Hound, although I agree he was disturbed there is a big difference between not getting tenure and the immense impact the IRS can have on a person that runs afoul of them.

On the one hand, the person that is denied tenure can certainly go elsewhere and pursue tenure or she could simply stay on as a professor without tenure and teach or do research. Not a lifetime appointment but not the end of the world.

As for the IRS, they can garnish your wages, take your possessions, freeze your bank accounts and make your life miserable in so many other ways, all at the point of a gun. The IRS can give people in their crosshairs an incredible feeling of helplessness and despair, even for those not disturbed.

His was mostly an act of immense desperation in which he tried to take others with him. She wasn't looking to end her misery but instead looked to take it out on others. What worries me more is the copycats out there that are likewise at the end of their rope dealing with the IRS. Expect more of these types of things as the economy continues to struggle and the federal government becomes more enforcement oriented with regard to taxes.
