I don't have a problem with him expressing anti-government views online or on paper. I have a big problem with flying an airplane into a building to express them.

I have a problem with a guy writing a 7 page manifesto claiming the IRS have taxed him excessively, yet he can still afford to own and run an aircraft.  Wanker.

He must have been that strange sort of people who believe that - real or imagined - wrongs against them remove them from the obligation to observe the fundamental rules of society. Those people paint themselves in a corner and then lash out blindly. Not that rare either.

Exactly!
I understand the guy who gets fed up with the government or whatever and the frustration of being so powerless drives them to extremes. I get it.
Flying a plane into a building or doing anything to endanger innocent people.........naw, I've got a problem with that.
