A little further information and opinion on the OU bombing...

[onyx]

FYI

[Andy from Beaverton]

"We found evidence of him compressing TATP, which is foolhardy, given its properties,"
So if it is so foolhardy, how can it be an accident?

[sheik yerbouty]

It might have been a case of "Premature Jihadulation"..

[sarasota]

Believe the accident refers to the fact that it accidently detonated outside the stadium--before he was able to get in to detonate it.

[The_Victor]

The fact that the bomb didn't go off when the bomber wanted it to, doesn't make the bombing accidental.

[newfreep]

That's funny!!!!

[sheik yerbouty]

Many thanks!

"Hinrichs' backpack, which contained wires, a battery and a circuit board."
A timer? It wasn't suicide, his father's just in denial. This kid was gonna do something!

[Travis McGee]

Just a total coincidence that he was a convert to Islam.

[Lexington Green]

Yeah... he ''accidentally'' made a bomb and carried it to a packed stadium. I hate it when that happens.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

It might have been a case of "Premature Jihadulation"..

LOL, good one.

Interesting to see what comes out of his computer - could be ones of those " Look how easy it is to do " wiseguys.

Kind of like that one who put some modeling clay on an airplane, then wanted the publicity because it "could have been" plastic explosive.

This guy might have just just took it a bit too far and won his Darwin award.

Hope the cops are looking for accomplices with videocams.

Yeah... he ''accidentally'' made a bomb and carried it to a packed stadium. I hate it when that happens.

Actually, they are saying that he intentionally made the bomb and tried to get into the stadium. The “accident” was that it went off when he was by himself, rather than surrounded by innocent people.

Graphic photos of Hinrichs' headless body still upright on the park bench next to a tattered backpack were shown to the council.

Notes indicated Hinrichs experimented with adding fragmentation to explosives as if "he were trying to make a damaging product," Mauldin said.

...and yet, he was only trying to commit suicide.

What was his roommate's name again?

(ring, ring)
"Bob?"
"Yes, Mr. President."
"You know, with all this press about the port deal, we really can't afford any breaking stories about domestic terrorism."
"Not to worry, Mr. President, I've got it covered."
"Thanks, I knew I could count on you and the FBI."

[fishtank]

Yes, let's not forget that little fact.

[Shelayne]

Yeah, he intended to commit suicide, but did not want to hurt anyone else. Helloooo? Ever hear of staying home and swallowing a handful of pills?

The refusal to see the facts for what they are is simply breathtaking.

He had a bomb in his backpack outside a crowded stadium! What part of that sounds like a despondent student who just wants to do HIMself in? Like my little boy would say,
"DUH."

bs ping for later

Thanks for posting. I was getting ready to post it and checked one last time to make sure it wasn't already out there. It sounds like the Norman authorities aren't going to let the "suicide" story stand. Maybe some of them are finally getting some courage to challenge the "official" story.

this was surely a failed terror attack - not sure if this guy was just some lone jihadi-wanna-be, or had an organization behind him. of course, that's what the investigation should be about, if there is even going to be one into that aspect of the event.
