The Bombing
--
yes.
This concerns me. If you are too lazy to point your browser there, this is what it says:
FBI: McVeigh knew children would be killed in OKC blast
A lot of people are in an uproar because I don't think they remember when McVeigh first testified, quote: "I didn't know there was a children's center in the Murrah Federal building." back in April of 1995. This doesn't necessarily prove anything. The fact he blew up a building for his own rage is the most horrendous, not that he knew or didn't know children were in the building.
When people learn that I am from Oklahoma City, they always ask: "Raven, were you there for the bombing?"
Yes. I was 6 miles north. My father worked on the same block. I was in school, during chapel when the bomb went off.
Yes.
I was there.
And I knew some people who were killed, specifically the grandparents of Kim, one of my friends.
Yes.
I was there.
I wish I hadn't been.
