First, I have ZERO interest in this topic turning political.
I first heard about the Bath, Michigan school bombing probably 5 years ago. It wasnt until recently while watching a YouTube video that I learned Bath Michigan is about 10 miles from Lansing. I had to see it while I was at the Homecoming this past weekend.
To say the guy responsible was batshit crazy would be a huge understatement. There is a museum across the street from where the original school sat filled with personal items, memories, story’s, etc. we got there just a little before the museum closed, the people there were polite enough to allow us to look around before they closed. I bought a couple books on the subject, I’ll read them at work after my vacation is over.
well crap!!!!! Once again, I’m unable to post a link to the story. For those in readerland who are interested, look up Bath Michigan Massacre. Something the curator at the museum told me that isn’t he really known is in addition to bombing his house, the also set explosives along the intersections leading to the house, and the school. He deliberately set the timers so the farmhouse blew up first, drawing the fire dept and police away from the school. He wanted as much help away from the school as possible. Luckily none of the intersection bombs went off, and only half the school explosives detonated.
the copula that was on top of the school survived, and is now on display in the exact spot it was in when it was on the school.
