Tragedy in Austin - Suicide attack on IRS Building

13 injured. Two dead were pulled from the building, one presumably the pilot, another presumed to be a victim of the attack. With approximately 190 IRS employees who work there, it's amazing that there weren't more victims.

The suspected suicide pilot was Andrew Joseph Stack, a computer software engineer who posted an anti-IRS tirade on a website before setting his house on fire and flying a plane into an IRS building.

I express sympathy towards the victims of this senseless attack. Violence against civilian government workers, no matter what the political ideology, is wrong.

While I will say it is wrong chairo! He was trying to send a message to the government or for all we know someone inside the government forced this man to kill himself.

Even though what he did was horrible.. even after death the government is trying to silence him! and taking away his freedom of speech. So in my opinion they made it far worse and now more are probably going to happen as a #*$($! result.

This is just the begenning!

Surely it's not about censorship, more about the investigation into what happened... if you start looking too closely for "conspiracies" you'll always turn up something that looks like one.

That plane crash happened just a few miles away from where I live... right across the street from Best Buy.

How much ash and smoke was thrown in the air? Maybe you can sue the Feds and get a payout for smoke inhalation. Did emergency services contact you and escort you away? Or not. I pay enough taxes already.

That's what I love/hate about the US. Everybody is always looking out for a way to sue someone.

I don't drive home from work that way, and really didn't watch it on the news, so couldn't tell ya. At the time it was going on, I had no idea the guy actually did it on purpose. I thought it was just an accident.
