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?

[The_Victor]

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

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

"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!

[Lexington Green]

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

[RS]

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.

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."

[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."

[Nancie Drew]

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.

[oceanview]

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.

[SIDENET]

Someone saw him fiddling with it (the backpack) shortly before the explosion occurred

Huh, huh...dumb-ass...

[montag813]

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

Are these available online?

[jimbo123]

Nothing about the Pakistani roommates...

[albee]

DUMMO potential terrorist alert!

[NeoCaveman]

What a ridiculous cover up.

[MarineBrat]

Stupid enough to blow himself up!
Stupid enough to convert to Islam!

Makes sense... sort of.

[jiggyboy]

When asked if he believed Hinrichs meant to enter the stadium with the explosives, Mauldin replied, "I don't believe he intended for an explosion to occur at that spot (on the park bench)."

I wonder if the cop was winking at the reporter when he said this.

[ntnychik]

And they expect us to believe this?

I'm waiting for the diary.
All the lone nuts have "diaries," doncha know.

[El Gato]

"I believe he accidentally blew himself up," Sgt. George Mauldin said. Mauldin said Hinrichs, 21, an engineering student, had two to three pounds of triacetone triperoxide, commonly known as TATP, in a backpack in his lap when it exploded Oct. 1.

When asked if he believed Hinrichs meant to enter the stadium with the explosives, Mauldin replied, "I don't believe he intended for an explosion to occur at that spot (on the park bench)."

Yeh, he probably intended it to go off inside the stadium. Either with it still on his person, or not. What about his "interesting" roomate. No way he didn't know about the explosives and weapons.

"Some of us will forever wonder what he (Hinrichs) was doing at that time, at that place," Police Chief Phil Cotten said.

If it wasn't a suicide, then he likely meant to set it off somewhere else. He certainly wasn't walking out to Red Rock Canyon at that time. (Night).

And anyone who believes the official story....just a reminder, I have a bridge to sell, just send the check to Pappy Smear c/o Free Republic
