The QAnon Shaman, whose real name is Jacob Anthony Chansley, rose to fame after storming the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021. He was wearing a horned fur hat and carrying a spear adorned with an American flag. He was arrested shortly after and charged with several crimes, including violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. He has been held in detention since then, awaiting trial.
Recently, Tesla CEO Elon Musk made headlines after he tweeted his support for the release of the QAnon Shaman. Musk shared an article from the Gateway Pundit that featured additional video evidence of Chansley's peaceful behavior during the Capitol riot. He called for "justice" and "humanity" in the treatment of Chansley and other Capitol rioters.
“Dave Chapelle was violently assaulted on stage by a guy with a knife. That guy got a $3000 fine & no prison time.”
Despite Musk's call for release, legal experts have pointed out that Chansley's case is still under investigation, and his detention is legally justified. According to federal law, a defendant can be detained if they are deemed a flight risk or a danger to the community. Chansley's involvement in the Capitol riot and his past criminal record makes him a high-flight risk and a potential danger.
The QAnon movement played a significant role in the Capitol riot, with several participants wearing QAnon symbols and carrying QAnon banners. QAnon is a far-right conspiracy theory that alleges a secret cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles is running a global child sex-trafficking ring and plotting against Donald Trump. The movement has been debunked by multiple sources, including the FBI, but continues to have a significant online presence.
