no act of terrorism is heroic, just criminal. but at the same time, the acts of the federal agencies that murder and cannot be or wont be prosecuted for their crimes are just as criminal.
Again we the people put the governement into place we can change it. It is our own fault because we keep voting in corrupt politicians. You can not blame the government when we the people gave them the power.

Yes and no. We vote for individuals, that's true. But we don't vote on every single bill that gets passed into law. And how often does a politician say they will do something if they get elected and then for whatever reason, they don't follow through? The fact is, every politician, no matter how good their intentions are at the outset, will either become corrupted or will be made ineffective because they won't play ball. The system is so broken that repairing it is out of the question; it should be dismantled.
What some view as cowardice, others see as martyrdom.
I think he got the public's attention.
Yeah, a nude person walking into a bank get's the public's attention.
Martyrdom is about being persecuted. Suicide doesn't make you a martyr.
This guy, whatever his issues, in his diatribe shows a history of not owning his actions. And that is not the attitude of a patriot or of someone practicing civil disobedience. You need to look for better heroes.
So a disgruntled azzhole decides the best way to air his grievance is to kill innocent people.
This lunatic didn't strive to murder any IRS big shots, he was satisfied to perform the cowardly act of killing an average working American; who by all accounts contributed more to this society than this nut job ever did!!!
Crash victim's son: 'My dad would have helped him'
"..Loved ones shared more stories of Hunter's life — he was an usher at his church and a fan of Rudy's barbecue and talked of another career after retirement.."
"..Ken Hunter said his father, who had three children, three stepchildren and seven grandchildren, retired in El Paso after more than 20 years in the military. He worked as a substitute teacher before the IRS recruited him.."
"..They had discussed Vernon Hunter going to school to learn how to help children with learning disabilities like the one a granddaughter has.
So here was a man whose entire life was spent helping other people, and some people on this board and society offer praise for his killer??!!
I'm sorry but these anarchist, birthers, nationalist, tea partiers, etc who screech out this anti-government non-sense and who advocate this type of domestic terrorism should assume some of the responsibility of an innocent man's death!!
My question is, why didn't this guy RUN when he saw the plane barreling towards his building? I'm sure he heard it as did others who ran...

I agree but part of voting someone in is making sure they represent your principles and that they follow through on them and if they don't get rid of them. I agree that our system is broken but again it comes down to the people we keep voting along party lines and for the parties that we have instead of voting for what would be best for the nation.
This still does not make it ok to kill innocent people.
Why all of a sudden this guy did an "Act of Terrorism" ??
Do you people even know what Terrorism is? if so, it's not Stack.
Stack wasn't trying to force his ideals upon anyone, AS A TERRORIST DOES. Stack was just a regular guy fed up with the International Revenue Scammers aka IRS.
What don't you gossipers understand about that?
If you really want to speculate on 'terrorism" and it's true definition, you need only look no further than the criminals in Washington DC. a TRUE,yet subtle, Terrorist Organization.

Terrorism, the threat or use of violence, often against the civilian population, to achieve political or social ends, to intimidate opponents, or to publicize grievances.
By definition, yes, he was a terrorist.
