'QAnon Shaman' Jacob Chansley sentenced to 41 months in prison for role in US Capitol riot
Source: CNN
(CNN)Jacob Chansley, the so-called "QAnon Shaman," was sentenced to 41 months in prison for his role in the US Capitol riot.
The Justice Department had asked for Chansley to receive a harsh sentence as a way to set an example among the January 6 rioters, and prosecutors have positioned Chansley as emblematic of a barbaric crowd.
Since then, Chansley gained fame as the "QAnon Shaman," a figure known in the fringe online movement and for widely shared photos that captured him wearing face paint and a headdress inside the Senate chamber.
Judge Royce Lamberth has had Chansley held in jail since his arrest, despite his multiple attempts to gain sympathy and his release.

(12,601 posts)The job this yahoo wanted was to make himself stand out among the amorphous surge of insurrectionists, and reap the rewards thereof. He certainly accomplished that by becoming the face of the insurrection. I guess by wearing that costume he set himself up for a hefty prison sentence, when compared to those who weren't dressed like they were going to a football game.

And isn't gullible enough to fall for any more Q conspiracy horseshit.

Call me when the zip tie guy (above link) goes down.
Despite shaman guy being a face of the insurrection, again not involved in planning. He is simply bone tossed to the prols. and it's surprising how many here fall for it.
