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.

    > Probably going to turn out like the spirit cooking thing,

    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.
