Timothy McVeigh quotes
Timothy McVeigh (1968-2001) was an American domestic terrorist known for perpetrating the deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil until the 9/11 attacks. Born in New York, McVeigh served in the U.S. Army and became deeply disillusioned with the government, particularly after the events at Ruby Ridge and Waco. On April 19, 1995, he detonated a truck bomb in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people, including 19 children. This act of violence was motivated by his anti-government sentiments and desire for revenge. McVeigh was captured shortly after and ultimately sentenced to death. His case provoked national conversations about domestic terrorism and the limits of individual dissent.
