ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) - Jacob Chansley, the "QAnon Shaman," regrets his involvement in the Capitol Riot that occurred on January 6, he said in a statement his St. Louis-based attorney released Monday.

Chansley is facing charges for his alleged role in the Capitol Riot. In a statement released by attorney Al Watkins, Chansley says he takes responsibility for his actions.

“My time in jail has permitted me to start to reanalyze my life. I am deeply committed to ahimsa, a basic principle of non-violence which applies all living creatures, large and small. There was a lot that happened over time which led up to January 6, 2021. I am working on coming to grips with that.

I am deeply disappointed in former President Trump. He was not honorable. He let a lot of peaceful people down. I have to leave judging him up to other people. It is my aim to focus on what is important at this time. What is important is for me to apologize.

[MacKasey]

1. Buyer's remorse

That he got caught

[SharonAnn]

55. Tell him "Good that you realize it. but actions have consequences."

[BigmanPigman]

2. Now he needs to spread this messge to his Qanon pals.

[magicarpet]

3. Well that's a start. Contrition and remorse are the begining of the healing process.

Efforts and actions to pay for the injury and damages you caused is another step in making amends and restitution.

Sincerity rather than just going through the motions is the key.

[cstanleytech]

6. "Contrition and remorse" I suspect its more like "Fear of going to prison".

[Rebl2]

29. Exactly

If he would say he deserved prison time, then I might believe him.

[Dream Girl]

4. Awwwwwww

[cstanleytech]

5. "My time in jail has permitted me to start to reanalyze my life." Is that bullshit that I smell?

[Tommymac]

23. He's in a 'holding' cell. Wait until he goes to the REAL Prison.

Bubba likes horns.

[El Supremo]

7. Anderson Cooper said that he will quit calling him a Shaman.

Out of respect for real Shamans.

[Judi Lynn]

24. Wonderful! That makes the day for some of us. Thanks! ⭐️

[calimary]

45. Good. This jerk is about as much of a "shaman" as the lumps lurking in my cats' litter box are.

He's more sham than shaman.

[JenniferJuniper]

8. Plus, I ate a lot of Twinkies that morning

[SunSeeker]

32. But they would have to be organic Twinkies.

[JenniferJuniper]

40. Touche

[niyad]

9. I call BS. If this fake shaman were indeed c,omitted to ahimsa, he would not have been there in

the first place.

[Squinch]

10. Lock him up. Actions have consequences.

[Downtown Hound]

11. Accept your punishment and do your time without complaint

And then we'll see if you're really sincere.

Until then, empty talk.

[Talitha]

12. "deeply committed to ahimsa"

Oh, gimme a break - what a bunch of bullshit!

He could have grabbed a bullhorn and attempted to stop the riot.

Instead, he stood on the upper level of the Chamber bellowing like a Cow.

Damned hypocrite....

[SunSeeker]

33. Yes, storming in and bellowing like a cow contradicts his ahisma bullshit. nt

[dhill926]

13. nice try, dude....

[Gore1FL]

14. He will have more time in jail to analyze more deeply.

I hope he can be and is rehabilitated.

[COL Mustard]

15. Well....DUH.....

I'm sure he does regret it. What a loser. Lock his sorry, losing ass up.

[Kid Berwyn]

16. Got off the organic diet and started hearing things.

The lawyer his mom got’s voice, for one.

[PatSeg]

17. Well, guess he's not quite as stupid as he looks

"He let a lot of peaceful people down"??? Where were those people?

[mzmolly]

18. He was wearing fur

and horns? His coup garb appears to contradict his reported value system.

[Hulk]

19. Fuck him....and every thought this idiot has.

I really don't give a damn what this stooge has to say, what he thinks, what he feels.......BULL SHIT! If I want to stand behind a mule and have it fart in my face, it would be more acceptable to me than hearing about this complete dumb ass.

I am so damned tired of hearing from the dumbest Americans we can scrounge up. Fuck this idiot. Fuck all of them that were helping to overthrow our government. Wish I was locked and loaded with my M-16 at the capitol on January 6th, instead of shooting at Vietnamese who were trying to save their country from imperialists. I'd gladly take down the whole front line of these treasonous insurrectionists instead of the guilt I have for shooting at Vietnamese who only wanted US GONE from their homeland.

[dianaredwing]

34. Those were the days

Not meant in a good way. I thought we were divided then. Could not even have imagined ANYONE attacking the Capitol. We marched peacefully. A few may have stepped over the line and I feel remorse for them, but by and large (except for Kent State) people were not harmed by fellow Americans on American soil.

We are just beginning to learn the lessons of Vietnam and it will be fifty more years before we learn the lessons of January 6. We can only hope that our better natures prevail, even if we don't understand how.

