The guardian reports on a sobering event in Washington DC.

US police have arrested a man wielding an assault rifle who entered a pizza restaurant that was the target of fake news reports it was operating a child abuse ring led by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her top campaign aide.

[...] The suspect entered the restaurant and pointed a gun at a restaurant employee, who fled and notified authorities, police said. The man then discharged the weapon inside the restaurant. There were no injuries.

[...] [Police] said the suspect during an interview with investigators revealed that he came to the establishment to "self-investigate" Pizzagate, the police statement said. Pizzagate is a baseless conspiracy, which falsely claims Clinton and her campaign chief John Podesta were running a child sex ring from the restaurant's backrooms.

    Pizzagate is just more bitch-hunt logic.

    I see you've made up your mind on something you can neither prove nor disprove. In the words of Dean Yeager: Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable. You are a poor scientist, Anonymous Coward.

    Lolwut?

    Are you talking about yourself?

    Because damn, that's some hardcore denialism on your part.

    It could be true. Anything could be true. Its pretty revealing to go through this thread and tally up all the people who are arguing in support of this conspiracy theory. What is the common thread here? Bitch-hunt.
