Family Research Council shooting suspect had 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches in bag, FBI says
Floyd Lee Corkins II, the suspect in Wednesday's shooting at the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the Family Research Council, was carrying 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches in a bag when he opened fire, according to the criminal complaint filed by the Justice Department on Thursday.
Corkins, 28, of Herndon, Va., was charged with "interstate transportation of a firearm and ammunition"—a federal offense—along with the "intent to kill while armed." The offenses carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison for transportation of a weapon, and 30 years for intent to kill. Corkins is expected to make an initial court appearance later Thursday.
According to the FBI affidavit, Corkins' parents said their son "has strong opinions with respect to those he believes do not treat homosexuals in a fair manner." According to The Associated Press, Corkins "had been volunteering recently at a community center for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people."
Corkins legally purchased the handgun he used in the shooting—a Sig Sauer 9mm pistol—in Virginia last week, the FBI said.

Yeah, I read about this yesterday, though I didn't know about the sandwiches. 15, huh?
Wonder what he was gonna do with them... :think:
That's a fact, people. It's only good science. :ugeek:
Who said that?
Plenty of ass holes to go around on all sides.
I just hope the brave security guard makes a speedy and full recovery, and I'm glad nobody else was harmed or killed. And I hope the poor guy gets a raise or something.

really
Again... This was a seriously disturbed person and I'm not going to make excuses for what he may have done, if the story that we're getting is accurate... But I'll admit that seeing all those gleeful smiling faces supporting a company that bragged about donating to recognized hate groups was pretty jarring and mixed with someone unbalanced, it's only a matter of time before things like this happen.
And as far as it being a liberal/conservative thing, do we even low if the guy who shot up the movie theater had any political leaning at all?

People in this thread (not you) are losing their minds. THIS IS NOT FUNNY.

I think the reason they are saying he is a liberal guy is because he volunteers for a LGBTQ non-profit and as we all know you must be liberal to work with those people.
( i hope people can sense that I am being sarcastic on that last line)
do you mind elaborating on this?
Of course the guy is nuts. Most of these guys are nuts. Be it they are obsessed with conservative politics, liberal politics, or Miss Piggy ... first and foremost they are nuts.
Typically I do not make light of shootings, but no one was seriously injured and the guy had 15 chicken sandwiches with him. (i know, that makes me a monster).
They're all terms related to "black and white" thinking. I'm poking fun at the OP's assertion that liberals believe only right wing nut cases are capable of going berserk. But as Johnny Abruzzo pointed out, the issue is not funny so I should not jest.

Anyway, I admit to having a sick sense of humor sometimes and frankly, I'm unapologetic for it. It can help to maintain sanity.
I also appreciate it in others, as in the bolded part up there. Sorry, but that's fuckin hilarious.
Doesn't equate to heartlessness - not even close.
Seems like, in this day and age, where there's a new whacko shooting people up every week it seems, maybe it's not something to joke about.
Guy carrying around 15 Chick-fil-a sandwiches. Ok, it's kind of funny, but not really if he was going to use them as calling cards.
I don't know. I like sick jokes as much as the next guy, but I thought this went a little too far.

Sometimes it's a laugh-or-cry type of thing (especially recently), and I choose to laugh - have to.
Like I said, sanity-maintenance.
