""Will we end up as one of the countries where you have to fear for your life when you go to ask the government permission to grow a garden? We are angry at the path we are on.""
Timothy McVeigh probably thought alot like you do and that was a real blow for freedom was'nt it? Did you celebrate Oklahoma City like they did 9/11 in the streets of Lebanon?
People who feel this strongly should take up their argument with those in charge not the poor drones who simply try to earn a living and go home to their families.
McVeigh was acting out on the kind of anger you possess. All those dead people and what did he change or win for his cause?
You celebrate the murder of two men who probably had families of their own by an obviously mentally deranged man over a sewer line easement?
A real blow for freedom? I think not.
Sick.
No, I don't think he did. I use my anger to fuel my political involvement, because I don't think violence is the answer - although like our Founding Fathers I think violence should continue to be a last resort against overbearing government.
While I agree that the guy running the backhoe likely was not an appropriate target (I don't know how closely he may have been involved in the decision-making - in some very small municipalities they all are), I also know that there are many paid staff on local government who do say things like "we are the township - we can do what we want". Those people view being in local government as a way to create a new kind of society, and I am not on board with that. They may be employees but they are calling the shots when they are advising the elected board members on what to do - and the 'do nothing' option is never mentioned.
I cried the day the Murrah Building was attacked, the same as on 9/11. I'm not 100% certain that Tim McVeigh acted alone as an anti-government US citizen, or if he was involved with foreign agents acting for other reason.s
