– It’s been more than 20 years since Timothy McVeigh detonated a truck bomb outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people, including 19 children. It’s also been more than 20 years since a federal officer was shot and killed while guarding a federal building in Oakland, Calif., by two men who weren’t supporters of Black Lives Matter or ANTIFA, but rather the “anti-government ‘boogaloo’ movement.” The two men charged in that killing, Patrick Underwood and Terry Nichols, “were not supporters of Black Lives Matter or ANTIFA but rather the militant anti-government ‘boogaloo’ movement,” per a fact-check by Reuters. Damage to federal buildings involving protesters has not been fatal since the death of George Floyd in police custody on May 25. The two men charged in Oakland’s killing were anti-government “boogaloo” activists, not Black Lives Matter or ANTIFA supporters, the fact-check notes. In Minneapolis, a federal government building was destroyed by fire, a US Post Office was destroyed by fire, and another federal building was severely damaged by fire in the first few days after Floyd’s death. Damage to federal properties amid Black Lives Matter protests and civil unrest is not comparable to the 1995 Oklahoma bombing, for which McVeigh was executed. The bombing killed 168 people, including 19 children.
