Killing spree
11 Jun 2001Despite the seemingly arbitrary killing of 168 people in the Oklahoma bombing, I still find something disconcerting with the execution of McVeigh (profile). I think not enough is focussed on his reasons for the bombing. What McVeigh did was unacceptable and is an inappropriate way to deal with the government, but their was a definite criticism of the US Government that I think should be heard.
McVeigh seemed to be more interested (what I gather from the media) about gun control, and militia-rights. I just want to know what he was observing. So I view this whole bombing as a means to silence McVeigh and possibly as some gross form of... revenge that the government is enacting on behalf of the victims' families.
