Small Plane Crashes into Office Building in Austin, Texas

Check the bottom. Definitely sides with communists.

Already did. Matt is confirming.

Joe is a loser...a sad, sad loser, unable to face the rules and I’m thinking he was a bit mentally ill.

If Jim Robinson thinks I went to far, then I will apologize, gladly.

The offending post was pulled. That amounts to "Jim Robinson thinks you went too far".

I have to ask...how did you find that?

That is some good hunting.

Yep. He was a Commie.

DU is insinuating he is a Libertarian on a thread entitled...{drum roll}..."Please - DO NOT POLITICIZE THE PLANE CRASH".

Good ole days is right! Now they are saying the Airplane was HIS.

BTW, in that suicide letter he mentions owing money on a Piano..then goes on to say "Except that he had neglected to include the contents of Sheryl’s unreported income; $12,700 worth of it."

I think his wife Sheryl was a musician and played the piano, FWIW.

This thread is one for the record books. Freepers are absolutely the BEST and fastest reseachers anywhere.

You did better work in 10 minutes than 1000 reporters.

Hey guys, I’m here in Austin, and have more information, not sure if this has been posted yet. I was listening to the local radio show and they said that they got a call at the top of the 11am hour from a woman who said she thought it was her sister’s husband. Apparently, he had burned down their house that morning in North Austin and owned a plane just like the one that flew into the building. His car was left at the Round Rock airstrip where the plane was kept and the plane was missing. Over the next hour details came in confirming a house fire in North Austin, and the FAA confirmed the plane departed from Georgetown (ie. Round Rock airstrip). Some recent info has said that this man was apparently disgruntled at the IRS which has an office in the building that was hit. Sounds like a suicide attack. Will keep ya posted.

Exactly my take on it. Big fat loser, and an ignorant, evil, spoiled brat as well.

Have not read through this thread, but what kind of man would literally burn his family out of their home before doing something like this? Deranged, for sure. No love for anyone!

Does Stack have a security clearence?

Excellent job!

We are way ahead of you.

We have his suicide note.

Bmk

It sounds like he was one of the 80’s tax protesters, who got in a ton of trouble.

Typical Austin Lib/moveon.org nutcase!
