Title: Discovery Channel Hostage-Taker Post by: fyo on September 01, 2010, 06:02:44 pm Wow... talk about nuts... This guy was into "saving the Earth", an admirable goal on the face of it, but is totally bonkers. Well, was, the police just killed him. From some of his online writings:
"Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is," he writes. "Saving the Planet means . . . decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies!" from: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/01/AR2010090104364.html (The article is behind an annoying login... like what the Miami Herald has just (re-)introduced...)

I was surprised to hear that it was an environmentalist. ...but then, I read a little of his manifesto and was like "oh...".
