Who the hell can be pissed at Discovery Channel?

Now, in all seriousness, I know a ton of people who work down there, including my dad who is across the street from that building. Hell I just rode my bike past there an hour before it started. Doesn't SEEM like anyone is hurt right now, though.

Police say they're in negotiations. Not sure what you can negotiate. More Ted Koppel-narrated documentaries?
 
Here's his manifesto:

The guy doesn't have an Arabic-sounding last name, which explains why it took so long to get this thread going.
 
If this manifesto doesn't include fewer food shows he needs to be shot.

I'm gonna take a wild-ass guess that mental illness is a factor in this incident.

My co-worker's mom and brother work in that building. I think they got out safely. Co-worker went racing out of the office to go pick them up, but based on the traffic reports, I'm not sure he'll even be able to get close.

Also why there aren't more posters defending him.

It's not that I was hoping he'd be an Islamist. I wasn't.

It's just that I know we conservatives are going to get beat up as a result of this.

The only other obvious group this guy could be associated with is the far right wing. He's probably a Tea Party member, or as Mayor Bloomberg of New York speculated about the Times Square bomber, maybe he's a guy upset about healthcare legislation.

I just hope he didn't attend the Glenn Beck event this past weekend. The media will tear us a new one if he went to that.

So give us your best shot liberals. I'm ready to defend conservatism, even if this guy somehow twisted its message and was somehow driven to violence.

It's really a shame and it's going to set back our side.
 
AP is reporting that Lee accomplished his mission and reduced the world population by one.
 
If anyone reads that manifesto and starts taking shots at conservatives, they've lost their mind ... and I consider myself a proud liberal. That doesn't represent the political viewpoint of anyone other than one single, sad nutcase.

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.

My favorite manfifesto is still the P.A.G.A.N.'s from Dragnet.
It begins with "We believe that bad sex and good drugs are the cornerstones of a great democracy."
 
I still say Al Gore's manifesto is the one that's the most off the wall. The Earth in the Balance is one scary screed.

Of COURSE the Squirrels!
 
Holy ****, one of the local channels here just reported he was influenced by Gore's documentary. You can't make this **** up.

Yeah, why is it "of course the squirrels"? Does he mention them previously in his manifesto or are we all just supposed to assume that squirrels hold a special place in the universe that should be understood by all.

And, btw, squirrels suck. Talk about breeding parasites. Thy name is squirrel.

And their thieves. If you put out a bird feeder, squirrels will do whatever they have to do to get at the food. Their is no defense that will stop them.
