His daughter lives in Norway? I thought he burned his house down with his family inside.
Daughter from his first wife.
What do the family members he tried to kill have to say about him?
Well he did kill one person, Vernon Hunter, an IRS employee and Vietnam veteran.
Authorities say Stack, 53, targeted the IRS office building in Austin on Thursday, killing employee Vernon Hunter and himself, after posting a ranting manifesto against the agency and the government. He apparently set fire to his home before flying his plane into the office building.
Hunter's son, Ken Hunter, said he's alarmed by comments that the pilot was a hero.
"How can you call someone a hero who after he burns down his house, he gets into his plane ... and flies it into a building to kill people?" Hunter told ABC." "My dad Vernon did two tours of duty in Vietnam. My dad's a hero."
It doesn't to Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo, who instead sees an isolated, criminal attack carried out by a lone individual. He said branding the crash as terrorism so soon after the plane's impact could have provoked unnecessary panic and prompted residents of Austin and beyond to erroneously conclude that other attacks might be imminent.
"I did not want to use it because I didn't want people that have children in school and loved ones at work to be panicking, thinking that, 'Oh my God, is there going to be 10 more little planes around the country crashing into buildings?'" Acevedo said. "I knew that this appeared to be one guy in one city in one event."
This action may potentially cause terror. Therefore, we should not call it terrorism.

Seems reasonable to me. He was trying to avoid mass panic, because the act was, in his estimation, the result of an individual and not part of a series of bombings/attacks.

I'm not sure if you are agreeing with me or not. If you are being subtle it's so subtle you've lost me.
Public officials lying - which is what claiming this isn't terrorism is - because they are worried how the public might react would be a bad thing. And claiming that they can't call this terrorism because there would be a public panic is geesery. Many people called the Fort Hood shootingterrorism and there were no riots. Flying a fucking plane into a government building for political reasons is terrorism.

In this case though, I believe it is the inclusion of his political beliefs in choosing his targets that swings this in the "terrorism" field. He martyred himself by attacking his sworn political enemy with the hopes that his actions would bring attention and sympathy.
Having said all of that, it's typical of the current Faux Populist movement for a man who has enough money to own a private aircraft and a nice home to feel like he's somehow being oppressed by THE MAN.

Yes its just a coincidence that he wrote a political manifesto announcing his intention to attack the government and flew the plane into a government building. Only willful ignorance could lead to the conclusion that this doesn't constitute terrorism.
Governmental abuses using the excuse of terrorism doesn't mean a) terrorism doesn't exist or b) there isn't a threat to public safety or people's lives from terrorism, foreign or domestic.
Nothing changes unless there is a body count (unless it is in the interest of the wealthy sows at the government trough). In a government full of hypocrites from top to bottom, life is as cheap as their lies and their self-serving laws.
I know I’m hardly the first one to decide I have had all I can stand. It has always been a myth that people have stopped dying for their freedom in this country, and it isn’t limited to the blacks, and poor immigrants. I know there have been countless before me and there are sure to be as many after. But I also know that by not adding my body to the count, I insure nothing will change. I choose to not keep looking over my shoulder at “big brother” while he strips my carcass, I choose not to ignore what is going on all around me, I choose not to pretend that business as usual won’t continue; I have just had enough.
I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white washed and ignored that the American zombies wake up and revolt; it will take nothing less. I would only hope that by striking a nerve that stimulates the inevitable double standard, knee-jerk government reaction that results in more stupid draconian restrictions people wake up and begin to see the pompous political thugs and their mindless minions for what they are. Sadly, though I spent my entire life trying to believe it wasn’t so, but violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer. The cruel joke is that the really big chunks of shit at the top have known this all along and have been laughing, at and using this awareness against, fools like me all along.
I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let’s try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well.
The communist creed: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.
So knowing nothing about anything I just filed my taxes and discovered, I can't get the hope tax credit because, being a tax credit, its only applicable if I make enough to have $1000 or more withheld?
I mean, what the crap, I'm too poor to get this particular student aid thing? That seems counterintuitive.
I can empathize with this guy's anger in some regards
I made a grand amount of 16k last year. However, 8k (half of what I made) was merely a write-off on tuition. Therefore, I really only made 8k, but the system counts tuition credits as part of income (lol?). Since I made 16k, I also can not get the lifetime learning credit tax or any other school applicable tax credit.
Furthermore, I actually owed the state near $500 dollars, and the federal gov. gave me back 600 of my dollars, leaving me with a whopping 100$! That's sure better than nothing, but god damn who are these tax credits for? Breeders?
I know the guy was crazy and all but I'm really confused by his Manifesto's last statement:
The communist creed: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.
So was he in favor of Communism? If so, did he realize that his fancy airplane wouldn't have really been his under that type of goverment? Or am I just reading too much into this tripe?

Normally I'd say yes, but given that we've technically spent the last 7 or so years in CODE ORANGE I don't think people react that way anymore. Remember the months following September 11? There was a different "credible" prediction for the apocalypse every week. And yet nobody really panicked. For the most part, everyone adapts and adjusts their lives. Just look at the British (IRA, etc).
At the very least I think people just want some consistency with the word's usage. Why is this terrorism but that is not?

Most of the men's gripes revolve around policies that began under President Bush but didn't scare them so much at the time. "Too many conservatives relied on Bush's character and didn't pay attention," founder Rhodes told me. "Only now, with Obama, do they worry and see what has been done. I trusted Bush to only go after the terrorists. But what do you think can happen down the road when they say, 'I think you are a threat to the nation?'"
In Pray's estimate, it might not be long (months, perhaps a year) before President Obama finds some pretext—a pandemic, a natural disaster, a terror attack—to impose martial law, ban interstate travel, and begin detaining citizens en masse. One of his fellow Oath Keepers, a former infantryman, advised me to prepare a "bug out" bag with 39 items including gas masks, ammo, and water purification tablets, so that I'd be ready to go "when the shit hits the fan."

Now Pray is both a Birther and a Truther. He believes he is following an illegitimate, foreign-born president in a war on terror launched by a government plot—9/11... He spends idle hours at the now-quiet base researching the New World Order and conspiracies about swine flu quarantine camps—and doing his best to "wake up" other soldiers.
Unlike his friend, he doesn't think the United Nations must be dismantled, although he does agree that it represents the New World Order, and he suspects that concentration camps are being readied in the off-limits section of Fort Drum. He sends 500 rounds of ammunition home to Idaho each month.
From the podium, ex-sheriff Mack told the crowd that he wished he'd been the officer ordered to escort Rosa Parks off the bus, because not only would he have refused, he would have helped her home and stood guard there. These days, he said, it's not African Americans who are under attack, but Christians, constitutionalists, and people who uphold family values: This time "it's going to be Rosa Parks the gun owner, Rosa Parks the tax evader, or Rosa Parks the home-schooler."
The scary part is that presumably some of these people are the ones that protect us here, and protect our interests "over there".

The daughter of the man who allegedly flew a plane into an IRS building in Austin, killing one person and injuring a dozen others, says her father is a hero because he stood up to the system.
"I think too many people lay around and wait for things to happen. But if nobody comes out and speaks up on behalf of injustice, then nothing will ever be accomplished," Samantha Bell told Good Morning America.
But Bell also called her father Joe Stack's alleged attack in Austin Friday "wrong" and "inappropriate," saying that "freedom of speech" would have been a more effective. Bell, 38, lives in Norway.
