    Suspect is James Jay Lee - an ex-employee who was previously arrested for protesting out front of DC HQ back in 2008.

    [Updated at 2:31 p.m.] Montgomery County Police said they are speaking with a man who has taken a hostage. Police described the man's grudge the following way: "His beef is with Discovery."

    "We are speaking with him now," police said.

    --

    Sounds like a disgruntled ex-employee or something...

    His manifesto and other info is up on drudge report.

    He's LITERALLY demanding the sterilization of mankind and the reversal of human progress and building and he wants Discovery Channel to televise it all...including a GAME SHOW! hahahaha Can we start by eliminating him?

    Hopefully everyone gets out safely. This guy is going to have a long time to think about this in a state-provided facility. I hope the guys on his cell block keep the TV tuned to Discovery Channel all the time.

    Hey, b****, guess what week it is? That's right! Shark Week! Now toss my salad.

    People need to watch more prison movies. I saw a sick one over the weekend called A Prophet.


    It might help in dissuading people from doing stupid stuff like this.
