I’ll bet the pilot didn’t fare too well... Pilot was first person to arrive at the scene of the crash ...

And what was the last thing to go through his mind before he died? The windshield.

So he wasn’t going to let the IRS have his house or his plane?

This very kind of thing could have been prevented if there had been adequate laws in place, forbidding any person that burns their house down from flying a plane...

Eventually, a lot of people will go "Henry Bowman" and the news will be full of stories like this one.

I, for one, will cheer.

“It just moved from a terrorist attack to an attack on the terrorists.”

That is an excellent play on words!

There will be more regulations to come concerning general aviation.

Great thinking. Now the IRS will just get the proceeds from any insurance he may have had. I'm sure they prefer actual cash to real estate anyway.

Nice plan, sparky. You burned down your family's home, nearly killing them in the process, and now you've probably left them broke to boot.

Short-sighted, selfish jerk.

Never heard of anyone killing themselves by throwing cases of tea into the harbor. Patriots usually aren't that clumsy.

Protesting and committing suicide are two different things, don't you think? (excepting Buddhist monks and jihadi nutters)

Quite right. Let's start a group on Facebook: "We support restricting arsonists from attending flight school."

Joseph Stack is the name and is listed on Zebasearch.
Earlier post said last name was Statt, so my first

If you were going to dive bomb the IRS building, would you file a flight plan? Flight plans are optional for VFR flight. Even if they werent, who is going to spank him now?

When the government fears the people, you have liberty. When the people fear the government, you have tyranny.

yeah the guy didnt have to file a flight plan, all he had to do was get in his plane and notify the tower he was taking off and thats it. Sounds like he burned the house to keep the irs from getting it and decided to shove his plane literally up there ass.

A well controlled crash is technically called a “landing”.

And any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

Your words:

Eventually, a lot of people will go "Henry Bowman" and the news will be full of stories like this one.

I, for one, will cheer.

Why, aren't you special:

The novel's protagonist, Henry Bowman, shows an early proficiency with firearms, practicing whenever he can find the time. Encouraged by his father, he gathers an impressive firearms collection and gains extensive experience in piloting small aircraft. During college, Bowman is robbed, beaten, and sexually assaulted by a rural gang. The incident has a profound effect on his life and causes him to become an alcoholic for a period.

While at a gun show in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, with friend Allen Kane, Bowman publicly embarrasses an agent of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Wilson Blair. One of Blair's men was trying to trick and entrap a fellow firearms dealer. Blair takes the offense personally, and with the support of the ATF's director, begins to plan revenge. Several years later, Blair and subordinate agents of the ATF plan to frame Henry and his friends as terrorists, smugglers, and counterfeiters. They plan to plant "evidence" when the men are away on vacation. Unbeknownst to Blair, Bowman delays his departure and is on a friends' property when the agents arrive. Bowman assumes the men are burglars and engages in a gun battle with them, killing all but Blair before he discovers the truth.

Bowman realizes that his life has been irrevocably changed. He makes Blair record a video taped confession of his illegal actions, then kills Blair and disposes of all forensic evidence of the agents' presence. Afterwards, he hunts down and kills Blair's remaining subordinates. Bowman and his closest friends begin to systematically kill ATF agents around the nation, whom Bowman views as supporting the infringement of citizen's constitutional rights, and abusing government powers. Simultaneously Bowman releases the video tape of Blair to CNN, which claims that Blair and his companions have had a change of heart, realize what they are doing is wrong, and are now dedicated to killing other ATF agents. Amidst the national search for Blair and company, Bowman continues to rack up the body count.

Unintended Consequences
