So I guess it's official then ... "environmentalism" has now become one of those political crusades people kill for. It had been at the "terrorism" level for a while - mostly involving 'animal rights' extremists - but this seems to have escalated into overt gun-in-your-face tactics now.
Mr. Lee won't be an isolated case, but the first in an escalating series, a precedent-setter, a martyr. Bet on it.
And yes, SOME of his concerns do seem valid. The human population has grown to unsustainable levels and is reaching the point where large-scale resource wars are likely to break out and whole populations of "have nots" may dry up and blow away.
Crazy Ted Kazinski, the "unibomber", also had some valid points about the elite using technology to oppress everyone else.
But in both cases, their SOLUTIONS were seriously inappropriate and really did nothing to help their causes.
Mr. Lee thinks 'Discovery' network shows ought to become nothing but propaganda organs for his particular set of views and 'solutions' - support him 101 percent or DIE. A 'taliban' variant in my humble opinion ... on a crusade to convert, or exterminate, the 'infidels'.

Not that I agree, but if even I did, all you got here is "to die for". But it pretty obvious even to a deaf, blind, mute monkey that those who destroy the enviroment have a far worse record, so give us a break. You might want to look up Fallujah and ponder why they have so much leukemia there.

glycol57: Ummm... he didn't kill anyone, actually. It's pretty clear he was a nut, though.

I am relieved that none of the hostages were harmed. It would have been better if Mr. Lee could have been aprehended and put into a mental hospital to have gotten the help he obviously needed.
The problem is not environmentalism, it's obsession.

This is sort of like "Whale Wars" but on land. I can't wait to see the footage on tV.

The guy is barely, just barely coherent. I have to admit that I usually give a little thought to statements that people make just before they die, but this guy is just addled way beyond making sense.
He uses the term "filthy babies" to make a point about population? What is that? Some cuckoo-birds run things through their head and cannot find a way out. This guy just kept finding different ways to be angry at pretty amorphous and entirely unrelated things.
He should have moved to Alaska, he would have liked it there.

"Lee was convicted by a jury and served two weeks in jail. He was also ordered to stay 500 feet away from Discovery headquarters."
At what point do convicts start to lose rights? Is it only federal convicts that lose the right to vote, for example?
Did this bloke still have the "right to bear arms" (buy and own guns), but not the right to professional mental health care?
Sad, sad case. Good thing no one else was hurt.

They don't as long as the ACLU remains in businrss.

Yep, another left-wing nutcase. I bet he is a regular reader of commondreams.org and has the DVD of "The Story of Stuff".

He was right about one thing -- the contents of the Discovery Channel are TERRIBLE! It's too bad he didn't survive, he could have taken them to court and sued them for bringing on his insanity. I can't watch the lowbrow, pseudoscientific crap they broadcast for more than 5 minutes without wanting to scream.

So you agree that babies are "parasitic human infants", but you think he just shouldn't have taken a gun and held people hostage?
No, it's not just his SOLUTIONS that are completely wrong, but also his CONCERNS.

We have been seeing an uptick in the number of loons out there. This guy, the nutcase in Florida, the professor down south, and quite a few others. Whats the deal with all these people coming out of the woodwork? And why do all the nuts recently seem to be lefties?

Just FYI, although they cannot vote, they can still run for any office. Sheriff, Judge, President. Isn't that bizarre?

I am against Libs owning guns and i am against this Lib on Lib violence and the Globalist's (News Corp) eugenics programs and policies.
If we would all eat seaweeds this would not even be an issue. =But the pressure for more control/taxes/theft of rights is very high right now.

The hysteria from yourself seems pretty high too, if I may say so.

I'd say the guy is a normal left-winger.
