Gallows humor is not for everyone.

Edit: His motivation was retribution for the innocent lives lost at Ruby Ridge and Mount Carmel. A big part of the tragedy was that there was a day care center in the building. Theories abound about him being assisted by Clinton administration agent provocateurs (John Doe #2) with the intention of gaining support and funding for government action against militia/patriot/right wing nationalist organizations.

MacVeigh Got off easy with lethal injection, he deserved a much more painful death. And even jokingly supporting a terrorist is not cool.

Satire is lost on you.

Also I'd debate whether or not the label of "terrorist" would apply to him. He blew up a government building to kill government agents, he wasn't trying to indiscriminately kill civilians.

I never said what he did was ok, I said it wasn't terrorism.

I'm locking this for now. If another mod wants to unlock it, I'll have no problem with it.
