Texas plane crash

So this person reportedly blew up his house before flying into a federal building in Austin. He left a suicide note on the internet blaming the tax man.

According to the manifesto left behind, the tax man seems to be only a symptom of the real problem. It's a game rigged for the powerful, and the return of feudalism. These are correct assessments. Better it would have been to fly into Goldman Sachs.

His final words are as follows...

I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let’s try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well.

The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.

THE REVOLUTION STARTS TODAY! :twisted: :twisted: Wish I had the guts to do that. It just goes to show you that the employees of the elite (and that's what they are, hired goons) really believe that they can push and push people off the edge and never have to suffer the consequences. It would be nicer if he'd flown into one of the Rothschilds' mansions, though.

wtf? he didn't do anything useful. he tried to burn down his house with his wife and daughter inside and then he flew a plane into a building in an office park that has some government offices in it. had he killed anyone (he didn't, +1failpoint for failure of intent), he would have murdered someone who lives in cubicleworld. the people he was angry about in his rant were not residents of cubicleworld.

what a douche.

Yeah. My Father read the suicide note and read to me the last part about communism - I thought those were interesting words.
But.
Things like this always remind me of the lack of sympathy I show. Not that I don't feel bad, I just down have a reaction to it (like columbine, or 9/11). People are probably going to bring it up tomorrow and go on about how awful it was. I think I always tend to sympathize with the person behind the deed - What did he go through to drive him that far?
Musta been bad...

Look up the definition and you'll probably see that it fits

How long it will be before the Teabaggers blame Obama - you see, in their world, Obama is a Commie, and they will soon say that the person who flew the aeroplane was a Commie, they're all Commies, all conspiring to defraud poor Goldman Sachs and suck the blood out of those great gods... Amen.

Besides completely misrepresenting the Tea Partiers yet again with a strawman, what could you call a person who quotes the Communist Creed as one of their final statements in life?

Well, no, they're just making light of the fact that he was so angry over taxes. This is a subject that nearly everybody can identify with. Notice all the jokes have stayed away from the subject of fatalities and the actual crash. They were all about the man's motive: hatred of taxes.

Okay, wow. You are a horrible person.

1. These people are just doing their jobs. I doubt very much that they get any kind of pleasure from chasing down people who owe taxes. They're not "hired goons" who will bust down your door and crack you in the kneecap for not paying.

2. The average salary of an account collector for the IRS is $51,000 a year. I would hardly call them "elite."

Its elite compared to those of us without a job, or a job that pays hourly. As for this guy, id say he's up for Darwin Awards . . . sadly, he wont be admitted since he has a child/children. He should have flown the plane first and killed himself before trying to burn his family :twisted: . However, if he was a tax dodger in the first place, I'd have no pity for him at all . . . let alone sympathy (ie we dont know where he got what money he did have and/or why the IRS would go after him in the first place).

It is "elite" compared to someone who is jobless, but then the janitor who unclogs the toilets in a Merrill-Lynch office building is too, and thus, according to Pezar, deserves to suffer the consequences of being a "hired goon."
