James Lee Discovery Channel

0 comments
James Jay Lee crusade against the Discovery Channel began long before entering the building in Silver Spring Wednesday, holding employees hostage before being shot.
In 2008, he took a page advertisement in a local newspaper hit the channel "more harm than good" and the publicity of a protest by several days in front of the building. Lee was shot dead by police on Wednesday to end the hostage situation, police said.
"We're running out of time to save this planet and the Discovery Channel is a big part of the problem not the solution," he wrote. "Instead of showing successful solutions, its outreach programs appear to be doing the opposite."
From what is known about Lee through their ideas and struggles online, it seems that the Hawaiian 43-year-old, became interested in saving the earth after reading Daniel Quinn My Ishmael "- which is about one telepathic ape that binds to a 12 - year-old girl to save the planet - but then Lee was focused on the Discovery Channel and programming to be displayed.
In http://SavethePlanetProtest.com, a Web site that federal law enforcement sources confirmed was created by Lee, who lists their demands for the network. These include the channel off the air "all programs to promote the war" and help find ways to stop the "pollution immigration all dirt and anchor baby follows," and " solutions to global warming, pollution, Automotive, International Trade, factory pollution, and the whole damn human economy. "
"Civilization must be exposed for the filth that is," he writes. "Save the Earth means ... The decline in human population. That means stopping the human race from playing any more disgusting human baby!"
Lee says that "nothing is more important" than the saving of animals: "The lions, tigers, giraffes, elephants, Froggies, turtles, monkeys, raccoons, beetles, ants, sharks, bears, and of course, the Chipmunks" .
He adds: "Humans? The planet does not need human beings."
It also requires the company shows daily emissions based on the book of Quinn. In the pages that mention Lee - 207-212 - Ismael explains to 12 years old, Julie how people can draw on humans have demonstrated the basic creativity of history not through "business ... As schools utopian , its prisons, courts, "but by dint of their own interest.ad_iconClick here!
The monkey throws this after Julie tells him she thinks the longest period of human ingenuity was the Industrial Revolution, says Ismael was made possible not by military force, but by millions of small inventions that led to the creation of the steam engine.
Quinn was not immediately available for comment.
In Lee's MySpace page, which lists his heroes as James T. Kirk and Daniel Quinn. He also writes that he wanted to meet "environmentalists, scientists, readers of Daniel Quinn, and people who want to work towards real change." On January 22, 2008, less than a month before he staged the protest outside the Discovery Channel, wrote: "It's time to revolution!"
Cynthia Lee Phillips and her boyfriend met in 2008 in protest. He said they were new to the area, saw the ad and went out of curiosity.
When they arrived, he said, he saw homeless men carrying signs and Lee sitting next to a bag full of money. He said he was handing out money to anyone who comes with good ideas about saving the environment. He tried to hand the couple a handful of tickets, but Philpott said he took it.
"It really seemed to mind. He was adamant quiet about their cause," he said. At the same time, there were pieces of history, such as paying homeless men to attend the event, which did not seem right. "He was consistent, but just not rational."
When he heard that an Asian man who had taken hostage the construction of Discovery, said, I immediately thought: "Oh, my God. It must be him."
Lee was arrested during those days of protest after it threw thousands of dollars in the air, creating an atmosphere of security guards believed it was dangerous, according to a report in the Gazette of the time.
The judge in that case, calling the incident "stupid," Lee gave six months' probation, fined $ 500 and warned he could face up to two months in jail if he was within 500 feet of the building.

A man was shot dead by police after taking three people hostage at the headquarters of the Discovery Channel in the U.S..
Police said all the hostages had escaped safely after the siege, which began when a man entered the building in Silver Spring, Maryland, waving a pistol and with boats tied to their chest.
The officers spent several hours negotiating with the man, who was reported to be unhappy with the hours of network programming.
Montgomery County Police Chief Thomas Manger said a bomb exploded in the attacker's body when he was shot, and were working to determine if two tables and two backpacks also had with him were explosives.
The man, who has not yet been formally identified, entered the building around 13:00 local time.
Manager said officers were monitoring Lee in creating security cameras and tactical officers moved in when they saw him pull out a pistol and point it at one of the hostages.
Police believe 1,900 people working in the building were able to get out safely.
Although police have not named the man, a police official who spoke on condition of anonymity said authorities have identified James Lee, who has a history of protesting against the Corporation Discovery, as the author probable.
MySpace profile views of Lee were invited to see "The idea was to save the planet" by visiting a website apparently created by the call savetheplanetprotest.com 43-years old. It was unclear whether the length of its publication on the web was new, but lashed out at Discovery Communications finally urged him to impart "the promotion of sterilization programs and human infertility."
Discovery Communications operates cable and satellite networks in the U.S. and elsewhere, including the Discovery Channel, TLC and Animal Planet. The schedule of the network includes a program after the fortune of a couple whose family includes sextuplets and twins and another that follows the fate of a family of nine children, 10.
Adam Dolan, director of sales in the education division of Discovery, said he was heading to lunch with a colleague when he heard that there was a situation in the building.
He was told to get back on the top floor, lock the door and turn off the lights. Finally, workers were led by a ladder and told to go home.
Dolan said: "Everyone was very scared, but at the same time ... I think people are calm and collected and responded as expected in this situation."
