'Pizzagate' gunman sentenced to 4 years in prison | Fox News


The man who walked into Comet Ping Pong, a Washington, D.C., pizza shop, armed with an AR-15 assault weapon and a revolver to investigate internet rumors has been sentenced to four years in prison.

Edgar Maddison Welch was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Washington.

U.S. District Judge Kentanji B. Jackson said that while no one was injured when Welch fired his weapon, his actions "literally left psychological wreckage."

In a court document filed ahead of the hearing, his attorney asked that he be sentenced to 1 1/2 years in prison. Prosecutors have asked for 4 1/2 years.

Welch acknowledged as part of a guilty plea in March that he entered the Comet Ping Pong restaurant Dec. 4 with an AR-15 assault weapon and a revolver.

He said he drove to the restaurant from North Carolina to investigate a conspiracy theory about Democrats harboring child sex slaves there.

Welch fired his gun multiple times when he came upon a locked storage closet.

After finding no children held against their will, Welch surrendered to police. He said ?that he had read online that the Comet restaurant was harboring child sex slaves and that he wanted to see for himself if they were there,? according to the arrest affidavit.

?[Welch] stated that he was armed to help rescue them,? it said.

Jackson said Welch"forged ahead" with an "ill-conceived plot" even though others urged him to abandon it. If Welch believed children were being harmed, he should have notified law enforcement, the judge said.

Welch spoke briefly to apologize, saying he realized that his words "cannot undo or change what already happened."

His mother, father, sister and fiancÎ?e were in the courtroom.

Two Comet Ping Pong workers and owner James Alefantis spoke before sentencing. Alefantis called "pizzagate" a "viscous web of lies" and said many people had suffered because of Welch's actions.

Should have sent Alex Jones to prison and sent that pathetic idiot to the state mental hospital for the criminally insane.

I think this is very, very scary. A fake story by a fake reporter gained enough traction during an election that someone who was armed believed it, and thought it was within their power to arm themselves and drive hundreds of miles to "investigate".

Shit, this was just Pizza Gate.. Talk to some of these fucking morons in some of the Militias out there. You want to be scared by crazed lunatics and realize these guys go out and train as a military while believing things like this Pizzagate or that Obama was a Muslim and was gonna over-though the US govt using ISIS or that the US govt was gonna round up gun owners and put them in FEMA camps.

I believe in the idea behind Militias but sadly, they are filled with fucking crazies like this guy. He makes some of them look tame actually.

Fake News and you got Duped.

You uninformed leftists believe that this was Alex Jones' story- that's FALSE. The story was huge on reddit, twitter and voat for 3 weeks before Jones discussed other people's coverage of it, AND he backed off the story BEFORE the fake shooter guy (hired by the Clintons / Podesta) went to the pizza shop.

But the MSM and Stephen Colbert said it's all Jones' fault, and you guys are so easily duped that you bought it.



Also, the emails released by Wikileaks are genuine, so you might want to actually read them.

The pizzagate conspiracy is a right wing conspiracy theory Paul, against Podesta, peddled by Alex Jones, the Trump sopporter, where Trump was on his show Paul. If a nutjob is such a huge Alex Jones supporter as to show up shooting a gun over an Alex Jones conspiracy, he's dumb enough to vote for who Alex Jones told them to vote for, Trump. See how that works

Holy shit BladeLiar, that's the dumbest conspiracy theory ever

Did you not read anything I posted? The story was already huge for WEEKS before Jones even mentioned it. It's based on Podesta's REAL emails. You may want to read them, after you read THIS

--> INTERNET SLEUTHS ARE CONVINCED THAT THE PODESTAS ARE THE KIDNAPPERS IN THESE POLICE SKETCHES



But it's all a right-wing conspiracy. Or you could do some research
