Joseph Stack's Daughter Considers Her Dad a Hero
(Feb. 22) -- The daughter of Joseph Stack, who flew a small plane into a federal building in Austin to protest the IRS on Thursday, answered "Yes" on "Good Morning America" when asked if her father was a hero, saying "now maybe people will listen."
Samantha Bell, Stack's 38-year-old daughter from his first marriage, told "Good Morning America" that her father's suicide mission was "wrong" but said she agrees with his anti-government message.
"I think too many people lay around and wait for things to happen, but if nobody comes out and speaks up on behalf of injustice then nothing will ever be accomplished," Bell said.
Before he allegedly set his house on fire, loaded his small airplane with an extra gas tank and flew it into a building that housed IRS offices, killing IRS employee Vernon Hunter and himself, Stack posted a ranting anti-government manifesto online."The father I knew was a loving, caring, devoted man who cherished every moment with me and my three children, his grandchildren," she said. "This man who did this was not my father."

There are people all over the country with nothing left after working most of their lives. Who do they decide to kill? This was not the act of any kind of hero, no matter what his daughter thinks because he didn't think about her or anyone else when he decided to do this. He thought only about himself.
ReplyDeleteShe must be trying to find whatever excuse she can to deal with this but the fact is, no one else mattered to him than him.
