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.

Not disagreeing with any of that, but the logistics are a lot simpler if its one kid per lifetime "initiation" or whatever rather than one kid every friday night with a large pepperoni with extra sausage. Might explain the weird art. Looking at art rather than doing. One kid every new years celebration perhaps for the whole coven or whatever they'd call themselves.
Something interesting to think about is they have a congressional page system to provide a steady stream of high school kids. Maybe they're a little old for their tastes such that the artwork leans young in reaction.
Probably going to turn out like the spirit cooking thing, which interestingly is mostly the same people. Are they actually opening gates to hell and eating human flesh, well, it seems not, merely symbolically (which is almost as bad, and for PR reasons almost seems worse).

You mean a big bunch of nothing?
“just a normal menu, which I call spirit cooking. There was no blood, no anything else. We just call things funny names, that’s all,”

You seem unfamiliar with the concept of performance art.
Which. I am sure, the artist would take great pleasure in.
Not unlike when an author of a fake news story finds someone who took it at face value.
