Any of y'all watch this? It may have been discussed when it came out in Feb. I was very surprised at the strong connection drawn between McVeigh and white supremacist groups. That wasn't consistent with what I learned about the events as they unfolded. It seemed fishy.

More evidence of Obama connections to radical Islam than there are of McVeigh to any White groups.

It made anyone who had a problem with Waco or Ruby Ridge a white supremacist.

Also made Gun Shows look like they were Neo-Nazi meetings.

How would you feel,if a Muslim extremist walked into a gay bar and killed a bunch of people?

Do you make the connection Gay,or Muslim? Or do you just blame it on the weapon?

That was contemporaneously reported at the time, not fishy at all, just factual

I thought it was pretty clear he wasn't in any white supremist group, but there were white supremist connections to Ruby Ridge. Even though they still weren't major players, just visited the compound a few times.

I'd say that was both. The guy was gay, and his religion made him hate gays, and himself for being gay. That guy was also most likely severely mentally ill.

That was presented. But the documentary said McVeigh was a product of and sprang from that movement, and thus was not acting alone. It was strange.

Over reach by the FBI started all of this. There is a new documentary on Netflix on this called Ruby Ridge.
