Texas Loony Attacks Wrong Target

I hate to be the bearer of factual news .. But, Mr. Andrew Joseph Stack …

You attacked the wrong building in the wrong city .. The IRS doesn’t make the stupid laws and draft the tax code, or set the rules of enforcement .. Congress does .. By attacking the wrong target, he missed a chance to be a folk hero .. hitting the right target might have generated lot’s of warm fussy feelers in these times .. instead he goes down as a crackpot .. Folks .. think through who the real culprits are before you attack ..

AUSTIN, Texas—A pilot slammed his small plane into a seven-story building that housed the local office of the Internal Revenue Service Thursday, apparently killing himself and one agency employee, in what federal officials described as a deliberate suicide attack amid a long-running tax dispute. The pilot, 53-year-old Andrew Joseph Stack, also set his house on fire before taking off in his single-engine Piper Dakota around 9:40 a.m. local time, investigators said. Officials said they were evaluating an antigovernment manifesto posted on the Internet earlier Thursday, signed “Joe Stack,” which suggested he planned the crash. “Violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer,” the author wrote toward the end of a tirade against the IRS posted at 9:12 a.m. on a Web site registered to Mr. Stack. He described himself as a contract software engineer.
