D.C. Police detain suspect with an assault rifle at Comet Ping Pong restaurant - Polidicks

[QUOTE]D.C. Police responding Sunday to a report of a gunman at a popular pizza restaurant in Northwest Washington detained a man armed with an assault rifle, according to a police spokeswoman. Police received a call about a man with a weapon a just before 3 p.m., said Aquita Brown, a spokeswoman for the department. Officers responded to the scene at Comet Ping Pong, a pizza restaurant on Connecticut Avenue with ping-pong tables that is popular with families. She said there were no reports of injuries and no shots fired. It’s not clear what motivated the suspect in Sunday’s incident. The restaurant, however, was swept up in the onslaught of fake news that was prevalent during the presidential campaign.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]The restaurant’s owner and employees were threatened on social media in the days before the election, the New York Times reported, after fake news stories circulated claiming that then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her campaign chief were running a child sex ring from the restaurant’s back rooms. None of it was true, but the fake stories and threats persisted, some even aimed at the employees’ children. The restaurant’s owner was forced to contact the FBI, local police, Facebook and other social media platforms in an effort to remove the articles.[/QUOTE] [URL="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2016/12/04/d-c-police-respond-to-report-of-a-man-with-a-gun-at-comet-ping-pong-restaurant/?utm_term=.c23136bbcbcd"]Source[/URL] thanks, pizzagate [del](motive is not known yet but it's a safe bet)[/del] CONFIRMED!

Glad he was stopped before he could harm anyone. I doubt it's the last time we'll see people acting on these bullshit conspiracies, the whole situation lends itself to a vicious cycle of pizzagaters crying false flag and crooked media.

[del]What is Pizzagate?[/del] I see.

my favorite aspect of pizzagate is the theory that the founder of reddit is a cannibal [t]http://i.imgur.com/oRAMnfa.jpg[/t]

Last I heard, Pizzagate did stumble upon some actual, non-DNC pedophiles.

[QUOTE=Swiket;51476000]my favorite aspect of pizzagate is the theory that the founder of reddit is a cannibal [t]http://i.imgur.com/oRAMnfa.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] I thought they were claiming he was a pedo, never heard of the cannibal one. They also think spez has legitimate ties to the DNC somehow

[QUOTE=Trebgarta;51476010]Wait when did it become about [I]Turkish [/I]children ???[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.dailydot.com/layer8/pizzagate-alt-right-turkey-trolls-child-abuse/"]Link[/URL] The situation was blown up by a bunch of Turkish Twitter accounts after pro-government media there (who are against Clinton) began citing /r/pizzagate. Trolls in Turkey seized the opportunity to say "yeah they totally took my kids" and naturally /r/pizzagate ran with it.

I don't think the people looking into Pizzagate, like any group, all believe such things. That's not an accurate representation of the situation. If anyone is interested in a representation of Pizzagate from the people themselves refer to this info graphic. [url]https://i.sli.mg/eoWIeB.jpg[/url]

[QUOTE=Duck M.;51476049]are you pinged on the tracker whenever someone uses the words "assault rifle" or something[/QUOTE] no i just saw it in SH and laughed [QUOTE=.Isak.;51476063][I]bringing an assault rifle to a fuckign pizza shop[/I][/QUOTE] i 100% guarantee it wasn't an assault rifle

[QUOTE=Duck M.;51476049]are you pinged on the tracker whenever someone uses the words "assault rifle" or something[/QUOTE] maybe terminology is important?

implying that someone has somehow got their hands on a genuine automatic rifle via the use of the term assault rifle is dishonest as fuck and it's only done to confuse people and make them go "WOW we have a gun control problem if anyone can go out and get an assault rifle!!!!" it's misinformation used to feed an agenda, i'm not surprised that classic anti-gun posters are the ones suggesting it's no big deal

[QUOTE=meharryp;51476139]litteraly no one was talking about gun control until you brought it up[/QUOTE] Not the point. We need to hold the media to high standard. Misrepresenting the weapon used unintentionally/intentionally helps further agendas and ideas. That isn't debatable. On the other hand even the police referred to it as an assault rifle [url]https://twitter.com/DCPoliceDept?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw[/url]

[QUOTE=meharryp;51476139]litteraly no one was talking about gun control until you brought it up[/QUOTE] i didn't bring up gun control, i brought up an anti-gun agenda which is blatantly represented in articles which use dishonest terminology for alarmist reasons every time a black rifle is seen in public the media blows up about the [I]FULLY[/I] automatic "[B]Military Style™[/B]" [U]ASSAULT RIFLE-15[/U] >>>[highlight]MACHINE GUN[/highlight]<<< and then people go "ugh i cant beleive its so easy to get assault rifles look what this nutjob went and did" which was funny for a while when everyone knew it was bullshit but now people are genuinely buying into it
