Wow, holy shit, this guy sums up exactly how I feel about this American life.
As far as "violence is the only answer," I do agree, but the problem is who you exact that violence upon. Helpless victims working in cubicles in the FBI office are definitely not the right targets.
- who is then and how do you separate?monkeyshine
- That's the problem. I don't know the answer.dMullins
- Their can be no answer without a defined problem...ideaist

Was it terrorism?
- Doesn't seem like he was trying to create 'terror/' Except against the IRS, and I doubt he has.harlequino

i think it was terrorism, but certainly not from the guys on the other side of the pond....

i haven't read his manifesto or whatever, but i hardly think this qualifies as terrorism. The act of terrorism implies that after the initial event (9/11), associated or like parties are ready and willing to repeat the action, thereby creating fear that it will happen again.
This guy, from what i can discern, had a grudge against his government over money and was pushed to a point of committing a ridulculous and harmful act. There is no "there's more of us" or "expect more things like this in the future". He said "here's my pound of flesh". He's (obviously) done.- * (9/11, for example)
locustsloth - I tend to agree with you. More of an epic middle finger, not part of some army or militia.harlequino
- Was Timothy McVey a terrorist?monkeyshine
- I agree...this isn't close to terrorismmonospaced
- He did imply in his letter a longing for more to follow in his wake (so to speak)...duckofrubber

And seriously, "your war has begun"?!?
The only thing that's gonna start any kind of war is a bunch of crackpots thinking a bunch of other crackpots are starting a war because some idiot on a website said it was so- *starts selling t-shirts that read "The Revolution Will Not Be Downloaded"harlequino

its terrorism, don't start being picky about the definition now after there was supposed to be a war on it for the last 9 years. He had an agenda and he attacked in public against basically innocent people. I seriously doubt there would be a discussion whether or not this was terrorism if he was an arab, remember the arab soldier who went on a shooting spree on his military base? No one really thought twice about it, actually everyone jumped on "crazy arab TERRORIST" bandwagon instantly.
- ....and "innocent" are the employees of the IRS? The military? Think about it,eieio
- *tries to walk lightlyeieio
- of course they're innocent...they're doing their jobsmonospaced

I consider it terrorism, only to the degree that Oklahoma City was domestic terrorism.
Populist news only spins the more terrorist to extend their ratings. Nothing more, nothing less.
The guy didn't have "issues," in my opinion either. I have often felt this way too—violently inclined...fed up with lackluster government, pocket-digging, and poor treatment of the people from middle-to-lower-class. I'm glad someone did something about it, and while I feel for the people who may have died or been injured, revolutionary always comes at a price of lives. Sorry, those are just my opinions. If you wanna fucking cry about, go to the politics thread where everyone else is babbling about their "feelings," but in the end, doing nothing.
- i imagine you'd feel less blasé about it if it were your loved ones who were hurtlocustsloth
- I'm not exactly understanding what you have to say. I said my peace, it's how I feel.dMullins
- My views don't change based on proximity of relation.dMullins
- If someone in my family accepted a job at the IRS I would punch their neck.ornj
- Exactly. As far as I'm concerned, the day you sign up for police/military, you're dead to me.dMullins

I love this part in the CNN article.
"Are you there? Share your photos, video, stories with CNN"
Yes yes, stop fleeing from the burning building for God's sake! Take photos with your phone and upload them to CNN! Text us your story, tweet it if you have to and we'll grab it from there! LOL. Are you there? Stop running and send us photos!
Bunch of vultures.

Now that the FBI has taken his site down, did anyone view his page source code for that page? Any tidbits in there? Curious minds want to know.
- dMullins0
Man, if Joe Stack knew that his hosting company removed his post because of an FBI request, he'd kill himself twice-over.
- dMullins0
@ghandolf: I viewed source. It was just HTML and CSS from a CMS system. Nothing special at all.
- ghandolf0
Well I noticed he titled that page,
"Well Mr. Big Brother IRS man... take my pound of flesh and sleep well."Just seemed like he may have hidden other messages in the code.
Thanks dMullins!- You have to play his album backwards for that.harlequino
