The neighbor that called the FD to report the house fire found it before the plane hit the building. IRS may have a lien on the plane, but they can't take your home. Wages they can garnish, but they can't take your primary residence. People who knew him said all the tax trouble started out in California. Unsure if it's state or federal related or both. Texas has no state tax, so maybe that's why he came here. If he thought he could out run the tax man he was kidding himself.

 

His family can't get insurance for an arson or any life insurance he may have had so they are just screwed. Fact is that now his family is homeless, and if the debts were incured while this woman was married to him, they are now hers. Guess he should shot the whole family in the head to spare them all. :dozey: The government doesn't have try and make him look crazy, he did a damn fine job of that all by himself.

The government doesn't have try and make him look crazy, he did a damn fine job of that all by himself.

 

Right, because nobody has a right to be angry at the government. Nobody has a right to feel indignant, or even lose their mind, when the government harasses them at every turn.

 

Just bend over and take it.

 

I feel so sorry for this man, and so sorry for the victims of the IRS, who you never hear about in the news. Does that make me crazy? I don't sit at the popular kids' table, but at least I can identify aggression with greater clarity than you ever will be able to.

 

EDIT:

 

This guy sums it up nicely. We should feel sympathy for this man, and none for the IRS agents. But it's clear suicide and/or self-defense isn't a mentally-healthy way to deal with the problem, simply because Leviathan Inc. is too big for it to have any effect. He was driven to do this because he assumed the government was supposed to be a moral agency, when he should have recognized that it isn't.

"How can you call someone a hero who after he burns down his house, gets into his plane ... and drives it into the building to kill people?" Hunter told "Good Morning America." "My dad Vernon did two tours of duty in Vietnam. My dad's a hero."

 

My dad's a hero, not your dad! My dad went to Vietnam TWICE and killed some gooks! :rolleyes:

Joe Stack is MY hero.

I'm suing the widow of the IRS employee.
