Stack's rant was largely incoherent, but most of the anger seemed to be directed at the taxman.
There are plenty of causes worth dying for.
There are very few causes which justify killing the innocent. In fact, there may be none.
A gripe with the taxman cannot possibly justify the killing of the innocent.
The voice of reason. Sadly I believe there are plenty of people in the US who now identify with our new poster Mr Echo (sp) who also posted that he gives not a shit for those who died at 9-11. Pretty strong words. An anger that I am seeing more and more of as this planet seems to be falling off the the edge of the universe.
Shit the man had a house, he had a plane...just how bad off could he have been? I have nothing but distain for the IRS but in this instance it is his family he harmed and the dead victim in the building, who by all accounts was a terrific man. An innocent bystander to one coward's fury. If he becomes some hero we are all in trouble.
