The Daily Deplorable 12/5//16: Guy Shoots Up Pizza Joint After Being Brainwashed by Fake RW News

Posted by SMAZ on Mon Dec 5 15:56:58 2016

Man opens fire in restaurant targeted by anti-Clinton "PizzaGate" fake news conspiracy

Comet Ping Pong pizza parlor in Washington, D.C. CBS AFFILIATE WUSA

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A man who said he was investigating a conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton running a child sex ring out of a pizza place fired an assault rifle inside the Washington, D.C., restaurant on Sunday injuring no one, police and news reports said.

Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman Aquita Brown said police detained a 28-year-old man from Salisbury, North Carolina. The deputy mayor for public safety and justice said on Twitter the suspect has been identified as Edgar Maddison Welch.


Police responded and arrested Welch without incident. They recovered an “assault rifle,” Brown said. Welch was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.

Two firearms were recovered inside the restaurant and an additional weapon was recovered from the suspect’s vehicle, police said in a statement on Sunday evening.

The suspect entered the location and pointed a firearm in the direction of an employee of the restaurant, the MPD said in a statement. The victim was able to flee and notify police. The suspect fired an undetermined number of shots inside of the restaurant, according to the MPD.

During a post arrest interview, the suspect also revealed that he came to the establishment to self-investigate “Pizza Gate,” the MPD said in a statement.

As CBS affiliate WUSA reported previously, using the hashtag #PizzaGate, an imaginary story about the popular pizza shop was spread across social media and websites associated with the “alt-right” movement, accusing its proprietors of allowing Bill and Hillary Clinton and her former campaign manager to run a child sex slave ring from the business.

As a result, the pizza place has been hammered by thousands of threats and bizarre, unsubstantiated tales about child sex trafficking online for weeks.

WUSA reported that they found two women, who declined to give their names, banging on the patio at the pizza place in late November. The women were looking for the alleged tunnels used to traffic children.

“All of this is an underground tunnel that helps take the kids and transport them back and forth so they can can do these rituals,” said one of them. “They are putting a lot of curses and spells over the city. They are kidnapping the children who are missing. They were never missing because D.C. know where they are.”

Comet Ping Pong owner James Alefantis said then that the restaurant does not even have a basement.

He said he suspected the story simply emerged because he and a friend supported the Clinton campaign.

“These people are destroying their lives,” said neighbor Maura Dougherty about the conspiracy theorists. “It’s insane.”

Before the latest incident, Comet Ping Pong’s owner told WUSA that the PizzaGate conspirators have also harassed and abused his staff. The manager got so many threats and vulgar messages, his wife asked him to quit his job. And the online bullies have gone after other businesses on the block as well.

More amazing is that National Security Adviser-designate Michael Flynn also retweeted a story about the Clinton campaign being investigated for pedophilia.

None of this elaborate conspiracy theory was true, as the New York Times noted . . .
Don't be silly. The NYT is the first source they cite when specifically claiming it to be untrue. The other sources contain quotes from the owner of CPPP and other stuff.

Nope.

1. Answer the question.

2. You sure know plenty about dishing it out but you sure can't take it. You were completely wrong about the election, even before the results came in, and not only did you disagree with people who rightly told you that you were wrong, but you even DERIDED them. That's disgusting behavior. And now that you've been proven to be wrong, you refuse to admit it. Absolutely sickening. But typical for you.

Re: The Daily Deplorable 12/5//16: Guy Shoots Up Pizza Joint Aftermath: Michael Flynn Jr Resigns

Posted by SMAZ on Wed Dec 7 02:58:04 2016, in response to The Daily Deplorable 12/5//16: Guy Shoots Up Pizza Joint After Being Brainwashed by Fake RW News, posted by SMAZ on Mon Dec 5 15:56:58 2016.

Trump aide Michael Flynn Jnr out after 'Pizzagate' tweets

One of Donald Trump's aides has lost his job after fanning a conspiracy theory that climaxed at the weekend in gunfire at a pizzeria.
Michael Flynn, 33, left the US president-elect's transition team on Tuesday following his tweets about the so-called Pizzagate fake news story.
His father, Michael Flynn Snr, Mr Trump's pick to be US national security adviser, has also shared fake news.
The Pizzagate hoax led to a gunman firing shots in a restaurant on Sunday.

No one was injured in the incident at Comet Ping Pong in Washington DC.
The suspect told police he had turned up to "self-investigate" online rumour-mongering that the pizzeria was the nexus of a paedophile ring involving Hillary Clinton and one of her aides, John Podesta.

The bizarre and unfounded theory had been spread online by right-wing blogs.
The claims were also pushed by Mr Flynn Jr, who tweeted after Sunday's gunfire that Pizzagate would remain a story until "proven to be false".



The New York Times reports that he was fired from the Trump transition team on Tuesday but, according to CBS News, he resigned before he was sacked.
The Trump team confirmed the departure of Mr Flynn - who had reportedly been given a .gov email address - but did not confirm it was related to the tweets.

Vice President-elect Mike Pence acknowledged that Mr Flynn Jnr had been helping his father with scheduling and administrative items during the transition but said "that's no longer the case".
Asked repeatedly whether a security clearance was requested, Mr Pence refused to answer directly.
Mr Flynn Snr, 57, has also tweeted out unsubstantiated conspiracy theories accusing Mrs Clinton and her aides of child-sex trafficking.


Among the retired lieutenant general's other tweets was an allegation that President Barack Obama was a "jihadi" who "laundered" money for terrorists.



Critics have said Mr Flynn Snr is unfit to advise the incoming president on the veracity of national security threats facing the US.

Michael Flynn Snr has also tweeted out bizarre conspiracy theories linking Hillary Clinton to paedophilia

In Sunday's armed confrontation, the suspect allegedly walked into Comet Ping Pong and pointed a rifle at an employee before firing shots into the ground.
Edgar Maddison Welch, 28, from North Carolina, has been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.

The Pizzagate theory oriIginated on alternative message board 4chan, based on emails hacked from the Democratic Party and leaked by Wikileaks.
The restaurant's owner, James Alefantis, a Democratic Party donor, appears in the emails in relation to organising a Democratic fundraiser.

Users of 4chan and another message board, Reddit, had said words in the emails such as cheese, hot dog, and pizza were code for young children and sex acts

That's what the NYT and NY Post both say.

Funny how the left still sweats "Pizzagate" even though Alex Jones, by pushing the notion, has thus verified its fallaciousness.

You can't publish outright lies as journalism. That concept is anathema to trumpism.

Anyone harmed by such has the right to compensation, such as the owner of the pizza parlor, Hillary Clinton, her campaign corporation and the Clinton Foundation.

Fake news has been published since Lincoln's time and probably earlier, yet the Republic still stands. Bottom line is that you said there was no way Trump could win; you were wrong; and you are bitter as all get-out over it.

No, wait...you were bitter long before the election. My mistake.
