Hostage Situation At Discovery Channel Headquarters

Midnight_EG

Link for those interested, shows a live stream.

Not much of a report, so no point in posting the literature.



Thoughts?


Wonder will they make a documentary of it...:pac:

Superbus

The hostage taker mustn't like myths relentlessly being busted.

Terry

Ugh. Fox News.

mojesius

Probably a crazed fishing fan demanding another series of 'deadliest catch'.

super_furry

"UPDATE: There are reports the gunman has some sort of tank-like device strapped to his body and possibly has at least one hostage."

It's Megatron!!!!

Dartz

"James J. Lee. Protested the Discovery Channel."

I guess someone's annoyed that the Mythbusters wouldn't run that myth about Stockholm syndrome....

Mr Benevolent

Not interesting. If it was Fox HQ I'd be interested. In fact I'd be cheering the bomber on.

mikom

Another one upset that shark week is over.

All they have to do is send in Bear Gryls anyway.

Any chance they can hijack sky sports news and get that blonde chick to post clips of herself on redtube

:eek: Jaysus

lisbon_lions

a former or current employee who is trying to call shots on current programming on the channel? Whacko.

JONJO THE MISER

Rushes in all excited...... Swat team on on the scene and a male is carrying explosives inside the building........... more to follow:eek:

Atavan-Halen

I thought there was a live stream from inside the building

Anyone watching the CNN feed? They're evacuating the creche and wheeling cots across the road. Would it not be easier to just pick the babies up? Esp. if the gunman has explosives.

Babies don't have wheels though.

Those cots are expensive.

Just said on Fox news that the guy is doing this because he doesn't like the programming on Discovery, im looking at ye guys http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056007310

zebeedee

A man wielding a gun and possibly carrying an explosive device is holed up at the Discovery Channel
Lee also lashes out about Discovery Channel programs promoting war and technology.

Think this guy was watching too many war and technology shows on discovery.

It is Bear Grylls. They won't pay the room service bill from his last series.

'James Jay Lee'. Typical. Anyone with a first name as a surname is always nuts.

lisbon_lions

sky news has his myspace space page on and are showing his friends etc, sick sick sky.:rolleyes:

Kiwi_knock

Fox News is showing random images of the building took by an eyewitness which actually shows nothing at all

Pompey Magnus

One rumour is that the hostage taker is an eco terrorist who created this site:

Cached as site is down

Edit: The site is signed off by someone called Lee, News just named the hostage taker as James J Lee...this could be the guy

JONJO THE MISER

Comfirmed by Fox news the suspect is James. J. Lee.

Hey hey hey hey... unfair generalistion.

Kiwi_knock

I think the Fox News anchorman is making light of the situation, adding in jokes about his beeper and crazy protestors, if this goes downhill it will not look good on him.

From the site: All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants.

Reads like the green party manifesto.

I hope John Gormley is curled up inside the tank-like device he has strapped to him.

Heh.

2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs' places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it.

Sounds like half of the AH users any time the words Skanger, Dole, unmarried mother and recession are mentioned.

I'm bookmarking that link to throw back at them he next time they start on a similar rant.

You and me baby ain't nothing but hostages ..

Kiwi_knock

it is surprising that he allowed all the babies in the creche to go seeing as he has a thing against babies.

JONJO THE MISER

I do love these live situations, grabs popcorn.

He probably found a sex tape of the prime minister and he asked what kind of sandwiches they do.

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.

**** YEAH!

If anyone ever went into the Fox HQ to take hostages, people would be queuing up outside to give him their spare bullets.

:rolleyes: Fair cop, I would be one of them and freely admit that I advocate some of what this guy is raving about such as the need for population control and the unsustainability of current population growth. Just cause this guy is clearly off his meds doesn't mean anyone who holds similar views is just as unhinged.


Totally agree with him about the squirrels though, about time someone stood up for them

Lee recently published a manifesto :

The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY:

1. The Discovery Channel and it's affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn's "My Ishmael" pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be
done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other's inventive ideas. 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. A game show format contest would be in order. Perhaps also forums of leading scientists who understand and agree with the Malthus-Darwin science and the problem of human overpopulation. Do both. Do all until something
WORKS and the natural world starts improving and human civilization building STOPS and is reversed! MAKE IT INTERESTING SO PEOPLE WATCH AND APPLY SOLUTIONS!!!!

2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs' places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it.

3. All programs promoting War and the technology behind those must cease. There is no sense in advertising weapons of mass-destruction anymore. Instead, talk about ways to disassemble civilization
and concentrate the message in finding SOLUTIONS to solving global military mechanized conflict. Again, solutions solutions instead of just repeating the same old wars with newer weapons. Also, keep
out the fraudulent peace movements. They are liars and fakes and had no real intention of ending the wars. ALL OF THEM ARE FAKE! On one hand, they claim they want the wars to end, on the other, they are demanding the human population increase. World War II had 2 Billion humans and after that war, the people decided that tripling the population would assure peace. WTF??? STUPIDITY! MORE HUMANS EQUALS MORE WAR!

4. Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is. That, and all its disgusting religious-cultural roots and greed. Broadcast this message until the pollution in the planet is reversed and the human population
goes down! This is your obligation. If you think it isn't, then get hell off the planet! Breathe Oil! It is the moral obligation of everyone living otherwise what good are they??

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!

7. Develop shows that mention the Malthusian sciences about how food production leads to the overpopulation of the Human race. Talk about Evolution. Talk about Malthus and Darwin until it sinks into the stupid people's brains until they get it!!

8. Saving the Planet means saving what's left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies! You're the media, you can reach enough people. It's your resposibility because you reach so many minds!!!

9. Develop shows that will correct and dismantle the dangerous US world economy. Find solutions for their disasterous Ponzi-Casino economy before they take the world to another nuclear war.

10. Stop all shows glorifying human birthing on all your channels and on TLC. Stop Future Weapons shows or replace the dialogue condemning the people behind these developments so that the shows become exposes rather than advertisements of Arms sales and development!

11. You're also going to find solutions for unemployment and housing. All these unemployed people makes me think the US is headed toward more war. 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. 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! Also, war must be halted. Not because it's morally wrong, but because of the catastrophic environmental damage modern weapons cause to other creatures. FIND SOLUTIONS JUST LIKE THE BOOK SAYS! Humans are supposed to be inventive. INVENT, DAMN YOU!!
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.
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.

You MUST KNOW the human population is behind all the pollution and problems in the world, and YET you encourage the exact opposite instead of discouraging human growth and procreation. Surely
you MUST ALREADY KNOW this! I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the world their new program lineup
and I want proof they are doing so. I want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it. These are the demands and sayings of Lee.
