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.

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.

Seriously, who holds the people at the Discovery Channel hostage for anything?
People looking for their hostage situation to become a long-running reality series.

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!

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.

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.
