"That bears repeating."

Bears repeating, lol.

The word is getting out only because of the blogosphere, talk radio, the Oklahoma City media and forums like Free Republic. Predictably, the MSM is virtually ignoring this story, despite the revelations about his Islamic ties, his attempts to buy fertilizer, the "takeover" of the investigation by the FBI's joint terrorism task force, and today's sealing of the search warrant.

BTW, does anyone know if that report--from a Colorado Springs TV (KKTV) station--is accurate. According to a previous post, KKTV reported that the bomber was wearing a remotedly controlled explosive device at the time of his death.

AP last filed a story on Hinrichs on Monday, in which they identified him. Today, they finally got around to filing a story about him trying to buy ammonium nitrate fertilizer - this is days after the Oklahoma TV station reported it. (NYT had a brief on it yesterday.) These MSM are really sleeping on the job.

These MSM are really sleeping on the job.

Did you catch this about the MSM?

[not_apathetic_anymore]

he was a mist on closely parked buses, with no other damage'

I heard this and also thought, wow, what detachment.

[JellyJam]

Man, that's too funny.

[indcons]

[indcons]

Thanks for the ping, del4hope.

[conservativepoet]

Thanks for the ping.

[indcons]

You're welcome.

Finally found a notice about the memorial for Hinrichs. I thought it was supposed to have been yesterday, but it's tomorrow. No obit, so I can't ascertain/confirm family member names; and no time for the memorial is shown, so I guess it's by invitation only. Probably for the best, even in CO Springs.

"What is it with these Colorado suburbs?"

Colorado Springs isn't a "suburb". It's its own urban area several hours away from Denver. This doesn't resemble the Columbine situation at all IMHO.

This father hadn't seen his son since last January and then only saw him for half an hour at that. It's not like they kept in touch constantly. Plus, the father originally said he was "apolitical" and didn't follow any political ideology and now he's saying he's a "conservative"?

This dad was disconnected from his son for quite some time before this. Either the father is suffering from a severe case of shock (most likely) or he wasn't too close to his kid to begin with. If I were him I'd offer "no comment".

Sorry but I just moved from Colorado after being there for the last 8 years. It's a nice state. I take slight offense at your statement... Nothing I won't get over though or hold against you. (o:

[rockrr]

I caught the original airing.

This guy totally pegged the creep-out meter. There was not an ounce of feeling or emotion in him. I've heard more passion and personal empathy expressed in a postmortem.

The matter of factness with which he regarded his son's desire to off himself suggests some sort of dissociative disorder (sociopathy).
Whatever the case, I hope he fares well against his demons...

I know that Colorado Springs is not a suburb of Denver, so poor choice of words on my part. Let me try again -- Hinrich was from a middle-class town in Colorado, a few hours south of Denver, and he reminded me a lot of what Eric Klebold might have been like had he actually gone to college and hooked up with some Islamic terrorists. Hinrich and Klebold had some physical similarities and the same dead eyes/dead soul look. They also seem to have in common the kind of father who is dispassionate and unconnected from his son (nothing that uncommon in these days and times). I wish the father would shut his mouth, too. I apologize for my stupid statement singling Colorado out -- Ward Churchill made me do it. ;o)
