      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.

      I found an article that wasn’t paywalled.

      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.

    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]
