Federal judge rules 'QAnon shaman' too dangerous to be released from jail
Source: The Hill
Jacob Chansley, the self-proclaimed "QAnon Shaman" who participated in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, will not be released from jail ahead of his trial, a federal judge determined on Monday.
In court documents cited by CNN, Judge Royce Lamberth argued that Chansley's statements holding former President Trump accountable for his alleged illegal entry into the Capitol building showed that Chansley was unremorseful about his actions.
"The court finds that no condition or combination of conditions of release will reasonably assure defendant's appearance as required [in court] or the safety of others and the community," Lamberth ruled.
"Defendant characterizes himself as a peaceful person who was welcomed into the Capitol building on January 6th by police officers. The Court finds none of his many attempts to manipulate the evidence and minimize the seriousness of his actions persuasive," the judge continued.

"One of the first aspects of Rastafari that come to mind when people hear of Rastafari is their use of marijuana. ... Before smoking the plant the Rasta will say a prayer to Jah (God) or to Haile Selassie."

(12,209 posts)When I was teaching high school in N.J., I had an executive of the N.J. prison system visit my sociology class. He told the story of an inmate who put a Sunflower seed in a plastic pot in his cell. He then began holding meditation classes to honor the Sunflower. Other prisoners joined him.
Staff put a stop to that and the prisoners sued, based on the religion of the Sunflower and its manifestation of God's power.
The prisoners won and staff had to provide for the Sunflower worship.
