Forensic psychologist Dr. Paul Mattiuzzi, who also studied Unabomber Ted Kaczinski's manifesto, says Joseph Stack thought of himself as self-righteous, correct in thought and that everyone *else was corrupt and wrong.
So how does he compare to the Unabomber?
"...What's different. It's not clinically what we would describe as crazy. It's just angry, hostile, resentful, narcissistic, and grandiose," Dr. Mattiuzzi said.
Stack was angry about losing his job, losing his wife. And angry at the government. None of it, his fault.
"What you see from his writing, is that he's a person who failed in a number of ways in life, and he tends to blame other people for that," the doctor said. "I think for him, this is the way of achieving a sense of power and fulfillment that he could not find in life."
"... he talks about an act of violence. And what he's saying is, that this is a blow against the government. He wants other people to rise up and this is the only way to affect change in America," the doctor added. "He is calling for revolution in the country. He's saying basically, at the end, this is an act... I'm engaging in an act of terrorism."
