Yup I had one pulled. No biggie. Since I work with news daily I'm used to 'Dark Humor' on most stories. Even the shuttle disasters were fair game, so I'm used to it.

However I do understand how it is insensitive and unproductive in some situations.

“My name is Lee. Look for me on site. I will be demonstrating ideas on how to save the planet in front of the Discovery Channel Building each day until they give in. The idea to save the planet is based on the book “My Ishmael” by Daniel Quinn, where he suggests people can build on each other’s ideas to find solutions for saving the remaining species and living sustainably. The Discovery Channel, the networks, and the government, don’t care about planet-saving ideas that actually work. I say that they must give other ideas a chance. Join us in the protest to save the planet. So please, bring yourself, and maybe a sign with your own slogan with saving the planet as a theme, and some friends.”

Gadzooks! Must be one of those tea Party Conservative Republicans... who are mind controlled by Glenn Beck & Sarah Palin, eh?

Not being a smartass here, just showing how the Main Satreet Media will surely play this!

Bender, you smartass! Stop... calling me 'Shirley!'

My MySpace page says he was born in Hawaii and is an atheist.

Sounds like obama, except for the born in Hawaii part.

Gees the guy is reported to have what looks like two pipe bombs strapped to his fron along with canister that they suspect my be a gas and four gas canister on his back!

They just announced on Fox that the guy was a former Asian employee who organized a significant protest a couple years ago, so your link might be the correct man. I don't think they've given a name out yet. Here's your link again ... Link.

They will carefull research the guy's motives until some connection to a conservatism can be found.

He does mention stopping illegal immigration and anchor babies (because he thinks all human babies are disgusting; he doesn't cares one way or another about immigration for any other reason).

How much do you want to bet that will be the one line out of the entire list of demands the MSM will focus on?

True believers are very unpredictable, thank God they got the children out.

“The Turner Tomorrow Fellowship Award was created in 1989 by Ted Turner, to be awarded to an unpublished work of fiction offering creative and positive solutions to global problems. Ishmael by Daniel Quinn won the award in 1991,”

I'll tell you: if they take away my sex and my food, I'll be barricading myself inside some office building too.

OK where is R. Lee Ermey when you need him. Or Jamie Hyneman with that big Barett .50 cal. Or even the Whale Wars guys with a potato gun.

Wouldn't surprise me.

[Braak]

Yep...This guy stood out, as I said earlier, he’d bought a ton of ad space in the Examiner and the Express for his demonstration two years ago in front of the Discovery building. Where he got said money? Good question. But the description went out, and something went “click” in my brain (which is pretty remarkable because I am on dilantin for a recent seizure, guess I am not so slow witted, am I?)

Good find.

Local female Fox reporter asks witness "Were you scared to death?"

Idiot!

[COBOL2Java]

Minor point, but it’s Silver Spring, MD, not Silver Springs...

[library user]

Back in 2008 a judge ordered him never to go 500 feet within the building. But maybe that restraining order expired ... don’t know.

Thanks for your replies.

If the mods. are pulling threads that are just in bad taste, this forum could shrink alarmingly!

Payers up for all the innocents in this hostage situation.
