Capitol Hill rioter 'QAnon Shaman' to argue he was brainwashed by online cult, as lawyer plans 'dumbass' defence

Falsehoods about the election helped bring insurrectionists to the Capitol in January, and now some who are facing criminal charges for their actions during the riot hope their gullibility might save them, or at least engender some sympathy.

Pure setup by the left.

Too bad, there are photos out there of him fairly being guided by a staffer / escorted up the stairs and into the Chamber by a small army of press photographers.

You could use the online-cult thing for both the far-right and far-left extreme. But if you were on a jury facing this...you’d have to recommend some kind of six-month-long anti-cult rehab program, if you proclaimed them innocent.

Without dispute the dude lacked all wisdom.

Falsehoods about the election...

No bias there. Can’t even start off without lying.

Shaman might have been “Brainwashed”, you say? They must have only needed to use a half bar of soap then.
Dump a cup of water over his head. That should ‘De-Brain-Wash him good.

It’s well established this guy was an established attention whore in the Phoenix area long before the election, not to mention before the events of January 6. He showed up at any and all events without distinction. Even now, odds are he is a willing pawn of the Feds hoping to use him to create their narrative of events. This “brainwashing” ploy would be par for the course.

I’ve seen the pics. The Dumbass Defense is very likely to be effective. Where the hell do these morons come from? Who the hell breeds these idiots? My only hope is, that he’s shooting blanks.

The guy was the most photographed individual at The Capitol on January 6th. To me he seemed like a Hollywood starlit prancing around, surrounded by a cavalcade of photographers taking shots of him all over the building, in all kinds of settings. All of that seemed a bit bizarre to me. I had a hard time believing that he was an actual Trump supporter. I thought he was a wacko then and still do. The fact that he’s now trying to claim someone brainwashed him, tells me the guy is truly a nut case.

He is a paid Deep State Instigator. A professional ‘crisis actor’ if not an actual undercover government agent.

I live here in AZ. He was at several BLM protests as a counter protestor. He got a lot of media attention, but when he was interviewed on camera he came across as intelligent and knowledgeable, albeit more libertarian than anything. I think he really believed the things he was saying, but 6 months of solitary confinement can mess up anybody’s head.

It’s appalling to me that a few dozen protestors are still locked up while BLM and Antifa rioters were let out of jail within hours. I hope he sues their asses off when this is all over!

ABC - hey yo yo’s. There was no “insurrection”, just a demonstration that got hijacked by a bunch of idiots.

ABC - the All Bull Crap network.

Judge for yourself whether he is nuts or not or a Trump supporter or not. Occurred right after January 6th.

"but when he was interviewed on camera he came across as intelligent and knowledgeable,"

Nut cases can come across as smart and knowledgeable, but they're still nut cases. Ted Bundy was a good looking, intelligent, charismatic law student, who managed to use his charm to fool a lot of people, but he was still a serial killer.

He’s an opportunistic tool. Innocent nonetheless.
