They are, sadly, all back from detention and in a playground near you soon
The Jan. 6 rioter known as the “QAnon shaman” has made his plans clear in the wake of President Donald Trump’s vast grant of clemency to those convicted in connection with the insurrection: he’s going to buy guns.
Jacob Chansley, who was memorably photographed wearing a fur-lined helmet and carrying a spear in multiple locations inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, announced his upcoming shopping spree on X on Monday evening, shortly after Trump included him in the mass pardon of around 1,500 convicted rioters in the flurry of executive orders he issued in the hours after taking office.
The post reads:
I JUST GOT THE NEWS FROM MY LAWYER …
I GOT A PARDON BABY!
THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!NOW I AM GONNA BUY SOME MOTHA FU*KIN GUNS!!!
I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
J6ers are getting released & JUSTICE HAS COME …
EVERYTHING done in the dark WILL come to light!
As Law&Crime previously reported, Chansley pleaded guilty in September 2021 to obstructing a federal proceeding — a charge that the Supreme Court later deemed as inapplicable to accused Jan. 6 rioters. His defiant post on Monday is a stark departure from what he said during his November 2021 sentencing hearing.
