Ep. 142 Timothy McVeigh: Meat Cute
We’re back this week with the first installment in our series on Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing. The story behind the 1995 attack is almost common knowledge now. An angry white kid got so upset with our government that he decided to send a gruesome message. But what made Timothy so perfect for radicalization? Join us as Mando tells Paige and Andrea all about the goofy childhood that helped push him into becoming the deadliest domestic terrorist in modern American history.
