The Comet Ping Pong folks should be nervous. If the government doesn't do anything, angry parents will. This is reprehensible and there will be accountability one way or another. I hope it gets done legally, but I won't be surprised if it ends up the latter.
Wait, so that happened with the Comet thing?
Is it related to Pizzagate somehow? Sorry if I sound dumb, I'm just out of the loop.

Just found man's ID per DC Police
DC police: Comet Ping Pong suspect is Edgar Maddison Welch of Salisbury, NC who said he came to investigate "pizzagate."

Tweet from Byron Tau says man was arrested and charged. Man said he came to "self investigate" pizzagate which is of course a fictitious online conspiracy theory.

I'm not saying this is the same person (could be, worth digging), but someone named Edgar Maddison Welch appears to be a writer and part-time background actor: https://archive.fo/ERtak

Not that far fetched. I know one guy from a small town in New England that does actor gigs. Not everyone moves to hollywood. His writing might be interestng. Sometimes you can see the unraveling of a brain tale place before your very eyes. Not sayig he is a crackpot. But really, walking around with a rifle in DC? You'd have to be at least half nuts.
