While my initial thought was that this is an act of terrorism, I've backed off on that. Stack's manifesto and past actions suggest an obsessive personality guided but ideology. His actions in burning down his house with wife and child inside, then targeting a building that housed (according to Google Maps' result for 9430 Research Blvd in Austin) not only IRS offices, but the offices of over 60 additional unrelated businesses suggest the mental snap of a spree killer/mass murderer (which are manifestations of the same psychological phenomenon,) not the cold-blooded, ideology-driven actions of individuals we label as terrorists.
