The <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/guard-shot-at-family-research-council-headquarters-in-d.c.\/article\/2504991#.UCv-CqMsFDB\">Washington Examiner<\/a> reports; <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A man walked into the lobby at about 10:45 a.m. and was confronted by the security guard as per the organization&#8217;s policy, D.C. police Chief Cathy Lanier said. The man opened fire, and the guard was hit in the arm before he and other security guards tackled the shooter,&#8221; Lanier said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As far as I&#8217;m concerned, the security officer here is a hero,&#8221; Lanier said. &#8220;The persona never made it past him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A suspect was taken into custody, and the man was uninjured, Lanier said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I really don&#8217;t see how this could happen, I mean DC has the most stringent laws for having a handgun in one&#8217;s possession in the country and yet &#8211; viola &#8211; someone had a gun. And it&#8217;s doubtful that it was one of those right wing gun nuts on a rampage clinging to God;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Family Research Council is a Christian advocacy group that advocates against abortion and same-sex marriage, among other issues.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Andthis is probably the last time you&#8217;ll see <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/shooting-family-research-councils-d-c-headquarters-wounds-161053159.html\">the Leftist press<\/a> not speculating on the reasons for the attack;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>There&#8217;s still no information indicating the shooting had anything to do with FRC or its politics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But if had been Planned Parenthood or Speak Out, there&#8217;d be speculation from here to New England. I guess no one can believe that one of their Leftists would start shooting up some offices somewhere. And carrying a gun illegally in the bastion of gun control. <\/p>\n<p>But <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2012\/08\/15\/us\/dc-shooting\/index.html?eref=rss_mostpopular\">CNN says<\/a> differently;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A law enforcement official said the gunman, described as a man in his late 20s, made some remarks about the Family Research Council before opening fire. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess &#8220;remarks&#8221; aren&#8217;t indicative to his motive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADDED: <\/strong>OK, I&#8217;m going to stir the pot a little; Did the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.splcenter.org\/get-informed\/intelligence-files\/groups\/family-research-council\">Southern Poverty Law Center<\/a> influence the gunman at the Family Research Council;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/FRC-Hate-map.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/FRC-Hate-map-300x190.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"FRC Hate map\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-31534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/FRC-Hate-map-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/FRC-Hate-map.jpg 649w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Certainly, if Rush Limbaugh influenced Tim McVeigh, SPLC can be held culpable for for this douche.
