Absolutely, that's the kind of post that i'm looking for. The oklahoma bombing was a horrible tragedy and some ex military pos thought it would be a good idea. He was a traitor, and i think got the death penalty.  Terrorism doesn't happen everyday though, so i'm going to pull up historical examples as well as more recent ones.  |
Timothy McVeigh got the death penalty and was executed in Terre Haute. Terry Nichols is incarcerated at ADX Florence, which is where Ted Kaczynski was incarcerated. They convicted him of conspiracy, but couldn't conclusively prove that he met the criteria for Murder One. He was in Kansas at the time McVeigh detonated the bomb. The charge they convicted him of could have also qualified for the federal death penalty, but the jury deadlocked on the penalty phase and he ultimately got life without parole.
Currently, other than Nichols, Dzokhar Tsarnaev (the Boston Marathon bomber), Eric Rudolph (the Centennial Park bomber), Adam Fox (the mastermind of the plot to kidnap Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer), and El Chapo are incarcerated at ADX Florence, along with a lot of al-Qaeda operatives including Zaccarias Moussaoui. Terry Nichols was incarcerated at a block in ADX Florence known as Bomber's Row, because that's where Kaczynski and Rudolph were also imprisoned. He's been moved since.
