Edgar Maddison Welch was arrested in 2017 after he shot up the Comet Ping Pong Pizza restaurant to \u2018self-investigate\u2019 for signs of \u2018PizzaGate\u2019 theories<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Kannapolis Police Department issued a news release on Thursday announcing that Edgar Maddison Welch was shot to death by police during a traffic stop on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

According to the release on the Kannapolis Fire and Police Facebook page, sometime around 10pm on January 4th, a Kannapolis Police Officer saw a 2001 GMC Yukon and recognized the vehicle \u201cas one normally driven by an individual who he had previously arrested and knew had an outstanding warrant for arrest.\u201d\u00a0 The warrant was reportedly for Felony Probation Violation.<\/p>\n

No other cause for initiating the traffic stop was given.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As the initiating officer was speaking with the driver, two additional officers arrived on scene.\u00a0 The initiating officer recognized the passenger as the individual with the outstanding warrant.\u00a0 According to the news release:<\/p>\n

\n

The officer who initiated the traffic stop approached the passenger side of the vehicle and opened the front passenger\u2019s door to arrest the individual. When he opened the door, the front seat passenger pulled a handgun from his jacket and pointed it in the direction of the officer. That officer and a second officer who was standing at the rear passenger side of the Yukon gave commands for the passenger to drop the gun. After the passenger failed to comply with their repeated requests, both officers fired their duty weapon at the passenger, striking him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Welch was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries on January 6th.\u00a0 The officers who fired their service weapons were placed on administrative leave, as is standard protocol, and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is investigating the shooting.<\/p>\n\n

Edgar Maddison Welch was sentenced to four years in prison in June 2017 for an incident involving an AR-15 rifle and a revolver.\u00a0 Welch fired into a door of a Northwest Washington DC pizza restaurant, sending employees and customers scattering, according to a Department of Justice release<\/a> in 2017.<\/p>\n

Welch plead guilty to a federal charge of interstate transportation of a firearm and ammunition and a District of Columbia charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.\u00a0 He was sentenced by now-Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.<\/p>\n

According to a FOX News report from that timeframe, Welch\u2019s shooting at the door conveniently hit a computer that was stored in the closet with a digitized keypad for \u201cbags\u201d and a \u201ccoat closet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

North Carolina police fatally shot the Pizzagate gunman Edgar Maddison Welch in a traffic stop on Saturday and he died in the hospital two days later.<\/p>\n

Welch is the patsy who was used in the false flag shooting at Comet Ping Pong in 2016 that enabled MSM scum like Megyn Kelly to\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/FH26qbBKjl<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/RX4mdN3zQl<\/a><\/p>\n

The restaurant the crime was committed at was the Comet Ping Pong Pizza restaurant, which was at the center of what the media calls the \u2018PizzaGate\u2019 \u201cconspiracy theory.\u201d\u00a0 \u2018PizzaGate\u2019 alleged that a child sex-trafficking ring was being run out the restaurant.\u00a0 This was based on the WikiLeaks of former Chief of Staff to President Clinton and Hillary Clinton\u2019s 2016 campaign manager, John Podesta.<\/p>\n

In June 2023, the Wall Street Journal ran a story<\/a> titled Instagram Algorithm Readily Spreads Underage Sexual Content, WSJ Investigation Finds.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>In that report, they stated:<\/p>\n

\n

Some Instagram users utilize codes to very thinly veil their activity. A map emoji could represent an account appealing to \u201cminor-attracted persons,\u201d while \u201ccheese pizza\u201d could stand for child pornography.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Former CBS Atlanta anchor Ben Swann was fired in January 2018 after he revived the story of \u2018PizzaGate\u2019 during a segment called\u00a0Reality Check with Ben Swann.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

During the segment, Swann mentioned that \u201cpizza\u201d was a codeword used by pedophiles and that Podesta had \u201cdozens\u201d of emails that mention \u201cpizza,\u201d including one that mentions a handkerchief with a map to pizza.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Comet Ping Pong Pizza is referenced \u201cat least a dozen or so times\u201d in the Podesta emails.\u00a0 The owner of the restaurant, James Alefantis, is a friend of Podesta, according to Swann\u2019s reporting.\u00a0 Ironically, Alefantis was also named as one of GQ\u2019s \u201cTop 50 Most Powerful People in D.C.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swann acknowledges that there is \u201cno solid evidence\u201d that Comet Ping Pong is being used to traffic children.\u00a0 However, he does mention a 2007 unclassified FBI report that shows logos typically used by pedophiles to express their preference in children.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, the pizza place next door to Comet Ping Pong, Besta Pizza, had a similar design to their logo, which they changed to remove the controversial part a few weeks before Swann\u2019s report.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Swann then pointed out two bands that have performed at Comet Ping Pong in 2016 called\u00a0Heavy Breathing<\/em> and Sex Stains<\/em>.\u00a0 Heavy Breathing<\/em> had YouTube videos posted that \u201cjoke\u201d about pedophilia while\u00a0Sex Stains<\/em> had a video that included one of the 2007 unclassified report\u2019s symbols for pedophilia.<\/p>\n

The owner, Alefantis, was previously in a relationship with Media Matters founder David Brock.\u00a0 On Alefantis\u2019s private social media accounts, Swann claimed there were pictures \u201ctoo disturbing to share on TV\u201d and too disturbing to even describe on his report.<\/p>\n

Welch, back in 2017, had come to the restaurant to \u2018self-investigate\u2019 the PizzaGate claims.\u00a0 He used the rifle to blow open a locked door after a failed attempt with a butter knife.\u00a0 After about 20 minutes inside the restaurant alone, he exited the building with the weapons left inside.<\/p>\n

Despite Mockingbird Media claims that \u2018PizzaGate\u2019 has been debunked, there has never been an official investigation in the claims.<\/p>\n
