Interview with "QAnon Shaman" Jacob Chansley's attorney, Albert Watkins
| “A lot of these defendants — and I'm going to use this colloquial term,
perhaps disrespectfully — but they're all fucking short-bus people,”
Watkins told TPM. “These are people with brain damage, they're fucking
retarded, they're on the goddamn spectrum.”
| “But they're our brothers, our sisters, our neighbors, our coworkers — they're part of our country. These aren’t bad people, they don’t have prior criminal history, Fuck, they were subjected to four-plus years of goddamn propaganda the likes of which the world has not seen since fucking Hitler.”

| Emotional apeal, poor mental condition excuse and comparison to hitler. PR 101 in 2021.
| These types of things happen so much, it's pointless to bother making it a talkin point.

Come the fuck on. He tells it like it is.
If you bothered to read up on the subject before opening your reactionist mouth you'd know all of those points are Jacob Chansley's *own words.* He's literally using his poor mental condition as an excuse for his crimes as a defense in court.
But of course you didn't even bother to learn that much before you tried to censor the topic. Predictable!

If they're so common then it's a good thing to talk about it, dontcha think?
You can stay in your bubble all want but the rest of the world will always talk about current events.
>These types of things happen so much
The insurrection attempt against the US government only happened once and it was a *big deal*.
Point in case, you're one of these short-bus, brain damaged, fucking retarded spectrum people that his attorney are talking about.
| >>760544 what a reply, name calling, baseless assumptions of chacters and a feeble attempt of discrediting at the end.
>>760546 followed by a more assumptions of behaviour and some sort of call out that has zero basis because 1 reply of useless ad hominen was not enough to satisfy your ego.
| You shouldnt take those comments with so much hate hate, you act like someone took a dump on your carped, get some rest, not every disagreement is an attack on your person, if somebody calling a lawyer overlly emotional is enough to get you this made than it exaplains why you think jan 6th was inssurection, many countries had so much worse but americans dont even know what a dictatorship is, bunch of spoiled kids who panic cuz a guy said mean stuff online and became president
| >>760544
I sincerely hope that "Twitter made me do it." and "foxitis" are not ruled a valid defense for this shit. Self-proclaimed short bus people dont get a pass to be violent dipshits.
| >>760754
They also should not be subjected to propaganda by their government. The gullible need to be protected not exploited. Not a pass but diminished responsibility is a thing.
You reap what you sow with poor education and little access to mental health programs. I still don't like them though.

| He's not wrong, but "I'm a gullible moron" doesn't absolve you of all criminal liability
| >>760756
I was subject to the same propaganda and I didn't try to overthrow the capital on January 6th.
| >>760768
Were you though? If you aren't in that bubble already, then the amount of propaganda you're subjected to is a lot more limited. It's recruiting for a cult. That is not an excuse for the shit those in the cult did, but if you're not in there, you have no idea how complete the brainwashing goes, how different the world those people live in is.
| It's nice to see how civil a political discussion can be on dangeru now that "those two" got BTFOd.

| Watkins, the “Q Shaman” Jacob Chansley’s attorney, said his client had Asperger’s syndrome and indicated that Chansley's mental state — and the impact of Trump’s “propaganda” efforts — would play a role in his case.
