For QAnon shaman who attacked the US Congress asked for a sentence of over 3 years

A sentence of over three years in prison was sought for Jacob Chansley, who became famous all over the world as the “QAnon shaman” who participated, shirtless, with a make-up face and a Viking headdress, in the assault on Congress on the 6th. last January by Donald Trump supporters. It was precisely the fame gained by Chansley, who, before joining the conspiracy sect, attempted an acting career under the pseudonym Jake Angeli, that prompted the prosecutors to ask for an exemplary sentence. “The accused’s now famous criminal actions have made him the public face of the uprising on Capitol Hill – reads the request filed last night – the accused was among the first 30 rioters who entered Congress, patrolling the corridors , inciting other rioters by shouting obscenities at MPs and senators and talking about “opportunity” to get rid of the government of those considered traitors. “Chansley, who is not accused of assaulting public officials or destroying government property, is the third participant in the revolt which arrives at the conclusion of the process. The request for 51 months of detention is much heavier than that of 18 months made for Paul Hodginks, the only one sentenced to date to a sentence that the judge eventually set eight months.

And during the assault he repeatedly refused to respond to police requests to withdraw. “In the following days he showed no repentance – the prosecutors wrote again – bragging to the media about the actions of the rioters who that day forced the deputies to take refuge in the bunkers that the gas masks”.
