Journal Journal: Anniversary of Oklahoma City bombing
Today is the 10th anniversary of the bombing of the Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City byt Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. I am once again saddened and outraged at the injustice of the murder of 168 people, 18 of which were children and infants. The fact that none of my family were directly affected, despite living in Oklahoma City does nothing to console me or to relieve my anger at the perpetrators of this crime. The fact that Timothy McVeigh was executed for committing this crime does little to console me. I wish that we had resurrection technology to bring him back to life and kill him repeatedly, over and over. If he were driven insane by this process, we should treat him until he is well again, and then kill him some more.
My birthday, April 19th, was ruined forever by this tragedy. My own family on this day forgets my birthday, but remembers this tragedy. I don't blame them, and that is not why I am angry. I am angered because of the people whose entire lives were ruined, destroyed in an instant, by this evil, evil person. Beyond the people who died in the tragedy itself, there were the thousands of people who lost spouses, children, friends, even whole families. People committed suicide from the sorrow of the loss. McVeigh claims these people deserve to die because they served the "Evil Empire". Children and infants serve the empire? Please. What about McVeigh himself. He served the "Evil Empire" in the army. Why didn't he set a good example by killing himself first?
Even ten years later, the anger at this injustice boils inside of me. I don't think it will ever go away. Time doesn't heal all wounds. May God be with all the families of those hurt and killed in this tragedy. May God welcome them into heaven with open arms. And may Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols burn forever in Hell.
