Just when you thought it was safe to buy some HRC chapstick

Someone goes and robs the Human Right's Campaign's Action Center and Store.

"An unidentified gunman on Jan. 18 bound and blind-folded an employee at the Human Rights Campaign’s Action Center and Store near Dupont Circle after hitting him repeatedly in the head with a pistol and forcing him to turn over money from a cash register and safe, according to a D.C. police report."

It's not billed as a hate crime, though the lone store employee was beaten before passing out while the gunman took $400 from the safe. Sometimes I hate people.

Thanks Washington Blade.
