Hello Global Grinders,

It’s Shay again. I know I wasn’t the only one who caught the evening news and saw the story about a ‘disgruntled’ man names James Jay Lee, who took the Discovery Channel headquarters hostage today?

In a way when I first saw the story on the news I chuckled a little beacause I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing. I continued to watch because I had to find out what was the REAL reason why this man was holding this building hostage. Come to find out he was a radical environmentalist who had a grudge against Discovery for years. ARE U FREAKIN’ SERIOUS?

What is the world coming to when just because a man dislikes programming on a tv station he goes and takes the headquarters hostage? I mean there are plenty of shows on tv that I dislike, but you’re not gonna catch me at their offices the next day wielding a gun.

It’s not my place to judge, but this man lost his life over his ‘grudge’ with Discovery Channel. I mean they weren’t paying his bills or putting food on his table so was his ’cause’ really that serious? I am sooooo glad that no one was harmed (even though the gunman was killed) I’m glad no innocent people were killed or injured.

I just hope no one uses this situation to go run and do another copycat, because we’ve seen examples of that all the time. It just really worries me how people are going to drastic measures now for such little things. My question to society …. What is the world really coming to? SMH
