Did you guys read his manifesto? Dude's an Eco-terrorist :lol

James Lee, the man suspected of taking a hostage at the Discovery Channel headquarters, is an environmental protester who has been publishing criticisms of the network, according to a senior law enforcement official close to the investigation.

An angry manifesto posted on a website called SaveThePlanetProtest.com repeatedly refers to humans as "filth" and demands that the Discovery Channel
"stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants."

"Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is," the 1,149-word statement says.

"Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and are wrecking what's left of the planet with their false morals and breeding culture," it continues.

Lee also blasts immigration, farming, weapons of mass destruction, automotive pollution, "and the whole blasted human economy."

He demands that the Discovery Channel broadcast daily prime-time shows devoted to "solutions to save the planet," perhaps in a game-show format, insisting "Make it interesting so people watch and apply solutions!!!!"

Many of Lee's comments are directed at "the media," saying "You can reach enough people. It's your responsibility because you reach so many minds!!!"

"The world needs TV shows that DEVELOP solutions to the problems that humans are causing, not stupify the people into destroying the world. Not
encouraging them to breed more environmentally harmful humans," the manifesto says.

"These are the demands and sayings of Lee," the manifesto concludes.

These guys are total loon bags.

Man, I hope no one is hurt.

[themadcowtipper]

Fox were just reading his MySpace page. He sounds completely normal on that - likes the Simpsons, Family Guy, Star Wars etc.

We should have seen the signs earlier, that this guy was going to snap.

 

[xbhaskarx]

He got the immigration part accurate though.

A lot of hardcore environmentalists are anti-immigration because people in the developed world consume like 30x more resources than people in developing countries.

To counteract the repeated posting of the dude's whackjobness:

aw, fuck

 

[FunkyMunkey]

I have a feeling SWAT is going to bust some movie-quality ninja stuff(surprise vent attack) and hopefully end it without any deaths.

And why attack Discovery? I admit they capitalize on some semi-hypocritical things (futureweapons and then whale wars?), but the overall message of the network seems to be good spirited and positive.

Also, I bet Fox News is going to spin this out of the galaxy. I expect asinine and wide generalizations of the Left, environmentalists, and pacifists alike.

He is Captain Planet.

Situation still ongoing.

 

[Joel Was Right]

It's kind of sad that someone who cares for the environment this much, a few years later after deciding to act after watching Inconvenient Truth and reading the book, that it can lead to a hostage situation where people's lives are at stake. Very sad

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

[JoeBoy101]

Nope, hostage situation. Only a small handful, but the guy might have explosives.

I hate to side with a lunatic, but I don't care much for all the shows where that familes are so insane. Like the Duggars, Jon and Kate Plus 8, etc. I dunno that it's promoting procreations per se, if anything, Jon and Kate pretty much did more to prevent Asian men from getting a chance to procreate since Long Duk Dong.

 

[McNei1y]

I live literally 2 minutes away from Downtown Silver Spring and this area sucks right now! I can't even get me a Qdoba burrito! Thanks alot you crazy asshole.

Its poor programming, for sure, but are they really hurting anyone or anything, aside from the participants? I mean, why focus on Discovery channel then, where there are more richer targets around (though, albeit, might be tougher physically).

Anyways, this is from MSNBC:

At the time of his conviction in March 2008, Lee was identified as being from San Diego. Court records said he was arrested Feb. 21, 2008, on the sixth day of a protest at the Discovery building. Police were called when a crowd that had gathered began growing “unruly” as Lee threw thousands of dollars of cash into the air, some of it still in shrink-wrapped packages, police said at the time. (Lee was found not guilty of littering.)

Lee said he experienced an ‘‘awakening” when he watched former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental documentary ‘‘An Inconvenient Truth.”

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

He was protesting The Discovery Channel?


...really?
