This is the greatest load of shit. Eye witnesses say there is no gun but somehow the police contradict themselves. This is the video all the news is coming from.

Take a closer look.
Here is another video. Don't you think it's a bit weird if they are arresting someone that the cops are all completely still with their guns trained on the restaurant?

"The Reuters witness who was inside Comet at around 3 p.m. ET said he was paying his bill when he saw a man entering the restaurant's front door. "It appeared to us he had a long rifle with him. We scattered," he said."
-"appeared"
An unidentified 35-year-old man was being held for questioning after police were called to the Comet Ping Pong restaurant in Washington near the Maryland border, said Aquita Brown, a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police Department in the nation's capital.
Brown said no shots were fired and there were no injuries.
The police state themselves that no shots were fired and no injuries.
-He's 35 years old
-And make no mention of a gun!
So how is it this article and video starts off with a 20 year old man "allegedly" walked into comet ping pong with a rifle.
Hilarious, somehow he has no need to be indentified... any other person walking into a business with a gun would be.

"A bartender at Comet, who said he didn't see a gun himself, told News4 everyone inside started to panic as the man walked to the back of the restaurant. Customers and employees evacuated."
D.C. police spokeswoman Aquita Brown said they detained a 28-year-old man from Salisbury, North Carolina, the Associated Press reported.
-Ah so no mention of a gun.
-Now hes 28 years old.
"The incident has not been linked to terrorism or to recent threats to the business, which started when an online conspiracy theory started circulating, police said."
Figures. All reports say to check the police twitter for updates, lets go there. Also they just said it has nothing to do with comet ping pong. Right here quote from the same spokesperson.
https://twitter.com/DCPoliceDept
The @DCpolicedept tweets are as follows.
A photo that says that "chief Newsham provided a media update" Which is just a retweet by the police department of the mayors twitter.
So the only thing they have said was "Suspect in custody with armed rifle" which points to the reporter on scene twitter.
@Ramerieznews who did the wusa9 video.
This random persons twitter posts video's of the scene of comet ping pong. But not close enough to see anything. just cuts of the video report posted earlier.
This is an earlier tweet from her.
Told @DCPoliceDept supervisors are searching but so far no evidence of gunman discovered. Heavy investigation underway @wusa9 #pizzagate
And after being unable to find any valid video or text response about chief newsham's media update. I'm going to go with the eye witness reports than all these websites who's sources are literally just tweets!! LOOK FOR YOURSELF PEOPLE!
ARCHIVE IT.

Agreed. There is absolute inconsistency in all accounts. Not to mention watching Jake Tapper start yelling at random people with doublespeak with the "what makes you think there wasn't (an investigation)?" A news reporter who doesn't report the news who basically responded with "I know you are, but what am I?" https://sli.mg/muABKV
And here's the witness who gave the CNN account also contradicting the narrative about shots fired. https://web.archive.org/web/20161205044956/https://mobile.twitter.com/bayreef/status/805593857744310272
So we're to believe a gunman with a rifle came into the place (narrow surroundings too), walked by everyone, found the owner, pointed a rifle at him, and he ran out and called the police, but somehow the servers who knew too calmly walked over to the tables and told people there was a guy who walked past with a rifle and they all calmly left while some took their food and drinks, and everyone hung around outside to see how it all worked out, some with kids, because you know, keeping people nearby an active shooter situation is normal protocol now.
That's the story. What a story. No holes there.
