Crazy. I work just about 8 miles south of the building that he targeted. I'll be driving within a mile or so of it on the way home. Very curious to see how this gets spun. It's hard to say based on his "manifesto" exactly how much of his tax woes were based in honest misunderstanding versus his intentionally trying to game the system as best as he could, but I can't say that I disagree with what seems to be his overall assessment of a system that will bend over backwards to throw money at the "too big to fail" crowd when they do their damnedest to fail anyway, but have an entirely different type of bending over in mind for those who are small enough to fail.
I do, however, have a serious problem with the way in which he ultimately decided to register his dissatisfaction. Whatever the eventual outcome of this sad situation, I think it's a safe bet that it won't be sweeping tax-code reform. Much more likely is that he's just provided another brush that can be used to paint those with legitimate complaints against the tax system as potentially dangerous lunatics.
Also, don't think I've seen anyone else comment on this aspect of it all, but that NY Daily News article that Jack posted earlier seems to imply that he set fire to his house with his wife and kid still inside, which adds an entirely new level of fucked-upedness to the tale.
