I have no problem with him committing suicide........but I DO have a problem with him attempting to take innocent people including his wife and daughter with him. F*cking coward.
Yup, clearly he was a douchebag.

Why would he own a plane if he owed $40k to the IRS? What a dummy.
He stole the plane
WHA?!?!?!
I actually had something in my response about how impressive it would be to actually steal a plane. BUt then I thought "Nah, couldn't be possible". WTF?
When I read the article an hour or two ago, I was looking for anything that mentioned that he owned the plane, and there wasn't anything to that effect.

He also talks about going to "tax code" readings at a friend's house.
Wait....you don't do that sort of thing with your lawyer buddies? How in god's name do you keep up with your profession?
We have monthly meetings but I go because I get paid to. This guy apparently went for "fun."
And keeping up with the profession is pretty easy. The core of the tax code hasn't changed since 1986. Obama's first budget proposal would have changed it dramatically, but he's since backed down (as expected).
Plus my firm pays people to keep on top of the changes and brief us (the practicing attorneys) when necessary. Its like cliff notes for geeks. The benefits of a humungous firm.

From reading the suicide note, it's clear the man was equal opportunity regarding whom he was angry at. He complains about income taxes, the IRS, the Federal Gov't in general, politicians in general, individual politicians from both the Republican (GW Bush) and Democratic (Sen. Moynihan) parties, labor unions, the Catholic Church, organized religion in general, the bailouts, the health care system, and a world he felt slighted him his entire life. What a sad, sad, man. I pray there were no fatalities other than his own.

Yeah - i got that feeling also. They guy doesn't appear to be a Tea Bagger as was previously mentioned. Just a disturbed guy who felt slighted by everyone and anyone who he ever dealt with.
Welcome to the board BTW. I can't say I'm happy to have another Stony Brook fan on here, but I guess I can live with it.

The thing that sticks out from the note is the sheer blind rage the man simply seems to have about everything and everyone. It's a trait that is certainly not limited to adherers of any one political belief. I've seen that irrational anger up closer before, from both far right Teabaggers and enviro-lefties I've known.
Ruh Roh....I guess now Napolitano will not have to keep an extra close eye on left-wing groups as well (read the bold text at the end of his note). And we'll have to expand the DHS budget by $5 billion at least.
He railed against politicians, the Catholic Church, the "unthinkable atrocities" committed by big business, and the government bailouts that followed. He said he slowly came to the conclusion that "violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer."
Somebody call D1B and make sure he's still with us.

Uh, did YOU read the note? The man was anti-tax, anti-government, anti-union, anti-religion. He was all over the place politically. The last line seemed like something he thought was clever ("I changed the word "need" into "greed", I'm such a f****** brilliant misunderstood genius!") rather than a declaration he was a commie. If there was one thing you could say definitively about the guy, it's that he despised the system as it currently existed, and blamed it for his failures in life.
