NickHolt Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Now they are saying the FBI is not housed in that office building, but in one nearby. Apparently the man had a beef with the IRS which is housed in that office building. According to FOX news the man set his own house afire, got in the plane and deliberately flew it into the building.

Truck99 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 FBI is one building over. I believe the IRS offices are in the involved building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh42 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 To take a line from Charlie Hodge on KLBJ instead of flying the plane into the building he should of made out with shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-Crew Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 There is a link to a letter this guy wrote on the Statesman front page. I'm not defending his actions but at least his side of the story makes out that he is the victim of the IRS "Guilty until proven innocent" policy.. http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/sha...d=breaking_news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Moon Motorsports Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 The guy was a NUTJOB! Flew that plane in to the building....could have killed HUNDREDS!!! I think that MOST Americans ahve a beef with the IRS. I don't know anyone that says YIPPEE it's April 15th and I get to pay my taxes! But there are CORRECT ways to make your issues known. Apparently this guy has had a history of anti government rants and threats. When will people start taking this stuff seriously? I mean....Ft. Hood COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED if people had quit being politically correct and gotten involved....SAME WITH THIS NUT BAG!!!!Law Enfocment can only prevent if we get involved! People threatening to blow up Government buildings or kill dozens of people ARE NOT RIGHT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ1796 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 The letter is a typical delusional rant.

racer61 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Rant by someone that had lost it no doubt, but I dont know if I would agree with delusional. Plenty of what he wrote is true. I agree, his actions were very wrong but his idea of the "real" world is dead on! no pun intended. Most all of us are just poor folk trying to get by in this life without any hassle, and there are those willing to take advantage of those people to make a free buck. And nothing is ever done. I will never agree with useless blood-shed, but... you have to admit that the IRS is a bit worried now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REBELRACER Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 i doubt the people in charge who can make a difference in the IRS are worried. the poor people who work for the IRS and do the bidding for the IRS, the little guy just going to his 9-5 job trying to put food on the table for his family, he is probably worried. wondering if next time he wont be so lucky when some pissed off whack job decides to fly his airplane into his place of business. yeah the guy got a bad deal. the government is always taking advantage of the working man. killing innocent people who are just trying to earn a living wont change anything. next week some other idiot will drive into a group of people, or some other worthless third world country will have a natural disaster and the world will forget all about the pissed off guy who flew his plane into a bldg last week. the only ones who will not forget are the families of the people this idiot killed.

lilmodified Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 the part that infuriates me is that he got off scott-free! he's gone now and don't have to think about the families that will be suffering from all this... humanity leaves sooooooooo much to be desired these days!
