When Morris Dee founded his place in 1972, sure, it had a sort of a Kennedy liberal kind of vibe to it, right?

But it was also dealing with people, you know, in the Southern Poverty Law Center, right? It seems like a very paternalistic organization. Outstanding is a production of the Washington Stand, your source for news and commentary from a biblical worldview.

Welcome to Outstanding, the podcast where we look at outstanding issues in the news and how they affect our lives from a biblical worldview.

I'm Jared Bridges, editor-in-chief of the Washington Stand, and I'll be your

host for today's episode. On the morning of August 15th, 2012 in Washington, D.C., family research

council building manager Leo Johnson was manning the security desk when a man requested

entrance to talk to someone about an internship.

Upon entering the building, the man put his backpack on the ground, causing Leo to become suspicious.

As the unarmed Leo came around the guard desk to check the man's ID, the man pulled a Sig Sauer 9mm pistol from his backpack. Leo immediately charged

toward the man and eventually wrestled the gun from the attacker, but that was after the gunman

shot Leo in the arm, an injury which cost Leo months of recovery, but Leo was still able to

subdue the attacker. After authorities arrived, they found

100 rounds of ammunition and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches in the Gumman's backpack, which he later

confessed that he intended to stuff into the faces of the people he shot. In interviews with the FBI,

and as he was convicted in court for domestic terrorism, the LGBT activist gunman said he had targeted FRC because of his biblical views on marriage.

The gunman had learned about FRC and its location through a so-called hate map that he had found online at the website of an organization

called the Southern Poverty Law Center. The organization's hate map listed the locations of

what it called hate groups, and the terrorists had used this intel to target FRC and several

other like-minded organizations. Following the attack,

the Southern Poverty Law Center, or SPLC, as it's known, did not take down their hate

map, nor did they remove FRC from the map. They doubled down, and their hate map is still

online today over a decade later. And if you look at the map. They doubled down, and their hate map is still online today over a decade later.
