A reviewer on Yelp was suprised how calmly the staff at Comet Pizza dealt with the incident. https://www.yelp.com/biz/comet-ping-pong-washington?q=Gunman

Considering that the staff at Comet Pizza seem to be mostly skittish and flaky young men it seems likely that they must have been forwarded by Alefantis. The traffic camera opposite Comet Pizza had been taken down two days earlier. https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@ausbitbank/so-a-gunman-walked-into-comet-ping-pong-and-pizza-must-learn-everything-help-expose-a-potential-false-flag-compilation

Edgar Maddison Welch was a part time actor who (may) had played the role of a gunman in the film 'A Tale about Pizza' (2005). Was Alefantis hiring him a pscycopathic joke or was it a hoax posting? The entry has now been removed. http://archive.is/YCrhG

Edgar's father Harry Welch Jnr has fostered children, is involved with the scout movement and helped set up a charity for children in Haiti. As well as being a film producer he also finds time to go undercover on various operations. Could Alefantis and Welch be connected through the CIA? http://pizzagate.wiki/Edgar_Maddison_Welch

Alefantis was soon pushing the 'Fake News is Dangerous' narrative that the MSM have been overdosing on since the incident. With plenty of press interest in the case it might be useful to have some placards made up to point out the irony behind this strange tale.
