Reddit reviews American Terrorist: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing

Joking aside, Lon Horiuchi really has stepped out of public view on purpose. After the incidents in Ruby Ridge and Waco, Timothy McVeigh took an interest and spread quite a bit of information, such as his home address, as incitement toward his murder. He even sent letters directly to Lon, saying "what goes around, comes around" and similar. You can read about all McVeigh's actions, including those letters, in "American Terrorist", by Lou Michel if you so desire.

Horiuchi's gone dark to stay alive, is my guess. I don't blame him for that, although I don't agree with his former actions as part of the FBI HRT. Still, I can understand wanting to preserve his own life, almost all of us would do the same even if it meant being a recluse.

No. McVeigh's ideas had nothing to do with racism. He was unhappy with perceived government injustices, like Waco and Ruby Ridge.

He did spend some time with groups that held racist ideals, and even distributed literature that contained racist ideas while he was in the army, but has stated he was only interested in it for content relating to survivalism and anti establishment. He's specifically stated that he was not racist.

Honestly, the research out there is pretty vast, and you would be best served by simply running a Google search for "Timothy McVeigh", "Terry Nichols", "Oklahoma City Bombing Report", and "Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building". A caveat: much of the webpages out there deal heavily in conspiracy theories, so exercise your due diligence when sifting through the links.

I can suggest a couple of books however: American Terrorist: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing,
https://www.amazon.com/American-Terrorist-Timothy-McVeigh-Oklahoma/dp/0060394072

and Others Unknown: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing
https://www.amazon.com/Timothy-Mcveigh-Oklahoma-Bombing-Conspiracy-ebook/dp/B0030T2MB8

These represent two competing views of the events leading up to the bombing.

As it pertains to this particular post, again, Google "Timothy McVeigh" and "Invictus". Many megabytes of text have been uploaded to discuss the meaning behind his selection of this poem as his last words.

I read American Terrorist several years ago. I have expressed no judgment about the event in my comments here. I merely pointed out that blowing up an NSA datacenter has some similarities to McVeigh's action.

LOL.... nooooo

Never....

This is told simply, just the facts, book written by a pair of journalists. In fact, McVeigh got mad at his defense attorneys (as mentioned late in the book) a few times because they were trying to do the very thing you are wanting to avoid!

There's nothing suspect, they were just two highly intelligent, anti-US government "political prisoners". No grand conspiracy, especially given McVeigh being on the Federal execution fast track.

His biography doesn't mention extreme Christianity, IIRC.

1995 just called and wants you to reconsider that the violence will be in the future. Horrible stuff. I do not support.

The Republicans are, first and foremost, the party of NO WAGES. They have no other agenda except exclusion. No wages. No voting. No access.
