Why, who would do such a thing? Obviously someone with some fringe group, someone with a cause so extreme that only bombing could express the rage felt?

Close. The bombing was done by three active duty members of the U.S. Army. They had two extremist causes. They did the bombing in order to shut down the camp, which was used for Reserve and National Guard training, to protest the Vietnam War. They were also all members of a fringe group called the American Serviceman’s Union, that wanted to unionize the military. While I do not have fond feeling for either the anti-war crowd or union organizers to this day, I do not believe that their actions invalidated the views of countless others who held the same views. While the support for Rudolph may shock the Oregonian, it in no way reflects on those who have the same views but abstain from violence.
