Breaking: Shooting at Family Research Council office in DC
The Washington Examiner ^ | 8/15/2012 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 08/15/2012 9:09:28 AM PDT by Palmetto Patriot

Two people, including one security guard, were shot at the office of the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., this morning.

“The police are investigating this incident,” said FRC President Tony Perkins in a statement on the shooting. “Our first concern is with our colleague who was shot today. Our concern is for him and his family.”

The shooter was also reportedly shot, according to a local news report, which notes that the FBI is at the scene.

The Family Research Council is a socially-conservative non-profit that participates in cultural debates about abortion, traditional marriage, and religious liberty.

It’s not a long leap from having a completely distorted, humanist worldview to being a total lunatic.

I agree with you. When you watch some of these libtard talking heads on the news shows, like Maddow, Chrissy, O'Donnel and Olberman, with their frothing at the mouth like a rabid dog and spewing ultra hatred, you just see the violence inside waiting for an excuse to be unleashed. Mentally disturbed all.

Details are coming out:

“The suspect “made statements regarding their policies, and then opened fire with a gun striking a security guard,” a source told Fox News. WJLA-TV7 reported the suspect was also shot.”

“Sources also said the gunman may have been carrying a bag from Chick-fil-A, the embattled fast-food restaurant whose president came under fire from gay activists after he said he did not agree with same-sex marriage.”

“Sources told Fox News that after guard took away his gun, the suspect said, “Don't shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for.”

A vicious, sniveling little creep and coward. In other words, a typical representative of leftist masculinity, if you can call it that.

According to Pete Williams' story on NBC News website:

The suspect’s name has not been released, but officials said he is from nearby Herndon, Va., and was born in 1984. A photographer who saw the suspect being arrested describes him as a 6-foot-3, 250-pound black male.

Take it with a pound of salt, though. This is the MSM I'm quoting.

Just one more comment... The photographer who saw the suspect... did he forget he was a photographer when he saw the suspect? Why no photo?

True- but they do not hold to this in theory nor action. The liberal support of “diversity” and “tolerance” always and everywhere attacks the Christian and the traditionalist. They would say that this is for the good of “progress”.

Sources also said the gunman may have been carrying a bag from Chick-fil-A,

That would be pretty big news. I was telling my daughter that I was surprised nobody's shot up a Chick-fil-A yet. This would come close.

A law enforcement official said at one point in the scuffle, the shooter expressed views that differed from those of the Family Research Council. The official also said the shooter was carrying a bag that had a Chick-Fil-A bag inside.

... They [authorities] still are uncertain of a motive, they said.

Really? Really?

A CFA was vandalized. I’m surprised more of these haven’t happened.

Basically, "they had it coming", "what goes around comes around", "swoop in and kill all the hatemongers in one big go and simply eradicate them."

Spoken like a true hate monger.

Yeah, it always comes down to Christ vs anti-Christ, ultimately.

But, it’s kinda fun to engage them once in a while and logically force them to be consistent in their espoused beliefs and show them the contradiction. But stand back, sometimes their heads explode.

Usually in their argument for relativism, they appeal to some form of absolute (consensus), and pointing that out to them leaves them spluttering.

By now in the Gabby Gifford shooting -

The democrats and the 99.9% democrat media were all blaming Sarah Palin and the “targets” (map symbols) on her website

6’3” and 250 pounds - sounds like he was better with eating food that using a handgun

Somewhere on this thread someone posted he had multiple guns and mucho ammo

I am surprised they did not use Ryan’s photograph and Obama’s baby pictures.....

No, no, no. The correct MSM agitprop terminology is "high capacity magazine." Learn it, know it, love it, as this is where they are directing their future mission. When they start ululating "Whyyyyyyy should anyone be allowed to own a high capacity magazeeeeeeeeeen????" Then the correct response is: "Ask the Korean shop owners in Los Angeles why."

then these nuts and that site should be reported and if TV Pundits actually get some balls then they need to tell their viewers.

Also i’m off to CNN, NBC, ABC etc and asking them in no uncertain terms as to why they ae not reporting all of this and linking this to certain speeches which have been made recently and why they refuse to show the hate from the radical hate bigoted groups on the left.

their sites and their conversations have been getting more and mroe radical recently and our side have never done a damn thing, people like Hannity, talk radio, perino , Rove etc have left social issues alone thus letting the left spew their hate, their bigotry and their violence.

MMMMMMM DOJ, HOLDER WHERE ARE YOU?

Spoken like a true National Socialist! It's amazing - the same idiots that called our former President "Bushitler" and yet, they are the ones emulating the SS stormtroopers in NAZI Germany.

From WJLA-TV:

"A suspect in the shooting of a security guard at the headquarters of a downtown D.C. conservative Christian lobbying firm criticized the group's anti-gay stance before opening fire, a source tells ABC7."

Family Research Council shooting leaves security guard wounded

(Putting on a lefty, hand-wringing, MSM hat I found in the gutter recently)...

this alleged black man heard Joe Biden's warning that the conservatives want to put him in chains, and he decided to fight back.
