BREAKING: Gunman holding hostages in Discovery Communications headquarters
A heavily armed gunman entered the Discovery TV building with an explosive device strapped to his body, and is reportedly holding a security guard and possibly more people hostage.
SILVER SPRING, Md. — A gunman with an explosive device strapped to himself has entered the Discovery Communications building in Silver Spring, Md., and may have taken at least one person hostage, police said.
Montgomery County police said there may also be other explosives in the building, but they said they could not confirm reports that one or more shots had been fired.
Law enforcement authorities identified the man as James J. Lee. They told NBC News that he had a long history of protesting at the building. NBC said the man may have posted environmental and population-control demands online.
His demands are bizarre. Expect conservatives and liberals alike to point fingers at each other. Examples below:
5. Immigration: Programs must be developed to find solutions to stopping ALL immigration pollution and the anchor baby filth that follows that. Find solutions to stopping it. Call for people in the world to develop solutions to stop it completely and permanently. Find solutions FOR these countries so they stop sending their breeding populations to the US and the world to seek jobs and therefore breed more unwanted pollution babies. FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO STOP THEIR HUMAN GROWTH AND THE EXPORTATION OF THAT DISGUSTING FILTH! (The first world is feeding the population growth of the Third World and those human families are going to where the food is! They must stop procreating new humans looking for nonexistant jobs!)
6. Find solutions for Global Warming, Automotive pollution, International Trade, factory pollution, and the whole blasted human economy. Find ways so that people don't build more housing pollution which destroys the environment to make way for more human filth! Find solutions so that people stop breeding as well as stopping using Oil in order to REVERSE Global warming and the destruction of the planet!
I'm following the situation on the police scanner with fervent hopes that it ends without death and destruction. More as it's available.
Update The website with Lee's demands is inaccessible right now, but I've uploaded a PDF of the page here.
Update #2: Yes, the weird finger-pointing is already beginning. From Ace of Spades, there's this stupid comment:
Update #3: MSNBC reports that police have shot and killed James Lee.
Bet you he's a lunatic Christian.
If you've read the Quinn books to which he refers in his manifesto, you'll know that he's not.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
Anybody interesting? I saw your link but there seems rather a lot to wade through.
Hasa Diga Eebowai
Sorry for skipping out like that....But, yeah, incredibly interesting stuff. Quinn ties together material from formerly disparate disciplines- history, anthropology, comparative religion, evolutionary biology and sociology, chiefly- and makes some damned good arguments as to why we can't go on living this way.

That may be one of the most deeply misanthropic screeds I've ever read. He has a very definite bias against procreation by everyone else on the planet. Maybe he just needed to get laid. That and a barrel of drugs.

This is a good example of why I hate Green Peace etc as much as I hate ultra conservative facist types. While this guy has some decent initial principles, he goes way off the deep end. He perpetuates the, "humans are different than every other animal on the planet, we disturb the steady state of the planet," falicy that so much of the ultra-environmentalist movement is based upon. This guy is the polar opposite from the guy who flew his plane in to the IRS building.
Oh, and Malthus is pretty much wrong. Birth rates are already below the replacement rate in almost all industrialized countries, and forcasts being made these days predict global population cresting within the century, if memory serves. Wealth brings education, and education tends to reduce birthrates.
that at least some of the founders of Green Peace agree with you about the direction they have taken. And I find no fault with your other facts. Personally I think that once people get a decent cable package they find better things to do with their time than procreate. I have nine siblings and back then we only had three channels.
Hasa Diga Eebowai
I read about at least one of the founders of Green Peace finding reason and jumping ship.
It's not humans, per se, but what Daniel Quinn refers to as Mother Culture- the culture that's risen from late Neolithic Age agricultural practices- that disturbs other life on the planet. There are still a very few tribes out there that still live harmoniously with the planet (mainly in the Amazon rainforest), but Mother Culture will probably assimilate those humans soon, too, as it has been since Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of the Wisdom of the Gods and swept down from the northern portion of the Fertile Crescent. The Semites of the Tigris-Euphrates Delta passed down a cautionary tale that their descendants, the Hebrews, wrote down in the Book of Genesis. That tale has gone unheeded for a very long time.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
But the heavy use of the word filthy in association with humans, particularly children, persuades me otherwise. Furthermore he doesn't seem particularly enamored of turning back the clock to that better time when lives were in fact nasty brutish and short. He seems to be calling for a vague new paradigm that other people are supposed to deliver.
Hasa Diga Eebowai
I wish I could remember how Marx's quote is worded, but I've got a feeling that Daniel Quinn is feeling about the way that Marx did when he said that all those other people who called themselves Marxists didn't get what he was trying to say.

