Shawn's opinon:
I do not think that it was a conspiracy because it was the act of a crazy man that was trying to prove the government was conspiring against us. Also, there was a witness to the trial, and she talked all about how he was against our government. Also, he did not want to conspire, he wanted to prove a point, and he took things too far. All in all, I believe this was the act of a madman who hurt innocent people.
Colin's opinon:
I do not think that there is any such thing as the “April Conspiracy”. Our event, while timed to send a message to the government, was not planned by the conspirators of both the Waco Siege and the Oklahoma City Bombing. If there were a conspiracy, it is likely that McVeigh would have been a member of anti-government or anarchistic groups, which investigators found no proof of. He kept the plot secret for the most part and enlisted very few other people to assist him.
Austin's opinon:
I do belive there is an "April Conspiracy". During questioning McVeigh stated that he planned the bombing to be 2 years after the Waco, Texas fire that killed David Koresh and his followers. Doing research, I fing that on April 19, 1993 - A government siege at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, ends in a fire that leaves cult leader David Koresh and 78 followers dead. Just 2 years later on April 19, 1995 - A bomb rips through the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building at 9:02 a.m. Timothy McVeigh is arrested 90 minutes later on a firearms charge after a traffic stop near Billings, Okla. So seeing this made me believe that all these events are linked to one another.
Matt's opinon:
The bombing in Oklahoma City is thought to be part of the April Conspiracy Theory, but after doing research and looking over the details of this particular bombing I have come to the conclusion that this is not part of the conspiracy theory. Timothy McVeigh, the man who was guilty of this bombing, he disliked the government and he said that he nothing against the people who were not in government authority. For reasons like this one I would say that this was not a part of the conspiracy, because he never told anyone except for a few friends that were found guilty to but he planned this a few months before the bombing actually took place. He never really said that he planned for this to take place in April it was something that took time to plan and prepare for. So again I would say that we disagree with the thought that this is connected with the April Conspiracy.
