So it's 3am on a Saturday night. Seeming as though I have nothing to do and since I've just recently got into the pizza gate community, I decided to call Comet ping pong, just for shits and giggles. Their website says they're open late, so i figured I'd call them, just to see if anyone would answer. Well, sure enough I get an answer. I was shocked just to get someone on the phone with me (just a random employee..and I guess the shift manager in the background) that I really just started talking to them.
Within seconds they seemed annoyed with me since I brought up pizzagate. I asked if James was available to talk, but they said he doesn't often close (It was 3am but I might as well ask anyways), I asked about the evidence of child trafficking and collusion between the Podesta brothers and the Owner, as seen in the wikileaks emails, and expressed how concerned I was about all of it and how strange it looks from an outsiders point of view. They both took turns taking to me for about 10 minutes about how they've received numerous threats against employees from strangers, people coming in only to make a scene and act like assholes, and just all around malicious and rude behavior from random people who identify themselves as investigators into pizza gate. I brought up several talking points about why they're being targeted and why so many seemingly random people are concerned about the place, and James. (they also mentioned James is a MAJOR asshole as a boss....but went on to and on about how he's not into child abuse, from what they could tell).
Surprisingly, they were pretty chill dudes who just seemed to be really frustrated and bothered with the amount of unwanted harassment from people looking into the investigation. Apparently several employees have quit on the spot or tendered their resignations in the past few days because they were so uncomfortable with receiving multiple death threats from people claiming to know about the abused children in the restaurant. I don't want this to come off as defending James Alefantis or trying to discredit looking into this thing as a whole....but to those on here or anywhere prank calling the restaurant or legitimately threatening these people with violence or death, please stop asap. The people working there are just doing their jobs and trying to make a living in the service industry. I kind of empathized with these people when they expressed how scared they were in the past few weeks with all the attention on their workplace.
I'm not saying this disproves anything, but just please focus on the owner himself, and stop threatening and harassing the people that work there.

They don't close before 11pm, at least not when bands are playing. At least when there is live music, the show doesn't even end until 2am much of the time.
