Some homeless guy who was unhappy about the Discovery Channel’s lack of quality environmental programming showed up at the network’s suburban Washington headquarters today, and took several people hostage at gunpoint. He also had canisters strapped to his chest.
Most of the network’s employees were able to make out out of the building safely.
Police say that the suspect is likely to be James J. Lee, a man who was arrested at the same location in 2008 for throwing thousands of dollars in the air outside of the building.
In 2008, Lee wrote on his website,
These guys have been very sneaky and deceptive as to their contribution to the planetary problems. Just look at their ‘new’ show about saving the planet, ‘Planet Green,’ to me, it’s just another show about more PRODUCTS to make MONEY, not about actual solutions. We can’t let them get away with doing it anymore.