I have been google-ing his name and some call him a radical environmentaltist. It would seem he is a very disturbed person, but environmentalist? Sounds like he's mentally fu*ked up to me, as of now.
I just hope to hell he doesn't harm anyone if he hasn't yet. At least they were able to get all the kids out of the building because this guy sounds like he might have a problem with babies.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
...which marginalizes the mentally ill. His manifesto is rambling and angry, borders on delusional. If we had a support system for people who clearly need mental health services, perhaps he wouldn't be holding people hostage.
He has a history of problems with the discovery channel so someone knew he was troubled. One site was reporting that some time back he was arrested for littering at the discovery channel. I guess he was passing out some sort of information or something.
I agree with you Karoli, this guy was obviously in need of mental health services and a product of our time.

The Discovery Channel has been going downhill for awhile what with the motorcycle mania and glorification of weapons. It's technology, which is something they advertise, but isn't this going a bit too far: http://images02.olx.com/ui/1/00/78/13389278_1...
Jailing is often the only support system for mentally ill still functioning/funded, and I use the term functioning loosely. If he does harm someone, he may finally get some through that channel, though it is such a waste if that happens.
I thought we had such a system: The Tea Party ;-(
a support system for people who clearly need mental health services, perhaps we wouldn't have ended up with people ion our government who managed to launch a war of aggression and institute a policy of torture. Or at least perhaps we'd have people capable of prosecuting those crimes.
He has a history of harassing Discovery TV, and his 'demands' are incredibly bizarre. It's like he took every hot issue on all sides and made them into a manifesto, even if they are at cross-purposes with each other.
that's about it.

Shep Smith was reading something on Fox that sounded like it might have come from this guys manifesto or something. This guy is messed up but this is what you will hear from the likes of Hannity.

mentally ill, but I feel the need to point out that some conservatives magically become tree-hugging enviromentalists when it helps their xenophobia; they want to save the earth when they can blame undocumented immigrants for the earth's problems. So enviromentalism and anti-immigrant hatred aren't always mutually exclusive.
Victor Davis Hansen's screed Mexifornia is one example of this, as is the classic comment I read by a Tancredo supporter at an anti-Tancredo site and went something like, "If we just deport all of the illegals, the global warming will move to Mexico."
"The greatest tyranny is censoring information in order to be better able to control people." - Cristina Saralegui
It's clear that the kid has issues. Again, this is why the extreme rhetoric that has become accepted as commonplace in this society is so dangerous.
There are impressionable, ill minds out there that can't parse the information overload. I'm not talking about controlling speech, but there are rules of decorum that are in the public interest which are no longer adhered to.
The sheer blind anger has to be dialed back.

music (like Marilyn Manson). The music is one thing by itself, but when someone who is mentally and psychologically vulnerable and disturbed gets hooked on the music, that's sometimes when the tragedy happens.
When uncivil discourse and angry rhetoric meets a person who is psychologically vulnerable and disturbed is saturated in the rhetoric, that's when the tragedy happens...
"The greatest tyranny is censoring information in order to be better able to control people." - Cristina Saralegui
Sensationalists like the PMRC are the problem. Claiming that Manson contributes to violence is as clueless as saying Obama is a Muslim. Such music is at most cathartic. Not true for all music, but Manson (and pretty much all PMRC targets) yes. You are using the same broad brush that they paint video games, explicit/violent/graphic novels, and any other number of things that deviate from the "norm" with. Though the idea that the already brittle can be broken by the slightest, seemingly benign, influence is true.
pointing to the music as a bad thing. I guess this was a bad analogy to try to make to begin with, but what I was trying to say is that the mind of someone suffering mental illness can take anything, even good things that are positive and cathartic for everyone else, and make it into something terrifying and evil, so you can imagine what an ill mind will do with hateful righty rhetoric.

