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.

Yep and Holder’s ‘people’ in the black panthers that he refused to prosecute are now calling on blacks to kill white babies and people at the RNC convention. They want blood in the streets. I truly think we need to prosecute the SPLC for inciting this violence.

A photographer who saw the suspect being arrested describes him as a 6-foot-3, 250-pound black male.

Well this pretty much assures that he won't be prosecuted by Holder's "justice" department.

Let me guess the shooter was wearing a Obama T-shirt or something like that, that is why we haven’t seen any pictures of the shooter.

they labeled it “domestic terrorism” so they can cover it up.

I thought it was the end of the beginning.

Or perhaps it is just the middle of the middle?

This is a political shooting, not a shooting of random people by an unhinged person.

This shooter is probably unhinged as well, but he was directed to the target by the drumbeat from the “gay” community that the eeeeevil FRC was a receiver of money from Chick-fil-a.

These Humanist’s are in fact dangerous, when their heads explode. Many of them can’t handle ANY conflicting facts, and if their world view is under threat, they will lash out.

I’ve always enjoyed getting them to say that “There is no truth”, I, of course reply with “Is that true ?”

I think most are simply misguided. They don’t know the evil roots of their philosophy, and somehow find a small “safe place” where they feel the can belong.

You are correct with regards to the Christ Vs. Anti-Christ position.

Their Christ will be our anti-Christ, and given how institutionalized Satan has become, I’m afraid the logical extension of our current trajectory is inevitable.

I agree.

Don’t forget the VA Tech dry run and the Ohio thing/bridge, etc.

Not surprised....we’ll see this more and more and more.

Our decent into armed Fiefdoms is coming quicker than I thought, though of course a few incidents don’t show a tidal wave just yet.

Heavily armed “loyal men” will be needed everywhere for even basic safety.

This is the very slow start.... 10 years... I pray we don’t have a flood.

Just another left-wing extremist, neo-NAZI, white separatist, skin-head, militia, Obama voter./

I don't get that at all. Can anyone explain this connection, which appeared the same in the Sikh tragedy?

Those comments are truly disturbing. I have a hard time believing that those people actually put those thoughts to writing, and with their name attached even.

Ever considered that they may be paid agents of the left, or one of the campaigns, even? Do I need to say which one?

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

Lifenews reported that the attacker was a man posing as an intern.

Peter Parker did the same thing in the new Spider-Man movie to sneak into a research facility.

Authorities were treating the attack as a case of domestic terrorism.”

As they should. If nothing else - it's definitely a hate crime.

NBC and ABC7 identified him as 28-year-old Floyd Corkins of Virginia. Fox News obtained photos of the man, apparently taken by a witness, that show the suspect in handcuffs and his bloody shirt fully unbuttoned.

The Associated Press reports that according to DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier, a man, later identified as Floyd Corkins, of Herndon, Va., walked into the Family Research Council and was confronted by a security guard. He then shot the guard.

AP reports the guard and others wrestled the man to the ground before FBI agents took him into custody.

According to Ryan Reilly of TPM, Corkins is not registered to vote in Virginia.
