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.

    This whole site is full of people with mental issues and poor self esteem. This is what and who trolls are. And I should know, I am the same person. I used to be angry, very angry. But I woke the fuck up after taking a good hard look at myself in the mirror. Why did I hate minorities? Why did I spread lies? Why did I troll? I hated myself. That's why. Sure I was robbed by blacks, it was just three of them. Three different people who all share the same thing: they're angry. I'm still angry but mostly angry at myself for allowing myself to simmer in hate for the better part of a decade and blame everyone else but myself.

    The big mouthed ass holes on this site are still angry. And there are a hell of a lot of other people all over who are angry. I get it. I really do. But the anger has blinded many, including myself, into focusing it on the wrong subjects so as to distract us from the real issues. Wake up people. Wake the fuck up!

      > The worst type of zealot is the reformed.

      Er, no. That's literally the opposite of a zealot.

      The actual saying is, "There's no zealot like a convert. [google.com]"
