This guy may have been mentally unstable, morally autistic, and an anti-catholic, but there is plenty in here that resonates for a lot of Americans.

The point is not to applaud him, but to understand him. He’s not the first:

"The point is not to applaud him, but to understand him."

Tell me how I'm supposed to "understand" someone who tries to take innocent lives? Even though no one was killed besides him, the truth is that someone could have been. Someone might not be welcoming home their mom or dad tonight. Seeing their sister or brother, son or daughter again. Tell me how we're supposed to not applaud him, but "understand" that line of thinking?

Understand him? You got to be freaken kidding. Timothy Mcveigh had issues with an overbearing government as well which is why he chose the target he did. You want us to understand him too?
