James Lee Identified As Assailant At Discovery Channel Hostage Situation

Little is known about the the current hostage situation unfolding at the Silver Spring, Maryland offices of the Discovery Channel. And while the story is still very fluid, some interesting clues have been revealed. First, a lengthy screed has been posted on a website called Save The Planet Protest that opens with “The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY.” A Whois search of the registrant of that domain is listed as James Lee. Update: Alleged Discovery Channel HQ gunman ID’d as James Jay Lee; has history of protesting outside building.

Update: Lee’s MySpace Profile includes the following:

About me:
The idea I had to save the planet is here. Go to SaveThePlanetProtest.com to see what it is.

This document will be printed in the newspaper calling for protest against the networks. This is it, it’s happening.

SaveThePlanetProtest.com/protest.htm

February 15-23, 2008, from 9am to 9pm everyday until the Discovery network gives in.
Who I’d like to meet:
Environmentalists, scientists, readers of Daniel Quinn, and people who want to work toward a real change.

The Whois result offers little data, but does include the following:

Registrant:
James Lee c/o Free Private Reg
P.O. Box 81024
Burnaby, BC V5H 4K2
CA

Domain name: SAVETHEPLANETPROTEST.COM

Administrative Contact:
Lee, James savetheplanetprotest.com@freeprivateregistration.com
P.O. Box 81024
Burnaby, BC V5H 4K2
CA
852-3594-1708

It is reasonable to conclude that if the author of the screed on Save the Planet Protest is in fact involved in the hostage situation unfolding in Silver Springs, Maryland, then the registrant of that domain is also involved – or is likely the same person. All that has been reported by TBD.com is that the gunman has been identified as an Aisan male. Perhaps James Lee?

The full screed of Save The Planet Protest below, which ends “These are the demands and sayings of Lee.”:

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.

He has some interesting ideas, “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 ” that’s certainly thinking outside the box. A lot of heart but not sure he’s grasped the science of it yet…

Plus, he’s not considering the carbon footprint of all the television shows he’s currently developing! :)

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. But maybe wait until they actually do next time before you point it out.

I wrote this just for you C:

The psychosocial roots of bullying, including abusive language, slurs and flaming online (but also physically violent behavior, terrorism and terroristic behavior and even insanity and suicide or murder):

For decades we have known that people who are compelled to abuse others have problems. A compassionate view is difficult when one observes bullying behavior in another person. It raises the hackles. All the anger at willful mistreatment of another person who is simply expressing their view… makes me want to hit back with the very huge mean streak I seek always to suppress. It’s even more overwhelming in its ferocity (and therefore even more shameful) because I know that abusers and especially those who hide behind the internet are damaged but want (even need) to damage or silence others through cheap shots, foul language and insult. For me this just pokes my inner pit-bull and makes me rain down cruel words to let them know they shouldn’t have come to a gun fight armed with a pen knife. I am not proud of it, though I will admit that I get a bit of a thrill when I identify the soft flesh of a weak man without the intellectual capacity to participate in reasoned discourse.

So… for my conscience’s sake I will say this that research shows bullies of any type either are (select one or several … whichever apply):

1.abuse victims who only feel powerful when they attack others
2.socio-paths without the ability to actually “see” other human beings
3.chemically dependent and unable to inhibit behaviors that are negative
4.brain damaged specifically in the prefrontal region and this limits their ability to judge consequences or use good judgment (could be birth defect like fetal alchohol syndrome, trauma, disease or another cause)
5.have serious doubts about their masculinity and are so traumatized by this they display behaviors that they mistakenly think reinforce their masculinity
6.Have some major physical deformity or physiological dysfunction of which they are deeply ashamed and angry.
7.Or have experienced such heartbreak, loneliness and rejection that they strike out at any moving target
8. Or here is another one I almost forgot. Bullies are ususally poorly educated and can’t compete with anyone in a good debate. They get frustrated easily and have a tantrum because they feel powerless.

Some scholarly articles for those who have the brain pan, let alone the willingness, to absorb new information, are available online. Time to grow-up and become Godly men… who can speak in a Godly manner. Because, after all, if you have a point to make, make it. Your intelligence wins you support… Your abuse of those who oppose you only creates opposition to what you support. No one intelligent (left, right or center) likes it or wants to be associated with this type of ignorant, childish behavior.

Your sister in Christ, Kathy

This guys manifesto reads just like Al Gore’s book. Maybe he should forget about the Discovery Channel, and try to win an Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and Nobel Prize.

I’m not denying anything. You don’t know if that’s what they intended to do until they do it or you provide evidence that that was the case in this particular instance. Otherwise, it is only an assumption. To claim ‘knowledge’ is delusional.

It’s ‘Silver Spring’, not ‘Silver Springs’. The headline gets it right. The artyicle should too.

Keep slinging you mental feces monkey boy. Anyone can rage, ridicule and abuse others. You only win support for their view not your own. Say something intelligent please.

KMLake, like all libs you will find excuses for the guy since he is a lib. Now, when it’s a Christian Tea-Partier, thats a whole other story. The left bends over backwards to tie every murder to Glenn Beck or a tea-partier, ever if it’s a suicide. There’s a Glenn Beck book in the purps house, well thrown Glenn in jail and thrown away the key!! You are a pathetic bunch of losers!!

Hey Colby,
Appearantely he was spurred into action by watching Al Gore’s movie. Would you see if you can get big Al to comment on this? I’d love his take. Thanks for your GREAT work!!

Guys, its not just the left or the right, everyone’s to blame here. Radicals on both sides push people like this man and yourselves to fight over things than can be resolved without guns and hostage situations. If everyone would take 2 steps back and realize what the far left and right have done to us, we’ll finally realize the harm we’ve done to ourselves and our country. No one’s to blame except for everyone.

Don’t bother trying to start a conversation with Mr. Hall. Word around the camp fire, via some sources, stated that he’s been instructed, as has Mr. Christopher, to not get into discussions on the comment sections. To many commenters have been schooling them, making Mediaite look bad.

That would be good advice for all leftwingers right now…. just sit down and shut up until November and try not to add fuel to the fire. They have no platform to promote anyway. What’s the plan? More Porkulus?

This is the third time I’ve asked the question and still not a single response from anyone…. what’s the (D) Parties vision for 2011? It’s obvious that you don’t want to talk about the track record of COTUS over the past 3.5+ years…. and you don’t wanna talk about this POTUS ‘achievements’ over the past 1.5+ years…. and now that Dubya is polling better than Obowma you don’t want to talk about Bush anymore so….

what DO you guys wanna talk about? Anything of substance?

I still think it’s too funny…. I haven’t heard much more of that catchy little phrase that Obeyme was pimping for a short while ….. DO YOU WANNA GO FORWARD, OR DO YOU WANNA GO BACWARDS?

Guess he didn’t like the answer to the question, huh?
