Newly Freed 'QAnon Shaman' Just Can't Keep His Mouth Shut

[Zorro]

Just hours after his release, Jacob Chansley appeared to be leaning into the same conspiracies that got him into trouble in the first place.

Just hours after being released from federal custody Thursday, Jacob Chansley, the convicted Jan. 6 rioter dubbed “Qanon Shaman” for his distinctive Capitol riot costume, is back on Twitter. And it appears he isn’t giving up the bit.

In his first post back, Chansley uploaded a computer-generated image of himself howling in the back of a police car—while wearing his namesake headdress and red, white and blue face paint. The caption was just one word: “FREEDOM!!!”

Shortly after, Chansley posted a five-minute clip on the “Forbidden Truth Podcast” Twitter account. It contained a rambling monologue in which he insisted that he has “learned numerous lessons during the test which God has graced me with over the last two and a half years.”

“I have no animosity or hatred towards the United States federal government,” Chansley said. “And I have forgiven my captors, and I pray for them.”

1. Who is surprised by this?

[FakeNoose]

2. If it's posted on Twitter it could be anybody pretending to be him

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. And I have forgiven him...until his next illegal transgression. nt

5. Serious mental problems....

6. I have often heard stories about people who went on LSD trips and never came back

They sounded exactly like what this lunatic is going through. He may have been connected to reality at some point, but reality was granted a divorce, and there has been no contact between them ever since.

8. Good description...

It's the first comparison I could make about him. So far out there that there's not enough line to reel him back.

7. "And I have forgiven my captors"

what exactly have his "captors" done that requires forgiveness? He's the moron who stormed the Capitol.

9. As a note - he was released from prison "early" (back at the end of March)

and this was a final release from custody out of what was dubbed a "re-entry Center" (Daily Beast calls it a "halfway house" ).

10. Aw, he forgave his "captors"? That's real big of him.

A truly repentant lawbreaker would ask for forgiveness for himself.
