The gunman, identified as 28-year-old Floyd Lee Corkins II, entered the lobby of the organization's Chinatown headquarters around 10:45 a.m. and expressed disagreement with the conservative group's policy positions, sources tell Fox News.

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 News 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."

Authorities were treating the attack as a case of domestic terrorism, although James McJunkin, the head of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, said authorities do not yet know the gunman's motive.

AP later confirmed that Corkins is a liberal activist who volunteers with a left-wing group in the D.C. area.

Not until after 6:30 p.m. ET did the White House respond. Obama finally commented, saying “this type of violence has no place in our society.” But a CNN tweet indicated, “WH says Pres. Obama was notified at 1:18pm of the Family Research Council shooting by national sec. adviser John Brennan.”

I thought President Obama's remarks today about stopping hate in the wake of this tragedy were especially well done.

Oh wait. He's said absolutely NOTHING.  :mad:

Maybe Obama took this tack, with the shooting:

Guilty: Homosexual activist admits sending death threats to pro-life, pro-marriage leader

http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/guilty-homosexual-activist-admits-sending-300-death-threats-to-pro-life-pro

Quote
NEW HAVEN, August 23, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Connecticut homosexual pled guilty on Tuesday to sending 300 threatening messages, including death threats, to the leader of a state pro-life, pro-marriage organization.

53-year-old Daniel Sarno of Enfield, Connecticut, admitted intimidating Peter Wolfgang, the executive director of the Family Institute of Connecticut, over a six-month period from last November until May.

One message read: “No mercy for homophobes. I suggest you make your funeral arrangements real soon, Mr. Wolfgang.”

Another said, “I sure hope somebody blows you away. Yer dead.”

Sarno once asked, “Are ‘family values’ worth dying for, Mr. Wolfgang?”

Wolfgang said Sarno identified himself as a homosexual in the letters, which came addressed “Attention: Peter Wolfgang.”

“Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident,” Wolfgang said in a statement e-mailed to LifeSiteNews.com. “In fact it is part of a growing and disturbing intimidation campaign among some proponents of same-sex ‘marriage.’ It is clear that their pretense of ‘tolerance’ is over.”

The conviction comes as other homosexual extremists have turned violent.

LGBT activist Floyd Corkins II shot security guard Leo Johnson at the Family Research Council’s headquarters last Wednesday after saying, “I don’t like your politics.”

In April, a group of self-proclaimed “angry queers” smashed the windows of a 100-year-old church in Oregon, because it opposes redefining marriage. “The only dialog we need with scum like Mars Hill [church] is hammers through their windows,” their note read.

Traditional Values Coalition President Andrea Lafferty told LifeSiteNews.com her organization has received “many, many threats from the homosexual and transgender community” dating as far back as the 1980s, but the Obama administration’s leadership “does not believe they need to protect us.”  Attorney General Eric Holder, she said, “has put Christians at a low priority.”

In Connecticut, everyone was happy things were resolved without violence.

“Using death threats to stifle debate is un-American,” Wolfgang said, promising to remain unbowed. “These types of tactics won’t work. The Family Institute of Connecticut will continue its work to strengthen and protect marriage, life and religious freedom.” He thanked local police for protecting his family members and employees.

The Hartford Courant blasted Wolfgang, even as it condemned threats of violence. The paper stated in an unsigned editorial, “Threats of violence don’t produce understanding. And it is a hypocrisy when those who plead for tolerance are themselves intolerant.”

Sarno plead guilty to two counts of mailing threatening material. He could receive up to 10 years in prison and a maximum of $500,000 in fines. U.S. District Judge Ellen Bree Burns set the sentencing hearing for next January 3 in New Haven.

True, that's just a byproduct of the gay rights movement being tied together with the political left, at least within the US. I agree with the ideal of same-sex marriage, but the gay rights movement often doesn't do itself any favours, as seen by floats at gay pride parades.

By a middle ground I meant a solution that would please the majority of people. I don't support threats of violence in regards to same-sex marriage, nor do most stable individuals.

The majority of Americans oppose gay marriage. You Canadians favor fags marrying fags. Do us a favor and stay out of our politics. It is none of your business. You and your kind can butt plug eachother till the cows come home for all I care.

If you look to please the most people, you will have to give up many if not all of your principles. If you have no principles, morals, ethics, it makes it a lot more simple to please a majority of people.

I see what you mean, I believe I said before that I stand firmer with some principles and views than others. If fossil fuel subsidies were an issue that was being debated, I'd stand by subsidising those industries 100%. If you don't want to compromise on any of your principles, I respect the moral integrity you have, I just value some views/policies more than others.
