Did a suicide bombing occur near Oklahoma Memorial Stadium? It’s beginning to look like it:
Flopping Aces—Based on the reports from the MSM (and we know how reliable those can be) there seems to be much more to this then meets the eye. This sounds like any number of suicide bomber stories we hear about in Iraq where the bomb goes off too early. He is close to location that holds many people compacted together to maximize casualities but the device goes off early. I have a feeling this will turn out pretty big fellas. How many more devices were found around the area?
No way this guy was getting into the stadium with these devices so it appears he was waiting for the game to end and the crowds to exit. [. . .]
