1. ya think?

I mean it's completely normal to act the way he does, right?

[brewens]

4. Beat me to the "ya think?" I use that a lot. If that guy can't pull off some sort of insanity

defense, then it really shouldn't be viable for any crime.

[WarGamer]

7. Definitely.

[nolabear]

12. Me too. And I'm a mental health pro.

My shocked face. 😳

[Trueblue1968]

2. evil man is as sane as i am !!!!!! LOCK HIM UP... IN JAIL--25 YEARS no parole.

[ChubbyStar]

3. The Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes want their fucking hat back n/t

5. Several of these people, Chansley included, are simply fools

It's the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and really violent types (like Jack Whitton of Georgia, AKA "Scallops" ) that I'm worried about. Chansley should probably receive probation and a fuckload of counseling, with time served. He's simply a fool, an idiot. Focus on the serious and scary ones.

13. I agree. Yet they're the ones that get released pre-trial to go on family vacations

I'll never get it.

[brush]

22. Time served? Are you kidding? The fucker invaded the nation's Capitol along with...

the rest of them. You don't get off because you're a fool. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

I'm already worried about sympathetic judges and juries letting these insurrectionists off easy because they look like them and feel sorry for them (not Black of other POCs), and you're calling for time served.

Oh hell no. They attempted a coup against the government.

[IcyPeas]

6. pffft. the same guy that demanded organic food

[angrychair]

8. I'll take...

"Things that don't surprise me" for $200 Alex.

[littlemissmartypants]

9. Maybe

They're seeking to affirm or refute the statement his lawyer made about him being on "the spectrum" a couple of days ago.

[Sanity Claws]

10. We may end up with proof that Trumpsters are certifiably insane.

[tenderfoot]

11. He's not mental - he's just a narcissist like Trump

eom

[I_UndergroundPanther]

16. You got that right

Fucking narcissist playing the poor widdle me mental illness card.

[edbermac]

14. He's a Republican and voted for Trump

And they have to give him a psychiatric investigation? Why bother?

[spanone]

15. Hmmmmm.....

[marble falls]

17. This will be good. I think he's taking a bad path. You can mentally and still criminal.

[lpbk2713]

18. Catch-45

If an insurrectionist is deemed insane, they don't have to be imprisoned.

To be deemed insane, an insurrectionist must request to be evaluated.

If an insurrectionist requests to be evaluated, this demonstrates that he must be sane.

Therefore, no insurrectionist can ever be deemed insane, and no insurrectionist can get out of prison.

[FakeNoose]

19. The lawyer is sane, and he's very much a shyster

I say ... "Lock them both up!"

[Sneederbunk]

20. Or as they used to say, a candling.

[ZonkerHarris]

21. He already failed the idiot test.

[Ilsa]

23. What a weasel.

He'd rather be labeled insane, even temporarily.

[Skittles]

24. too bad they can't be ordered for all Trump humpers

sick, sick folk
