You know, after going back and reading this guys suicide "manifesto" or whatever, I realize that this guy had a legitimate gripe with government and the corruption, fraud and all of the swamplike wheelings and dealings that go on. Why did he kill randomly? Why didn't he have a definite target of a money and greed bloated CEO? No, I'm not defending or condoning cold blooded murder, but didn't he realize that taking out a random innocent person would only make him look stupid and nuts? His ultimate victim totally negated his passionate hate for "the system". Michael Moore has the same gripes with same slime bags that this guy had, but Moore uses a camera and confronts the culprits eye to eye. You might not be a Michael Moore fan, but one has to admit that Moore gets a lot more attention than this guy will ever get as this story will fade within weeks and nothing will have been accomplished but an innocent man being tragically taken from his family.

Are you serious? Blame the victim because he was probably a loser anyway? I think you forgot to add he was a tad darker than the good ol-boy martyr. I'm not sure this thread can sink any lower than disrespecting the innocent victim.

RIP Vernon Hunter.

BRAVO!!!!! This thread has really reached some pretty low levels.

The man was working for a living just like the rest of us and here this selfish, low life makes the decision that Mr. Hunters was not worthy of life anymore all because he boo freakin hoo had issues with the IRS. Sicking absolutely sicking.

After hearing Steve King's idiotic comments on this (which is nothing new for the Republican Congressman from Iowa) this stuff really doesn't surprise me anymore, and that is really sad. It seems like the crazies are having a contest on who can out bats*** crazy the other. Its disturbing on so many levels.

And let's not forget about the 13 others who were injured and the workplace that probably hundreds can't go back to because of the smoke and structural damage.

Here is American the Consent Withdrawn applauds MURDERING: Vernon Hunter, who served the United States for 20 yrs in the military before working for the government for another 27. He also volunteered as an usher, counseled in the marriage ministry, and gave time to the food pantry. Isn't this something we should all celebrate? The murder of a dynamic, hard working American who made the most out of his life. Traitors to this country like Consent Withdrawn and Summers73 should be so proud of themselves, pat yourselves on the back! You deserve it.

Again, think what the OP and Summers are saying: That this man below, a hard working American who served his country, deserved to die and his killer is the hero. Consent Withdrawn felt so strongly about it, that he/she/it actually started a thread to praise the murderer. This is sick, twisted, anti-American and effin pathetic. Nothing but a couple of cowards behind a keyboard!

Are you trying to make me cry?

Make another effort like this and you might succeed.

The British didn't have a lot of nice things to say about the Colonists as we struggled to loose ourselves from King George's yoke, but preserving the rights of the people is always a noble cause though some may not see it that way. Did Stack go too far? Well of course he did, but when I see commercials all the time on TV for law firms that do nothing but represent tax payers in disputes with the IRS, the state has gone too far as well. Can you think of any other agency that requires citizens to hire lawyers to defend themselves from the power of the state or causes this sort of duress to people who simply wish to left alone?
