Imagine the additional charges for hate crime had a conservative shot Floyd Lee Corkins. The FRC shooter is being charged with assault with intent to kill and for bringing a firearm across state lines.
Corkins fired off shots in the FRC lobby, one of them hitting security guard, Leo Johnson, in the arm. Mr. Johnson, along with other security guards wrestled Corkins to the ground. The 28 year old suspect is quoted: “Don’t shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for.”
Corkins was armed with 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, a Sig Sauer 9mm pistol, two extra loaded magazines and a box of 50 rounds of ammo. It appears that he had in mind killing more than one person, but perhaps he just had a low opinion of his own marksmanship.
Leo Johnson is said to be recovering well. You can learn
a bit more about this steadfast guard HERE.
Floyd Corkins II has been arrested for the shooting of a security guard in the lobby of the Family Research Council, a socially conservative group based in Washington DC.
Corkins has been a volunteer at the LGBT Community Center in Washington DC for about a half year. Apparently the FRC’s stance on gay marriage, and in support of Chick-fil-A had served as an irritant to the shooter, although his motive is officially said to be unknown.
The security guard, who has been called a hero by the D.C. police chief, has been hospitalized, in stable condition. He had been shot in the arm when he stopped the gunman in the lobby. He then wrestled the suspect to the ground. The FBI is said to be investigating the incident.
Mary Gonzales used to be just a regular old lesbian, but now this former Texas State Rep advertizes as “Pansexual”. That means any warm body will do, doesn’t matter what sex it is, or what sexual identity it assumes at the moment, or how much surgical alteration has occurred. Gonzales will take ’em all.
Pharmer guesses that it’s kind of like having beer goggles on….. all day long! Every morning after is a surprise!
We have some indication that Chick-Fil-A hasn’t been worrying about their employee’s private sex lives in the above article. But worklife is different now. Gays working for the company have been caught in the middle of the leftie war against their company, which was touched off by CEO Dan Cathy’s personal belief about gay marriage.
Apparently the homosexual employees are either getting blamed for hating gays, because of the gay marriage issue, or being thanked for opposition to it.
Some of what they hear is off point and crazy: “I hope you choke on your chicken” and either support or opposition because “your company hates gays”.
The situation of homosexual employees at Chick-fil-A brings home the point that everyone’s lives would be easier, including the those of gays, if the lefties would quit their war on freedom of religion. We notice that the lefties prefer to attack Christians, for opposing gay marriage, while at the same time supporting the sects of Muslims who chop the heads off of homosexuals.
Adam Smith, former CFO/Treasurer of Vante Inc in Tuscon Arizona was likely one of those employees who caused his employer to look for an excuse to fire him. This man was actually fired for public behavior which he exhibited outside of the workplace, on his own time.
If a guy is so clueless as to make a video of himself berating a Chick-Fil-A drivethrough employee about the personal beliefs of her company’s CEO, one could expect his behavior at his own job to be atrocious. When Smith planted the video below on Youtube, his company grabbed the opportunity to lose an employee who was probably everyone’s least favorite.
Watch Adam Smith in action, and observe the drive through employee resolutely sticking to her polite customer service script.
Update:Adam Smith is suffering from the after effects of his viral video. He states that his company did not allow him to explain his actions before terminating him, and that he’s been getting hate mail and death threats since he published his activism at the Chick-fil-A drive through.
Smith credited this inspirational video utilizing a verse from Proverbs 25:21 as a mechanism for draining resources from the fast food franchise for mobilizing him to action. It appears that Adam Smith had found a woman’s skirt that turned out not to be large enough to hide behind. If you’re not tired of leftist abuse of the Old Testament, you can listen to Jackson Pearce, who does not understand the reasons for the social recognition of marriage: to protect children.
Meanwhile, it’s important to remember that gays can get married any time they want to. It’s their private decision, and there are plenty of clergy which will officiate. However it becomes the business of the public when homosexuals desire to obtain the social support system relegated to protect children which naturally are produced from heterosexual unions.
Mike Opelka at the Blaze is following this story as it unfolds. The very impulsive Adam Smith is living with a bit of hate email, (something which occurs routinely to right wing activists), and is said to have developed some concern for the drive through employee whose life has also been affected by his viral video.
Update 2: Adam Smith guns for a new job as a political activist in this newer video in which he grovels out an apology to the drive through order taker at Chick-fil-A, and issues some explanations for the behaviors which were inconsistent with his stated motives. He also apologizes for denying homosexuality in the first video, and states that if he were a closeted gay, he’d be proud. His wife and kids must be sooo impressed.
Do you think Mr. Smith is too much a drama queen to be the treasurer of a serious corporation? Ya, Vante Inc. probably did the right thing for self preservation. He should take his confused self to the major “news” networks.
You can click on the photo gallery below to see a collection of crowded Chick-Fil-A restaurants on Aug 1. Americans are responding to a statement that Chick-Fil-A does not represent Chicago values, and efforts to prevent restaurants from being opened there and in Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and San Francisco.
All over the U.S. the 1600 Chick-Fil-A restaurants have been enjoying booming business, and even some referrals from competing fast food places, on this Appreciation Day.
Click here for some Commentaryat Hillbuzz concerning the Tamminator’s pilgrimage to Chick-Fil-A at the University of Minnesota. The place was packed despite school being in summer session, and massive construction occurring outside. The Tamminator, who believes in the First Amendment, sez: “Freedom is delicious!”
The children’s entertainment company which brings you the Muppets is ending its partnership with Chick-fil-A due to the latter company’s CEO supporting Traditional Marriage.
Henson’s company has been a supporter of Gay Marriage, and the money which it has obtained through partnership to Chick-fil-A will be donated to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation- GLAAD.
Eat more Chicken!
With such a strong stance against Traditional Marriage, perhaps the Jim Henson Company is not a suitable purveyor of entertainment to very young children.
There is conjecture about the reasons for a relative reduction in female attendance at the annual TAM gathering of skeptics. This year, women only comprise 31 percent of the 1200 attendees, compared to 40 percent at last years meeting. Reasons given range from the declining economy to typically female duties as caregivers. Men outnumber females in the Atheist or skeptic category, but it appears that the disparity might be increasing.
Another possible reason for the reduced attendance, judging from the gossip at online forums and blogs are reports of sexual harassmen, sexism and unwanted touching at the meetings. This has led to the institution of sexual harassment policies in various skeptic associations, and pressure on the TAM leadership to do the same. TAM has hired an outside consultant to address matters of sexual harassment.
The fallout among Black Christians who oppose Obama’s stance on gay marriage is beginning to get serious.
The Coalition of African American Pastors have demanded a meeting with Obama, so far to no avail. Reverend Bill Owens asks why Obama is refusing to meet with men of faith, of his own race. Coalition leaders are ready to ask members of their congregations to refrain from voting for Obama if he continues in his refusal to meet with them.
