The Washington Post ^ | 12/4/2016 | Susan Svrluga and Faiz Siddiqui

D.C. Police responding Sunday to a report of a gunman at a popular pizza restaurant in Northwest Washington detained a man armed with an assault rifle, according to a police spokeswoman.

D.C. police Chief Peter Newsham said a lone suspect in his 20s walked into the front door of Comet Ping Pong with an assault rifle. Newsham said it appeared as if the suspect may have fired one or multiple shots into the ground. The man has not yet been identified and his motives were not clear.

Edgar madison welch is the guy in the incident today. Went to investigate

Looks like you called this one right. Mentally ill guy decided to investigate a fake conspiracy.

DC Police Dept. release: His full name is Edgar Maddison Welch, 28, of Salisbury, NC.

(Spelling difference is how it was reported)

I don't think there are enough links in the blogosphere of witnesses who have been raped, tortured, or worse for this assclown. He's just a troll who likes the notoriety.

You can't research the numerous pedo rings that are worldwide and not come away with the knowledge that this is a huge problem worldwide and is being hidden by higher ups in law enforcement almost everywhere.

What really got me were the countless videos of young people who had been molested raped or worse year after year and hardly anyone goes to jail.

then again, some people are simply not worth convincing.

Welcome to FR make sure you always wear a flack jacket here.There are dozens of geezers who have little to do but take pot shots at anyone they think they can get a rise out of.Even with all that it’s still a great place to call home away from home.

Thank you! :-)

I’ve been a lurker here since 2007, when I arrived here desperate for a place that wasn’t in love w/ Obama. Screwed up my courage to become a member and start posting when wikileaks hit, because I knew that the folks here would be able to take a look at some of what we were finding and 1) make connections and understand it, and 2) pick it apart and help sort out the crap from the solid info. (Many of the kids on r/The_Donald, where most of the research was happening, hadn’t even been born when the grifter Clintons were in the White House, so they had zero knowledge/context for a lot of what was being found.)

Do you mean IMDB?

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2625901/

I'm not able to confirm it's the same person, as there's no bio.

But, filming for all the productions in his filmography except one were in Salisbury or Wilmington, NC.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do a more extensive search before all the news sites were picked up by Google. Now, the results are dominated by news reports and blog posts.

Where did you find his social media posts?

I’ve been there. It’s quite reassuring when you are surrounded by Israelis in uniform and in civis with weapons slung.

Ah, I found it:

https://archive.is/WgdOF

It says it is from Facebook: a href=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152835413653100

Following that link provides his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/maddison.welch.33

However, I don't know how to confirm or refute it's the same guy. There isn't any bio information.

Getting more info requires logging into Facebook, and I don't do Facebook.

I take that back. It could be him based on connections..to salisbury nc...not on a friendly investigative machinery so someone else will have to look. If it is him...interesting bio.

Could be him based on friends...and that obit I found with family names. Harry welch jr has a production company of some kind.

There's some crossover from the IMDB entry I found earlier to this one:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2124178/

They both worked on "The Mill" in 2008. But, nothing more recent.

Who is a single "pizzagate" victim? No one has come forward and alleged abuse.

In your apparent rush to judgement regarding these atrocities, you've failed to recognize the scope of what's being investigated. It's about the Clintons, and their billionaire friends, not just a pizza shop in D.C. Ever heard of Jeffrey Epstein, or "pedophile island?" How about Virginia Roberts, and Jane Doe's 1-4 who are being preventing from charging him thanks to immunity that was granted as part of his original conviction as a child molester?
