missed that one. So he credits on four movies. 3 behind the camera and one on camera.

It's like they don't even try to do research anymore.

AreWeSure

Seems the right age.

I don't know if "works on" captures it. I think more like he's trying to break into movies. Or he did. He's got three credits that are years apart.

Edgar Maddison Welch is known for his work on Mute (2011), The Mill (2008) and A Tale About Bootlegging (2005). His last credit is a 9 minute movie, so doubtful that this is commercial work.

Wonder if he does acting?

WTF? LOL suddenly the weapon was discharged? Not one witness mentioned that...most didn't even see a gun.

krisspykriss

And do you have any idea how loud a rifle is when fired indoors? It is literally deafening.

MAGABoomer

Yes...as a matter of fact I do :) that's why I made that comment. It's a flat out lie....lol fired inside a pizza place. WTF are they trying to pull?

krisspykriss

This shit is getting ever more strange by the day. The police originally said no shots were fired. It makes zero sense at all.

MAGABoomer

Not one of the witnesses heard a thing :D this is so funny. Keeps us on our toes! He's an actor?

krisspykriss

Yes, he was an actor. I feel he got bamboozled on this last gig of his.

MAGABoomer

LOL oops..wonder if he wore a diaper on his road trip to attack the Comet? :D

krisspykriss

In all seriousness, sometimes the tactical requirements depend on Depends. :D

MAGABoomer

The mission...at all costs!

krisspykriss

Taking one for the team always ends with humility.

AreWeSure

early reports said he shot one or more times. I think they said he shot into the ground.

carmencita

This whole thing reeks to high heaven. An actor? Might have had a gun, shot gun, assault weapon. Which one? How many shots were fired? Oh, None, No wait, fired into the ground. I am sorry I am just not buying it. The article of him hitting that boy, no followup. No charges? He was not even taken in? Also, it was too obvious that they cooked this up to slam #Pizzagate. What else will we find out about the "gunman"? Also the cameras were tinkered with. Wow.

krisspykriss

Before that they said no shot were fired. None of the people interviewed mentioned a shot fired. When shots are fired, people tend to mention that in an interview.
