"It Was 'Inappropriate'"


53 year old Joe Stack was considered a hero for his anti-government views. In the eyes of some, he was more of a hero because he chose to become a martyr by flying his airplane into an IRS building in Austin, Texas last February.

He managed to kill at least two other persons and affect the lives of countless others in the process. In an interview, his daughter, Samantha Bell, called his actions "inappropriate."

According to one dictionary, "inappropriate" means "unsuitable, especially for the particular time, place, or situation."

On one hand, I agree. Flying a plane into a building, damaging property, killing, and threatening the lives of others is, "inappropriate." On the other hand, it is just plain wrong, and yes, it is sinful.

Inappropriate?

What this man did is murder innocent people and destroy property because he was angry with the government.

I hardly call that merely "inappropriate."
