Federal prosecutors argued this week that Jacob Chansley, also known as the "QAnon Shaman," should not be released from jail before standing trial over his involvement in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
Prosecutors told a judge in the case that Chansley is a danger to the community, citing a note he allegedly wrote targeting then-Vice President Pence, him allegedly wielding a weapon while he engaged officers inside the Capitol, and his comments on getting rid of traitors in government, The Associated Press reported.
"He cannot be trusted now to suddenly change course," prosecutors wrote in a court filing, the AP reported.
Prosecutors argued that a spear attached to a flagpole Chansley carried into the Capitol with him on Jan. 6 was a weapon, though his lawyer disagreed, maintaining that the spear was an ornament. Chansley's attorney Albert Watkins also argued that the note that his client wrote was not intended to be threatening.

(82,849 posts)I know it's tough to see under the body paint, but he's White, not the color of a common criminal (if you know what I mean). Storm the Capitol, threaten law enforcement with a handy weapon or two, and brag about it on social media, and the next thing you know, people are just coming unglued over poor Jacob's demonstrative antics, which are all protected by the First Amendment.
He was duped, I tells ya! He's all reformed and would like to go back to his former life now, thankyouverymuch.
