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.

Anyone find it strange old Edgar Maddison Welch is an actor and a writer of screenplays? How many red neck's do you know who enjoy writing screen plays? And he's in low budget movies? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5025616/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Kind of like James Alefantis is? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2625901/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

Bro, I'm from the same county that Edgar is from. Salisbury is largely considered urban, albeit it's still a very small town in conservative NC. I know dozens of people who write, do stand up, and all variety of creative stuff. We're not all rednecks.

"dozens of people who write.....".......You built what's called a Straw Man. I never said those people don't exist in your town. The point being they're not rednecks. Make sense? In other words people who write, do stand up and other creative stuff aren't so bigoted they grab an assault rifle. Only a knuckle dragging red neck would do that. A much more likely story is Edgar was HIRED to play a redneck. Edgar isn't a redneck he just plays one on T.V..

You're making a straw man that red necks can't be creative, or that creative people can't be rednecks. He most likely exists somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. It's naive to assume that he is purely an "actor" just because he has a single writing credit on IMDB for his dad's video production company.
Furthermore, he didn't have an assault rifle, and NC is an open carry state.

"he is purely an "actor"".......Anybody who had an acting credit on IMDB is an actor. Edgar just isn't a very good actor so he doesn't get hired. Until PizzaGate came along! Bee tee dubs, now this is a Redneck: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-28/delta-bans-disruptive-pro-trump-passenger-life
