Your son is right, and it's not a coincidence.
The Waco siege just happened to be in April. The Oklahoma City bombing was carried out on the anniversary of the Waco event as revenge against the US government. The Columbine shooters were inspired by the Oklahoma City bombing and intended to take over the school on the anniversary, but got delayed by a day. The Virginia Tech shooter was inspired by the Columbine shooters and carried out his attack within a few days of that anniversary.
I'm not going to jump to conclusions about the Boston Marathon or this fertilizer plant explosion, but the rest of it is just a downward spiral of hate and destruction.
