Back in 2001 the federal government executed a man for the first time since 1963, Timothy McVeigh. McVeigh killed 168 people when he detonated an explosive device outside of a federal building in Oklahoma City, OK. This senseless act of pre 9/11 terrorism occured on April 19, 1995, exactly 2 years to the day when a standoff between the ATF agents and a relegious sect led by David Koresch resulted in the death of some 80 "cult" members. Innocent men, women, and children were killed in both instances. The final result, one of our very own U.S. soldiers, Timothy McVeigh, a gulf war veteran who was a part of General Schwarzkopf's elite inner circle during Desert Storm, was executed by lethal injection in Terre Haute, Ind. Six of us retraced these steps, from Waco, to Oklahoma City, and finally Terre Haute, in search of understanding on the eve of the McVeigh execution. This is what we brought back. It features the music of Lou Barlow, Calexico, and Destroyer.

McVeigh fulfilled his orders, part of those orders being his supposed confession and willingness to not appeal his execution, like a good soldier. He was convinced by members of the militia he belonged to who were actually covert U.S. intelligence agents involved with the plan to destroy ATF eveidence being stored at the Federal bldg. All that evidence was vaporized in the explosion. I still wonder why ALL the ATF fucks that worked there just happened to not be around when things went boom.

"Decency, security, and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen... If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy." Justice Louis D. Brandeis A witness saw McVeigh enter the ATF days before the bombing. Just like the paid FBI informant who tried to stop the 1993 bombing. Feed your own brain!

Timothy McVeigh was a sick and disturbed man. GOD have mercer on his soul.

Yeah a lot of stores stocked up a lot for that. It was insane how many news organizations showed up for this event. Terre Haute being the small place it is was shell shocked by this event. Atleast I was.

timothy did not go to hell...... he received the sacrament of confession, and he received last rites to get to heaven

I agree those are criminals and you should be read the truth about the Okc bombing by Jayna Davis. Thanking Mc Veigh? Mc Veigh was working for Osama he was trained in Brazil are you also a terrorist? Our government kept the info because they did not want to attack. You really have no clue to what really went down. Do a little research it might open your eyes. MC Veigh was no hero.

For a Patriot, I think you're not doing a good job. You should be thanking Tim McVeigh, and looking for the real Criminals (Janet Reno, Clinton, and the ATF FBI war criminals)
