Propane plot in Elk Grove shocks Idaho columnist
Lewiston Tribune columnist Bill Hall reflects on a proposed plot to blow up two large propane tanks in Elk Grove California linked to Idaho militia. He contrasts the motive with his late mother’s forgiving nature and questions how a few isolated militants believed such a tactic could trigger a U.S. overthrow. He likens the idea to Timothy McVeigh’s attack and laments broader social disconnect.
