A small fire that burned curtains and forced the evacuation of the Comet Ping Pong pizza shop Wednesday night in Northwest Washington was intentionally set, according to D.C. police and fire officials.
A police report says investigators found several burned matches on the floor under where the curtain had hung in a backroom. The report says they also found a box of matches and an open, partially full plastic bottle of lighter fluid on a table.
The report says the curtains were destroyed in the fire, which was extinguished by staff members. Police had no detailed description of a possible person of interest.
No one was injured in the fire, which occurred shortly before 9:30 p.m. at the restaurant. The popular shop in the Chevy Chase neighborhood combines pizza with ping-pong tables.

This of course, is the pizza shop from the RW pizzagate conspiracy theories.

Prima facie evidence it was a running mate of Edgar Welch.

But it's good to remember them from time to time, and bring them up in discussions with conservatives. See if even they remember their "heroes."
