'Pizzagate’ gunman killed by police in North Carolina after traffic stop

[gargamon]

A man who fired a gun inside a restaurant in the nation’s capital after a fake online conspiracy theory called “Pizzagate” motivated him to do so nearly a decade ago was shot and killed by North Carolina police during a weekend traffic stop.

 

Edgar Maddison Welch was a passenger in a vehicle stopped by officers in Kannapolis on Saturday night, according to a Kannapolis Police Department news release. One of the officers recognized the car as the vehicle of someone he had arrested and who had an outstanding warrant for a felony probation violation – Welch, police said.

 

When the officers approached the vehicle to arrest Welch, police said the man pulled out a handgun and pointed it at one of the officers. After he was instructed to drop the weapon but didn’t, two officers shot Welch, authorities said.

What does QAnon have to say about this?

[candide]

Putting the shooting aside.

 

 

Is something like pizza gate really so far fetched anymore. Considering since pizzagate first came out there was no oops I hung myself epstien and mo baby oil mo problems puff a diddy pop scandals that are rumoured to have many politicians involved as well.

 

Just saying.

What happened to the Hunter Biden laptop is the new pizzagate you were so active on? Remember the heady days when fact was banned to allow silly democrat narratives to gain traction? Saving hard copies of that nonsense was the best thing I did, allows me to remember who was on the side of banning fact ie who is genuine or dishonest.

 

Is Hunters laptop the new pizzagate as we were forced to accept?

What happened after MSM other than the NYPost finally got a laptop copy they could authenticate?

The Pizzagate story as originally reported was solid. The Podesta emails (published on Wikileaks but then erased entirely) are pretty explicit, and James Alefantis' Instagram account (now closed)… well, let's say this is a seriously sick and twisted individual.

QAnon is not an entity and is in fact a portmanteau invented by the media.

 

There is Q, an entity which made a number of posts on the 4chan forum during Trump's first term, and there are the so-called "Anons", who are the individuals who parsed and deciphered those posts.

Pushing a lie knowing it is a lie is reprehensible.

Intentionally  targeting the feeble minded and the mentally ill in an attempt to provoke a violent outcome is evil.

Continuing to repeat a malicious falsehood under the guise of exploring "possibilities" speaks to the malicious intent  of the person circulating false information.

 

The people who make these false claims should be  held liable for the damages that they cause. If their actions result in  injuries to others,  they should  face the most  severe of penalties. Stringing up one of these cowards  may be somewhat harsh, but it does  convey what a lot of people would like to see happen to the spineless coward losers who do this.

 

Just saying. 🙂

A theory stating that people rape kids and drink their blood in order to remain young, in the basement of a pizzeria which has no basement, is particularly ridiculous.

Erased Podesta emails? Where did you get that, Mr. Flat Earth?

 

Is there any conspiracy silliness you do not believe?

 

Hey, if it gives you some sort of psychic joy to believe Hillary and Tom Hanks lead an international cabal of people who kidnap, rape, roast and eat babies, knock yourself silly buying into it.

 

On the other hand, if you want to see someone who absolutely has contact with pedos, Google George Nader, Tim Nolan and Tevfik Arif.

 

Here's something for you to ruminate over, if you're looking for pedos....

I made a mistake, I had forgotten that Wikileaks had reuploaded them. Searchable by keyword, here are the Podesta email results with keyword "pizza".

So which one is about raping kids and extracting rejuvenating ingredients from their blood?

Several. However, this is the wrong forum section to talk about it. Maybe I will start a topic in the "Off the Beaten Track" section if I have time in the near future.

[candide]

After reading some of the messages, I must admit they are quite suspect. You know like going to eat pizzas in a pizzeria. And also all these pedo code words: pepperoni, mozzarella,  salami.... 😂

So was the theory that Biden was good to go. Or that Bill Clinton was a gooder and didn't ride the lolita express dozens of times. Or Trump for that matter before you bring that garbage up.

 

Your opinion is noted.

Considering that the QAnon community consider this guy a warrior hero for confronting Hillary Clinton's paedophile cabal (alleged by the QAnon community), the fact that he has been shot dead by police should be of interest to them and I would expect them to have an opinion.

 

Perhaps they may find another conspiracy within their conspiracy.

 

I would like to know what they are saying.

You are one person.

 

What will you do, if you ever find out?

 

How will it affect your life?

 

Most of the rest of the world doesn't know, and cares even less.

Was he expelled from QAnon? I would have thought they would have given him a medal for his heroics.

 

Has Donald Trump made an official comment yet? I have not come across anything reported.

If he was daft enough to pull a gun on police (in the USA!) during a traffic stop, then he was a particularly silly warrior  hero!

Indeed, but do the QAnon crowd believe that is what happened or was he 'eliminated' because he knew too much and what did he know?

There is no such thing as "QAnon", like a club people become members of or get expelled from…

 

I am not aware that anybody in the Q community celebrated this character and his nefarious actions. The only publicity which was given to him was from the media and the main protagonists of the Comet Ping Pong story. It was used to make a lot of noise and deflect from the substance of the issue, i.e. the Podesta emails and Alefantis' Instagram posts.

 

To my knowledge, the only time Trump mentioned "QAnon" [sic] was when a journalist asked him if he knew about it, describing it as a theory under which Trump is "leading a charge against a cabal of pedophiles, cannibals and satanic worshippers", to which Trump responded: "Is that supposed to be a bad thing?"
