SecondSupporters of the President-elect of the United States stormed the Capitol Donald Trump Last January, his photos spread all over the world: a “shaman” from Arizona wearing a fur and horn headdress became one of the faces of the Washington Congress attack.
Ten months later, Jacob Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in prison in the US capital on Wednesday, as the broadcaster CNN and other US media reported unanimously. The Department of Justice demanded a 51-month prison sentence for Chanceley’s prominent role in the attack on the Capitol.
Chansley was arrested a few days after the dramatic incident on January 6. He has been detained ever since. After the attack, Chanceley boasted about this behavior. “In fact, a group of our traitors set up barricades in the office, put on gas masks and withdrew to the underground bunker. I think this is a victory,” he told NBC News at the time.
“Shaman” admits wrong
“What you did is terrible,” Judge Royce Lambeth said to the defendant on Wednesday. Chansley was very regretful. The 34-year-old said: “A man will honorably admit when he makes a mistake.” “It was a mistake to break into the Capitol. There is no excuse.”
In a lengthy speech, Chancery talked about the mental health problems he suffered and mentioned Jesus, Mahatma Gandhi and Buddha. He said: “I am not a rebel. Of course I am not a domestic terrorist.”
According to the U.S. Judiciary, Chanceley was one of the top 30 attackers who stormed into the parliament building on January 6. He went deep into the Senate chamber and even sat at the desk where the then Vice President Mike Pence had previously served as the Speaker of the Senate.
According to the indictment, Chanceley called the vice president a “damn traitor” and wrote on a note: “It’s just a matter of time. Justice will come!” The certification of Deng’s victory in the presidential election on November 3, 2020 has aroused the anger of many Trump supporters. Some Capitol attackers even shouted “Hang Mike Pence.”
Before being arrested, Chansley reported himself to the Federal Police and stated that he was from Arizona because Trump called all “patriots” to Washington. Shortly before the attack on the Capitol, Trump incited his supporters at a rally.At that time he wanted to prevent Congress from winning the opponent Joe Biden It was officially confirmed in the presidential election. To this day, Trump has not admitted his loss to Biden.
