OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) For years after she was trapped beneath six feet of rubble and seriously injured in the Oklahoma City bombing, Amy Petty kept her experience and the grief she felt over the deaths of 18 co-workers mostly to herself. snip


But now Petty finds comfort in publicly telling her story and expressing her feelings about the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building the worst domestic terrorist attack in U.S. history that killed 168 people and injured hundreds more.

2. And the repuke asshats at Fucked News are encouraging more of the same.
Of course they will be "shocked" and "outraged" when it happens again.
