I have resisted an unlawful arrest.

But rather than reach for a pocket or take a swing at a cop, I demanded someone call the sheriff at his home and started yelling out his home number to the bar.

It was a very effective, albeit not very subtle, tactic.

There were a couple of surviving Branch Davidians from Westlake, LA if memory serves me correct. Not sure whatever became of them.

Another coincidence: McVeigh was executed June 11, 2001, three months to the day before the WTC attacks.

Your understanding of what happened is superficial at best. Do some reading.


I have. Your understanding is typical of the slanted rightwing sympathizers of neo-Nazi white supremicists like Randy Weaver. And FYI, sawed-off shotguns ARE illegal according to federal laws. It was nobody but HIS fault for his getting involved in that. Again, Weaver put himself and his family in the spot they got in. The ONLY reason people like you rush to defend that pos is that you are sympathetic to his rightwing views. So, go suck on that, clown.

The pos violated federal gun laws, to boot, in addition to being a pedophile. Now I know that cult people like yourself think scum like Koresh should be allowed to have automatic weapons and any type of weapon they want, but thankfully, we still have sane people in authority to counter-act moronic thinking such as yours.

I was in 4th grade at in Edmond, OK at the time. My school was about 13 miles away from the bombing and we felt the building shake. They told us one of the a/c units on the roof blew up.

The construction company my dad was working for at the time had some of the first civilians on scene removing rubble. Bad stuff.

Only an idiot would suggest that there was justification for a sniper to shoot Weaver's wife in the back of the head.

I went up to Oklahoma City for a hearing in state court shortly after the bombing (but after the area had been cleaned up). I walked up to the area where the bombing took place. It was creepy. Windows were blown out everywhere. No one was around.

Almost spot on with his manifesto and the progressive media and how it would be today. Ted was a pretty smart guy.

I was stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma at the time. While running an errand in my car, I hear over the radio something to the effect of, "More on the Oklahoma City explosion when we return . . ." in a very upbeat voice with the ubiquitous transition music playing in the background. I assumed it was a music festival or something, and made a mental note to check it out. Got back to my office and saw the news.

I also experienced an eerie coincidence a few years later, when two of my CAS3 classmates at Leavenworth had direct ties to the bombing: one was McVeigh's platoon leader in Desert Storm; the other was Michael Fortier's brother.

You can read it online.

I also enjoy manifestos. My personal favorite is Cho's (Va. Tech.) one act play. That definitely should have set off some serious red flags.

I attended a training seminar (Fed LEO) that put together a very convincing argument that the OKC bombing was an Al Queda operation. We either weren’t sophisticated enough to realize it or we covered it up. My guess is that it was a cover up job by the Justice Department.
