Find it oddly fitting that Comet decided to play Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' to drown them out. A song based on the concept that people are 'born' a certain way, and that they cannot help it. As an LGBT anthem it works, but when considering our beliefs about what Comet actually is this seems creepy as hell. As everyone else has already realised, the 'protesters' were almost definitely paid for. The poor people outside CPP defending it are either people ignorant to the investigation, or have ties with Comet. This video is the most eeery thing to come out of this investigation. It's so sad because nobody will actually look at this and see the subtext - they'll see Christian fundamentals acting homophobic. Since when did Pizzagate and our investigation want anything to do with that group?! Ridiculous. But people won't see it, they swallow up the performance being put on here.
A counter-attack protest wherein we all display Pro-LGBT flags and placards whilst shouting the truth - that Pizzagate is real. Maybe that might flip the tables. I'm not homophobic in the slightest, my sister's are gay, my uncle is gay, I have a transgender friend. What's interesting though is that Comet Pizza/Soros or whoever is finding these drama pieces - they're using an anti-lgbt angle. They're making this SEEM like Pizzagate is inherently anti-gay. We know this to be utterly false. We are anti-abuse. Anti-paedophilia. I feel as though a counter protest using phrases like 'we are against abuse, not gay rights' could be very productive. We need to make it clear that the only thing we are fighting here is child abuse.
Any ideas and actual organisation would be amazing. I'm not in America. I wish I was so I could really help.

That is what they want. I'm really convinced of that. They are trying to provoke us to join their shitshow. Some have even come here to push a protest idea, imo.
Just, leave comet alone. A protest would accomplish nothing. It would be, "oh, that poor man, those conspiracy assholes won't leave him alone." Even if we had all the best intentions and persuasive info in the word, people would remember "the shooting," and see it as further proof that "fake news is dangerous."

Agreed, discretion is the better part of valor. We get loud, protest, etc. it doesn't matter our intention. We won't be able to control the narrative once a story like that breaks. I say continue to collect data, push the argument that there are things worth investigating, and continue to strive for presenting legitimacy and credibility surrounding the larger issues. We should think about how we post titles and words like 'proven' 'smoking gun' 'confirmed' and so on through the eyes of a skeptic coming to see what all the fuss is about. We already know we're on to something important. We want others to consider that as well.
