Pizzagate took a turn for the even more bizarre on Sunday, as a man with an assault rifle walked into Comet Ping Pong to “self-investigate” the Baltimore, Maryland, pizza parlor that internet conspiracy theorists say is at the center of an international child sex ring run by prominent Democrats. 28-year-old Edgar Maddison Welch, of Salisbury, N.C., reportedly fired the rifle at least once inside the restaurant but no one was injured.
As HeatSt.com reports, Washington, D.C., police arrested the man Sunday afternoon, after restaurant employees saw a man, described as being in his early 20s and carrying an “assault rifle,” work his way through the dining room and then attempt to enter the staff work area at the back of the building.

Restaurant workers acted quickly, getting staff and patrons—including a number of children—to safety and dialing 911. Authorities were quick to respond. They subdued and arrested the man and secured the restaurant. No one was injured.
The Washington Post noted that the incident caused panic, with several businesses going into lockdown as police swarmed the neighborhood after receiving the call shortly before 3 p.m.
Police said 28-year-old Edgar Maddison Welch, of Salisbury, N.C., walked in the front door of Comet Ping Pong and pointed a firearm in the direction of a restaurant employee. The employee was able to flee and notify police. Police said Welch proceeded to discharge the rifle inside the restaurant.The man told police he had come to the restaurant to “self-investigate” the election-related conspiracy theory.
Police said in addition to the assault rifle, they also recovered two firearms inside the restaurant; an additional weapon was recovered in Welch’s car. Bomb-sniffing dogs and at least one armored vehicle were present at the scene.
He has been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.

One can’t help but wonder, as Congress considers a bill “to counter active measures by the Russian Federation to exert covert influence,” whether this is yet another false flag to raise awareness of what is a possible outcome of “fake news“?
*Editor’s Note: With all that has shifted in recent years, and the now widely-known and documented government operations known as false flags or psychological operations(psyop) coming fully into light, this story could very well be just such an operation. This would be the exact type of circumstances in which this tactic would be, and has been used in this country’s history. With the quickly rising nation-wide concern over what is now known as PizzaGate, and the immediate response to its spreading investigation which is the current “fake news” psyop, it is quite clear that the establishment is concerned about something, and it is in just such an occasion that the US government has customarily and historically sought out a distraction that can be used to divert attention, and simultaneously fulfill a narrative … such as “fake news” and how it’s so very dangerous to the average American’s gentle feeble little minds, or so they would have the people believe. The Last American Vagabond believes in allowing the people to come to their own conclusions by being fully informed and armed with the whole story and not just the State-sponsored portion. As this story truly unfolds, with an in-depth and thorough investigation by the alternative media, we will bring it to you first, stay tuned…
The pedos want to close Comet and erase their tracks entirely. This false flag serves them well. Also, the event will be paraded as as tragedy for the owner, because of the “fake news.”
Or, it was genuine and the police investigations will send the pedos in jail — highly unlikely, since so many powerful people are child rapists and murderers.
What a sick, sick society!
Sounds like a psy-op of some type. Perhaps to make sure this quits being investigated. Too early to tell.
Completely agree. I would say with the evidence that has surfaced since yesterday, it is safe to say, once again, that there is clearly more to this story that we’re not being told, plain and simple. What exactly that is will be debatable, I personally feel quite strongly based on what i’ve seen that this was an orchestrated event to both distract and continue the false news narrative.
Why does the DC Police press release say “Pizza Gate” (a fictitious online conspiracy theory).
?
Why is it that you feel PizzGate is fictitious? Have you looked beyond what MSM has shown you? Have you done your due diligence before passing judgement?
New info coming out that the “shooter” at Comet Ping Pong is an actor that has appeared in a few movies. Look up the name.
Also, both Comet, and Ping Pong are slang words with sexual connotations, (ESPECIALLY ping pong) per Urban Dictionary.
talk about a false flag!
