Jacob Chansley, the ‘Flagbearer’ and ‘Very Image’ of Jan. 6 Siege, Sentenced to More Than Three Years in Prison
Law and Crime ^ | 11/17/21

The man who stood behind former Vice President Mike Pence’s Senate dais in a horned, coyote-fur headdress, red, white and blue face paint and a shirtless display of his tattooed torso on Jan. 6 will spend the next 41 months in a federal prison.

“He made himself the very image of the riot,” Senior U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth said in pronouncing the sentence.

“What you did was terrible,” Lamberth added later, imposing the lower end of the federal guidelines. “You made yourself the epitome of the riot.”

So he is convicted based on how he made them feel due to his appearance rather than any crime he may have actually committed.

He wasn't convicted. He pled guilty to one charge.

If you are fine with this then why infect FR with your worthless opinions! Do us a favor Mr. Quisling and go away.

Royce is a sick bastard who would have been strung up in the wild west. Those who are cruel to the kind are kind to the cruel. True every time.

Someone posted an image of this guy here on FR at an Antifa “protest” in Phoenix last year.

I still think he’s one of the Antifa infiltrators.

My sentiments EXACTLY! Did this asshole judge try any cases of the real rioters throughout 2020? I’ll bet nobody got three years for trespass. As for the trespass, I’d like to see the proof of that, because I saw the cops ushering people INTO the Capitol.

You appear to be unaware of a certain long-standing double standard.

I rather think that Ashley Babbitt was the true face of the “riot”. This poor fool was the only armed member of the “insurrection”. He had a toy spear.

AntiFa probably know the guy pretty well. Dollars to donuts they concluded early on that they couldn’t use him for any of their normal nefarious purposes, or let him in on any of their actual attack plans, because he is not inherently or basically dangerous, nor is he, at heart, anti-American or anti-Western culture in any cognizable way.

It still doesn’t matter if our desire is that we live up to being a nation of laws. We too good French fall short.

. There seems to be a desire to make him a hero and martyr. He’s neither.

It’s the charge he pled guilty to and the sentence associated with the crime.

Is Judge lambert going to arrest trick-or-treaters for wearing scary outfits and pressuring people to give them candy? Is trick-or-treat a threat of violence?

Whew! Thank the Lord for Lambert. Now, we are all safe./s

This sucks. I hoped most of these witch hunt allegations wouldn’t stick ,boy was I wrong.

I regret not going to the Capital on Jan 6 and protesting the stolen election. After the election steal, I was so upset I ignored politics and the news completely for months. If i knew about the protest on Jan 6 I would have been there, because every voice counts against those corrupt democrats.

Many Capital protestors are rotting in prison, being treated terribly by guards. Marjorie is investigating along with others but we need more support. I don’t doubt the Deep State gave this guy a corrupt lawyer whose job was to lose the case for his deep state masters.
