[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...

Who Is James Lee?

BY LUKE FUNK

MYFOXNY.COM - James J. Lee, 43, has run a one-man protest against the Discovery Channel. He is the man who has been named as the suspect who is believed to have taken at least one hostage at the company's suburban Washington, D.C. headquarters.

He operates the Web site savetheplanetprotest.com . The site contains a list of demands for changes at the channel.

It starts with the line, "The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY:"

Lee has also conducted protests outside of the Discovery Channel headquarters building in Silver Spring, Md. and was reportedly arrested in February 2008 in connection with a week-long protest he had planned for February 15-23, 2008.

Lee's main complaint, according to his site, was that the network claims to show "Environmental Programs" but their shows cause more harm than good. He cited shows like "Cash Cab" and Dirty Jobs". He claims they serve as diversions to keep the focus off of what he considers important issues such as global warming and animal extinction.

James Lee has a MySpace page . He says that he's 5'11" tall and from Hawaii. He described himself as an atheist who did not want children in his profile.

His last post at 10:06 AM Jan 22, 2008 said, "Lee says: It's time for REVOLUTION!!!"

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, bitch, 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.
