A security guard at the Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C., was shot in the arm by a gunman who sources said expressed disagreement with the conservative group's policy positions.

The guard, who was not identified, was conscious after the shooting and was being treated. The shooting occurred in the Chinatown neighborhood Wednesday morning. The gunman was apprehended and was being questioned by the FBI, sources said. Sources said he is in his twenties and may have been posing as an intern.

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.

The Human Rights Campaign apparently thinks the Family Research Council is a "hate group", as labeled by the Southern Poverty Law Center. I get the FRC newsletter by email and this characterization from the HRC web site appears to be a bogus smear campaign.

"Paul Ryan Speaking at Hate Group’s Annual Conference"

"...GOP presumptive VP nominee Paul Ryan will speak at the Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit next month. The gathering is taking place in Washington, D.C. and is drawing other anti-LGBT names including Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum. Liberty University and the American Family Association are among the other groups sponsoring the event....The FRC has been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. It’s a group that has advocated for the criminalization of homosexuality, called for LGBT people to be exported from the U.S., and has pushed dangerous lies trying to link being gay to pedophilia."

“has pushed dangerous lies trying to link being gay to pedophilia.”

THIS IS NOT A LIE. IT IS THE TRUTH!!! And by the way, studies of serial killers show that not only do they share in common a pattern of cruelty to animals, they also tend to be HOMOSEXUAL. The media will tell you about the first, but not he second. Guess why???/s

The problem I see....is if you are mentally deranged to start with (on meds, etc)....then the entire discussion for a hate crime is null and void. You could put this guy into the same jail as the Tucson or Aurora guys.
