The Oklahoma City murders seemed to quiet that talk for a time. \u00a0Such talk seems to be on the upswing again and it scares me a little bit.\u00a0There are mentally unbalanced people out there, like the cowards responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing, who are liable to act on those words.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Jesus Wept by alnbbates, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/5633926991\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5147\/5633926991_029a4f0348_z.jpg\" alt=\"Jesus Wept\" width=\"561\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But for today, lets just remember the 168 innocents and their family and friends.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/kfor.com\/2015\/04\/13\/oklahomans-show-immense-strength-in-times-of-despair\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"\/\/i.zemanta.com\/337008513_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/kfor.com\/2015\/04\/13\/oklahomans-show-immense-strength-in-times-of-despair\/\" target=\"_blank\">Oklahomans show immense strength in times of despair<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/twenty-years-later-people-oklahoma-city-bombing-n342821\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"\/\/i.zemanta.com\/337846634_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/twenty-years-later-people-oklahoma-city-bombing-n342821\" target=\"_blank\">Where Are They Now?
