Small Plane Crashes in Austin Tx

[Diva]

I'm watching the news right now.....

Fire is still going on.
The guy they think did this had a beef with the IRS (and they are housed in this building; and have approx 199 employees).
Also, earlier today, neighbors rescued this guy's wife and daughter from their burning house.

Last night, Mr. Steck evidently went balistic because he was having severe IRS issues, and Mrs. Steck took the daughter to a hotel, came back this morning and then the house caught fire.

Mr. Steck is the registered owner of the plane which crashed into the bldg, according to the FAA.

The IRS offices in question are the ones someone might visit when one is trying to work out tax problems with the IRS.

Plane was ~ according to witnesses ~ going full throttle when it hit the bldg. with about 92 gallons of fuel on board, hence the fireball.

There are 2 in the bldg taken to hospitals and 1 unaccounted for, which is a wonderment to me that there aren't MORE as it was at the beginning of the work day when the building would have been heavily occupied.

That's all I have for now.....

Evidently, there is a huge rant (manifesto~6 pages long) on Facebook about tax code, his (Joe Stack) treatment by attorneys and CPAs. It's rambling, the reporter is saying.

They have it on their website. This is our NBC Austin affiliate.

Wow.....it was signed: Joe Stack (1956-2010) 02/18/2010

That was eerie.

There is video from Kain Shinn on Facebook.....don't know if it's on the KXAN.com site.....

I was to late Day. They took the site offline because the FBI said so.

[Diva]

Yeah....just reported here that the FBI has taken it down, and instructed the TV station to take it down, as well.

Anyone care to have it placed in here?

Why can't people get it though their heads....pay your taxes. You cannot out run or out smart the IRS. That's why we have the saying...death and taxes! It just annoys me that people bring this on themselves and then blame everyone else and victimize innocent people. Its just another person who can't take responsibility for their own choices.

Indeed. And the sad thing is, his wife and daughter are left to deal with this mess he has created.

There was a brief statement made by our [not so] illustrious governor.....and maybe I didn't hear correctly, but it ALmost sounded as though he WANTED it to be a terrorist......he was making statements that blew things out of proportion SO much, I wanted to scream "Go listen to your news, man!".

It's interesting because I didn't want it to be one.

I think, however, your Governor wants a reason to point fingers and be able to enforce that "I told you so.."

you all believe every detail put out there by a govt. known to lie,cheat and steal from their people.

also amazing how quickly people will jump on and defend people from other countries taking action against their govt. but when an american does it. its home grown terrorism.

you all need to open your eyes and start looking at whats going on right here in this country. but you won't do that till the govt. can no longer keep you afloat and docile. when shit starts breaking down and you are affected. long as they keep you fat and happy, yup its homegrown terrorism. till you are the one getting fucked over. then you too will become a home grown terrorist.

but you won;t call it that then, then it will be about you and your families survival.

There is nothing.....and I mean NOTHING that can justify what this asswipe did.

You don't, by any chance, own a plane, do you?

Nothing about my family's survival will EVER involve killing innocent people. NOTHING. Sorry, not my way of getting things done.

And nothing you can say will convince me that this guy was a "brave American". He was a C O W A R D

So I guess the only thing left to do is to put my sheep suit on the next time I walk out my door. I don't like to wear it in the house because I'm so fat and happy that the dogs think I'm dinner.

Baaaaaa

I'm done with you. Perhaps it is because this is my hometown. Perhaps it is because it happened minutes from my child's school.

This is not about what the government did or did not do to him. This is about handling it like a grown ass adult and not taking it out on defenseless, innocent people who have a reasonable expectation that they can go to work and not have a plane intentionally rammed into their building.

Fat and happy? Didn't he have a private plane? He sounds pretty fat and happy and white to me.

You, however, are baiting this thread with your nonsense.
