Six years after the bombing, a right-wing media figure would tell a story about how they had met with Timothy McVeigh and an associate before the bombing. The meeting ended with them telling him to, quote, watch Oklahoma City. But one of the topics of conversation was what should McVeigh do if he's pulled over by the police? Quote, just take the ticket and go on your way, was the advice McVeigh was given, to which he replied, quote, you don't think I should shoot them? This was rebuffed, quote, why would you shoot someone over a ticket? That right-wing figure was Bill Cooper.
