Deranged Domestic Terrorist Who Shot Up Conservative Org’s Headquarters – Got Info from Far Left Website

Haters will hate.
A LGBT volunteer carrying bag of Chick-fil-A sandwiches  shot up the conservative Family Research Council headquarters in August 2012.

The armed man who walked into the Washington headquarters of the Family Research Council and shot a security guard was later identified as Floyd Corkins, 28, of Virginia.   Fox News reported that Corkins posed as an intern and was carrying a Chick-fil-A bag with him during the attack.
He admitted he got his information from the far left Southern Poverty Law Center website.
LifeNews reported:

In a Washington, D.C. courtroom today, Floyd Lee Corkins, II, pleaded guilty to three charges associated with his shooting a security guard at the national headquarters of a pro-life group. The guilty plea included a District of Columbia charge of committing an act of terrorism.”

The charges stem from the August 15, 2012 shooting at the Family Research Council’s headquarters.

Today’s hearing also revealed that in the interview with the FBI right after the shooting, the shooter admitted his guilt, which was captured on video. Corkins said he intended to “kill as many as possible and smear the Chick-Fil-A sandwiches in victims’ faces, and kill the guard.” The prosecutor said they reviewed the family computer and found that he identified his targets on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s web site.

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins later told FOX News that the far left Southern Poverty Law Center was responsible for creating the climate for the shooting.
