This morning, a man in Austin, TX lit his own house on fire and took off in him plane, only to fly it into a large office building. They are saying the damage is on the very highest scale compared to the size of the plane. Suicide attempt.

It's the IRS office- someone clearly owes a shit tonne in taxes that instead of pay- he thought fuck it, 1) burn the house... You ain't getting that.. 2) need to off the plane and myself so they can't have that.... While I'm at it mr IRS, get some of this right round ya.... Kapow!! Clearly some kind of 'falling down' style mental fuck nugget...

I lost when I saw he crashed into the IRS because he was "Upset".

That is WAY beyond upset if you ask me :D.

Income tax is constitutionally illegal in your country!

On another note. Now the government will use this to increase the patriot act and such because you are all becoming (domestic terrorists).

He got screwed over by the IRS a bunch of times, he kinda had legitimate reasons to be pissed off, though hes still a lunatic for deciding burning his house and flying his plane into an IRS building is the best solution.

You can read his suicide note/manifesto on (i think his own website) here, http://http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2010/0218102stack1.html, its seven pages of his life story and run ins with the IRS. The last line is the best, it ends with "well big brother, mr. IRS taxman, lets try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well."

On another note, that site has alot of other cool things, like one of the largest collections of celb mug shots. I never knew Tim Allen was arrested in 78 for posession of a large amount of cocaine.

allow me to explain myself since people dont seem to quite get what i said earlier.
clearly this was not a literal act of the teabag movement. this guy clearly had serious mental issues.
HOWEVER
what i was trying to say is that when i see signs like "we came unarmed, this time..." etc at those rallies, and basically people advocated a revolution, i cant help but wonder if nutters like this are getting fuel from stuff like that.

BUT
the more i hear about this guy, the less it sounds like he was involved in that. that was my first impression, and it seems more like he had specific problems with the IRS, and was just plain crazy, not a teabagger. so i retract what i said. for the most part at least.

i read the note...


seems like the guy had it pretty rough....and he is right about most things he said....but i dont feel it needs to be taken to the level of putting innocent peoples lives in danger by flying a plane into a building

Besides the whole domestic terrorist bit, the guy seemed pretty cool, all he tried to do was play  the tax system the way the Christian Church does but got raped over and over by the IRS. Read the letter, it sucks he believed this was the best solution but he has some good criticisms of the gov. and economic conditions.

Guys, I know some of you arent blessed with the intelligence of a 12 year old, but for the love of god, why do you need to put the fact on public display so often. Yeeesh.
