HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED AT COMET ACCORDING TO THE DOJ PRESS RELEASE:

"Upon arriving at the restaurant, Welch parked his car and armed himself. At about 3 p.m., he marched inside the restaurant, which was occupied by employees and customers, including children. He was carrying the AR-15 assault rifle and the revolver. He was carrying the AR-15 openly, with one hand on the pistol grip, and the other hand on the hand guard around the barrel, such that anyone with an unobstructed view could see the gun.

        The customers and employees fled the building. At one point, Welch encountered a locked room and attempted to force open the door, first using a butter knife and then discharging his assault rifle multiple times into the door.

        A few minutes later, an unaware employee entered the restaurant, carrying pizza dough. Welch saw the employee and turned toward the worker with the assault rifle, causing the worker to immediately fear he would be shot. The worker fled. Welch was left alone in the restaurant. After spending more than 20 minutes inside, he left his firearms and exited the restaurant unarmed. He was then arrested. The assault rifle and revolver were recovered inside the restaurant. A shotgun also was recovered from the defendant’s car, along with a box of shotgun ammunition."

HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED AT COMET ACCORDING TO WASHINGTON POST:

"A North Carolina man who commandeered a Washington pizza restaurant with an assault-style rifle in December pleaded guilty Friday to weapons and assault charges in a deal with U.S. prosecutors."

"In a case that drew national headlines, Welch, who is from Salisbury, N.C., showed up at the popular restaurant on a Sunday afternoon, carrying a fully loaded AR-15 rifle and revolver in plain view. He pleaded guilty to a federal charge of transporting firearms and ammunition across state lines and a District count of assault with a dangerous weapon."

"“Did you in fact transport these firearms from North Carolina to the District of Columbia and . . . enter the Comet Ping Pong restaurant openly carrying [an AR-15 rifle] and point it in the direction of a person?” “Yes ma’am,”

"...and to pay restitution of $5,744.33 to the restaurant for damaged computer systems, a door, lock and ping-pong table."

"After a panicky evacuation by workers and customers, including children, Welch fired the rifle multiple times at a locked closet door, striking computer equipment inside, court documents said. He also pointed the rifle toward an unwitting employee retrieving pizza dough from a nearby business who entered the back of the restaurant, then immediately turned and ran for his life, according to the government’s evidence signed off by Welch."

This list could go on and on. So tell me WHAT IS TRUTH?

OH, and I haven't even mentioned the only customer witness publicly interviewed"s statements. I don't know if he was interviewed by authorities or not. He did tell Alex Jones in a recorded interview that he did not hear gunshots. He showed up at Comet with his wife and children BECAUSE he heard about pizzagate. Go figure. How many people were actually in the restaurant at the time? How many children? As far as I can tell, there were no witnesses who saw Welch shoot the gun or heard what they recognized to be gunshots. Welch VOLUNTARILY waived his right to remain silent and have legal council. Where did he get the BUTTER KNIFE? How long did that take? Did he shoot the computer when he stood on the chair? Why would he shoot into a locked closet if he thought children were in there? If he believed they were in there, it would seem he would be careful to shoot at the lock parallel with the door so the discharge wouldn't go into the closet. And a butter knife and (3) shots didn't seem to work, so he stands on a chair and just looks over the low wall? SO MANY ODD, UNRESOLVED ISSUES.
