Real Talk: Joseph Andrew Stack Is NOT a Hero



This is quick and dirty story of Joe Stack.

He got mad at the government and with the IRS, so he crashed his small plane into an office building with federal tax employees in Austin.

2 people are hurt and 1 can not be found.

This man blames the government for his suicide claiming it's their fault.

This is being investigated as we speak, however he's already being described as a hero?
Finally an American man took a stand against our tyrannical government that no longer follows the constitution and is turned its back on its founding fathers and the beliefs this country was founded on.
Child Cheese, he is not a hero. He put people in danger, he could've killed hundreds and he was selfish. That is not characteristics of a hero.

We all get mad at the IRS, but it is an excuse to take this mode of action. Joe Stack will not be honored, he committed suicide because he couldn't take it! This is not an act of patriotism, this is was a myopic reaction.

Of course you're right about Mr. Stack being a hero, however, much of what he wrote on his website has been repeated almost verbatim by many other people.

Do we undermine their concerns because of what happened today?

There is only one way to describe this crazed idiot:

TERRORIST.

He committed an act of terrorism on U.S. soil. If anyone agrees with what he did then they are supporting terrorism. Plain and simple.

Consider that both the IRS and the Federal Reserve violate that ever loving hell out of the constitution and you can probably understand why the guy did this.

If you're ever bored read David Burnham's "A Law Unto Itself: Power, Politics and the IRS".

I was in San Antonio when I heard about the accident working with the group that also manages our Austin locations. Obviously, they were quite distraught when they heard about the crash, and relief came only as details unfolded and they were able to confirm that no one in our employ was affected.

Later that day, we heard about the asshats on facebook trying to declare this terrorist a "hero"!!! Miss Ginger was completely aghast!!!

They should all be exiled to the Afghani dessert!!!

I don't know anything about the American taxation system, apart from that Seinfeld episode where Jerry got audited, and George's girlfriend worked for the IRS, which was very convenient, up until George decided to tell her she was pretentious and she had a breakdown...

Er... I detract.

How in hell can anyone condone or justify what this lunatic did? I'm in complete agreement with David Dust.

HERO.

Definitely not a terrorist. I doubt his actions were intended to cause fear and panic so much as to avenge a perceived wrongdoing.

There's really no education in the USA. People don't even know what words mean.

Our government harms a lot of people and has ruined most of the country. Doubt what I say? Just wait for China to dump 200 billion of US Government debt and you will see what our government has done to our country. You think the economy is bad now?

Stack's our very own homegrown, suicide bomber! The Arabs can take a break the US Government makes them at home now.

Actually, he is a HERO, he is no less a hero than any U.S. Soldier fighting in IRAQ for what they believe in. They kill many people including innocent people everyday for what they and the |U.S government believes in. He want fairness among all the US people. He is just as mad as many others and had the guts to do something about it where the most of us sit here and complain and give in to whatever our governments screw us over with. GOOD FOR HIM!
