The "Pizzagate" gunman who shot up a DC pizza restaurant in 2016 because he believed a fake story that there was a child abuse sex ring inside has been shot and killed by police

These people think they are so badass with a gun. The cops are badass because they face death every day, not because they carry a gun. The NRA says that mass shootings would stop if everyone carried guns but someone with a gun was under a table peeing himself at many/most non-school mass shootings.
It’s really kind of sad. I feel like a lot of us have lost friends or family members to the pits of qanon type crap, and have the fear that this might be their fate too. The rise in conspiracies is so harmful to everyone, including the people who fall for it.
Could any high school social studies teacher 15-years ago realistically foresee the impact of specious actors radicalizing vulnerable people like this?
There are so many disturbing details, on top of the propaganda-driven psychopathy, and the online cesspool that fails to replace community, and a country failing a man so hollistically.
Why did he need a gun?
Why does the police always shoot to kill?
Where is Kannapolis, and how can I avoid it?
I was thinking how horrible it must be to live in their heads. The paranoia, constantly twisting reality into some hellish world in which they are the victims.
Agreed. We all suffer because of this rage machine nonsense, but we also forget the folks who believe it are also living in a constant state of fear, rage and stress because the believed a fabricated “evil” coming for them. Its abuse and manipulation.
They were deferential, they actually told him repeatedly to drop the weapon before they opened fire. Had he been another skin tone they probably would’ve opened fire as soon as they saw the weapon.

For reals. I feel like a zombie virus has infected most of the White Americans.
My dad recently visited his brother in law and couldn’t believe how Fox “News” has turned him into a frothing-at-the-mouth rage zombie incapable of normal conversations.
Give it some time…the Republicans are already feeding on each other. Fox Entertainment hosts are leaving. Before you know it it’s the Fox Home Shopping Network😉
Oh, how I wish this would happen. Let the shopping addicts stay up all night watching infomercials. It's still better than what they're serving up now.
My parents. Was 24/7 for longer than I could remember. Incessant every time me,my wife and kids went to visit. They had only hate to offer. They had no tolerance, so they got none. The antithesis of how I was raised. Stopped contact in late 2015. They missed out on three wonderful grandkids.
THIS is exactly why we need strict gun laws and close all the stupid loopholes that allow this to happen. AR's and high capacity magazines with bump stocks. Have got to GO
Karma generally involves reincarnation. What you are thinking of is purported "instant karma," I term invented, if I recall correctly, by some musical group.
How is that going to help with the 2026 election? 1/3 of eligible voters didn’t vote in 2024. Why? Because they see no difference between the far right and the far left as to helping them.
All these assholes wear the same smug expression as Trump, but couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel. Good riddance.
That is amazing. He attacked a pizza restaurant with a rifle in the nation's capital and didn't get shot. And he learned nothing from it and eventually got shot. What a waste of life.
Yup, he #FA'd & finally got to his #FO part of the program! Anyone who would actually believe that #PizzagateConspiracy BS was a total loonytoon to begin with. Right #QAnon?
Sadly, the only nice thing I can think of is that there is one fewer gun toting mentally unstable guy out there and the world is just a little bit safer.
Like I said, in public, on a stage, to 200 people: "If you thought, based on something you read on FB, that Hillary Clinton runs a child prostitution ring out of a non-existent basement in a Boston pizza shop, your intelligence is in question." This guy and his ilk are cognitively impaired.
are we done? another guy tried to force himself into the basement, but he had the sensibility to attempt to secure evidence rather than kill random people, and he did lay down his arms and meekly submit to arrest when he realised there was absolutely none of the bullshit claimed.
GOOD. Never forget that Michael Flynn was part of that #pizzagate propaganda. It's shameful that he was never stripped of rank and courtmartialed for betraying our country.
Another senseless death. Caused by various fake information sources and someone with a mental impairment that doesn't allow him to see what is right and true vs. wrong and false.

Yeah the Charlotte Observer is owned by McClatchy and they’ve sadly managed to run what was once a great local newspaper into the ground. Was going to say it’s almost a shame to be sending them this much traffic but it appears they’re still f’ing themselves w the paywall lol smh
Apparently, he didn't get the assignment after having been handcuffed and placed down on his stomach...in the middle of Connecticut Ave., N.W. after that Pizzagate fiasco. Oh, well, FAFO!

Or at least sometime close to it.

Well that’s a match made in redundant
Absolutely stunned that the police got one right, though.

Fucks given: Zero, zip, zilch, nada, none, nein, nyet, non.
Now let's do Kyle Rittenhouse next.
Salute.
Anyway, I think I'll go get Mexican tonight. We got a really good local place.
Not everyone can handle the change
Don't try this at home kids 😂
Their tiny brains might implode
Recent events do hint at a lack of brain…
♾️
Not.
🥔🍐 to anyone who cares.
Yet this well known perpetrator of a firearms crime based on a crazy conspiracy could AGAIN get access to a gun?!
Maybe the conspiracy isn’t crazy, but the NRA’s reality.
Rot in hell, scumbag!

He might have served 4 years or whatever, but that clearly was not enough.
I assume the headline says the important stuff.
I use him as an example in my psych classes when we talk about the risks of believing conspiracy theories.
