D.C. pizzeria gunman speaks out

Edgar Maddison Welch, who has admitted to being the gunman who opened fire inside of the Washington, D.C., pizzeria Comet Ping Pong on Sunday, expressed regret in a new interview with the New York Times.
“I just wanted to do some good and went about it the wrong way,” he told the paper Wednesday, speaking via videoconference from an old hospital building next to a city jail.
No one was injured by the gunfire, but Welch’s actions drew national attention because he was motivated by a fringe conspiracy theory about the pizzeria. Police say Welch told them he wanted to “self-investigate” the theory, which purported that Comet is the center of a child-sex ring involving Hillary Clinton and her campaign chief.
He told the Times that he felt his “heart breaking over the thought of innocent people suffering” at the pizza shop, and he wanted to “shine some light” on the supposed misdeeds taking place there.
“The intel on this wasn’t 100 percent,” he admitted, saying he recently had Internet service installed and his online research left him with the “impression something nefarious was happening.”
He also said he listens to talk radio host Alex Jones, a prominent conspiracy theorist who has even questioned the December 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where a gunman shot and killed 20 children and six adults.
Notably, federal authorities said Wednesday that a Sandy Hook conspiracy theory motivated a Florida woman to threaten a parent whose child was killed at the elementary school. The woman, Lucy Richards, was charged with four counts of transmitting threats in interstate commerce.

So this guy just recently got internet access, just happened to stumble upon "pizzagate," and just happened to be inclined to take a gun into the restaurant to "self-investigate?" Yeah, I'm skeptical.

That quote doesn't ring true. He sounds lucid and nobody that lucid 'recently' got internet and immediately began researching pizza gate and then grabbed his gun and shot the ceiling at the pizza joint.
He is either just wanting attention or it is a false flag operation - If he was really a menacing presence in possession of a gun he would have been shot down immediately.

Why are you so defensive though?
Think about it like this. You are running a pedo ring, all of a sudden attention is drawn to you because of undisputed legit emails. Why not pay off your stereotypical white gunman to go in, fire a shot in the air and paint the opposition as a bunch of loons because of it? That's not that far fetched of an idea.

My buddy used to work at comet pizza, his job was to stock the prize machines and to oil the secret trapdoor in the ball pit that the democrats grabbed the children through.
He got fired because politicians kept getting stuck in there

You see guys. He just wanted to start a conversation. He needed space to vent.

It's a conspiracy within a conspiracy!
He's too perfect of a crackpot!

Like he said, why are you so angry and defensive about it? Why even come in and comment about it. Are you trying to defend Hillary and all her fricked up baby raping cronies honor, or still just mad and bitter about the election results? My guess would be a little of both.

That reads like a fricking Onion article.

Is the guy really an actor? Does that make people think this is a set up? Remember the actor that rushed Trump's stage then was giving interviews the day after on TV news?
