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.

I was wondering when the leftards would start shooting.

Family Research Council was founded by James Dobson of Focus on the Family.

Gary Bauer, who ran for president in 2000 (?) ran the organization for a decade or so.

Prayers for everyone.

The violent communist sodomite democrats have been telling their deranged followers for weeks that the family research council is a “hate group” supported by the evil Chick-fil-a.

Per Fox News:

“The suspect “made statements regarding their policies, and then opened fire with a gun striking a security guard,” a source told Fox News.

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

How is that possible? Criminals can't buy guns in this country! There's a Brady Background Check!

WASHINGTON — A security guard for a conservative Christian lobbying group has been shot in the arm.

Police say the shooting happened Wednesday morning at the headquarters of the Family Research Council and that one person has been taken into custody. The FBI is also responding. The motive of the shooting was unclear.

The guard is conscious and breathing.

When will the Southern Poverty Law Center list the Southern Poverty Law Center as a “hate group”.

To answer your question: NO, they won’t go quietly. It wouldn’t surprise me if they try something at the RNC, or when any GOP politician shows up anywhere.

Some say bring cameras.

I say: We’re at war, people. Its time our side started acting like it.

Well, at least they got that right, since that is the definition of domestic terrorism.
