Original Story: Another liberal assault on conservatives? How would the liberal media handle this if the situation were the reverse?
A security guard for a conservative Christian group, Family Research Council, was shot in the arm this morning. The guard wrestled the shooter to the ground. Thankfully, the security guard is okay and he’s recuperating at a hospital. The guard is a hero.
The FBI is investigating it as a possible act of domestic terrorism. The FBI does not know the shooter’s mental state or his motives until they investigate further.
The Family Research Council advocates conservative positions on social issues and strongly opposes gay marriage and abortion. The President, Tony Perkins has been an outspoken supporter of Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy’s public stand against same-sex marriage, which made the fast-food chain a flashpoint in the nation’s culture wars. The Cathy family foundation has funded the Family Research Council.
The guard was a hero who stopped the gunman from opening fire on the conservative crowd.

Sources told Fox News that after the guard took away his gun, the suspect said, “Don’t shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for.”
