Yes, but they weren't the target.....they were unfortunates who were "in the way" of the target. The 13-year-old child was the target here.

What do you mean they weren't the target? Just in the way were they? So who wasn't in the way that day? McVeigh planted a bomb in a building where men, women and children were congregated. You think he gave a damn? He was a callous thug, a cold hearted killer. He didn't give a sh!t who he killed. He did it with a cold heart and was totally callous and unrepentant about it later.

Besides this- there are literally an unknowable number of child killers walking around our country and others as we speak. Some Americans do apparantly get off on killing kids. It is totally preposterous to say an American wouldn't kill a child on purpose- happens all the time.

There was a reason why he picked the building he picked. I seem to recall there were some offices of govenment there, as well as other "important" types of businesses. This building "happened" to also have a daycare facility. That was irrelevant to him.....in his mind, it matter naught that children would "happen" to die because they were in a building that housed his "real targets." Is this not what he meant by "collateral damage?"
