      I had hoped that this guy was going to turn out alright after pizza gate. From what I remember, after he stormed in he realized he was misled and that this was simply a pizza restaurant.

      Turns out he’s just insane and stupid.

    I found an article that wasn’t paywalled. Pulled a pistol on police during a traffic stop and failed to lower his weapon when instructed. What an idiot.

        Philando Castile died because he moved his hands slightly wrong which offended a pissy officer’s feelings, all while trying to comply. This guy gets to fully brandish a weapon before getting wasted lol.

      How did I guess he was white? Any other colour wouldn’t be asked politely to lower their weapon.

      This one doesn’t seem to be paywalled, either. Not for me, at least, even after a few reloads.

        I would get a subscription notice that I was over the limit of free articles for thee month. Same effect as a paywall. You might not have read enough articles yet.

    the conspiracy theory falsely claimed the sex ring was in a back room of the restaurant

    IIRC the conspiracy theory said it was in the basement. The place has no basement. It was emblematic of the carelessness that they had for truth

    For the uninitiated, this conspiracy theory would later devolve into Qanon and worse.

    On October 30, 2016, a Twitter account posting white supremacist material which said it was run by a Jewish New York lawyer falsely claimed that the New York City Police Department (NYPD) had discovered a pedophilia ring linked to members of the Democratic Party while searching through Anthony Weiner’s emails.[13][2] Throughout October and November 2016, WikiLeaks had published John Podesta’s emails. Proponents of the conspiracy theory read the emails and alleged they contained code words for pedophilia and human trafficking.[1][14] Proponents also claimed that Comet Ping Pong, a pizzeria in Washington, D.C., was a meeting ground for Satanic ritual abuse.[15]
