This is half a mile from where I work. I've heard probably 50-60 police sirens go past me since around 1:15 pm today. The entire center of the city of Silver Spring is completely shut down.

This is what the Discovery Channel building looks like during Shark Week. :downspin:

James J Lee.. some asian dude who read some books and watched some movies and went nuts about saving the planet

http://savetheplanetprotest.com/ apparently that's his site

he paid homeless men to protest with him in '08 outside this discovery building and apparently the employees all knew who he was.. he was a running joke

It's nice to know some can find humor in this bearing in mind that this is real and that real people can die.

Are we all seriously this desensitized now?

the humor is from something that was posted two years ago from a person that was mocking this wacko

[balli]

The kids are out the building? His agenda is environmental?


Whatever. I don't care. Either kill or get killed guy, I approve of your ends.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

His demands:

EDIT: Already posted, but this guy is a fucking retard. If he truly believes in his cause, then he should start by offing himself.

I'm sitting about 10 football fields from where it's happening. Trust me, it isn't because I'm desensitized that I'm laughing about the situation.

[cheguevara]

[desflood]

Every other demand mentioned something about "filthy children". Must be one of those bitter guys stuck making child-support payments after his ex refused to get an abortion.

[CuckingFunt]

This story would be a lot cooler if the gunman were a shark.

"Hey, I want the whole world to hear my manifesto. I want a chance to get my message across to as many people as possible. Where do I go? A specialty cable channel that is somewhat popular. THAT's the right idea. Greater reach than MSNBC anyway.

Interesting analysis. Been watching Criminal Minds a lot? :p:

According to his alleged demands, he didn't give a fuck about humans. Overpopulation was his real beef because "humans are responsible for all the problems in the world." It sure sounds crazy, but sadly I didn't get a chance to look at his website and it just redirects me to the hosting service.

Can anyone confirm that the demands match the website material? I just ask because those "demands" are most certainly not demands, they are too easy to dismiss as the rantings of a crazy person...someone that would have killed someone sooner out of paranoia. I'm also curious if we'll ever find out what was in those packages and materials he took inside the building.

lol, you know you are bummed he is not some t-bagging righty.



Discovery Channel just went up a few notches in my mind after seeing their building during shark week lmao. And as previously mentioned, we all know Mike Rowe really took him out and is just giving local SWAT the cred because he is such a nice guy.

[The Reckoning]

theres going to be a good documentary on this i bet. lots of first person sources.

btw, mike rowe seems like an asshat.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Why would the media want to stop people from breeding? Were all just food for them when they show their true faces as they do in the hit abc show V coming back in November.

Watched a documentary last night called Three Days in September about the school hostage situation in Russia a couple years back.

Crazy shit, man. Depressing as hell, too.

That is an excellent documentary. Nightmarish.

Kate Goslin makes me crazy too. Discovery Channel SHOULD be blown up for putting that shit on the air.
