I felt bad about the daycare kids who died in Oklahoma and I felt bad about the kids who burned to death in Waco and I felt bad about the innocent mother and the kid who died at Ruby Ridge too. Evidently, McViegh didn't think the liberal media and the leaders of our primarily left wing progressive government at the time had paid enough attention to lives of innocent people and decided to do something bigger to wake them up and bring them back down to earth so to speak. The dude was a cold blooded murderer who was caught, convicted by an American court and rightfully executed as a terrorist.
Nitpick. While OKC occurred during the early Clinton years, McVeigh was in part motivated by things that happened in the prior Bush 41 administration. Regardless, the second thoughts happened. The reverse of the at the time aggressive law enforcement practices was overdue. That doesn’t prevent me from agreeing with your feelings towards McViegh.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
