narcissist. Read his letter and count how many times he uses the word "I". He didn't fight the system, he tried to beat the system and got caught.

okay i will go out on a limb and say patriotic idiot. he had some statements that i agree with but his attempt was completely wrong. history will say idoit depending on what this country does over the next 50 years, or patriot if the country goes the other way. heck for history to say patriot it would have a very narrow path that it would need to follow and i dont see that happening.

Because you disagree with the government does not mean you can take matters in to your own hands. You change the government at the voting booth. Not this way. This guy is a domestic terrorist.

I remember many years ago when I took the oath to join the Army.

(I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.)

Whether or not I agree with my neighbors politics, I took an oath to defend America from nut jobs like this guy and I would do so today.

i agree bubb, he does fit the description of a terrorist. but as sneade said the british would would have said george washington was a terrorist. as i said its what direction history goes.

would i try to stop another joe stack, yes i would, would i demand he got his day in court after i stopped him yes i would. would i listen to what he has to say with an open mind yes i would, does that change what he did... no it was wrong

+1.

This guy was a freakin' idiot. How these clowns could possibly differentiate what he did from 9/11 is ludicrous.

From what I have read today, he's not really anything but a whack job. I suspect the only reason for speculation is because of the target, not his motivation.
