'Qanon Shaman' Demands FBI Return Horns He Wore During Riot

[Jilly_in_VA]

The “QAnon Shaman” has done his time and now wants the government to return the horned fur headdress that made him the most recognizable figure of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

“They’re keeping it like it’s evidence,” Jacob Chansley told The Daily Beast. “The case is over, so there’s no reason for them to continue holding onto it.”

He is taking the position that the law is the law, the very same principle that led the government to prosecute him along with more than 1,000 other insurrectionists and has Donald Trump facing four indictments.

“It’s rather upsetting that they’re not doing what the government is supposed to do and returning the property,” said Chansley, who has been convicted of obstructing democracy itself.

1. They absolutely should NOT

[peggysue2]

2. Maybe he thinks this will be a good look on the campaign trail

LOL.

These people are insane. The very government he and his brethren attempted to overturn is now the object of a big pout for not returning the head dress he wore during the assault.

You can't make this stuff up!

3. Are you freaking kidding???

Good lord.

[brush]

4. No problem. You can have them back.

[Ilsa]

5. Sure. He can go find it here:

(Raiders of the Lost Ark)

Hopefully he'll never be seen again.

[hatrack]

6. DO NOT OPEN

[Ilsa]

20. Or close your eyes if you do! nt

7. It is evidence. You committed a crime. You should be rotting in prison for it. Get over yourself.

Fuck Fox News, Sean Hannity, Marjorie Greene and Alex Jones for letting this douche walk free.

11. How did Fox News, Hannity, Greene and Alex Jones let him walk free?

He was arrested January 9 2021, held in jail pending his trial, pleaded guilty in September 2021, was imprisoned until late March 2023, and held at a halfway house until late May 2023.

Did I miss something?

23. My point is that radicalized propaganda is why he went to jail in the first place.

Like if he hadn't listened to them, he wouldn't have gone to jail. Just like if Ashlii Babbitt hadn't listened to them, she would still be alive today. Fascist propaganda is the underlying problem in all of this.

8. I would say OK if he had to wear them every...

time stepped out of the house.

[Turbineguy]

9. They can keep his brain.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. That creep should still be in jail.

[onenote]

12. There are detailed procedures governing the return of evidence.

Assuming his horns are "evidence" (which is unclear), there is a set of detailed procedures and timelines for dealing with personal property once a criminal case is closed.

13. Unfortunely

he has many females who adore his 'manlines' horns, hairy chest, his howl.

His mommy never made him grow up.

[Ilsa]

21. Oh great. Another "failure to launch" type that

will blame is problems on "entitled" POC.

[sakabatou]

14. He'll just use the horns to sell on Ebay or somewhere else.

[Tommy Carcetti]

15. They should burn it...

…and give him the box of ashes.

[A HERETIC I AM]

16. Maybe instead of getting your stupid fucking costume back....

How about you grow up a little, Chansley?

And this clown is actually running for congress.

[Emile]

17. He is lucky to be alive for what he did that day.

Screw the whiny ass trashy traitor.

[MichDem10]

18. The government should sell his horns for restitution.

[TheKentuckian]

19. He and the whole lot should be dead or under a prison

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

22. Last I remember

They don't return biological evidence. So if those horns and furs were real, would they fall under that standard?

Any lawyers here know how that would work?
