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.

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.

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.

The video I saw on twitter had the barricade tape put up in a kinda random fashion before they even took the guy into custody... unless it was a very prolonged standoff I dont think theyd do that... just randomly string a big piece from the mailbox to a bush in front of the guy filming... in all the same guy's photos it was properly cropped so the tape looked believable... except that anyone would set it up that early.

And when they keep all the cop cars there for hours and hours after the event has ended... and they all still have the flashing lightbar going off in a red and blue rave while the cops give interviews... you gotta kinda suspect there is a bit of showmanship afoot.