Except for all the anti Immigrant stuff...He's right-on about humans.
"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."
Yep.
Filthy.
"I can't keep doing this on my own with these...people."
We are just another species on the ever-changing planet that does what all species do, expand our numbers until we run in to the ceiling on what the environment can support. That ceiling, however, is no more static than the rest of the planet. The idea that we are fundementally different in our behavior or effect than any other species is ludicrous.
...grows its own food, then kills off the competitors for that food even when the competitors aren't trying to eat that food. Please.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
Ants. See aphids. Pretty sure. And besides, how does a more complex system for food aquisition change the underlying principal at work? Why should our species, from a purely functional perspective, be expected to go extinct or pevent the extinction of any other species? Why should the function of the planet all of the sudden change just because we showed up? Species have driven eachother and themselves extinct for the entire history of life on earth. The steady state basis of many environmentalist arguments is something I think should be rejected on its face as completely incongruous with any sort of objective reality.
Now if you want to make the argument that we should try to save species because they promote livibility for us, that is something I can get behind. And that we should try to limit impact because we don't know how all the pieces interact, I would agree doubly so. However, if you make the argument that we should be the first species in the history of the planet to put the survival of all other species on an equal footing with our own, I would respectfully disagree. If we lived in an alternate universe with unlimited resources where all life were capable of just consuming omnipresent innanimate energy sources, then perhaps the discussion would be different, but we do not.
"Why should our species, from a purely functional perspective, be expected to go extinct or pevent the extinction of any other species? Why should the function of the planet all of the sudden change just because we showed up?"
I dunno, why shouldn't male humans forcefully top females in order to reproduce? That, too, is a function of the planet in other species. I am a big fan of objective reality, and I acknowledge that we absolutely are animals, and like animals, our main natural goal is the propogation of the species. But because we're the most intelligent animals on the planet, we gotta take responsibility for things other animals don't have to because they can't. That's just my conscience talking though, which itself is an evolved trait of course. And please don't pretend that any other animal can affect the whole planet the same amount as humans. We may not be different fundamentally, but the effects sure are. No one's saying to treat animals exactly equal as humans, but to just consider them expendable casualites that necessarily get run over or even wiped out in humanity's natural charge forward for "progress" is pretty disgusting, and more fitting a beast that can't do any better than that.
Point is, don't try to say we should be the exact same as animals. We have brains that can help us distance ourselves from our more crude natures.
Check your brain....Doesn't seem to be that much distance between us and our "crude natures".
"I can't keep doing this on my own with these...people."
Which is something that Quinn discusses at some point in one of the three Ishmael books.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
Using aphids to prove that humanity isn't alone in it's wretchedness seems a bit off.
"I can't keep doing this on my own with these...people."
They're gatherers. Human hunter-gatherers will kill species that intrude on the hunter-gatherers range of land, but they don't go out and kill those competitors in their own territory.

So, a nut-job, an anarchist, AND a rabid environmentalist. What a combo. Has to be off his meds, likely suffers from bipolar disorder (lithium).

Anarchists know that "immigrants" don't exist. This guy's tactics says he's a statist.
Probably the guy was already unstable, but add to that a high unemployment rate which often leads to unstable people looking for scapegoats, and the deterioration of standards of accepted political discourse and it's surprising that this doesn't happen more often.
Agent Smith: I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.
all kidding aside, being susceptible to the same narcissistic messiah complex that seems to be endemic among americans.....
if people learned the truth about the capitalistic system we live under, how it degrades, quantifies, and puts a arbitrary value upon "human resources", perhaps there would not be so many disturbed people running around.
They just spoke by phone to his brother in law on Fox. The guy has lots of problems according to his brother in law. Seems he faked a serious illness to try to get money from his family after he blew the money he got from a trust Now he is estranged from all those in his family. The brother in law said he feels the guy could harm someone and himself.

Well, he went about this the wrong way and he lost.

