‘QAnon Shaman’ will likely serve over 3 years for Capitol riot role: report
The “QAnon Shaman” — known for storming the US Capitol in a horned coyote-fur headdress and American-flag paint — pleaded guilty to an obstruction charge in federal court Friday and will serve at least 3 1/2 years in prison, according to a report.
Jacob Chansley, 34, of Phoenix, copped to a count of obstruction of an official proceeding, one of six charges he faced for his role in the US Capitol riot on Jan.6, according to CBS News.
Under federal guidelines, he’s expected to be sentenced to 3 1/2 to a little over four years behind bars minus the eight months of time he’s already served, the outlet reported. He has also agreed to pay $2,000 in restitution.
Chansley — who became the face of the riot after wild photos of him clutching a spear as he breached the Senate Chamber were widely circulated — was initially hit with charges including civil disorder, violent entry and disorderly conduct. Previously, he faced up to 28 years behind bars.

Exactly correct.
Totally worth it. He made it into a South Park episode.
Sounds a little severe, but the guy’s an idiot.
That kind of publicity I can live without. Funny though.
We did this interview in the few days between January 6, and his arrest.

He’s never going to have to pay for a beer again…
And, he is not even political.
He is some kind of professional protester. He protested everything and everybody. BLM, global warming, any kind of leftist protest...
Basically he just loves to show up and make news.
So far, it was a fun, he was never even been arrested, I believe. But now, he happened to show up in DC for Trump, and voila, hard time coming for him!
He will love Big Brother when he is done with his 3 years.
I wonder how long antiFA rioters will have to spend in jail...
LOL!
Isn’t this dude essentially some large man-child and throwing professional tantrums is his day job?
What has happened to these protesters is awful, but predictable. Anyone that didn’t destroy or steal should be out back to getting on with life by now. I imagine this will empower the soviet state more, heck they’re now arresting people that stayed outside. From now on if going to a protest, don’t bring a phone, don’t park within a couple miles of protest area, hat, and glasses. And for the love of God, don’t say anything on Facebook, those morons...
Is there video of the “storming”?
BLM kills people by burning them alive in buildings.
Antifa beats people to death and attacks confused old people.
Both groups destroy historical monuments, government property, and try to burn federal workers and police.
To them, the brown shirts of the democrats, nothing happens. Because the NAZI cause is seen as just by Democratic. They are a protected class.
This guy was a professional protester, a left wing nut that somehow liked Trump. He had no right going into the capital building, but he was unarmed and obviously had no plan. Yet, he gets a bigger sentence than all the BLM and ANTIFA people who killed the guy in Minn, Minnesota.
This nation lacks justice, and no Republic can survive a two tiered justice system based upon politics for long.
At least he wasn’t murdered.
I didn't hear about this.
Do you have a link?
essentially he is a political prisoner.
That’s the lesson they are trying to teach. Most of us have comfortable lives. We don’t want to lose our jobs, homes, and freedom by resisting.
Every socialist regime works the same way. Keep your head down, don’t get involved with politics, don’t criticize the regime and you will be fine.
The next few years will be an active program to cull from the herd anyone who will not accept those rules.
Government sends a message to the people: Don’t you *ever* come into our space and protest. We will crush you!
(How’s your right to overturn a tyrannical Government working out for you?)
