Tell that to the 168 people killed in the Oklahoma City bombing.

Oh, I don't doubt that the FBI get up to their share of shenanigans. But that doesn't mean that there aren't real people who really hate other people for reasons of ethnicity, religion, skin tone, sexuality etc. Nor does it mean that those people sometimes decide to make their hatred concrete through the medium of dead people.

It's a bit ironic to cite the Oklahoma City bombing, as it was motivated by retaliation for the Ruby Ridge and Waco incidents, two examples of federal law enforcement "shenanigans" that resulted in a lot of dead civilians. Maybe those sorts of sting operations do more harm than good?
