    Intent, I imagine. Terrorism (by my understanding) is an act intended to create fear by suggesting the likelihood of further similar activity. This guy was expressing anger against the government, and certainly wanted his death to spearhead change, but didn't intend to scare the populace into action. He wanted attention to be focused on the circumstances that led up to his desperate act, not the act itself.

    Better IRS than the FBI! I think most people will make more jokes for this.

    oh it will be. The teabaggers will just cite this as an example of the confusing tax code and how inefficient the government is, etc...a large part of the tea party movement is related to some of the conservative-leaning agendas of tax reform.

    ENGRISH isn't the language of the USA. That's my answer to that.

    Listening to talk radio, a lot of sympathizers to this guy...similar to someone beating up a meter maid.

    Ronald Reagan, teabagger hero, is responsible for the bulk of our current tax code.

    Nice that you care. :cheers:

    Yes, our taxes are ridiculously stacked against the common citizen and nearly obliterate any chance for attaining the American Dream. :sigh:

    That said, this chump was clearly a thief who got caught cheating his fellow citizens and then tried to kill innocent citizens so he could get his 15 minutes of infamy.

    If you don't like your country, change it non-violently. There are thousands of peaceful ways to participate in the reform of laws and tax codes.

    Or, if you're too lazy or chickenshit then move to Canada or somewhere else where the citizens get a better ride for their money.

    Fuck this punk, he's not worth the time.

    Talk radio listeners are the absolute bottom of the mental gene pool, but why would they sympathize with someone who beat up a meter maid?

    They're the same ones that if the guy who flew the plane into the IRS offices had had a Hispanic sounding name they'd be complaining about those crazy illegal aliens and they're hatred of our government.

    I honestly find it a bit self-serving that they revere him so much, almost creepy. I'm a fan of Reagan, but the way they go about pimping him as some kind of Jesus is pretty crazy.
