Terrorism on college campuses?

Not only is there some debate as to whether there is more to the Oklahoma incident than a simple suicide, but explosives have also been found at Georgia Tech and UCLA. Does this look like a trend? These seem to be minor incidents for the most part, and I hope these are totally unrelated, isolated incidents, but I also hope that experts are investigating all of these thoroughly.

I believe so. This makes me uneasy, if for no other reason than colleges have very, very little idea what goes on near, but off, campus, and so with large numbers of young people constantly around, there could be vulnerability that could be exploited, both in terms of recruitment (less likely) but also in terms of victims (more likely). They're also places that respond the least favorably to police presence, so I just don't know.

I can't believe I never looked at your avatar closely before. That's Bednarik and Gifford, isn't it? Have you always had that, meaning, am I really that unobservant?

I had one of Chic Harley for about my first 4 months or so, but I've had that one for several (6-8?) months, I'd say.

And yes, it's the famous Bednarik/Gifford hit.

Maybe so, but if they're starting to use explosives, the ante has been upped, wouldn't you agree?

That ante was upped when the "peace and love" generation first walked on campus...our institutions of higher crimes and misdemeanors...err...I mean "learning", have welcomed anything radical for several generations. It's called "diversity" or "multi-culturalism"...oooops...gotta go...the PC thought crime division is outside my door...

There's plenty of terrorism on campuses(I haven't read a single post on here yet), like my car window getting busted up friday night. I made a drunk call to 911 to get an officer here for a poplice report, then left a drunk message at my dealer calling for a new window at 3am. Damned ghetto

Creepy drunk voice from the left that sounds sorta like a Kennedy: There is no danger. Bush has concocted this whole thing to make you back his blood war for oil. There are no terrorists. We are not in danger of ever being attacked on our soil again.
