'QAnon shaman' granted organic food in jail after report of deteriorating health

Source: politico via msn





A federal judge ordered the special diet after an attorney for Jacob Chansley, who took part in the Capitol riots, said his client needed it for religious and health reasons.

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered that the “QAnon shaman,” who was charged with taking part in the deadly riots at the Capitol, get organic food in a D.C. correctional facility after his lawyer told the court that his client needed the special diet for religious and health reasons.

Because of his “shamanic belief system and way of life,” eating food that isn’t organic or has “unnatural chemicals” would cause the client, Jacob Chansley, “systemic responses that are not simply discomforting, but debilitating and, notably, dehydrating,” attorney Albert Watkins wrote in a filing on Wednesday. Chansley had lost more than 20 pounds and his condition was “declining,” Watkins wrote............................

15. There is no scientific basis for 20 pound weight loss attributable to eating non-organic food
Thu Feb 4, 2021, 06:56 AM
Feb 2021

The principle of organic food (such as it is, and with little or no scientific proof) is that it is the long term effects (supposedly cancer) of the 'contaminants' of ordinary food.

If they gave him ordinary food and (but they can't) told him it was organic, he'd have the exact same health that he would have if he was fed organic food. The food would be exactly as nutritious.

The only reason he has lost weight is because he is eating less. If he is eating less because he's scared of nutritious ordinary food, then he's a snowflake.

If non-organic food caused weight loss, there would not be an obesity crisis in the western world.

By saying that they can't accomodate his religious requirements. So though it's galling, I' m okay with them giving him the food rather than releasing him.

He seems like an a**hole, but his nutritional needs and diets has nothing to do with his crimes, and there is no legality in punishing him by force feeding him bad food. This goes for anybody in the prisons, where food should be much better.

Last time I was jailed one of my best friends came to the prison with a gift basket full of the best food, but was rejected. In protest she played drums outside my prison all night .

No, I'm just sending a prevention message--not suggesting any intentionally malign efforts toward him.

This lunatic could hunger-strike himself to death and make a glorious horned martyr of himself. By giving him the food he says he needs, the judge has decided that it’s way better to take that argument away from the nazi racists with whom he dances.

And then drop a feeding tube in him. He was involved in an armed insurrection against the US. If he wants to eat organic, he should not have led a pack of assholes armed with a 6 foot spear. Send him to a Joe Arpio jail in pink underwear and give him 3 Baloney sandwiches on white bread daily. Fuck Him, they hang traitors. He can learn to eat prison food.

if he hangs after trial, that’s justice. If he dies pending trial, that’s a problem, a potentially serious political one for the Dems. Efforts should be made to ensure he doesn’t “Epstein” himself before trial. Once he’s tried and imprisoned, he’s on his own and can die of hunger for all anyone needs to care.

I just don’t want this horned dildo becoming a rallying point for Greene and her political party. I do not want him to become a talking point for that party.

(And while I agree he’s a traitor and should face the ultimate penalty, you and I know that ain’t gonna happen. Maybe a short stretch, no more than 5 years, plus another 5 probation. Shit, remember there are lots of McConnell-judges on Federal benches.)

I would love to see them test the courage of his convictions. I don’t care if he looses 50 lbs and is as weak as a baby. It takes a long time to starve yourself to death. Feed him organic peanut butter on organic celery for three meals a day, but then we better start individual planning meals for everyone in the prison system while we are at it.

These people make me sick, they inflicted terror on not only those people who were in the Capitol but millions who were watching in horror at home.

He's only being held before his trial occurs. What happens after he's convicted and sentenced to prison for x number of years? Surely he can't expect preferential food for all of that time.

to jail.

"He loved Trump. Every word, he listens to him.”

Angeli said:

"The fact that we had a bunch of our traitors in office hunker down, put on their gas masks and retreat into their underground bunker, I consider that a win."

So he's bragging about deliberately terrorizing members of Congress.

Why should a terrorist traitor like Angeli get special treatment in jail? Jail food is awful for all prisoners. If Angeli can get special treatment, a special diet, then all prisoners should be able to get a special diet.

That shit gets absorbed through his pores.

Then too, what about all that ink in his tattoos? I have a feeling it's something other than vegetable coloring.

It's probably cheaper to just supply the organic food than to have him evaluated, and go through rounds of litigation.

Funny, that doesn't seem to be working for millions of Americans.

look, I respect religious freedom or whatever this is. But if this dude's weight loss is real, then he's deliberately fasting. If he wasn't white, no one would give a shit.
