Jimmy Townsend ////// 838 Part 1 of 1 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com If there ever was a boy who was a living legend in his neck of the woods, well for West Monroe, Louisiana in the early 1980’s it was Jimmy Townsend. Jimmy was smart, talented, good looking, and liked by all. He was known in West Monroe for his athleticism and the ability to carry his youth sports teams to success. It was thought that Jimmy would most certainly someday take his talents to the Majors. Jimmy as it seemed was destined for big things. Jimmy and a group of friends were confronted and attacked by a group of older boys at the annual Ark-La-Miss fair. Jimmy was beaten to death by those boys.

Hate American Made ////// The Soldier Part 5 of 6 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com Timothy James McVeigh was a decorated American Soldier who served during Operation Desert Storm. After the war McVeigh had difficulties finding a new path for himself. Ultimately, he became enraged against the government that his soldier duties once served. He believed and told others that the U.S. government was in the process of taking away the freedoms of its citizens. Then Ruby Ridge happened and when the Waco standoff was in its early stages he was present, even giving an interview to a local reporter. These events were “proof” to McVeigh that he was right. All of his fears were coming true. Timothy McVeigh became America’s worst homegrown terrorist when he blew up the Alfred P. Murrah building in downtown Oklahoma City. What meaning did the Oklahoma City Bombing hold for Timothy McVeigh and beyond? Was it revenge? Was it the first act of a revolution? Was it a going away present for Richard Snell?

Hate American Made ////// The Prophet Part 3 of 6 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com In 1983 David Koresh formally Vernon Wayne Howell claimed to possess the power of prophecy.

Hate American Made ////// Ruby Ridge Part 2 of 6 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com Ruby Ridge is the name given to a standoff that lasted for days when federal agents were attempting to serve a bench warrant for husband, father, and property owner Randy Weaver. Weaver was wanted for failure to appear in court, facing illegal weapons charges. A series of errors created unnecessary bloodshed. Several people lost their lives on both sides of this standoff. The words Ruby Ridge have grown to be an “uncomfortable” phrase for many people, communities, and U.S. Government agencies. Ruby Ridge was much more than a big and deadly misunderstanding. Ruby Ridge was an abuse of power and forever shall be a stain on the agencies that abused their power.

Hate American Made ////// The White Supremacist Part 1 of 6 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com Hate itself is not a crime. Hate is a feeling, an emotion but hate can very easily become criminal. In fact we see it everyday on the News, playing out before our eyes. Richard Wayne Snell was a white separatist and a white supremacist. His hate became criminal. He committed several hate crimes that resulted in the murders of innocent people. Unfortunately within certain groups throughout several states Richard Snell was looked at as a leader, an influencer, and a lone wolf. He was a bad man full of hate who preferred to operate alone but when his mission became overthrowing the U.S. Government it required that he work with others. He found friendship in several hate groups that operated far and wide, from Arkansas all the way out to Washington state. Richard Wayne Snell’s hate fueled more hate and that hate turned violent and deadly. More True Crime Garage can be found on Patreon and Apple subscriptions with our show - Off The Record.
