| We got security coming in saying that there was a fire drill trying to fire marshals at the building. | |
| So everybody did leave. | |
| And we're here. | |
| We're trying to figure out what it is. | |
| Then we see all these police cars here. | |
| No fire trucks. | |
| That's obviously not a fire drill. | |
| Male Anapoulos. | |
| We're here to host an event with a bunch of people who wanted to gather, express their ideas and their opinions on Gamergate, and mostly people who are supporting the movement. | |
| Roughly, probably like around 12:30 or so, there was an apparent bomb threat that was called in. | |
| Everyone who was inside was asked to leave the premises on a part of a fire drill for them to investigate the situation. | |
| I don't want to leave anyone out of the drill. | |
| There's a lot of things going on, a lot of mixed messages as far as I'm aware. | |
| I've heard everything from a bomb threat to somebody called the fire marshal to somebody from fire alarm. | |
| Oh yeah, Friday night, terrible time for a fire drill. | |
| Fire marshals never do that, especially to a place like this, which like this is a big bar with me to. | |
| Yeah, they wouldn't be shutting it down unless they like got like a threat. | |
| So as far as I saw Christina Huff Summers leave in a cab, I assume she thought Milo has gone down to another bar that we have spread through word of mouth. | |
| I've heard a direct call was made to Dispatch saying that there was apparently a bomb inside the premises. | |
| Of course, there is no one that I can say that was part of this last night who was taking responsibility for the bomb threat. | |
| And maybe what most people are saying is someone on TV calls a lot of time outside who is responsible for even making the bomb threat in the first place. | |
| This is a meeting for people who supported Gamergate. | |
| Nice, peaceful meeting. | |
| We mostly spend a lot of time laughing and drinking. | |
| And ship hosting. | |
| And ship hosting. | |
| This is true. | |
| We have an investigation going on right now. | |
| I can't go into any specifics about what we're doing. | |
| We have to safeguard the building to get the people out. | |
| Once the investigation's over, once we deem the building safe, everybody will be allowed to go back in. | |
| Is that the K-9 unit that just arrived? | |
| Yes, it is. | |
| And what is the K-9 unit? | |
| What do they generally take care of? | |
| I cannot tell you that. | |
| I know the person who owns it is an immigrant and don't know how many places they own here, but this is not a chain. | |
| This is not Starbucks. | |
| They're hurting the bottom line of someone who's trying to make money tonight. | |
| And they succeeded, so congratulations. | |
| Some jackass called in a fire thing when there wasn't one. | |
| Because people were having too good a time talking about video games. | |
| Yes. | |
| It's okay. | |
| The after party's better. | |
| That's right. |
