Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ
An anonymous reader writes "The manifesto of the man holding the Discovery Channel hostage with a bomb has been released. He has fired shots and taken hostages. His main complaints are about overpopulation, religion and civilization. He wants them to avoid encouraging people to produce more 'disgusting human babies,' to get people to accept 'Malthus-Darwin science,' reject civilization and its 'disgusting religious-cultural roots,' and to stop 'ALL immigration pollution.'" The man has now been shot by police, and the hostages have been freed.
Seriously, who holds the people at the Discovery Channel hostage for anything?
This won't affect shark week will it?
"I use a Mac because I'm just better than you are."
... this guy was against religion. We all know how crazy religious people are!
If he has all of these complaints, he shouldn't have wanted to blow things up. More pollution would have been created by the clean-up and re-building had he blown the building up. I think these crazy people need to think before they engage in their crazy plots. That way, we might listen to them.

Won't somebody please think of the Froggies!

If we don't have any more disgusting babies, how will we get people to work the boats on Deadliest Catch, or drive the rigs on Ice Road Truckers?
Why didn't he just jump off the building, and then make an immediate appearance on Ghost Lab? He would have had all the air time in the world to rant about "parasitic human infants" if he could make the first ever actually non-BS appearance on an idiotic cable ghost hunting show.
Anyway, let's hear it for the Montgomery County PD for taking care of this clown. Alas, we'll now get to listen to him rant in court, too.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
Is Slashdot trying to turn into CNN now? This isn't news for nerds.

Committing violence is never the way to gain true followers.
Violence is like XML -- if it's not solving your problem, you're not using enough of it!
(See, naysayers! We can turn anything into News for Nerds.)
But he took over the Discovery HQ! Think of the sharks!

No no no, you don't understand. Most atheists are totally for TV shows like Jon and Kate - I mean, where else are we going to get a steady supply of fresh babies?
Next you're going to tell me that I should be barbecuing some cute cows or something. Disgusting.
On the other hand, if you're dealing with an atheist vegan, that's when you have problems.
Dude, they're just cartoons. The green ones are not sexy. They're just food with some advertising mascots.
But if they did have a religion, I imagine this guy would fit the bill.
Washington has laws against such things.
Maybe they should have passed two or three more laws against them, so the guy wouldn't have done it.
Oh, you're not stuck, you're just unable to let go of the onion rings.
what is his slashdot id?

I'd watch a Discovery Channel game show based on Time Cube!
