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?
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-washingtondc-gunman-idUSKBN13T0YE
"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.
http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Man-With-Assault-Rifle-Arrested-at-Comet-Ping-Pong-in-NW-DC-404634716.html
"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

He is not listed as an actor on IMDB. The one movie he wrote is a 9 minute short.
DarkMath ago
If he's on IMDB he's an Actor. He's just not a very good actor. Until PizzaGate came along. lol
AreWeSure ago
You don't need to be an actor to be IMDB. Thousands of nonactors are on IMDB.
Here's the IMDB page of one of my favorite people on IMDB. He's not an actor.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005683/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cr8
To be clear E.M Welch does have one onscreen credit., but his first two credits are for production assistants jobs. Believe me, you do not need any acting skill to be a production assistant. This is an entry level "gopher" position. I was a production assistant in college on a few films, even got on camera once, when they needed extras at a party around my age. My scene ended up getting cut.

"You don't need to be an actor to be IMDB."......I'm not sure why you consider this important. Edgar Maddison Welch has done work as an actor. He just wasn't a very good one. And his other credit are just as damning, storyboard artist and writer: "The Mill (storyboard artist) " "Writer, Mute (2011))" This is where I point out you're either a CRT shill or have tin ear when it comes to measuring people up. An Artist/Actor/Writer doesn't lose his mind and run into a restaurant with an assault rifle looking for Pedophiles. It's just not possible. Sorry. I don't make the rules.
AreWeSure ago
What is a CRT shill?. My point is there are tons of people in film credits with zero acting skills. If this is someone playing a role, the set dresser or the lighting guy may not have the skillset.
If you think that people who have acted don't commit crimes, that doesn't hold up. See Robert Blake or OJ Simpson, etc.
DarkMath ago
"who have acted don't commit crimes".....Robert Blake and OJ Simpson committed very personal and selfish crimes of passion against women in their lives and anyone unfortunate enough to have been with them at the time. Running into a restaurant to save children from suspected abuse is just about the antithesis of what Blake and OJ did. Trying to save children is a SELFLESS crime. It's in no way excusable, far from it. I'm just talking about what type of person would do something like that. You'd expect maybe a very religious person or someone who suffered sexual abuse themselves. I'm not picking that up from Edgar Maddison Welch. Old Edgar seems like a happy go lucky guy, artsy, writer of screen plays, anything goes kind of dude whose never been in trouble with the law before besides a car accident. What's a much more believable explanation to me is Edgar being involved in low budget movies in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. probably knew James Alefantis who DING DING DING is also involved in low budget movies and also lives in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S.. So he get's a call from James Alefantis asking for a favor and maybe a lucrative paycheck to help fight Homophobia and a new generation of Deplorable shit lords unleashed by Donald Trump. Who knows what happened. All I know is there's an epidemic of Hate Hoaxes on the left. They never seem to end. And this fits right in with the meme don't you think? http://moonbattery.com/links/Hate-Hoax-List.html

A. This a giant, giant leap of logic
B. There is evidence you're closer to the mark on this one.
The Charlotte Observer reviewed his Facebook postings
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article119052763.html#storylink=cpy
Also Welch has been in trouble with the law before.

"criminal record includes.........underage driving after consuming alcohol and misdemeanor drug possession charges.......driving while intoxicated".....LOL, looks like old Edgar is a real hardened criminal. Please. The only hint of credibility is Edgar's "religious zeal" which sort of reminds me of his "criminal zeal" which is about in line with any other red blooded American male.....No, religious zeal would be like attending Seminary or setting up a website like badselfeater.com , that kind of religious zeal ;-)...........And to be honest that's an awful lot of quotes to have on hand just minutes after I made my comment. That's not good "AreWeSure". That points to you being a paid shill for a new "industry" which DING DING DING James Alefantis' old boyfriend's is very familiar with and his service to will forever live in infamy.......Oh and I almost forgot David "Bat Shit Crazy" Brock's motive here. He's been acting "Bat Shit Crazy" a lot lately. Ever ask yourself why? Just maybe old David wants to stay out of jail? Are you with me?.....muahahahahaaaaaa

What on Lord's green earth are you talking about? I'm paid ?

You never even acknowledged the Hate Hoax list or the possibility Edgar is putting on a show. Normally adjusted people don't rush into restaurants with an assault rifle. People who do that don't generally come out alive and if they do someone's dead inside. I've never even heard of someone doing that and then thinking better of it and politely walking outside with his hands up. Maybe you're young and naive. I'm not. Edgar's whole story doesn't make sense. Someone that mad would show sings of, duh, being so mad they're on the edge of sanity. People like that are by definition not rational. ;-)
