A judge denied the 'Q Shaman's' bid to get out of jail for the third time

A federal judge on Tuesday denied the latest attempt to spring the self-styled "Q Shaman" from a Colorado jail ahead of his trial.

Jacob Chansley, who gained notoriety by wearing a headdress with fur and horns during the January 6 Capitol siege, faces six charges stemming from the insurrection.

His attorney argued on June 30 that Chansley should be released due to new evidence showing that the "spear" he brought to the Capitol was actually just a flagpole with a "finial" zip-tied to the top, and that it posed no danger to anyone.

The attorney, Al Watkins, also argued that Chansley could be released to his mother's home in Arizona, or else to a "secure location" in St. Louis where Watkins could keep track of him.

He will be a hero-martyr to the right wing nut jobs and he will eventually be rich beyond his weirdo wildest dreams. Shit...sign me up for 3-squares, government-provided housing and an eventual windfall after a slap on the wrist sentence of time already served in the end is handed down.

We live in a world where fame and notoriety are all that matters and from them flow the rewards necessary for a life of creature comfort and moral depravity. One day, this fool, with his clownish statements and appearance will be handed more money in appearance fees than the median income in this country gets for 2080 hours of actual work.

THAT is why the USA is a dumpster fire today.

...until he's too old and/or infirm to write a book, engage in a speaking tour, or in any other way profit from his idiotic stunt.
