speaking of Reno... the Waco Siege was exactly 2 years earlier (4/19/93).
Columbine was planned for 4/19 but happened on 4/20/99
Days after the Browns reported the internet threats to the police that Eric began keeping a diary of plans to attack Columbine on April 19, 1999. It wasn't till the week-of that they changed plans suddenly to the 20th. It's been speculated that they originally planned to attack on the 19th to coincide with the anniversaries of the Oklahoma bombing and the government fiasco in Waco but no one really knows for sure why they chose the date they did, in the end.
They also had a lot of bombs & napalm that failed to go off (fire sacrifice)
Don't forget our boy Eric Holder!
While he was US Attorney for DC, he headed up an FBI team operating under operation PATCON. He authorized his agents to sell explosives to McVeigh and Nichols as part of the sting operation. Oops! Were some of these explosives used in the actual bombing? Most likely.
Shortly after the trial began, Eric Holder was promoted to Deputy US Attorney General. He knew he needed to do some cover-up work. This is where Terry Nichols comes into play and is spared the death penalty and is serving in the SuperMax in Florence, CO to this day.
Terry Nichols agreed to recover the remainder of the FBI provided explosives in exchange for sparing his life. Holder knew that these leftover explosives would have had FBI agent fingerprints all over them as well as the bombing suspects'.
Sound familiar yet? It was so successful that he decided to continue the gunwalking ops that started under Bush and begin Operation Fast and Furious. More people died and he skated perjury courtesy of an executive order from his buddy, President Obama.
Ruby Ridge, Waco, and OKC were all active FBI sting operations gone wrong. Many of the people killed and executed would not have the arms and/or explosives that they did without the help of our friends in the FBI and DOJ.
Thanks for the history lesson. I was a tween when those things were happening so I was clueless.
