I feel for the guy and those close to him....seems he had a resentment going and didn't talk to anybody about it. Pretty drastic behavior to make a statement.
Between my wife and I, we're in the 30%+ tax category, and while it sucks to write that check, never really thought about taking anybody out.

Not that bad in terms of cash I guess but I don't know what the rest referred to. Maybe he just went bonkers. |

Thing is, there are many others out there going through the same things he endured...only difference is that they don't see violence as the only answer. http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/im...ack.letter.pdf

Quote:
Should the people come to the conclusion that The Government is in fact a felon - should there be no enforcement at the state level, no real move to "take back" authority vested in The Constitution, returning it to the states and to rein in the crooks, subjecting them to the just desserts for their crimes, there is a very real risk that The People will decide that there is only one way to obtain justice: through the actions of their own hand.
Lest you think this is an unrealistic view, I direct you to Mexico, where the police have become so corrupt that the people are now catching burglars and torturing them on their own. Vigilante justice is swift, certain, and brutal.
But it is the logical and expected outcome when the people reach the breaking point. Those who believe it "can't happen here" are deluded - it both can and will if our government does not stop condoning and in fact conspiring with the crooks that have robbed the people of this nation. | |
