Spring Break around 4/20? Welcome to Hell.

(Aside from the fact that would never happen as Spring Break is usually a mid-semester break, that and it's too close to finals week at most colleges.)

No, not really.

Oklahoma bombing was in response to the Davidian ranch torching.
Columbine shooting was just coincidentally just near those dates, although i believe they did like Hitler and chose that date specifically.
And Cho saw the Columbine shooters as matrys, so wanted to imitate them.

Seriously...a CPA who got married on April 15?

I'm guessing you didn't take part in much of the wedding planning ;)

It has nothing to do with Hitler's birthday, it is all centered around General MacArthur's resignation. :p

Yep, OK = Oklahoma. I didn't know the OK date was planned based on the Waco date.

Waco was a screw up by the Feds

OK was considered by Tim to be a payback

Im familiar with both events, I personally consider them both to be "bad" incidents.

Dunno. He said that there was a good incident on the 19th. Then he has only talked about Waco and OK since then. He could, or could not be. I would assume he believes both were bad incidents. You never know with ATOT these days though.

1933?

edit: nvm, you could have just told us. Although, your statement is an assumption by an extreme measure.
