Man who attacked D.C. pizza parlor in 2016 is killed by police in N.C.

A North Carolina man who fired shots into a popular D.C. pizza parlor that internet conspiracy theorists convinced him housed a satanic pedophile ring was shot to death last week by two North Carolina police officers. Authorities said he pulled a gun on them during a traffic stop.

Edgar Maddison Welch became the name and face associated with the “Pizzagate” theory — the bizarre suggestion that children were being trafficked out of Comet Ping Pong, a busy, family-oriented pizza shop on Connecticut Avenue in Northwest Washington. On a Sunday afternoon in December 2016, having driven straight from his hometown of Salisbury, North Carolina, police said, Welch walked into the restaurant openly carrying an AR-15-style rifle and a revolver, causing customers and employees to flee in horror.

After a few minutes, Welch encountered a locked room and tried to force open the door, firing his rifle multiple times into the door, federal prosecutors said. After spending more than 20 minutes inside, Welch dropped his guns and exited Comet Ping Pong unarmed. No one was hurt. He would later plead guilty to federal firearms charges and receive a sentence of four years in prison. Federal records show he was released from custody in May 2020.

On the morning of Jan. 4, police in Kannapolis, North Carolina, northeast of Charlotte, said they encountered Welch as a passenger in a GMC Yukon and determined he was wanted for a felony probation violation. Officers moved to his side of the car and ordered him out of the vehicle, according to a release from the Kannapolis Police Department.

When an officer attempted to open the passenger door to arrest Welch, police allege that Welch pulled a handgun from his jacket and pointed it at the officer. That officer, and a second officer who arrived to assist, commanded Welch to drop the weapon, Kannapolis police said. Authorities allege that he refused, leading both officers to fire, police said.

Welch was hospitalized and died Jan. 6, police said. Kannapolis police identified the officers as Brooks Jones and Caleb Tate. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is investigating the shooting.

I have yet to spot a bad part of this news...

I remember this. According to Pizzagate, the children were being held captive in the basement of the pizza joint. To his chagrin, Welch discovered that the building didn't have a basement.

Another day, another attempt by Colorado Democrats to try and find loopholes around the Second Amendment and the Constitution as a whole. 

How many millions of dollars are Americans willing to waste on these ridiculous lawsuits that result from their unconstitutional behaviors?

https://www.denver7.com/news/politics/co...-magazines

 aims to ban the manufacture, distribution, transfer, sale, or purchase of a "specified semiautomatic firearm," which includes semiautomatic rifles and shotguns, along with gas-operated semiautomatic handguns that have a detachable ammunition magazine.

Under the bill, a semiautomatic gun with a detachable magazine could still be transferred to an heir, someone in another state, or a federally licensed firearm dealer.


If the bill became law, violations would be considered a misdemeanor offense. A second violation escalates to a felony charge.
SB25-003 also prohibits the possession of a dangerous weapon, a category that includes rapid-fire devices.

A MAGA visit intended to make Greenland look pro–Donald Trump appears staged from the bottom up.

The so-called tourism trip saw Donald Trump Jr., far-right political pundit Charlie Kirk, and Trump administration staffer Sergio Gor visit the self-governing Danish territory at a time when the president-elect has made some odd jokes and eyebrow-raising militaristic threats about buying Greenland.

---

Danish media reported Thursday that a series of photos featuring Kirk and Greenlandic residents in MAGA hats was staged. The MAGA cohort reportedly rounded up homeless people from the area—including one person from under a bridge—promising them a meal at the Hotel Hans Egede in exchange for their participation in the pro-Trump photo circuit.

Videos of the trip that circulated on X describe the Greenlandic participants as “the local community in Nuuk,” but several local sources that spoke with DR News described the photographed individuals as “homeless and socially disadvantaged” people who are often outside the supermarket directly across from the hotel where the Trump event was held.

“All they have to do is put on a cap and be in the Trump staff’s videos. They are being bribed, and it is deeply distasteful,” Tom Amtoft, a 28-year resident of Nuuk, told the Danish news outlet.

Amtoft reportedly witnessed the group’s attempts to get locals to wear the MAGA caps for the photos, describing the process as “very aggressive.” He said the Trump envoys chose a “selective” group of people “who could say that Greenland should be bought.”
