πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡² Washington, DC: Floyd Lee Corkins was a gay activist who was triggered by the SPLC list of hate groups. So he went to the one: the near-by Family Research Council. He took a handgun, two extra magazines of ammo, and sandwiches from Chick-fil-A to smear in the faces of his victims and opened fire at the local FRC office: fortunately he only hit one security guard who disarmed and apprehended him. If a conservative had done that after a sermon at a church or based on anything a conservative group said, that group would be listed as a domestic terrorist organization by SPLC, and the media would trash that organization. Since it was the SPLC, the story was buried and the tone was, "you can't use a fanatic to misrepresent a whole cause", a standard never applied to the right.

πŸ€ͺRadical Gay Activism

A gay activist who was triggered by the SPLC list of hate groups. So he went to the one: the near-by Family Research Council. He took a handgun, two extra magazines of ammo, and sandwiches from Chick-fil-A to smear in the faces of his victims and opened fire at the local FRC office: fortunately he only hit one security guard who disarmed and apprehended him. So it's not a real mass murder: just an attempted one.
  • Politics: left / gay activist.
❌ Gun Control/Assault Weapon can't help: used a pistol

βœ… Treat leftist hate sites (SPLC) like they were right wing ones
βœ… Pay attention to warning signs
βœ… Improved mental health policies

πŸ—’οΈ NOTE:
I'm pro-Gay Marriage myself and had been since the 1980's, so while I don't agree with the FRC's position, they are not close to a hate group. Nor are 99% of those who oppose gay marriage: either organizations or individuals. Trying to do so, it the left trying to bully/intimidate others into silence. Which is also a form of hate.
