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.

I didn't read the original story (or "fake" story, or "conspiracy") about this pizza shop, so don't read this as a position either way. It is, however, easier to hide stuff in plain sight than you think. The apartment building across the street from me was running a brothel out of the street-level apartments. I've lived on the block almost 20 years, and it's chock full of yuppy families with toddlers. Nobody had any idea it was going on.
Even people you know really well can surprise you. I had a good friend that was the most cheerful person I knew. Until he stuck a shotgun in his mouth and ended it.
Many wrap themselves in bubbles and only see that which gets between them and what they want. Most of us only show others what we want them to see.
Washington DC delenda est.
