asked for his release

A lawyer for Jacob Chansley, the man known as the "QAnon Shaman" who is accused of storming the US Capitol on January 6, said in court Friday that his client's mental health is rapidly declining in jail.

Attorney Albert Watkins told a federal court judge in Washington, DC, that the isolation Chansley is being held in would be problematic for even a healthy individual and said that his client "requires healthcare now."

Chansely's time in jail "has taken its toll," Watkins said. During a previous court hearing, Chansley's mother said her son was not eating in jail because they weren't serving him organic food.

Watkins asked for a mental health evaluation to determine Chansley's competence, and said he will file a motion for pretrial release.

1. You know the old saying - don't do the crime if you can't do the time!

[OriginalGeek]

33. Keep your eye on the sparrow...

[Lovie777]

2. It started with him joining Qanon ...

[sop]

3. How can they tell his mental health is declining?

[Autumn]

4. I think everybody's mental health decilnes in jail. He had problems before so...fuck him.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

5. It's probably a worse sign for someone if their mental health does NOT decline in jail (nt)

[BigmanPigman]

6. Is this the same attorney who said that his client's poor mental state was

due to tRump's constant BS. He blamed the fucking moron's propaganda for turning his client (the Shaman?) into a cult member.

[Scrivener7]

7. What is it republiQans always say? Oh, yes: "Jail isn't supposed to be fun."

[pandr32]

8. How could he know?

His mental health was already iffy.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

9. I imagine reality smacking someone so hard in the face would be hard on anyone's mental state.

No wearing body paint, no cheers from other trumpanzees, no dressing up like you are attending a Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes meeting...

Reality sucks sometimes.

[Rustyeye77]

10. I love the Qanon Shamen.

he'll get 15 to 20 years.

" B...B...But I have foxitis, your honor "

[samnsara]

11. keep him locked up

[Paladin]

12. Tough shit, "Shaman." (nt)

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. This is serious. He's approaching Ron Johnson territory.

Which means that he's going to be approached about running for Congress.

[LiberatedUSA]

14. Yeah, being in a cell will do that to you.

[backscatter712]

15. Declining? His mental state was never above water to begin with.

[stillcool]

16. why is he in isolation?

that's not right. So many of the people involved in the attempted coup were detached from reality from the get-go. Then again, most people in prison have emotional/mental issues of some sort.

[greenjar_01]

34. Probably in protective custody, which is essentially isolation in a lot of pre-trial

facilities.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

17. So he can't do prison, but he can sit in a chair for hours for his massive tattoos ?

Those two don't jive.

[struggle4progress]

18. "Since 6 January, many people have wondered if he is barking mad"

[lpbk2713]

19. Did anyone tell him it was supposed to do him some good?

Deal with it you domestic terrorist.

[FakeNoose]

20. Get real - he's talking about THIS guy!

He was already around the bend before January 6th.

[Rustyeye77]

21. Those tattoos will go over big in prison.

Anyone know what they represent ?

I like the nipple one.

[FakeNoose]

22. I don't think they'll recognize him in prison though

... he really needs the hat, and he won't be allowed to keep that.

[Rustyeye77]

23. I like the guy next to him...

With the MAGA beard. Real good look.

[Buns_of_Fire]

28. The one with the "are you my mommy?" look?

He's the trusty sidekick, chosen because of his towering intellect and steady job.

A job that he got fired from because Einstein wore his employee I.D. tag in plain view of God 'n' everyone.

Oops.

[Rustyeye77]

29. Funny .

Trusty sidekick....to Qanon shame.....BWAHAHA

[onethatcares]

38. but he was there for the

"Augeration" if I read the lettering correctly.

I really think he was singing, "Did you ever know that you're my hero"?

[greenjar_01]

35. Several of his former co-workers confirmed that he was developmentally disabled

Probably not a good look to hook off on the guy. (Talking about the guy next to Chansley in that image).

[Rustyeye77]

39. Do you know the sidekicks name?

He doesnt look like a brightest bub.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

25. The one on his lower left is the "hammer of Thor'

Quite common symbol among white supremists.

[Rustyeye77]

26. Thank you.

Weird shit.

[peggysue2]

24. So, Chansley is going for the insanity defense?

Amazing what being held accountable does to people and their stories of wrong-doing.

(sigh)

[11 Bravo]

27. Oh Hell yeah! He was the very embodiment of rational stability before ...

they tossed his ass into the slammer!

[bif]

30. Cry me a frikken river, pal.

Like I give a shit.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

31. What are they using as a benchmark?

[Vinca]

32. I don't care if he eats the food. Starve to death for all I care. If he and his nut attorney

had 6 brain cells to rub together he'd take a plea deal that includes time served in the sentence. If you're going to do the crime you've got to do the time.

[H2O Man]

36. Oh, deer!

And he appeared so stable.

[IsItJustMe]

37. He could blame that on Ronald Reagan when Reagan single handedly dismantled mental health in the US
