Chemistry for Anarchists, June 19
Tyler stood in the front of the room, arms folded, waiting for the students to assemble.
"Hey. We were gonna make fertilizer bombs today, but even Danger Shop is balking at that much firepower. So instead of doing, we're gonna talk and watch TV."
He reached for a stack of handouts and started passing them out. "This is a really good article on the science of fertilizer bombs. Sounds funny -- making a bomb out of what's basically waste -- but it doesn't look funny at all," and to illustrate that he hit a button on a projector, and the image of a ruined building filled a screen. "This is what the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City looked after it got hit with a truckload of fertilizer rigged to explode."
"Now we're going to watch an episode of Biography about Tim McVeigh, who was responsible for that destruction. He believed the U.S. government was corrupt and invading personal liberties, and that -" he nodded to the screen "- was how he chose to express it."
"Watch the episode, then write a couple paragraphs reacting to McVeigh's story. Next week is your final; you'll get to actually blow things up again then."
[OOC Edit: If you're reading this class late, please be aware it was the result of a lapse of judgement on my part, and I recognize the handling of the material was inappropriate. The links, especially the image link, may be disturbing.]
