I’ve been to several frat parties (in the past) where anyone is welcome Including guys from other frats.
Same (but it was a looong time ago). Still, I have it on good authority that the frats at my old university are still as welcoming to outsiders as ever (it seemed to be the point of their parties, to me - very open to the rest of the campus). However, I know little about Greek Life at U of Idaho, which seems it might be different.
Also, many frats still have slightly older members who come to parties or even still living there. So I don't regard BK being 28 (and appearing younger in his actions) to be automatically excluded from wandering through a frat party (depends on the frat, I suppose).
The idea that these student parties maintain order and discipline throughout the night is something upon which I'd need to see more evidence.
I know this is going to get me some heat but...I don't quite understand the snarky stance that BK was an idiot. Sure, he got caught. But, if he is guilty, he also committed a crime that the majority of society wouldn't even contemplate, did evade capture for quite awhile, and, given his education background, if guilty of the crimes, is probably basking in the notoriety.
Not backing the guy; given what's shown, I certainly believe him to be the guy. But I don't quite understand the dismissive attitude considering his intelligence surrounding his alleged actions.
He was considered "brilliant" by one young professor who never met him, that's for sure. And the students in his WSU program say that he was highly intelligent, always joined in intellectual discussion, but apparently espoused his own ideas to a fairly extreme degree, not budging for anyone else's.
The dismissive action is the result of early press and commentary indicating that he was a "genius" or something. He's definitely above average in intelligence (about which I've posted several times and after reading all of his teenage TapATalk posts, I'm convinced he's definitely high normal intelligence, but probably not a genius).
At any rate, it's all the truly puzzling mistakes he made that are driving the mockery and comments here. He takes his own car to his planned murders and drives it around in front of multiple neighbor cameras for an hour before attacking. He turns off his phone AFTER he leaves his Pullman apartment, then turns it back on just 20 minutes after the murders (heading south from where the murders occurred, being caught on MORE cameras). Why did he even take his phone?? Why did he not leave it off the whole time? He goes back to the murder scene almost immediately!
These are mistakes that no criminal genius would make, they are the mistakes of an ordinary person who isn't as smart about crime as they've led people to believe in the classroom. Hence, people are attempting to knock him down a peg.
