A man who fired a gun inside a Washington D.C. restaurant, motivated by a fake online conspiracy theory called “Pizzagate” nearly a decade ago, was shot and killed by North Carolina police during a weekend traffic stop.

When the officers approached the vehicle to arrest Welch, police said the man pulled out a handgun and pointed it at one of the officers. After he was instructed to drop the weapon but didn’t, two officers shot Welch, authorities said.

We have grown so used to alt right terrorism, it is barely a news story anymore. It is just the background noise of American life.

If he had been a Muslim, it would have been a huge news story. If he had been a liberal, it would have been the news story of the century.

He was an alt right terrorist, and we expect a few alt right terrorist attacks every day.

I've always suspected when right-wing nut jobs disappear from this board their demise wasn't always due to natural causes.

"Pizzagate" is a conspiracy theory that went viral during the 2016 United States presidential election cycle, falsely claiming that the New York City Police Department (NYPD) had discovered a pedophilia ring linked to members of the Democratic Party while searching through Anthony Weiner's emails.

it has been extensively discredited by a wide range of organizations, including the Washington, D.C. police.

Almost as amazing as claiming that the wildfires were not happening in Los Angeles city and then running away when it is pointed out that the Pacific Palisades are literally in the 11th district of said city?

Lol, imagine citing the BBC, the longtime employer of the mass-child-raping-pedophile Jimmy Savile (and who helped hide the child rape gangs in the country), and pretending they have any sort of credibility in reporting about pedophile rings.
 

Pizzagate: A slice of fake news​

This week, we teamed up with Rolling Stone and The Investigative Fund to explore how fake news starts, snowballs, and sometimes erupts into gun-fire. The conspiracy theory Pizzagate alleged that top Democrats were running a child sex trafficking ring out of Comet Ping Pong, a D.C. pizza parlor. They weren’t. But that didn’t stop one armed man from traveling to the restaurant and firing three times during the busy Sunday rush, looking for a basement that doesn’t exist. The episode opens as Reveal producer Laura Starecheski joins The Investigative Fund’s Amanda Robb in an attempt to track down the people responsible for starting the hoax. Their reporting takes them to Joplin, Missouri, in search of the woman who may have launched Pizzagate on Facebook. Next, Robb heads to Macedonia (one of the “fake news capitals of the world”) to better understand who profits off viral hoaxes. She finds that many fake news purveyors have no political bias or ideology; they’re just hoping to make some money in a country where jobs are scarce. With their help, and with a surprising assist from American fake news sites like Breitbart and The Blaze, Pizzagate rocketed from a fringe idea into the mainstream conversation. Finally, our reporters take a close look at automated social media accounts, also known as bots, which have become part of the political landscape. To what extent did these bots help spread Pizzagate? And were any of them tied to fake social media accounts run by Russian propagandists? Reveal cyber security reporter Aaron Sankin answers that question. Ultimately, the story shows how fake news can have real consequences. “My name has been torn to shreds,” Comet Ping Pong owner James Alefantis said. “And then there are all these other people that continue to perpetrate these conspiracy theories and lies online and there are absolutely no repercussions for these people and I wonder when they will be held accountable.”

January 1, 2025 - New Orleans Truck Attack: A truck drove through the French Quarter, killing at least 15 and injuring dozens. The attack was investigated as terrorism with an ISIS flag found in the vehicle. We all know ISIS would vote Democrat
January 1, 2025 - Cybertruck Explosion: An explosion involving a Cybertruck was reported outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas.
Do I need to say it on this one?
December 4, 2024 - Luigi Mangione Incident: Luigi Mangione allegedly shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan. This was a targeted attack, with Mangione facing charges of murder and terrorism. Brainwashed by Libtard media and university to hate companies that profit and constantly creates narratives of injustices perpetrated by evil rich people (especially white males) that treat the hard workers like slaves for their profit.
October 7, 2023 - Hamas Attacks on Israel: Marked the tragic anniversary of attacks where 1,200 men, women, and children, including 46 Americans, were killed by Hamas. Not here but has massive implications for us and we already know how Hamas would vote.
December 16, 2024 - Wisconsin School Shooting: A 15-year-old, Natalie Rupnow, opened fire at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, killing a fellow student and a teacher before committing suicide. Let's face it she was shooting at Christians and loved other shooter and Hitler who was basically a Libtard who was openly racist but his authoritarian policies were nearly the same as Mao's and Stalins and Castro and Maduro and Pol Pot and Kim Dong Umf, etc, etc.
July 13, 2024: During a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, an assassination attempt was made on Trump. Obviously a Libtard.
September 15, 2024: Another apparent assassination attempt occurred while Trump was golfing at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Total Libtard Lunatic
January 20, 2017: During Trump's inauguration, there were violent protests in Washington, D.C., where Antifa and other groups engaged in property destruction, including smashing windows and setting fires. All Libtards
June 14, 2017 - Congressional Baseball Game Shooting: James Hodgkinson opened fire on Republican members of Congress practicing for the Congressional Baseball Game in Alexandria, Virginia. Several were injured, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.No explanation necessary.
May to July 2020: Following the death of George Floyd, there was a surge in protests nationwide, many of which turned violent in various cities. While these protests were predominantly about racial justice and police brutality, some instances involved Antifa elements, particularly in places like Portland and Seattle. These protests often included acts of vandalism, looting, and arson. All Libtards
Dec 22nd 2024 - Lady Set on Fire in NY Subway: An incident where a woman was set on fire in the New York subway system. This one sits squarely on the Libtards for loving that open border and we know who that drone would have voted for. I could make a very long list of incidents that are directly tied to the opened border, the drones should throw at least 20 points for a low estimate of recent tradedies.
Still Happening- Several Stabbings in NY Subway: Multiple stabbings occurred in the New York subway. We'll wait and see on these, but I'd put my money on a Libtard.
January 29, 2019: Jussie Smollett, an actor from........Oh, wait that was a Libtard fantasy, opps


Those are only a few, other than the 'Pizzagate' dude I can't think of another case of an alt right example. Help Me Out.
