But Joseph Stack cannot be branded as a member of the right. Stack was neither a teapartier nor right-winger. And he was more than just a loon who attempted to avoid paying income taxes. Although incoherent and underdeveloped, his rants are decidedly left-wing and his manifesto, or at least parts of it, are very similar to diaries at the Daily Kos.

Fair enough; however given the above...

I would be highly interested if there was enough remaining of the late Mister Stack sufficient for an autopsy.

A tox screen that might show drug residues (both legal and/or illegal), and also whether he might have had a brain tumor or some sort of encephalopathy that could cause him to be irrational and energized.

Regarding the drug potential, recall that Adolph Hitler was a speed freak. If at all possible, drug use or some other brain condition should be evaluated and eliminated as possibilities before too much is made of political affiliations.

No doubt this guy has an internet trail. As I always ask about these nutters when they do themselves in, “What was his Kos avatar?”

Supposedly Stack initiated his manifesto month’s ago. As to whether it represents a detoriating mind, or if he happened to have moments of extreme angst when he contributed more content to it between times of lucidity, I can’t say. But it would be interesting to know more physiological details. You make a very good point.

Did you not read his postings on his blog? He was a communist nut job, he didn’t need drugs or a brain tumor, he was certifiable without them.
