James J Lee Takes Discovery Channel Building Hostage, Babies Being Evacuated, Manifesto Found
September 2nd, 2010 - 1:50 am ICT by Angela Kaye Mason ( 38 comments )
Sep 1 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The Montgomery Count Police were called to the scene of the Discovery Channel Building in Silver Springs, Maryland, eight miles from Washington, DC, at a report of “shots fired”. Very quickly these police officers realized the situation was far more serious, as it was confirmed that an Asian looking man with a gun had walked into the lobby of the building, wearing what appears to be a bomb, and stated, “Nobody is going anywhere.”
Employees from inside the building, locked in a closet, are texting information to news agencies as the situation continues. Many of these witnesses do not wish to be identified for their own safety. Witnesses say that they saw “people” laying on the floor of the lobby where the hostage-taker is located.
A daycare center in the building is currently being evacuated, and the children are being taken to a nearby apartment until the parent can arrive to take them home. “FOX” news channel showed footage of cribs being quickly wheeled away from the Discovery Channel Building with sleeping babies still in the cribs.
The police have confirmed that they do have a suspect in the building with whom they are now speaking. Negotiations are currently being held by the Montgomery County Police, who say that the suspect wishes to speak with the executives of ‘The Discovery Channel’. They have also found a manifesto which could explain the motives of the suspect(s). This is unconfirmed as of yet, but can be seen here http://savetheplanetprotest.com/.
In the manifesto, the words, “Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution.” If this is truly the demands of the man which currently holds this building hostage then getting these babies out is even more urgent.
According to FOX news the man, James J Lee suspected to be the perpetrator. He is known to the employees at the building, and they have had trouble from him before, when he launched a “Save The Planet” protest and made demands of the Network at that time.This is possibly the Myspace site of the suspect, but that is so far not confirmed.

Yet another role model of the left-wing nut-jobs. This says it all when it comes to left-wing principles, the hypocrites say no one else should live except themselves.
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:10 am
I have an inside line to your mom’s house…
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:12 am
This guy is batshit crazy. Hope they shoot him in the head.
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:13 am
You dumbass. Stop playing left or right politics. This guy is crazy and representative of neither side.
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:14 am
This is horrible. He should of done a peaceful protest not go in there with guns blazing. What a shame people should have the right to freedom of speech but this is just is bad!
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:15 am
the number to Fox is 1-888-369-4762.
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:17 am
Yes we can do that so you can get on the air and yell Baba Booey! Come on, give us a break with your BS.
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:20 am
Not a Lib .. not the right time dude. bailbondsorangecounty .. he tried peaceful protest.
Does anyone know his website?
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:24 am
liberals gone wild
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:25 am
Fox news is 1–888-369-4762
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:26 am
To Not a Lib:
How is this “left-wing nut-job” any different than Timothy McVeigh, Eric Robert Rudolph and
Scott Roeder?
These are crazy people… period. No politics, just insanity.
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:36 am
His website: http://www.savetheplanetprotest.com/ Has been shut down.
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:37 am
[You dumbass. Stop playing left or right politics. This guy is crazy and representative of neither side.]
Which means he’s a lefty a-hole. If he wasn’t, his voting record would already be on cnn.
Thanks for clarifying.
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:38 am
Hmmm…. a left wing environmentalist is armed, takes hostages and rants about overpopulation. I wonder how many media outlets will ruminate about how “left wing fearmongering about global warming” caused this guy to crack?
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:38 am
Please ask his web host Doteasy.com why that is. 604-434-4307
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:47 am
He has permanent brain damage just as all americans do.
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:52 am
Paul … and where are you from?
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:59 am
To “Not-A-Lib”
Certainly you don’t think you are some upstanding role model for the right-wing community. Because there is currently a hostage situation, and you find yourself more concerned with slandering a group of people based off one man’s particular beliefs.
At least liberals don’t have the extremist tea party, which does nothing but besmirch the name of all right wingers.
Tsk tsk. Honestly…

Here’s Lee’s cached manifesto. http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2010/09/01/cached-manifesto-of-discovery-channel-hostage-taker/
Oh and global climate change remains a real threat regardless of how this man will now be used to discredit the factual science regarding it.
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:21 am
In my opinion his writing is a sign that he is a paranoid schizophrenic. His delusion shows the same structure although he has individualized the exact content. The present political situation is not the cause of his problems.
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:25 am
Wake up white people more anti white hate crimes about to happen
i hope this slopehead gets a lead salad
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:41 am
ok adam … Do you have any knowledge that this is racially motivated? Or do you just despise asian people?
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:42 am
Well well well, another person wishing to impose their will on others.. If he is so concerned about ‘overpopulation’ he should just go in a corner and die or jump of a bridge by himself.
Hypocrite.
Maybe he will get a reality tv show out of it.

