Another nut with an axe to grind?

[crokett]

That is really sad. I was following that on the news. I surely hope he did not have a family. If he did, he left them homeless and without a father.

The guy sets his house on fire and then flies his plane into an office building (IRS?). I feel for the victims and his family, nothing for the pilot.

I am sorry sir, you still have to deal with taxes and you can't evade death either.


Earlier, all but two were accounted for, I hope they found the two.

Please don't blame Texas for this, this guy was plain and simply a nut job...

The title of this post wasn't a dig at Texas, it was a reference to the recent post on taxes which mentioned Texas.

There are nut jobs all over the place--WI can claim Ed Gein and Jeffrey Dahmer. I think it is pathetic that some people get so unhinged they do such incredibly destructive things to other people.

I have a hard time generating sympathy for a man who owns a 100k dollar recreational airplane.

It wasn't one of the Marx brothers, or they'd have targeted "Dollas Taxes".

Yeah, except every high-profile crime that occurs in Texas gets its own made-for-TV movie titled "The Texas Cheerleader Cadet Murder" or "Texas Chainsaw-Tower-Sniper Massacre", staring actors in gaudy boots & hats speaking with cheesy Southern accent, or who resemble the hillbillies from "Deliverance".

Or did I miss "The Wisconsin Cheesehead Killings" and "Sheboygan Brat Murders"???

I don't recall the title, but I am pretty sure I recall a made for TV movie about Jeffery Dahmer...

And remember, that is the nutbags in California that are MAKING those movies...

Actually, I can't remember any movies about Texas psychopaths except No Country for Old Men, which isn't based on real life. Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs are both based on Ed Gein, who was born in La Crosse, WI, where I live. There have been many movies based on him and Dahmer.

Seriously, I don't think this act has ANYTHING to do with location. He happened to have a private plane and a nearby IRS building, other than that could have happened anywhere.

I for one am thankful it wasn't an Al Qaeda terrorist job. The implications of that would have been staggering.

So there I was, minding my own business, when an interstate fight breaks out. Guess who gets hit with the flying beer bottle?

Why do you have to pick on Sheboygan? So what if they spend two days out of the year worshipping the Brat, have you ever had a Miesfeld's brat? Johnsonville, those are what they send off to the heathens. The good stuff Sheboyganites save for their own grills.

The funny thing is that both my brother's and my wife love Sheboygan, and both talk about moving there. Of course my brother and I grew up in Sheboygan, we know better. Oh yeah it's a nice pretty little city, but there's evil there.

Dunno. You aren't one of the nutbags are you?

Just because you live in the same state with them doesn't mean you have to claim them...

Mmmmm Bratwurst...

You wanna see a celebration of sausage? Come to Texas for Wurstfest in New Braunfels. A week of Beer, Bratwurst, and Lederhosen on Americans...

Compared to a lot of the other junk brats that are sold, Johnsonville are fairly decent. But they are second rate vienna sausages compared to the likes of Omas Haus brats...
