Notably: The Oklahoma City bombing at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building at 9:02 a.m. on this day in 1995 has receded almost entirely from collective memory as the attacks on the Twin Towers have not, because, at least in part, the Oklahoma City attacker was a blue-eyed white American and the attackers of the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were not. The racist McVeigh killed 168 people. The 9/11 terrorists killed 3,000. But we’ve had more reason, far more reason, to worry about white, hard-right terrorism, the Christian nationalist kind, the insurrectionist kind, the mass shooting kind, than we have the Islamist kind, even when taking 9/11 into account: 9/11 was a one-off. The nationalists have been at it since before 1995, and have been at it since. Timothy McVeigh didn’t choose this date out of thin air. It was then the two-year anniversary of the fire at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, where American federal police idiotically, inexcusably attacked the fanatics holed up there, killing 86 cult members, including 17 children, two less than at the Oklahoma building. Killers aside, we have the niggling, reactionary erosion of American liberties the killers’ less violent and differently-effective cousins have been pulling off especially in states like Florida, with differently-calibrated commemorations: they get cheered at the legislature and at local government meetings. Or they get to pray, publicly.

On the afternoon of March 31, less than three weeks before the Oklahoma City bombing, an old rust-bucket Pontiac drew up at the Imperial Motel on Route 66 in Kingman, Ariz., and Timothy James McVeigh got out and strode into the office to rent a room. It was easy to mistake him for a soldier. He wore camouflage fatigues and black Army boots and carried a green duffel bag. There was a parade-ground discipline in his clean-cut appearance, in the lean stony face and crew cut. His manner resonated with military courtesy. And when he registered, he listed his address as Fort Riley, Kan. For the next 12 days, he remained in his room, emerging only for occasional meals and once to pay his bill. He had no visitors, made no phone calls. Beyond mussing the covers of his king-size bed, he barely disturbed the furnishings. No one heard his television. His car never moved from its place outside. Day after day, there was only a silence behind the drawn blinds and the locked door. “That’s the funny thing,” Helmut Hofer, the motel’s owner, remembered. “He didn’t go out. He didn’t make phone calls. He didn’t do anything. He just sat up there and brooded.”

—-From a profile of Timothy McVeigh by Robert McFadden, The New York Times, May 4, 1994.
