I was wondering if Andrew Kehoe and Chevy Kehoe were related.

I found this for those who dare to ask and watch all those FBI files and such nonsense???

Are Chevie Kehoe and Andrew Kehoe Related?

I wonder if Chevie Kehoe the white supremacist and Andrew Kehoe the mass murderer are related in some way.

There is no definitive proof that Chevie Kehoe and Andrew Kehoe are related, though the ancestors of both men arrived in America from Ireland at about the same time and also settled in Michigan. We can neither confirm nor deny a familial relationship between the two men at this point.

Chevie O’Brien Kehoe, born 19 Jan 1973 in Orange Park, Florida, is the son of Kirby Keith Kehoe and Gloria Collins. Kirby’s father was Doyle Robert Kehoe. Doyle’s father (probably) was Maurice Kehoe. Maurice’s father was John F. Kehoe. John’s parents were Patrick Kehoe (born c. 1826 in Ireland) and Ellen C. Stewart.

Andrew Philip Kehoe, born 01 Feb 1872 in Tecumseh, Michigan and died 18 May 1927 in Bath, Michigan, was the son of Philip Kehoe and Mary McGovern. Philip was born 04 May 1833 in Ireland, son of Patrick Kehoe and Anna Marah*. *I cannot say will all certainty that Marah was Anna’s maiden name.

It does not appear as though Patrick Kehoe (ancestor of Chevie) and Philip Kehoe (father of Andrew) were siblings, but it is possible that they may have been cousins. Again, there really is no way to know without a lot more research into both families.

Is ‘assault’ dynomite different from industrial dynomite? ... I remember my grandfather using his ‘fire crackers’ to reduce rocks ...

If I recall correctly, he used a rifle to detonate the second explosion, which was intended to kill rescuers. His truck was crammed with dynamite, which he detonated as the school superintendent approached his truck, killing himself, the superintendent, and several rescuers.

But you are correct that he did not shoot anyone, and no children were killed by the second detonation. The first detonation was set off by a timing device, and half the charge failed to explode.

He had already killed his wife (by bludgeoning her to death) and all his farm animals, then blown up and burned down every building on his farm.

Evil incarnate, and the absence of a firearm would have made no difference whatsoever.

Doesn’t count today. Banning explosives that are already banned doesn’t move the agenda, even when the Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground found explosives useful for their cause. But that was then, and he has the ear of the President now. What a country!

Speaking of banning explosives:

During the Columbine massacre, in which 15 people were murdered and 21 injured, a total of four firearms were involved. The murderers also employed four knives and 99 explosive devices.

Of the firearms, only one qualified for banning under the 1984 federal law. One firearm was a doubled barreled shotgun with a shortened barrel. It has long been a federal felony to saw down the barrel of a shotgun and it was also a felony to possess such an altered weapon.

Every single explosive device was a federal and state felony to assemble, possess and use, and to use in the commission of a crime.

If the memory of Columbine is ever brought up today, the failure of the law to stop the use of explosives in a school massacre is never mentioned. It is never mentioned because it is a fact that gets in the way of a Gollum-like fixation on the Precious, the banning certain types of firearms and then eventually all firearms.

The more important thing to note is that we did not have 24-7 talking head coverage of this killing.

As a result, there was no epidemic of parental paranoia and no demands that we "do something" no matter how stupid that something might be. (And I think that posting armed guards in every school is every bit as stupid and useless as banning 30 round mags)

A member of the school board and the town clerk, on May 18, 1927 he orchestrated a plot to dynamite the Bath Consolidated School, killing thirty-seven children.

Isn't Dymamite illegal to own??

Along the same line, I believe the largest mass murder (not in an abortion clinic) in U.S. History is still the Happy Land Social Club arson in 1990. 87 were killed.

Assault weapons used? Plastic container of gasoline and 2 matches.

In fact, in 1927, one could buy fully-automatic weapons over the counter at a hardware store. And we were a much safer country then....

Compare this to the biggest mass murder the .gov pulled off:

Seventy-six men, women and children,[8][9] including the sect leader, David Koresh, died in the fire. The Waco siege also has been described as the “Waco massacre.”[10]
