    Man Crashes Plane into IRS building

    Wow. Just wow.

    I guess the guy ended up owing extra taxes instead of getting the refund he was expecting.

    I didn't realize a small plane could do so much damage to a building. Seems pretty fortunate that only one person in the building was killed.

      The tipping point for Stack appears to be a recent audit, and the discovery of nearly $13,000 in unreported income.
      That's it? This guy was a greedy bastard. Too bad he took someone else out with him.

        Daughter comes out and calls him a Hero. How is this any different then a Terrorist's family coming out in support of their family member's suicide bombing..

        It is not any different. But her comment got me thinking about this and how she is putting him up as a beacon of light against "The system", and how similar terrorists do to their dead....

        The daughter of the man who carried out a suicide plane attack against the IRS in Texas said she considered her father a hero for standing up to 'the system' but said the attack that killed a government worker and injured 12 was inappropriate and wrong.

          Anybody else wonder how this was immediately billed as not being related to terrorism? Because the guy wasn't brown, I assume?

          Also funny how he was immediately called a coward. I'm not sure when this started, but referring to these kinds of people as cowards seems quite absurd. Many insults would seem to apply, so we choose the one that most obviously doesn't.

            This guy should be remembered as a terrorist... even if the strike was against the IRS.
