He was a quiet man....

In his note, Stack refers to several disputes with the IRS that cost him more than $40,000 and "10 years of my life." He twice started software companies in California that ultimately were suspended by the state's Franchise Tax Board. Stack listed himself as chief executive officer of both.

In 1985, he incorporated Prowess Engineering Inc. in Corona, Calif. In 1994, he failed to file a state tax return and was suspended in 2000 by the tax board. He started Software Systems Service Corp. in Lincoln, Calif., in 1995. That entity was suspended in 2004. Denise Azimi, spokeswoman for the Franchise Tax Board, said Stack did not pay state taxes in 1996 and 2002 - a bill totaling $1,153.

Dude... just pay your damn taxes. What a pathetic thing to throw your life (and potentially other people's lives) away over.

IgG4: Why is this not terrorism?

As defined by the Patriot Act, it is.

Why hasn't the leaders of the white community spoken out to condemn this man? Where is the outrage? What is his religion? Some kind of Christian no doubt...where is the Christian outrage!?

So he could afford his own plane but he couldn't afford to pay his taxes. Fark that guy.

Didn't see him coming? I guess he aimed for her eyes?

Shouldn't we be waterboarding people to find out if he was involved with others who think the same?

Strange how that only works for some "terrorists" according to the right.

IgG4: Why is this not terrorism?

Apparently one bozo claimed it wasn't terrorism because Stacks was an American. Same as shooting OB/GYNs and blowing up federal buildings with fertilizer bombs.

You know, terrorism is what non-Judeo-Christian swarthy people do.

Tim McVeigh II: Electric Boogaloo

So did either of the threads yesterday come to a consensus as to which movement/political party we're to attribute 100% of the blame?

IgG4: Why is this not terrorism?

because it was one guy, and not a group threatening to do more. Are you and I in terror of another IRS place happening tomorrow? No. Right after 9/11 did you think anything was possible of exploding next? yes. That is terrorism.

and you are a dumb ass troll.

I think he's been planning this for months, and his buddies are covering for him.

He's alive and laughing his a*s off.

FTFA "The home was set ablaze Thursday morning, burning to the ground as Sheryl and the couple's daughter watched from the street."

Nice of him to leave his wife and daughter homeless.

StarshipPooper: Didn't see him coming? I guess he aimed for her eyes?

They would have seen it coming if they had looked out of the windows.

I am willing to go 50/1 that everyone in my apartment complex could describe me as "quiet, kept to himself".

He wasn't attacking the State. He was attacking a portion of the State. The terrorists of today have a problem with "the West". It isn't the IRS, DMV or any other TLA. It is the USA (a TLA btw). FWIW, the dude said FML, I want to cause pain.

I hate taxes but killing IRS folks isn't a solution. The problem is in Washington. Vote them out, change the laws.

BlorfMaster: because it was one guy, and not a group threatening to do more.

And you know this how, exactly? Please, enlighten us as to this man's associations and networks.

I haven't been watching the news, but are you saying that they are not reporting this as an outrage?

Well, if not here's mine.

Stupid motherfarker should not kill oneself over less money than what it cost to commit suicide.

Get a rope, slit your wrists, whatever, just if you are going to kill yourself over money then be frugal about it. Really, just stick to your convictions, no point in giving the IRS a plane over your dead body when all the IRS wanted was about the amount it would cost to fill the planes fuel tank.

Especially when he could have gotten a job in Obama's cabinet.

"The 53-year-old contract software engineer, whose full name was A. Joseph Stack III, wrote that he spent months on the six-page diatribe in hopes it would be therapeutic."

Aw Joe, you magnificent shmuck, you spent months on those six pages and now the words literally exploded off the pages.

McVeigh wasn't a terrorist?

You sound desperate.

This was an act of domestic terrorism from someone who felt he was taxed enough already.

Was also a quiet man. But a loner who dreamed about lime Jell-O

What a lazy piece of shiat. Couldn't even be bothered to go after the right farking people instead of just some random office workers.

Wow, a complete tard in every aspect of hsi life. I'd be ashamed to have been this freaks 'friend'.

Same reason they're interviewing his friends rather than brute forcing his online presence to dig up extremist connections.

And not able to collect on his life insurance, I think. Doesn't that become void if it's suicide?

Take it easy, dude. There is no fixed and set definition of 'terrorism.' Most 'definitions' only state that it is an asymmetric act of violence directed against a civilian-area target intended to attract and maximize media exposure to some sort of message. It is the 'message-sending via asymmetric violence' part that is the hallmark of a 'terrorist' act. Any fear of additional attacks is icing on the cake rather than a core attribute.

asmodeus224: Why hasn't the leaders of the white community spoken out to condemn this man? Where is the outrage? What is his religion? Some kind of Christian no doubt...where is the Christian outrage!?

Um, everywhere?

I don't see anybody saying he did the right thing, and I do see lots of white Christian folk denouncing it.

While this is terrorism, this is unrelated to religion. Muslim extremists (to which your post obviously refers) commit terrorism in the name of their religion.

Something about "concerned about all the stuff normal people are concerned about" makes me really mad...
