I find the simple "exploring" defense hard to believe...
Hey Y'all
Hold my beer and watch this...
Ping for a new article regarding the Boyce/Eldridge case of the "stoppered vial". (No mention of the OUBombing in this article).
= NO PRANK
Hold my beer and watch this...
(second voice)I betcha won't sniff that vial.
Bombs and now this? What the hell is going on at OU?
NSS - Bat Boy - Urban Caving BUMP!!!
This explanation reminds me of all the times my students would say, "I was only joking!" when they said something rude to me or another student, or in fact, got caught doing virtually anything they thought they would get into trouble for. I told them that jokes were supposed to be funny, and I was the arbiter of funny in my classroom. If I found it not funny, it was not a joke, and they were in TROUBLE!

Not really. I have seen bolt cutters used to explore old mines etc.
What's the last thing a redneck says before he dies?
Hey y'all, watch this.
Interesting.
The other thread that you posted about this states that the Greenbriar Collective group was indeed questioned by the FBI.
Twice.
That makes sense if it's old mines. There's always be the hope of coming away with something of value. I can't imagine that an old tunnel would provide the same incentive. The only reason to use an old tunnel the way I see it is to engage in illegal activity, like breaking into a building without being seen. Well, that could provide something of value also, but it just doesn't sound that innocent.
"Not really. I have seen bolt cutters used to explore old mines etc."
Their apparent destination was a storage room marked "biohazard," and they had a stoppered vial in their possession. This was no mere prank.
"The other thread that you posted about this states that the Greenbriar Collective group was indeed questioned by the FBI.
Twice."
It would seem that the questioning by the FBI had nothing to do with this case. And perhaps had more to do with the OUBombing and/or some other threat... The questionings happened on Sept. 21 and another on or about October 21st. The second questioning was reportedly in regards to a tip that someone had seen "Hinrichs" moving boxes out of the house at some time.
This article also fails to mention the connection between John Rushton and the "Ruckus Society". They paint them as a peaceful, charity group instead of giving the whole picture.
I agree mostly with you. However, I knew of some folks who used abandonded missile sites for D&D parties.
Honestly, I don't know the motivation and I certainly DO NOT like the idea of a vial being taken.
Christopher Thomas Boyce? I wonder if he's related to Christopher Boyce of "The Falcon and the Snowman", son of an FBI agent who betrayed the US back in the mid-70's? He also later escaped jail for about a year or so, and was caught in Washington State/Oregon I believe. He was paroled in 2003.
There's nothing funny in a room marked "Biohazard."
Could this be a case of "tunnel vision"?
