Said he has "metal canisters" that could be potential bombs and holding a handgun. Has unknown number of hostages.

Please tell me the Mythbusters chick isn't being held hostage ?

SILVER SPRING, Md. – A man upset with the Discovery Channel's environmental programming took several people hostage at the company's headquarters Wednesday, officials said.

Police were negotiating with the gunman, who burst into the suburban Washington building about 1 p.m. wearing what seemed to be metallic canisters strapped to his front and back and waving a handgun.

The gunman had what Montgomery County Police Chief Thomas Manger described as a "small number of hostages" but he did not say how many. He also did not say what the man wants or whether anyone was hurt.

Manger said most of the 1,900 people who work in the building were able to get out safely.

A law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing said authorities have identified James J. Lee as the likely suspect. Police believe he has a handgun but have not confirmed that he has explosives, the official said.

A different official, who spoke on condition of anonymity for the same reason, said Lee previously protested outside the building.

According to a story in The Gazette, which covers Montgomery County, Lee was arrested there in 2008 after throwing thousands of dollars in the air outside the building.

It appears the guy is a treehugger.

Michelle Malkin is watching this with sadistic satisfaction.

Daniel Quinn books are great.

Montgomery County Police Chief Thomas Manger said one explosive device
detonated on the gunman's body when they shot him, and they were working
to determine whether two boxes and two backpacks he also had with him
were explosives. The 1,900 people who work in the building were able to
get out safely.

“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,” the alleged manifesto reads, adding:

“Nothing is more important than saving ... 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.”

From msn's article.

my wife read an article saying he didn't want more shows with parasitic human infants, they needed to show stuff promoting human sterilization and infertility.

Glad no one got hurt by this crazy motherfucker. he makes the normal whack-job ,who loses a job and holds up a place of work, seem sane by comparison.

Well THIS explains a lot.

This chowderhead was from MAUI!!!!!!!!!!!
