Given the demonizing and gutter politics of President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and other liberals, the shooting at a conservative think tank offices is not surprising.
From Fox News:
A security guard at the Family Research Council's headquarters in
Washington, D.C. is being hailed as a hero after he stopped a gunman
posing as an intern, taking a bullet in the arm before wrestling the
suspect to the ground.
The gunman entered the lobby of the organization's Chinatown
headquarters around 10:45 and expressed disagreement with the
conservative group's policy positions, Fox News has learned. When the
guard, who was not identified, asked him where he was going, he opened
fire, according to police.
“The security guard here is a hero, as far as I’m concerned,” D.C.
Police Chief Cathy Lanier said. ”He did his job. The person never made
it past the front.”
The guard, who was not identified, was shot in the arm and was
conscious after the shooting and was in stable condition. The gunman,
who also was not identified, was being questioned by the FBI, sources
said. Sources said he is in his twenties.
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 New 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."
I would say this guy was just crazy, but it doesn't appear to be the case as he knew where he was and why he was doing the shooting.
I certainly hope Obama and his ilk step back and look at the damage they are doing when they are out campaigning and their actions have consequences. I also hope that Obama and his followers will apologize for their behavior and disavow this thug's behavior.
"Conservative think tank?" Hardly. The FRC (like most organizations with "family" in its name) exists solely to torment gay people. They are a hate group. The guy who went there and started shooting was wrong, and it is indefensible. But let's not martyr this hateful organization.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not following your conclusion at all. . .how is Obama/Biden responsible for a gunman? Isn't the FRC and its leader Tony Perkins culpable at all for the hate they throw out? Obviously they don't deserve to be SHOT, but c'mon, Dan.
ReplyDeleteThe Obama campaign and their surrogates have been extremely vile in their campaigning lately and they have been riling up their supporters with demonizing conservatives and the rich. You complain about talk radio but the Obama campaign is far more over the line than Limbaugh and Hannity.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with you Dan.
