4. plain and simple--this guy was a cowardly terrorist and he committed at terroristic act. Period.

just because he's a white guy, he's just "emotionally distressed"? Then he should have gone to therapy if his fragile mind couldn't wrap itself around paying the taxes he owed.

This guy made a series of disasterous decisions over the course of years which caused him to be where he was. The government didn't force him to start two businesses and then not pay his taxes. HE CHOSE not to pay his taxes.

Everyone who works in this country pays taxes. Period. Roads don't pave themselves for free. Police don't work for free. Firefighters don't work for free. The trash doesn't get picked up for free. They are paid through the taxes collected and for those services, I don't mind paying my fair share. What I do mind is paying for those those who arbitrarily decide that for whatever boneheaded concocted reasoning they have, they feel they are above the law and do not have to pay their share. Well, guess what? The firefighters who showed up at his burning home at the same time his widow and daughter showed up? Paid by tax dollars. I'm sure his neighbors are glad that the firefighters showed up and contained the fire before it spread to their homes.

And to top it all off, the coward left his widow and daughter homeless to face the deluge of scrutiny from media and law enforcement. What a "man".

5. He's not a frickin' terrorist. He's a guy who got his revenge by killing himself and trying.

to kill some IRS employees as an added bonus.
