An American Bombing: The Road to April 19th (2024)

I can not believe it’s been almost 30 years since this happened. I’ll never forget watching it unfold on the news and the firefighter carrying the little baby in his arms. It was all so surreal that this could happen in a America. Now as I sit here today I’m surprised it has happened more often. I guess as we age and our innocence is stripped away as well as our desensitization that is to be expected. RIP to all those that lost there lives on that terrible day.

You wouldn’t have been surprised if our public schools weren’t teaching us a watered down, censored accounting of our history. As we’ve seen recently with shows about specific events that most are unaware of, like the Tulsa massacre, we aren’t being taught about certain topics. While it’s at least somewhat understandable from a perspective of those in power not wanting to give people ideas, being unaware of dark aspects of our history makes it more likely that those mistakes will be repeated. Valuable teaching moments are being missed.

I find it odd that there is still no specific US law for domestic terror.
