At first I thought it was just witless hubris but as you can see, some folks here are going out of their way to to show solidarity with this klown and his evil deeds.
I think your scenario #1 will prove to be the more accurate one. This bozo didn’t want to pay his taxes and spent most of his adult life banging his head against the wall in a quixotic quest to avoid them. Nobody likes paying the taxman, and I daresay most of us have gotten stung by them - I know that I certainly have - but my point in all of this is that FReepers don’t advocate violence against government agencies (unless I’ve missed the bulletin). I’m not a jihadist and I don’t wish to associate with them.
We work to drive the fascists out through legitimate means - not violent anarchy.
I too do not wish to associate with people who would promote violence on innocents. This can never be justified, at least by rationally thinking people.
By the way, I was going to suggest for them to find a dance partner at stormfront. LOL.
