Man has apparently been detained. More in from WaPo (this is INSANE)

Posted by ty97 Dec 4 '16, 13:52

It’s not clear what motivated the suspect in Sunday’s incident. The restaurant, however, was swept up in the onslaught of fake news that was prevalent during the presidential campaign.

The restaurant’s owner and employees were threatened on social media in the days before the election, the New York Times reported, after fake news stories circulated claiming that then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her campaign chief were running a child sex ring from the restaurant’s back rooms. None of it was true, but the fake stories and threats persisted, some even aimed at the employees’ children.

- Well they're already trying to steal the election. -- nm - mafic Dec 4, 14:02
- I mean, we don't know that this action was driven by that, but apparently enough people bought it previously that the place needed police help. -- nm - ty97 Dec 4, 13:54
