From McVeigh's wiki page:
At USP Florence ADMAX, McVeigh and Nichols were housed in what was known as "bomber's row". Ted Kaczynski, Luis Felipe, and Ramzi Yousef were also housed in this cell block. Yousef made frequent, unsuccessful attempts to convert McVeigh to Islam.
why would you throw every bomber in a row. like what's the point. I'm not gonna act like there#s danger they're gonna build prison bombs but why go through the effort
It sounds like the strategy was put them together so they'd be unlikely to fight one another or join a gang, or they'd form a gang themselves. Prisons deliberately encourage inmates to join one of several gangs. Maybe at ADX the prisoners are more unstable than general prisoners, so the strategy is put similar types of violent weirdos together. Sounds like it worked.
Yeah, the california carceral system is notorious for deliberately stocking racial violence and manipulating the formation of prison gangs as part of a divide and conquer strategy. It's pretty dark even by america standards.
Yousef made frequent, unsuccessful attempts to convert McVeigh to Islam.
:inshallah-script:
And I bet they rarely discussed politics or ideological beliefs but rather engaged in the most banal, cordial conversation- the weather, lunch, health complaints, etc. Never acknowledging each other's superstar status and keeping it chill.
you've heard of serial killer fanfics, now get ready for domestic terrorist shipping fanfics
every leftist should probably try to understand what it means for teddy to be friends with McVeigh in particular
even though i too am fond of some uncle ted posting :a-guy:
I mean, I definitely get that they were both bigots with extensive published works to that effect.
But they were also... in jail right next door to one another. Stick me in a concrete cell next to Timothy McVeigh for ten years and I'll probably strike up a few friendly conversations with him purely out of boredom. Its not like there's much else to do.
