Defendant, who prosecutors say stormed Capitol in a QAnon shirt, says he 'fell victim' to conspiracies and was fed 'a pack of lies' by Trump

Douglas Jensen, an Iowa man who was indicted on several federal charges related to the January 6 insurrection, is seeking a release from custody ahead of his arraignment hearing, arguing that he "fell victim" to conspiracy theories.

The new request for release was issued ahead of Jensen's arraignment at a DC federal court on Tuesday. His attorney claimed that Jensen has been "languishing" in a DC jail for six months. He was arrested five months ago.

Prosecutors say that in several viral videos, Jensen can be seen in front of Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman, as well as other officers, amid one of the first waves of rioters to break into the Capitol. He's pictured sporting a T-shirt with a QAnon logo with an eagle in the center, accompanied by the group's slogan.

1. Baa Baa Black Sheep

No mind of your own huh? Consequences...

[Freethinker65]

2. Spoon fed. All he needed to do was knock the spoon away.

[TraceNC]

3. Ah yes, the "party of personal responsibility."

Absolutely Trump is at the heart of this. But these drooling morons made a choice to follow him.

[MagickMuffin]

4. Douglas Jensen, you didn't fall into anything, YOU embraced it

So sad, you didn't THINK about the consequences of YOUR actions. No one made you do anything that YOU weren't willing to do on YOUR own.

YOU OWN THIS!

12. "Douglas Jensen, you didn't fall into anything, YOU embraced it."

Douglas Jensen chose to listen to all those hate talk radio/TV, read internet whack a doodle crap,
go to QAnon meetings, read Russian pro QAnon propaganda, drop out of school in the 10th grade
(just a guess on my part), be a racist dumb fuck, and have breakfasts of crystal meth and bud beer
fuck him.

BTW if you go along on a bank robbery you will be charged with bank robbery even though you
were not the leader of the gang.

5. Ah, The Old "I'm A Moron" Defense

Seems to be getting quite popular among these traitorous thugs.

10. The funny thing is, they are morons. Guilty ones though.

[onecaliberal]

6. Too bad. You commit crimes you do the time.

How could any same person be convinced to try to overthrow the government. Nope. Should have thought before.

[-misanthroptimist]

7. Yer not a victim, Mr. Jensen. You're a perpetrator.

If you want to change that then I highly recommend taking a course in critical thinking while you are incarcerated.

You'll thank me later.

[brush]

8. The idiot had already slurped up Q-Anon lies so he was...

totally ready to gobble down trump's big lie.

Too bad. So sad. Stay in jail.

[Buns_of_Fire]

9. And to think they get upset because everyone *else* thinks they're stupid.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse, Dougie. Neither is just plain old ignorance.

[Whiskeytide]

11. This is the asshole that chased ...

… officer Eugene Goodman up the stairs. Menacing jagoff.

He should not be released.

[Windy City Charlie]

13. All of them

Every single one of them knew what they were doing. They all could careless if they got arrested at the time. They figured what they did that day would keep Trump in office and that Trump would show how much he cared about them by having them all released before they even saw a jail cell. It's only because they're now realizing what the reality is going to be that they're trying to play the victim.

[Dawson Leery]

14. Had these terrorists succeeded, they would not claim to be victims.

[Merlot]

15. "I'm not sorry I broke the law, but am terribly sorry that I got caught."

"Further more, I fully expected to be seen as a hero, so this whole prison thing kinda sucks. Can I go home now?"

[ZonkerHarris]

16. He was asking for it by the way he was dressed.

[CatWoman]

22. LOL!!!!

[NCjack]

17. Poor simpleton, wants us to believe that in a tasting test,

he can't tell the difference between chocolate ice cream and Trump's shit.

[lagomorph777]

18. No, asshole. You're not the victim.

[obamanut2012]

19. If not fpr Officer Goodman, Jensen would have entered the Senate Chamber

As part of the traitor vanguard, and Senators would have been taken hostage, murdered, raped, tortured, etc. Including Pence and his family.

[MissMillie]

20. How much you want to bet that outside the court room

he's repeating and spreading the same lies?

[11 Bravo]

21. Ah yes, the old "I'm an idiot/I was only following orders" defense.

That should go well.
