevated stagus orange alert" and go straight to "red alert" for the obvious reasons...... :)
