One year ago on Thursday, a heavily armed homosexual activist, by his own words inspired by an anti-family diatribe posted on the website of the Southern Poverty Law Center, entered the Washington offices of the Family Research Council with the intention of killing “as many people as I could.”
The sentencing for Floyd Lee Corkins II, a volunteer at an LGBT community center who pleaded guilty to terrorism after his attack was halted with only one person injured, is expected this fall. But the targets in that attack still are wondering when – and if – there will be an accountability for the organization that Corkins admitted directed him to the pro-family advocates.
Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William G. “Jerry” Boykin is the FRC’s executive vice president, with oversight of daily operations such as policy, church ministries, finance, human resources and facilities.
He was one of the original members of the U.S. Army’s Delta Force and later commanded the Green Berets, so battle strategy is nothing new to him.
But he wonders about the current politically correct environment where organizations can pin a “hate” label on a group such as the FRC, and not face any consequences.
“One year after Floyd Lee Corkins attempted to commit mass murder at the Family Research Council, the SPLC is still recklessly labeling people and groups as Hate Mongers and Hate Groups, which clearly endangers those who have been labeled as it unquestionably incites people like Corkins to violence,” Boykin said.
“Corkins pled guilty to domestic terrorism after explaining to the judge in his federal trial, that he targeted FRC as a result of the SPLC Hate Map, yet nothing has been done regarding the dangerous and potentially deadly actions of SPLC. SPLC is now connected to terrorism in federal court. Yet no one in the mainstream media seems to care. When will the media hold groups like SPLC accountable?” Boykin said.
Corkins was subdued after shooting building manager Leo Johnson in the arm and injuring him. A video of the attack reveals Corkins entering the building and approaching Johnson, then leaning over to place his backpack on the floor. When he straightens up, Corkins points a handgun – a loaded semi-automatic – directly at Johnson and fires. More