Peace, my friend.

[BHDem53]

20. Liar!

You'd do it tomorrow if your chosen one beckoned. tRump has never been honorable.

[keithbvadu2]

21. Blah, blah, blah..... I got caught.

Blah, blah, blah..... I got caught.

[bucolic_frolic]

22. Fair weather friend

Not a true beleiver, just seeking attention.

[Solly Mack]

25. Oh, please. Say whatever it takes to get a better deal.

I don't believe he has changed his thinking.

[BobTheSubgenius]

26. Not honourable? I hope he's kidding, and doesn't go around repeating this.

People might start to lose faith in the man.

[dalton99a]

27. "Please let me out. I will rededicate my life to better conspiracy theories"

He needs to be in prison

[Mabel]

28. No matter what he says he's not going to get out of this...

The big dummy in his costume is now the poster child for the insurrection.

[George II]

30. We've got the videos, Shaman!

[riversedge]

31. Trump threw all of the rioters under the bus and left town. If any of them stick with him now,

they complete fools.

[Blue Owl]

35. Organic milkbreath folds like a cheap card table

[EndlessWire]

36. Honor?

Five people died. Trump went to Mar a Lago.

This is like when celebrities mess up, and they make themselves scarce in some rehab facility. So they can point out to the Judge that they have already started the rehab. Looks good for sentencing.

I'm willing to say that there are probably thousands of rioters who had no idea that they were committing insurrection. They thought it was a festival like Woodstock.

But the leaders have got to be held accountable. I think that a core of them were operating separately from their cover.

And, what was the name of the leader who took the WH tour the day before? Which one was he?

[Schmice3]

37. Hahahahahahahahaha

So he hasn't yet come to grips with his betrayal of non-violence. He will not allow himself to judge Trump; but he'll let others do it. If this isn't important at this time, what is? Stupid and entitled. This isn't Dungeons and Dragons.

[Orange Buffoon]

38. "I was wrong. Period."

Words Trump has never said--nor ever will.

[Jedi Guy]

39. Groovy, glad he's starting to come around.

Now he still needs to serve whatever prison time is appropriate to his crime(s). While he's in, I hope he uses the time to better himself, and also uses whatever platform he may have to try to bring other Q-believers back to reality. Once he's out, whenever that is, I hope he carries on trying to undo the damage he and his fellow travelers did to our country.

Saying "gosh, I'm really sorry" isn't going to keep you out of jail, bub. You done fucked up.

[orleans]

41. i'm not prepared to give this fucker an ounce of credit. screw him

"he let a lot of peaceful people down"

really? i know he jacked a lot of assholes up

[C Moon]

42. Regretful because they were caught. It's always the same sob story when they get caught.

[calimary]

43. MAN, are YOU late to the party, dude.

You're LATE. WAY late. And I'm not convinced.

You still need to make restitution. You still need to pay for what you did and what you contributed to. As Jamie Raskin put it so plaintively this afternoon: "people died that day."

You were DETERMINED to stick out and attract attention to yourself. You WANTED the spotlight, and welcomed it when you got it. You were everybody's media go-to, you made for good visuals (and I think you knew exactly what you were doing to achieve that). A veritable "sweetheart of the insurrection rodeo." This was INTENTIONAL. And you don't get out of it that easy.

You've gotta do WAY more than merely say you're sorry, dude.

[Nitram]

44. Fuck QAnon shaman.

[calimary]

47. QAnon sham.

Or, QAnon shame works as well!

QAnon Shame, man!

Born to be a laughingstock, dude! What a way to be remembered...

[Initech]

46. Um... we've literally been telling you this for the last four years!

So yeah throw your life away because you support the worst president ever. Don't say we didn't warn you next time.

[mdbl]

48. this proves we should all be eating organic

[TomVilmer]

49. This dress is what he was aiming at

A sioux brave in buffalo horned headdress



- though he made it look like a clown at a small childs birthday.

[NurseJackie]

50. He needs time in prison to think about the consequences of his actions.

[Javaman]

51. he's still a fucking moron and deserves his prison time. fuck his stupid ass remorse.

why is he now so remorseful? because he's not trolling the stupid ass qanon board 24/7 and watchin fux news.

that's why. fuck him and his easily led personality.

[Sugar Smack]

52. Jacob Chansley is a narcissistic phony.

One who wandered past street theater and into his worst and stupidest impulses.

[Vivienne235729]

53. Peaceful people? Wake the eff up. People died in that insurrection.

That insurrection was anything but peaceful.

[Hekate]

54. Dear Shaman: Did you read about the cop who lost an eye? From it being gouged out?

And maybe will lose the other one? People who gouge out other people’s eyes are probably not the kind of folks you should be hanging out with if you are on the path of peace.
