A man who fired an assault rifle inside a Washington, D.C., restaurant in December 2016 while claiming to investigate the "pizzagate" hoax died this week after being fatally shot by police during a traffic stop in Kannapolis, North Carolina.

When officers recognized Welch and moved to arrest him, he produced a handgun from his jacket and pointed it at one of the officers, police said, and after refusing commands to drop the gun, two officers opened fire on him.

    So this violent stupid asshole has just been walking around free the whole time? You can get convinced to shoot up a random restaurant by 4chan and still be considered safe to be in public? But you shoot one health extortionist...
