Why would you need the false flag shooter to destroy the evidence? I'm not following the logic here...they're not under investigation to begin with.

How do we know that for a fact? The police aren't investigating them, but who's to say the FBI isn't investigating? The FBI normally doesn't announce when it begins or ends an investigation.

Interesting idea to destroy bookkeeping. Still, it's much easier to just have your harddrive crash and throw it away. (Happens to every drive eventually.) I agree the shooter is suspect, just think the motive was actually to spin the media into damage control mode.

Also making a big assumption that the drive had anything incriminating. If it did, rogue gunman is by far the least reliable way to destroy it.

Give me a fucking break. You want to tell me that these people would be dumb enough to keep ANYTHING incriminating in their place of business: where any employee could stumble across it.

Seriously, some of you are so retarded.

You don't. It provides an explanation for staff as to why the system was replaced with a clean one.

All this from one bullet?

You have a sauce for that?

That would be convenient for anyone wanting to investigate CPP, no?

Problem:

"We need forensics experts to move in to the restaurant to clean up DNA, finger prints and evidence of a CP ring at CPP, but moving a hazmat team in will cause too much suspicion"

Solution

Hire Crisis Actor to shoot up restaurant. Business shuts down for 1-2 days. Nobody suspects that some members of the forensic team might be in there to erase more incriminating evidence.

Also, does anyone have any proof that the FBI is in possession of the computer? This is not a sarcastic question, I would really like to know the answer. I am asking this because all articles I have read indicated this incident was handled by local law enforcement. In which case the computer is likely in the possession of local law enforcement. This is an important distinction.

Theory: maybe the shooter had been a customer, worried about all of the recent publicity, decided to take matters into his own hands and destroy some evidence of his crimes. I.e. CPP's harddrive of him doing dirty things.

If they wanted to destroy the computer, why didn't they just do it themselves? It's in their possession. On their property. It would make zero sense to pull all this off just to get some guy to MAYBE destroy the harddrive when he shot it (he would have to have knowledge of where exactly the HDD was in the tower). It would also be extremely risky for the police to destroy it (tampering with evidence is a serious crime).

No. If they took the computer, they took it to find dirt on CPP. Which means if the shooter was a FF actor, he was an actor for our cause.

Which makes sense seeing has we got signals to "dial it down" soon after the incident.

Is this shooter in jail now or did they release him?

If I thought this was a false flag event, I would like to know the names of the officers involved in the CPP shooter incident. I would like to know the name of the officer in charge of the CPP shooter investigation. Then I'd like to see if he has connections to Alefantis/Podesta/Clinton to ascertain his impartiality.  

Remember at least one witness, supposedly among the last to leave the restaurant, stated early on that he didn't hear any shots fired. Sorry, I know a little about firearms and no one fires a rifle without everyone nearby hearing it. Unless he used a silencer, which has not been alleged.

yeah you have some point but at the same token don't dismiss that all the available info highly suggest a false flag and could be used in a desperate attempt to cover their tracks as well as a tactic to censor investigation. Just look at how this incident is being played its offensive and should be called into question.

No, the quickest way is to run software to delete the drive before Edgar even shows up. If Comet were doing stuff and Edgar was part of it, they could easily have done this themself. I bet that computer just had accounting info on it.

Can someone explain to me, why Alefantis, if involved in CP, would need the police to get rid of the HD? Makes no sense to me.

    Just like Hillary Clinton furiously deleting thousands of emails before her investigation didn't arouse any suspicion, either. Right?

  They want double/triple legitimacy. And they want to get out ahead of the citizen investigation in case there is ever an official investigation.

  And I never said it was the MAIN reason for the false flag. I am certain that the MAIN reason for the operation was to discredit pizzagate, give a reason for the necessity of massive censorship, to grow their FakeNews narrative, and create an excuse for them to crush pizzagate. Destroying the hard drive (if in fact it has been destroyed) was just the icing on the cake.

  You are intentionally mischaracterizing what I have posted.

  I call shill

  Don't feed the trolls

I think the more pertinent question is whether the shot fired was purposely for removing said lock.

Think the nut job/patsy Welch said 'The intel on this wasn't 100 percent." Now they're taking this to mean the children, but it could be the computer was what he was after.

Yes they could, but if this investigation ever grew legs it would look suspicious. This gives a plausible explanation for the destruction of evidence even before it gets subpoenaed.

I'm guessing the computer tower would have been used to do some accounting and to record video from cameras.....To check pizzagate too no doubt.

No matter what that computer is now in police custody as evidence. Perhaps this was a secret op to get the computer.

Could it be possible that JA had flipped and this was a false flag attack but to have a plausible reason to be interacting with the FBI? The computer tower has now become evidence and the whole thing is a ride to give the hard drive too the FBI?

I know it's a long shot but I can see the FBI applying pressure and flipping him if they are indeed investigating this.

They didn't shoot the walls to get rid of the murals, why would they shoot the tower to get rid of a hard drive?

there we have it exactly as predicted use this to cover their tracks how convenient

That's a lot of damage from supposedly a single gunshot

Yes. It was not part of the JA tour of investigators. It had a padlock and was referenced in the WAPO article. It is the nexis of their crimes trading CP.

Are you making the claim, the only way to remove computer evidence is to shoot it with a rifle?

Because that is a ridiculous claim.

Should still be readable memory on there. Will be good to see where it is supposed to have been hit. I feel the repairs they do to the floor, will involve filling in the tunnels and basement. If the fill-in is found, down the track, then we can argue forever about it being recent, or not, like the shroud of turin. But they can not afford to have basements found, in actuality! If someone can get confirmation, this case is solved! There is a quote found that says he has connecting tunnels through bucks, to comet pizza by 99lufttballons...

I thought it was odd when I heard it. Why so heavily armed just to scare some people too? The whole thing reeks like a fish market in the midday sun.

The police or FBI need a warrant to search the computer.
