A North Carolina man was arrested Sunday after he walked into a popular pizza restaurant in Northwest Washington carrying an assault rifle and fired one or more shots, D.C. police said. The man told police he had come to the restaurant to “self-investigate” a false election-related conspiracy theory involving Hillary Clinton that spread online during her presidential campaign.
The incident caused panic, with several businesses going into lockdown as police swarmed the neighborhood after receiving the call shortly before 3 p.m.
Police said 28-year-old Edgar Maddison Welch, of Salisbury, N.C., walked in the front door of Comet Ping Pong and pointed a firearm in the direction of a restaurant employee. The employee was able to flee and notify police. Police said Welch proceeded to discharge the rifle inside the restaurant; they think that all other occupants had fled when Welch began shooting.
Welch has been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. Police said there were no reported injuries.

i suppose the counterpoint to this would be "what actual investigating has been done TO SUPPORT THE CLAIMS?" granted, would it kill someone to walk into the pizza place with a camera and say "here's some things that are demonstrably wrong." but the flip side is that you can't spend your life responding to every single outlandish claim.Bully_Pulpit;9540544 said:THE MEDIA NOT DOING THEIR JOB AS USUAL:
No one in the MSM has stepped up to do their job which is supposed to be investigative journalism, a true lost art today. All I've seen is "well this is fake news", but why? What actual investigating has been done?
i 100% agree they keep saying "assault weapon" to attack gun rights. would the story be any different if he'd just had the pistol? no.Bully_Pulpit;9540544 said:THE WELCH/COMET PIZZA FIASCO
This guy who was self investigating pizzagate casually strolls into the establishment with a an assault weapon no less and just starts letting off shots, with kids and parents in there because he wanted answers? Lmao not only does that make zero sense but to think that someone would just wily nilly plan to come from another state and just walk into a pizza place like that is idiotic and more bait to push the dangers of "fake news" and to further corrode the gun rights in this country.
man, you should know i am death on over-complicated conspiracy theories.Bully_Pulpit;9540544 said:i'll add more later I got shit to do and Jank you should know better, you're smarter than that.
i'm sorry, i thought we were talking about this Pizzagate stuff specifically. which, you know, isn't proven simply because pedophiles exist.Ether44mag;9537992 said:what's insane about pedophilia rings and having people in high places being pedophiles ??

pizzagate HAS been proven, im about to load this thread with facts and you will probably close it afterwards. You're the mod of the political section yet you work for the state department or dept of defense right? You're the most bias person posting on here and your opinion on this is prejudiced.

no, it has NOT been proven, and you are aware of this. saying "i think a conspiracy has merit" != provenWiseKing;c-9543127 said:pizzagate HAS been proven-
how about naming a time that's actually happened, or shutting the fuck up?WiseKing;c-9543127 said:-im about to load this thread with facts and you will probably close it afterwards.

someone sure has a high opinion of their barely-literate posts!Ether44mag;c-9543476 said:this guy is a shill for sure I been sizing him on a couple of posts, I jab him with questions just to see if he's honest when anwering and this guy is not genuine at all haha
a. if you're going to call people dumb, seriously, learn to spell words like "through"Ether44mag;c-9543484 said:the way you answered this right there showed your true colors bro lol you might be able to play with other dumb motherfuckers but I see trough you ,thats not the way someone who "just dont believe" this story in particular would answer ,and dont ask me how you shouldve answered neither while trying to make fun all the while ignoring what I said lol

b. "thats not the way someone who "just dont believe" this story in particular would answer?" yeah, actually, it is, because your argument is literally "if you believe pedophiles are real, then you should know this conspiracy theory is real!" which is mind-numbingly retarded logic.
however, it's unsurprising that your response to "put up or shut up" is "you're in on the conspiracy!" sad, but unsurprising.
never will i not laugh at people who take the stance of "question everything" but cry the second someone questions THEM.
yes, you. id your response to anyone questioning your claims to is claim they're in on the conspiracy on some level? it's the moral equivalent of crying.Ether44mag;c-9551122 said:but who are you talkin about ? who is crying when they are questioned ? me ?
says the person whose defense of their theory is to call me a shill and saying "showed your true colors?" your hypocrisy is showing!Ether44mag;c-9551122 said:you are saying things that I never said to discredit me-
does it make you feel better about life to pretend that not only do these conspiracies exist, but that anyone who doesn't agree with you is covering for it somehow?Ether44mag;c-9551122 said:I asked why is it insane and bullshit ? because they are high profile people so that makes it automatically impossible ? an unbiased person would research the evidence and then give their opinion about it ,but saying off the bat that its insane and impossible and acting like my only proof was that pedophiles exist,( when in fact there is ALOT of weird and suspicious circumstances) showed your true colors

anyway, let's review. i called Pizzagate an "insane bullshit conspiracy." your response was "what's insane about pedophilia rings and having people in high places being pedophiles ?? you do believe pedophiles exist right ?"
but did i say pedophiles didn't exist? or that people in high places couldn't be pedophiles? no, i called THIS CONSPIRACY THEORY insane bullshit. so yes, your "proof" is "but but but pedophiles are real!!"
massive, overcomplicated story that seems largely based on nothing more solid than "we think these words are code words"Ether44mag;c-9552492 said:ok so now why dont you tell me why you think that its INSANE bullshit then
i'm not aware of a) anything about the story you've doubted or b) a time when you haven't been dismissive of any questioning of the story.Ether44mag;c-9552492 said:And by the way ,I never said that I was certain the whole story is true ,but witj all the evidence;pictures from those peoples's instagram , video from one of the partys, the legit email's etc there is DEFINITELY some weird shit going on.
