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 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 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."

“Don’t shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for.”

Boy is he fortunate he attacked a Christian organization that is willing to show mercy. Elsewhere, he might not have gotten off so easily.

I reserve my right to “rise to the bait”.
The very last thing I ever want to see happen is another USA Civil War.

It seems our federal government has become extremely comfortable and proficient in promoting Civil wars in many other nations.

Why not here at home?

Take another look at the photo. He isn’t fully white. Could be part Hispanic or Black, but he isn’t white enough to be a full Brownshirt like the gay epehobophile Ernst Roehm.

I fear this is but the start of measured violence and assassinations conducted by the left upon the Tea Parties and Conservative. This is to cause so much confusion that the elections can be cancelled. I fear some nut case might even assassinate Mitt and Paul! I put nothing past them. When they lose—it will get worse! Lets hope I am wrong.

More and more I am becoming convinced that we will have to employ the Bill Ayers solution in reverse. After we shoot a couple hundred thousand far left progressives a lot of the Democrats with out their daily dose of lies might start thinking and, as a nation, we can return to rule by law.
