Gunman Demands Discovery Channel Save Planet

And this is why we should put our defense budget into NASA. If we don't colonize Mars, or even put some population into space, we're kinda screwed here on Earth.

Of all channels to pick, im surprised he picked who he did, i think that the discovery channel network does a pretty good job of trying to save the planet with Planet Earth and Shark Week

one less human parasite.. thats for sure

the irony...

I heard he also threw $20,000 off of the building in his past protest. I wish I was there XD

the earth can only support so many humans, thats why we need space exploration! if only we can restart project orion, we can go to mars in a matter of days, or the next star system in about 40 years a 10% lightspeed. what can be more awesome than nuclear explosion riding ships?(answer: antimatter explosion riding ships)

You promote guns and warfare on your channel! Therefore, I will run in with a gun, try to kill you and explode your building, because bombs create no harmful debris and guns are definitely the weapon of an enviromental activist.
Also, ben BOys stop trolling.
I'd prefer it if this was the only guy to threaten to destroy the discovery channel if they don't change their programming (although history channel does need more history on it, I'll arrange an attack on that building)

He has some major points... sadly those that watch the Discovery channel are probably the ones that care already... the people he needed to reach are on the tabloid networks that probably would tune him out anyway =( I commend his effort... but were there really any bombs?

discovery has taken a huge dive in actual science based stuff since the 1990's. I would like to see better shows than mythbusters and shit like that. where the hell did bill nye the science guy go?!?!

Well his heart was i the right place, his idea was terrible. Killing people never solved anything. *coughs* except it solved the problem of having him kill others.

admittedly saving the planet could go faster, but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be done so extremely or so insanely.

it is ironic that he chose discovery chanel considering there programing is probly why he decided he wanted to be a enviormental activist. im asuming there was a history of mental illness in this case.

on another note 10% speed of light dosnt get you anywhere in 40years zackary k any atenpt to go to other planets would have to use a spining wheel desigh to creat a sintrifical gravity and would sertenitly have to be a multi-generation ship.

Enviro-nazi's at their purest. This just goes to show how sick and hypocritical some of these people can be. Angry at the Discovery channel for airing shows about guns and warfare... so he storms the building with a gun and some bombs. Yeah. Brilliant. You really showed them!! What a sicko.

i find it funny how he keeps saying the world doesnt need humans, the world doesnt need anything since its just a big ball of molten iron. i recon bugger the planet since eventually we'll goto mars & we'll take what life is left with us. i think spreading life to different planets is far more important then keeping it all on the 1 planet waiting for a giant asteroid to come and spoil it.

I was just going to correct you and say the greater and lesser magellanic clouds were the closest...but then while looking up how to spell magellanic because I am a terrible speller I read about the canis major dwarf galaxy which is within our own galaxy and 25,000 light years away from us.....well played sir, well played. I suppose all I have is that wormholes are not possible with modern technology because we have no idea how to create one, keep it open, get the the other side to be where we want, or if they are even possible because no practical experiments have ever been done....so yea

save teh planet or me is will shoot all yor asses !!!

Finally: someone wanting to rid the planet of humanity and setting the example by starting with themselves.

The dolts that think colonizing Mars would be easy have absolutely no understanding of it.

Problem one - atmosphere. You can't keep a thick atmosphere on Mars. It's got no magnetic field, so the solar wind rips the atmosphere from the planet. It's also got less gravity to begin with.

You'd have to keep outgassing, which, of course, would keep lowering the mass of the planet, making it harder and harder to keep an atmosphere.

Since Earth is denser, and has a larger core, it's not even clear how strong a magnetic field you could create, if you could somehow find a way to liquefy the core of Mars. Of course, finding enough water for life would be difficult, and of course, it would keep getting ripped by the solar wind.

In short, it's not going to happen any time in the time frame where human overpopulation problems need to be met. At least at the rate we're going.

Carbon dioxide based global warming isn't a bad thing. It's actually the answer for overpopulation, since plants grow much faster with it, and growing seasons are longer. They also keep sucking it out of the air, faster as more gets in there, so it's not a bottomless pit, unless we keep killing plants.

Humans are parasites. Pretty much all animals are. Life begins and ends with plants. That's where most energy comes from, from fueling our cells, to making our cars go (Uranium, solar power, wind power, hydroelectric are exceptions, but make up a small portion of energy harnessed today, and you can't eat them). So, what do we do? We keep cutting down forests and killing plants. As long as plants are thriving, the planet can heal itself. When we destroy this, we've gone to being a parasite to being a cancer - and we die with the organism we killed.

It's easy to say colonize other planets, etc..., but the answer is to save Earth. It starts and ends with plants.

Id like to know how that nutjob got his hands on a pistol... $20 says a grey / black market deealer and not the legal way. That being a local gun show or gun store. Also lol @ his tofu bombs.

Ah, more right-wing violence.

Glad he's dead, if he really want a channel to show all environmental stuff, he should make the channel himself, but I wonder how many people will pay for it.

Of all the channels, why didn't he pick on National Geographic?

Anyway, one less nutjob, if he had set the bombs off did he have any idea how much CO2 would have been produced?

"Saving the Planet means saving what's left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population."

Okay, done.
