QAnon Shaman Makes Terrifying Promise After Being Pardoned By Trump

Jacob Chansley, the man known as the “QAnon Shaman” who stormed the Capitol in a horned helmet and furs, was among the many Capitol Rioters that was pardoned by Donald Trump this week. To celebrate his newfound clemency, Chansley took to social media to announce his terrifying plans once he walks out of prison, and they are plans that should immediately get him put on a watch list.

Jacob Chanley, who you probably know as the so-called Q Anon shaman, the guy that stormed the capitol with other rioters wearing the horned helmet and the fur and the face paint, like he was doing something amazing. And then of course, promptly got arrested and we all got to see what he looked like without all his war paint and horns. And he looked like just a big old doofus. Well, this big old doofus, like so many other capitol rioters, was pardoned this week by Donald Trump. And even though Chance Lee had already been released, he had served his time 27 months, he spent some time in a halfway house and he was released this past May. He is still ecstatic about having himself pardoned by Donald Trump. Here is what chance Lee put on social media following the news that he got from his lawyer about being pardoned. And what I'm about to read to you should absolutely scare the crap out of you.

I just got the news from my lawyer. I got a pardon, baby. Thank you, president Trump. Now I'm gonna buy me some guns. I love this country. God bless America. January. Sixers are getting released and justice has come. Everything done in the dark will come to light. Let me back that up for you in case you didn't get it. Now, I'm gonna buy some guns be because that's America, that's what we do. Once you get outta jail, you just, I'm gonna go buy me some effing guns, right? This is insanity. And that post alone should be enough to get Mr. Chance Lee on some kind of watch list, right? I mean, ask yourself this question. Is that the kind of person that you think should be walking around armed here in the United States? Would you feel safe if you walked into any establishment anywhere and you saw this guy there and he had a gun on him, would you feel safe?

The answer for any rationally thinking person is obviously no. Given his record, given his history, pardon or not, doesn't change what he did. And apparently the fact that he's completely not remorseful for it. In an interview recently, Mr. Chanley said, I regret nothing. I'm a better man because of what I went through. So he doesn't care. He regrets nothing, he says, and now he's off to buy him some mother effing guns because you know, what's the worst that could happen, right? I, I really hate to just kind of seem like Debbie Downer today, but nothing matters anymore. My

God. I feel like every issue that I talk about these days, I'm, I'm, I'm just barking in the dark. I, I'm talking about things that should be issues, should be problems, should be massive warning signs flashing at us repeatedly, and nothing seems to matter. This is just our lives now. We have to let people who could potentially be dangerous go buy their guns, and there's nothing that any of us can do to stop that.
