James Lee is dead, as the Police have said that he was the person who had created the Discovery Channel Hostage crisis. He was shot dead by the police on Wednesday. According to the police, it is said that he had a hand gun and taken some hostages under him. The reason he did all this is very shocking.
He has a strong inspiration from the infamous “Unabomber”, Theodore Kaczynski, who had done mail bombings and killed 3 people, currently serving a life sentence. Lee had a mindset same as to Kaczynski, he believed that human population growth and industrial development is a serious threat to the earth, and was very serious about it.
After hours of failed negotiations, Lee was shot by a sniper and some three hostages were released from him. Lee was dead against Discovery Channel and his against the Channel is old. He had protested outside the channel’s office many times and had been fined for this. Lee said on a web site that Discovery Channel is a big culprit, instead of showing solutions to solve the global warming crisis and population problems, they are airing destructive programs which give them good profit.
He wanted to make a point here, but could have done it in an other way. Sadly for Lee an environmental enthusiast, he is no more and now cannot contribute his efforts to save this planet earth.