The prophet said you must convert or be killed. Don’t give them an inch.
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:31 am
Figures they would shoot him, Police always shot ask questions later, They do not know how to negotiate, poor James Lee
Save the Planet people
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:56 am
“poor” James Lee,
Ha Ha Ha
September 2nd, 2010 at 5:02 am
Go back to China and tell your people ‘No More Babies’ .. sex crazed nation with too much population.

Well, a couple of days ago, Al Gore told his followers to get up and do something to save the world.
Gore must be proud right now. It’s like he’s awakening mad robots with telepathic signals.
Obamabots are like that, too.
Have you noticed that the bulk of the “domestic terrorism” over the past two years has been the nutbag Lefties?
Napolitano is too busy spying on disabled vets, Glenn Beck fans, and Tea Party members to worry about the real screwballs.
September 2nd, 2010 at 6:22 am
Poor James Lee (!) was an unstable guy strapped with explosives, Darren. Are you a nutbag like him, too? If so, move left into my cross-hair. Perhaps you are a racist, whose culture is convinced that all cops are bad. Too bad for you and yours.

In this site, we see FOX NEWS raised conservative sheep demonize this guy (rightly so), and then set him as an example of all liberal environmentalist (wrongly so).
The guy is obviously an insane, environmentalist, fully supporting Malthuism to a length unseen before. Rightly, he was too much of a danger for everyone else. And his anti-baby comments would rightly anger any sane human being.
But that dosen’t change the fact that he had some (very few) good points.
For example, we do have too many TV shows that promote weapons and warfare. Should we good people be doing this?
Also, It’s true that every american uses x times (x being a number higher than, say, 20) of resources, goods, etc. than people from other parts of the world. While you can argue that as a First World country, we have an inherit right to it, you can see that there’s an aspect of human greed here.
Overall, yes, he was a demented, anti-capitalist, tree hugger who would save a squirrel rather than his fellow man. Yes, I certainly for one won’t miss him. But that doesn’t change that some (once again, VERY FEW) of his ideas hold some truth within them.
September 2nd, 2010 at 8:17 am
I wonder which Truthout moron this James J Lee is…or better yet was. He is now DRT [Dead Right There] Thanks goes out to the police officer who shot this POS. That officer deserves a medal and a promotion. We have saved the planet by getting rid of this fool.
September 2nd, 2010 at 8:50 am
This idiot non-human deserved to die. He obviously has not concern for human life and should not be allowed to live with us. Anyone that would choose wildlife over human life is not deserving of life. If he doesnt like things that happen in AMERICA then leave. Our borders are opened to leaving not just entering. Go to ASIA where the pollution and filth is a lot worse than here in America.
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:12 pm
The guy is crazy, so stop trying to make political sense of his nonsense. Trying to say he’s left wing or right wing is a sinister and stupid way of saying your position is correct. Fox news is calling him a crazy environmentalist, but I bet they did not mention his views on immigration and anchor babies.
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:52 am
Most of you guys here are the ones who are crazy…the man had to resort to violence to get any attention in the media about what he wanted…it is very sad and shameful…and all he wanted was to help save the planet and the animals…basically help protect nature.
All you here need to wake up …sooner or later…this is not a left or right thing…the truth is that the man should not have been killed. He could have been taken down by other means…but America and other such controlled nations like shoot first and then not ask any relevant questions ever….that’s the truth.
Would you like to be treated that way?
Get over YOURSELVES…you are th ones who are so controlled and brainwashed that you think killing a man who had something important to say is a good thing.
Please….you guys are crazy.
That’s just too obvious.

He had an important message:
