Info

In 1995, human shit-stain Timothy McVeigh, inspired by The Turner Diaries, a book so bad that it has to be read to be believed and written by another piece of human trash, Andrew McDonald, drove a truck packed fertilizer and explosives up to the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and detonated it. McVeigh, obsessed with the song Bad Company, by Bad Company, and upset by the way the United States government handled the Branch Davidian compound and the siege of Randy Weaver, admittedly poorly, was aided by another piece of trash, Terry Nichols in this attack.

The building was shattered by the blast, meant to level the building as depicted in the book The Turner Diaries. One third of the Murrah building was destroyed. The blast killed 168 people, many of them very young children on account of the damaged part of the building being a daycare center for federal employees. Until the attacks of September 11, this would be the worst terrorist attack committed on US soil. It still holds the record for the worst act of domestic terrorism in the United States.
