Did anyone listen to Kickin it today? At the end the guest tells an insane story about the tweet above. Starts with about 8:30 minutes left. Does anybody remember anything about this or heard about it before?

So weird for it to be covered up, especially post 911.
If I heard about this at the time I definitely forgot about it.

That's an incredible read.
I'd disagree with the FBI and say that "getting cocky with explosives" does make someone a terrorist. I'd argue the minute you carry a bomb to a huge crowd you become a terrorist in that moment regardless of past history or motivations.

When I was in school someone buried a bomb in the grass at Clyde Williams stadium. It exploded when they were preparing the field before the game.
I think to be a "terrorist", by definition you have to be using violence to enact political change.
If you want to blow people up because you have issues, you're just a murderer.
I remember in the early 90s, there got to be a thing with people blowing up 2-liter chemical bottle bombs in the areas near the dorms. Just for the noise. Over at Friley iirc.
Possibly the craziest part of it is that OU memorialized the bomber? Wtf? Even if it was just a suicide, he did it very near a high-population area. There's zero reason to memorialize him.

They make a loud noise when the bottle bursts. Beyond that I doubt anyone could do much damage with one. If so, we'd have heard about by now.
The spike in sales for the Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner and Reynolds Wrap that summer probably had their marketing teams scratching their heads.
I probably agree on the zero reason to memorialize him. I first heard of this incident 15 minute ago, so I don't know many details. Where did you see that he was memorialized?
I got in a ton of trouble once as a kid because there were bleach stains on one of my shirts from one we were too close to. If I were a criminal mastermind I'd have thrown away the shirt.

Never made a draino bomb but my roommates made a dry ice bomb when I was at ISU. We lived in apartments along Welch with a balcony facing Welch. They threw the dry ice bomb off the balcony and it landed next to the sidewalk running along Welch. Boom! Scared a couple of people but fortunately no one was really close to it. Really stupid and lucky we didn't get in deep ****.
I'm amazed by this. That occurred about 20 miles and 10 years after Timothy McVeigh and Oklahoma City, and someone thought it was acceptable to memorialize him?OU bomber's memorial stone causes shock

I would absolutely not be ok with that if I were a student there. This isn't some troubled kid that tragically took his life in his room. He had a ******* bomb.
