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.

DC resident here.
My well-connected friend assures me that "everyone" already knows that there are elite pedos in that area, but the boys are usually around 17. Age of consent in DC is 16.
There are a lot of gays and transgendered in DC and some of them prefer young twinks. I live with one of those gays. He brings back a new ~18-20 year old male every other week.
There is so much illicit sexual activity in the city that has been flat out ignored by the 4chan neckbeards. Brothels all over the place. Backpage. Maybe they can't find it because blacks are running that stuff and they are focusing on white Clinton superfriends instead.
The "evidence" 4chan dug up is interesting, but I doubt that a pedo ring has been uncovered on Connecticut Avenue. The pedo symbols can be explained by triangles and hearts being fucking common. The creepy art can be explained by the fact that artists have always been edgy. Comet Ping Pong [wikipedia.org] is a hip establishment that serves alcohol, has ping pong tables, has live music, etc. Find some art that seems to depict abstract children being abused? You better purge centuries of art.
Call me naive but if there was something breaking the letter of the law here, it would be shut down right around now. The 4chan investigation was inspired by an "FBI anon". If that person is FBI and not multiple trolls, then it is a disgruntled and dumb agent. Many FBI agents are disgruntled over the handling of the Clinton emails. At least their agency and all others will get purged by Trump.

You seem confused as to the definition of pedo.

If being usually around the age of 17 is not important, then why mention it?
He doesn't even make the effort to say their age is less than 17. For all the information in that sentence, it could mean "usually around 17, but sometimes older."
If you mean something, just say it.

why is it that it was mostly republicans that got outed (toe tapping, or very conservative priests and so on), and that the democrats get... anthony wiener, who seems to be straight? He sure screwed himself up, but he doesnt stay in the news for more than a few weeks per incident.
Do democrats in elected office just like lots of normal sex? I guess that's why it doesnt make quite the same headlines as a total anti-gay guy getting caught with an escort with expenses paid by the republican party.

There was a motive to out publicly homophobic and privately homosexual Republicans that didn't exist in the case of most Democrats.
Now Republicans are forced to be privately homophobic and the issue is considered settled.
