What is this Pizzagate scandal being thrown around by Alex Jones?

There's some extremely graphic videos and images being posted around Youtube right now by Alex Jones fans and I'm wondering what is this and why should we care? Does anyone know about it? What is going on?

BTW, I reported the original video posted by Alex Jones for inciting hate speech.

We have to deal with them, and any violent responses coming from them, and there are more Alex Jones fans than rational minds want to admit.

I think we need thorazine in aerosol form, there has been a mass break out from several mental hospitals or the nuts are coming out of the woodwork now.

I'm going to start flagging every single video Alex Jones posts as inciting hate speech. Hopefully Youtube will notice and kick him off.

except for the gold plated, ermine padded ones the rich use. All the inmates were thrown out on the street to fend for themselves with no money for the drugs they didn't want to take, anyway.

Is anyone surprised they vote Republican when they can get it together to vote?
