I wonder if "Asian" is the new Obama-approved way of describing Muslims?

Chest explosives and firearms.  Several shots fired already.

[SADShooter]

My instinct says fired/rejected whacko, but the story is very sketchy at present.

[AZRedhawk44]

If he is actually Asian rather than Middle Eastern, then my guess is dumped boyfriend of a gal in the building.  There was a spate of those (Chinese/SE-Asian 20-something immigrant men killing ex-girlfriends) a while back.

Well, over here in blighty, we refer to Pakistanis as Asian.

I've got a 3rd hand account from some guy's cousin's sister that's in the building that his list of demands can be found here:  http://www.savetheplanetprotest.com/

Take it with a grain of salt, but it does appear that nothing was at that page just a few days ago.  It went live recently.

Martyr nut job.

Well, he's certainly got some zany ideas for TV programming.  Not as crazy as cancelling Firefly at least.

Bummer.  I like this author.

A shiny nickle to anyone who can create a copy of this Manifesto on APS or elsewhere, and link it.  I get "server timed out" errors trying to connect, and frankly I suspect it has a .gov leveraged service block or DoS attack against it.

[AZRedhawk44]

Nevermind, I'll keep the nickle.

The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY:
1. The Discovery Channel and it’s affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn’s “My Ishmael” pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other’s inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show format contest would be in order. Perhaps also forums of leading scientists who understand and agree with the Malthus-Darwin science and the problem of human overpopulation. Do both. Do all until something WORKS and the natural world starts improving and human civilization building STOPS and is reversed! MAKE IT INTERESTING SO PEOPLE WATCH AND APPLY SOLUTIONS!!!!

2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs’ places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it.

3. All programs promoting War and the technology behind those must cease. There is no sense in advertising weapons of mass-destruction anymore. Instead, talk about ways to disassemble civilization and concentrate the message in finding SOLUTIONS to solving global military mechanized conflict. Again, solutions solutions instead of just repeating the same old wars with newer weapons. Also, keep out the fraudulent peace movements. They are liars and fakes and had no real intention of ending the wars. ALL OF THEM ARE FAKE! On one hand, they claim they want the wars to end, on the other, they are demanding the human population increase. World War II had 2 Billion humans and after that war, the people decided that tripling the population would assure peace. WTF??? STUPIDITY! MORE HUMANS EQUALS MORE WAR!

4. Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is. That, and all its disgusting religious-cultural roots and greed. Broadcast this message until the pollution in the planet is reversed and the human population goes down! This is your obligation. If you think it isn’t, then get hell off the planet! Breathe Oil! It is the moral obligation of everyone living otherwise what good are they??

5. Immigration: Programs must be developed to find solutions to stopping ALL immigration pollution and the anchor baby filth that follows that. Find solutions to stopping it. Call for people in the world to develop solutions to stop it completely and permanently. Find solutions FOR these countries so they stop sending their breeding populations to the US and the world to seek jobs and therefore breed more unwanted pollution babies. FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO STOP THEIR HUMAN GROWTH AND THE EXPORTATION OF THAT DISGUSTING FILTH! (The first world is feeding the population growth of the Third World and those human families are going to where the food is! They must stop procreating new humans looking for nonexistant jobs!)

6. Find solutions for Global Warming, Automotive pollution, International Trade, factory pollution, and the whole blasted human economy. Find ways so that people don’t build more housing pollution which destroys the environment to make way for more human filth! Find solutions so that people stop breeding as well as stopping using Oil in order to REVERSE Global warming and the destruction of the planet!

7. Develop shows that mention the Malthusian sciences about how food production leads to the overpopulation of the Human race. Talk about Evolution. Talk about Malthus and Darwin until it sinks into the stupid people’s brains until they get it!!

8. Saving the Planet means saving what’s left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies! You’re the media, you can reach enough people. It’s your resposibility because you reach so many minds!!!

9. Develop shows that will correct and dismantle the dangerous US world economy. Find solutions for their disasterous Ponzi-Casino economy before they take the world to another nuclear war.

10. Stop all shows glorifying human birthing on all your channels and on TLC. Stop Future Weapons shows or replace the dialogue condemning the people behind these developments so that the shows become exposes rather than advertisements of Arms sales and development!

11. You’re also going to find solutions for unemployment and housing. All these unemployed people makes me think the US is headed toward more war.

Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and are wrecking what’s left of the planet with their false morals and breeding culture.

For every human born, ACRES of wildlife forests must be turned into farmland in order to feed that new addition over the course of 60 to 100 YEARS of that new human’s lifespan! THIS IS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE FOREST CREATURES!!!! All human procreation and farming must cease!

It is the responsiblity of everyone to preserve the planet they live on by not breeding any more children who will continue their filthy practices. Children represent FUTURE catastrophic pollution whereas their parents are current pollution. NO MORE BABIES! Population growth is a real crisis. Even one child born in the US will use 30 to a thousand times more resources than a Third World child. It’s like a couple are having 30 babies even though it’s just one! If the US goes in this direction maybe other countries will too!

Also, war must be halted. Not because it’s morally wrong, but because of the catastrophic environmental damage modern weapons cause to other creatures. FIND SOLUTIONS JUST LIKE THE BOOK SAYS! Humans are supposed to be inventive. INVENT, DAMN YOU!!

The world needs TV shows that DEVELOP solutions to the problems that humans are causing, not stupify the people into destroying the world. Not encouraging them to breed more environmentally harmful humans.

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.

You MUST KNOW the human population is behind all the pollution and problems in the world, and YET you encourage the exact opposite instead of discouraging human growth and procreation. Surely you MUST ALREADY KNOW this!

I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the world their new program lineup and I want proof they are doing so. I want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it.

These are the demands and sayings of Lee.

I figure this guy isn't going to be around long enough to sue APS or me for copyright, and his intent is distribution of his demands anyways.

have they found his  shrink yet?  when did he stop taking his meds?

[makattak]

Bummer.  I like this author.

Seriously? Daniel Quinn is a nut.

My "enlightened" cousin gave me his book last year. I stomached a chapter or two. His horrible assumptions and terrible reasoning were too much for me.

This fruitcake at the Discovery Channel has the same beliefs.

[AZRedhawk44]

I enjoyed Ishmael.  The book was given to me by someone I perceived as a role model back then and it still carries personal significance even though that person I no longer consider a role model.

Then again, I read it when I was in High School and a pretty strong liberal back then.  Maybe I just remember the enjoyment of the book rather than the content.  It was highly anti-industrial, which I am not anymore.  Gimme guns, trucks, electronics and nifty machinery.  Lots of 'em.  Just pick up afterwards when you're done making 'em.

Ishmael's ideas got tossed out the window after about page 200 of Atlas Shrugged.

She's ok, but damn was I panicked for a while :(

Good to hear read that.

Manifesto boy should act out his hate for humans by shooting himself in the face.  To save the planet, of course.

Yep. He ought to lead the way in his quest to depopulate the planet. The rest of us might follow, after we've received instructions by him as to how to do it obviously .

[SADShooter]

Leadership by example. Viking, I like the way you think. That, or let him be first in line at the Soylent Gr, er, synthetic tofu processing tank.

I'm guessing that the police will give him a dose of Trepanazine any moment now.

Who here is just really glad he's a moonbat human-extinction-movement leftist/luddite as opposed to anything the MSM could remotely relate to the political Right/Libertarian/Tea Party side of things?
