Came up on another board.

(CNN) -- The man believed to be holding at least one hostage at the Discovery Channel headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, has been identified as James Lee, a law enforcement source tells CNN.
Lee 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.

Seems like he's protesting the wrong cable channel.

Holy shit... check out the list of demands.
http://www.businessinsider.com/discovery-channel-hostage-taker-demands-2010-9
Some gems at the end, too:
For every human born, ACRES of wildlife forests must be turned into farmland in order to feed that new addition over the course of 60 to 100 YEARS of that new human's lifespan! THIS IS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE FOREST CREATURES!!!! All human procreation and farming must cease!
It is the responsiblity of everyone to preserve the planet they live on by not breeding any more children who will continue their filthy practices. Children represent FUTURE catastrophic pollution whereas their parents are current pollution. NO MORE BABIES! Population growth is a real crisis. Even one child born in the US will use 30 to a thousand times more resources than a Third World child. It's like a couple are having 30 babies even though it's just one! If the US goes in this direction maybe other countries will too!

The armed mentally ill man that has taken hostages has unreasonable demands you say?That... but this bit from the previous businessinsider link:
Saving the environment and the remaning species diversity of the planet is now your mindset. Nothing is more important than saving them. The Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels.
The humans? The planet does not need humans.
Really has me chuckling.

Yes. The squirrels are fine. But it's so hot in silver springs I just saw one of them trying to freeze his nuts.

Which, granted, isn't outside the realm of possibility.

Surprised nobody mentioned that nutcase was a big Al Gore freak.Yep, and "Catcher in the Rye" is to blame for the death of John Lennon.
That's what Mel Gibson said...
I'm waiting to see how this nutjob is spun into a "right wing nutjob". Because all nutjobs are right wing. Always.
