Joe Stark, what happens when a citizen breaks instead of bending.

I do not condone what Joe Stack did, but I do understand it. In the same way that I could not condone the homicidal actions of Klebold and Harris, I did understand them. Not everyone is a willow tree that can bend with the storm. Some of us are more likely to break than bend. You can call Joe Stack a coward, but at least he had the conviction to fly the plane into the building himself. The people I would call the cowards are the nameless, faceless, countless bureaucrats that sit in their government offices day after day issuing little pieces of paper that destroy people’s lives with no possible damage to themselves. Well, no damage until someone like Joe Stark breaks and thinks he has nothing left to lose.

My point is, if you truly believe that Joe Stark was a coward and you cannot understand what he did then you are entitled to your opinion. However, if you are engaging in damage control by denouncing a man that fought back against a government that no longer fears its citizens; you are doing no one a favor. I say this because you are not going to soften up the statists attitude toward liberty activists by being tough on someone they broke. The people that count are the people who are mad as hell about our current state of government and while they will not condone Joe Stark’s actions, they also understand them. Take times like this to direct their anger in the constructive direction you want them to instead of blaming a victim of statist violence for breaking and fighting back with violence.
