You are right OKC was on a Weds. Today is still Patriots' Day.

If it's not domestic, we've just extended our stay in nightmaristan for another 20 years, another reason to cross your fingers.

But still is Patriot's Day.

Also April 19th was picked specifically because that was the day of the Waco fire two years before.

The last thing this country (or any other country) needs is this to be some muslim extremists. On the flip side it would be nice (again this is 100% comparative) for Americans to be reminded that we make our own crazies right here at home. Obviously no one wanted this to happen, but now that it's happened one scenario is definitely superior to the other.

Well it could just be someone who gets off on mass-killings, not terrorism. But yeah terrorism seems a lot more likely.

Done with CNN after too much Al Qaeda speculation.

Any tv news network offering non-cringeworthy coverage so far?

That sentiment is deplorable and betrays a fundamental lack of empathy and humanity.

Haven't been watching for too long. So far they haven't speculated too heavy. Just mentioned Patriot's Day and past incidence of terrorism. Nothing too fearmongering.