Well, judging from his manifesto, I think it would be fair to characterize him as an environmentalist.
Of course, he clearly was not in full possession of his faculties, and could have used some mental health care.
If there were some media personality demagoguing environmental issues, calling on people to resort to any means necessary, I would say that they were irresponsible. I don't think I've seen any of those, but don't be surprised to see Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, and the other fuckos at Fox News try to make this guy a poster child for leftists.
Mental health issues are tough. There but for the grace of god go I. And a 1994 redux in November would definitely be a stressor.

He give a bad name to : atheist/ non theist , environmentalist , big thinkers or scientific thinking , mentally ill , single people , science media programming , darwinist , and probably Quinn to ( but I don't know a lot of that knowledge base to really be sure of that last part ) . He reminds me of the few kids I saw as a kid, when they would go off their lithium med's . He obviously had many problems with no real help threw institutions or mental health expert's , as sad as that is . Ray gun was the ramping up of the multiple culture war's that leads to stuff like this when you add propaganda networks like fox feeding the fear. After all for most fear really does seem to be a mind killer . I would stipulate that rupert's profiting off fear and division feed's into pushing people like this over the edge . This lee person had many issues and deep problems , and mental health institutes and programs have dwindled in the USA during and after ray gun's administration . He makes a great argument for more social mental health programs , more media out put types or programming , re-forming new scientific think tank's ( which here again under ray gun was destroyed/demolished/converted to political types ) . He missed his own solutions to his own problems in his diatribe/manifesto : 1 To not produce as much trash or recycle more and become more self sustaining while spreading good idea's . ; 2 To find more and better ways to co-exist save species and add to diversity . ; 3 If he was so displeased he could have left the earth as he implied other's should do . Or he could have found a dangerous sport and euthanized himself as he wanted other's to die off in his ranting's . ; 4 Used social media types from thing's like the web to find solutions he was looking for , rather than being a tool/piece of what he was railing against . ; 5 If he was against global warming from industrial pollution and other human factor's , he could have been more of a solution rather than a protagonist to some of the problems . ( Example would be solar powered ozone generators on large balloons in the upper atmosphere . And stuff like that ) . ; 6 If he was against the monkey war's ( You can search for why monkeys kill each other for food/resources and territory ) he could have sourced out solutions for stopping such primal predispositions in humans . Or joined some type of anti war effort/social grouping . ; 7 If he was really as narcissistic as he seam's to have been , he could have done a lot of other non violent thing's to get a fallowing . It's not that hard in this day and age and connectivity . ; 8 If he really wanted to change the world for the better , he should have realized that you or for that matter anyone can't do it over night , but it is best done on 10-20+ year time frames due to normal human mental acuity and perceptional programming criteria . ; 9 He seemed to want the death by cop , or lacked the facility to recognize how hierarchical structures like the police/SWAT , military/solders , MI-5 MI-6 CIA/spy types , political , media , economic industrial/corporations , and the many other human structures . If he had thought it out to this end , suicide by cop/SWAT was and did happen due to the training and the preset structure already in place . ; 10 We can all be glad he fell into the typical bad criminal psychology of crying out and being self destructive in the criminal act's he did on society . Also we can all be glad no one but him was hurt by his delusional insanity , though he caused a lot of disruption's due to his bad acting . I'm glad he even messed up on the bomb/dead man switch , as it was said to fizzled and smoke with no boom . He probably never read The art of war , The anarchist cook book or any other georg hayduke book's , old war nukeclear literature on refinement of pitch blend to uranium and then from that to reactor production of plutonium and the hydrogen enrichment of that material to 98.6%+ or the way's to correctly detonate such old technology . Also the bio-engineered thing's like russia used to do with low tech way's for a anti human agent type bio-terrorism ELE device . Or psychology and real life large social & psychological programming technology and techniques . Or HARRP manipulations with satellite prepositioning tech . Or atmospheric chemical manipulation tech . Ect.... Personally when I heard his device fizzled and a puff of smoke came out I laughed , but I have a taste for dark humor and he hit that funny bone at that point . I was saddened that he went the rout he did , even though I don't agree with most of his ranting's . Also saddened that he gave so much a bad name and rap so to say .
