Citizen Shoots Up DC Pizza Place To Investigate Hillary Clintons Child Sex Ring, As One Does.

Facepalm safely, everyone.
The Internet Idiot ConspiracySphere and real life collided Sunday, this time resulting in actual gunfire, but happily no injuries or loss of life. Seems a heavily armed North Carolina gentleman, Edgar Maddison Welch, just had to find out for himself whether there was any truth to fake internet stories about a child sex ring being run by Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, and several thousand others, all operating out of a Washington DC pizza place, Comet Ping Pong. So he did the logically natural thing: He drove to DC, went into the restaurant with two guns, pointed a gun at an employee, fired at least one shot into the floor, and after employees and customers fled, commenced to investigate whether there was any pedophile slave ring evidence to be found in the restaurant. You know, like the network of tunnels and sex dungeons under the restaurant that a bunch of Trumpers, with an assist from Wikileaks, said was definitely there. You really cant blame the guy. He read it on the internet, after all.
Welch was arrested without further incident after scaring the shit out of several blocks of northwest DC, after police had surrounded the restaurant for about 45 minutes. According to police reports, Welch was armed with an AR-15 variant semiautomatic rifle, and police also seized a shotgun and a .38 caliber handgun; one of those other weapons was found in Welchs car, although its not clear which. Welch told police hed gone to Comet Ping Pong to self-investigate the online fake news stories about the incredibly stupid conspiracy theory known as #pizzagate, the basics of which are summarized with remarkable patience by the BBC here. Despite the lack of any police investigation, identifiable victims, or physical evidence, a whole swath of the internet is absolutely certain theres irrefutable proof that a pedophile ring run by Hillary Clinton and John Podesta has been running out of the popular family pizza restaurant. Why? Because Wikileaks published some emails by Podesta mentioning pizza, the restaurant, and its owner, James Alefantis. Obviously, a high-powered Democratic operative like Podesta would never simply hold fundraisers at a pizza restaurant or be in contact with its owner, whos a big supporter of the Democratic party, so it all added up to one completely obvious conclusion: every mention of pizza in the Podesta emails was code for child molestation and trafficking. Theres even this irrefutable proof: some idiot posted a list of well-known pedophile code words on Twitter:

It's just obvious when you think about it.
. . . .
WaPo notes in an updated version of its report on Welchs arrest, On Sunday, Washington Post reporters involved in this article were the target of online threats shortly after it posted. You know, because theyre clearly covering up for Clinton, Podesta, and their sex ring, and what kind of monsters would help cover THAT up? The Post also notes that several nearby businesses have been threatened as well, because if theyre on the same block, obviously theyre connected to the nonexistent network of pedophile torture dungeon tunnels extending from Comet Ping Pong:
Matt Carr, the owner of the Little Red Fox market and coffee shop, said his business started getting threats last weekend. They got 30 to 40 calls before they stopped answering calls from blocked numbers, he said. One person said he wanted to line us up in front of a firing squad, said Carr, who spent more than an hour in lockdown with his employees Sunday.
. . . .
Yup. The armed citizen investigator, driven by citizen investigations of a nonexistent sex scandal to go and wave a gun around and fire a shot into the floor of a pizza place, is definitely going to muddy the water for further citizen investigators wholl probably decide they need to amp up the firepower next time, so they can get to the REAL truth. Heres a photo of Mr. Welch, who looks like a qualified citizen investigator, all right.

As somebody said on Twitter, at least now we can be certain: the fake stories about crimes at the pizzeria have now led to a real crime at the pizzeria.

Imagine if this had ended in people being killed at the pizza joint.

(146,286 posts)For pity's sake. We are going to see more and more of this senseless crap as the Trump Parade comes to DC. Once he opened the floodgates of bigotry and idiocy, the morons have come out of the woodwork, ready to take his message of hatred to the streets and into the neighborhood.
Be vigilant, folks!

(113,259 posts)our natural reactions. I just try to refrain from screaming in public.
I ran into a friend in the grocery store. We have been friends since our kids were babies, thirty-seven years. I have not seen her since phone-banking.
We looked each other, both burst into tears and loud sobs. I don't care who saw.
I'm almost done crying. I am not through fighting, not now, not ever. Even after I die, my money can go to the SPLC, so they can continue to fight in my name.
Cry all you want. Trump supporters, whether they will admit it or not, will be crying, too.

(1,203 posts)The orange menace allegedly raped a 13 year old. He also allegedly attended underage sex parties with his billionaire pedophile buddy (don't remember his name).
Since projection is all the Trump people can do, now the Clintons and Mr. Podesta are running a child pedophile ring.

(20,758 posts)Because once they find out that #Podesta and #Hillary are only PART of the Omaha-Beach-Landing party of Arcturian Lizard People, WE'RE ALL DOOMED.
Those Arcturian Lizard People can mimic the human form, like chameleons. The evidence is OUT THERE, man... just study the pictures. You can tell. In certain lights, their eyes glow a certain way. Arcturian aliens, I tell you.

I've read that the gunman recently got heavily into extremist right wing Christianity. Also problems with drugs and alcohol. And I note the preoccupation with firearms. Did the NRA push these conspiracy theories on social media?
