QAnon Shaman Lawyer: They're Brain Damaged Idiots from the Short Bus

The defense lawyer for the QAnon Shaman tells the truth about 45's followers.

Watkins, the “Q Shaman” Jacob Chansley’s attorney, said his client had Asperger’s syndrome and indicated that Chansley’s mental state — and the impact of Trump’s “propaganda” efforts — would play a role in his case.

“A lot of these defendants — and I’m going to use this colloquial term, perhaps disrespectfully — but they’re all fucking short-bus people,” Watkins told TPM. “These are people with brain damage, they’re fucking retarded, they’re on the goddamn spectrum.”

“But they’re our brothers, our sisters, our neighbors, our coworkers — they’re part of our country. These aren’t bad people, they don’t have prior criminal history. Fuck, they were subjected to four-plus years of goddamn propaganda the likes of which the world has not seen since fucking Hitler.”

There were rumors they were targeting viewers on the autism spectrum in Trumpito's Youtube ads.

by Anonymousreply 4May 18, 2021 6:18 PM

They get into Trumpism and Right wing activities because they vaguely know that they are retarded usually having barely got out of HS. Of this they are ashamed, and feel the cards were stacked against them because of some social factor rather than their inability to compete. Their Right wing alternative universe makes them “feel” smart because it provides them a simplistic worldview, and a “community” founded on beliefs instead of facts.

Are any of the charges against him a lack of bulge? How's he hooking up in jail?

Being a mouth breathing idiot with the IQ of seaweed has never been an excuse to break the law before. Why would it be now? It is simple, they knew what they were doing was against the law. Guilty. We were tortured with the exact same propaganda, and we didn't try to hurt anyone or storm the WH to with a whaling spear to kill the fat, orange threat to our sanity and democracy.

A brief reminder that Trumpito was running campaign ads on Youtube targeted to people on the spectrum.

I think we saw more than a few of their intended targets marching around in paramilitary larp drag on 1/6.

As had been noted, "My client is rock stupid and believed a lot of claptrap" has not been a successful defense before.

What's the action situation like for him in jail? Is he getting any or is he a pariah after his seditionist, COVID getting ways.

They’re also violent, dangerous, and have shown a propensity to repeat their offenses. If not in prison, they belong in an institution.

No sympathy!

Albert Watkins is right about Trump followers, QAnon, and about the propaganda.

Completely agreed; while his quote was funny, the government has executed people classified as mentally disabled, yet this tool thinks being a dumbass is an excuse.

Idk that he's wrong that at least some are autistic. A lot of them seem take everything literal -- no matter which side they landed on. I think that's why the left is seeing more outliers. And no, I'm not saying "both sides" because one side (guess which) is definitely the bigger threat here. That's the side with more guns, religious fever, and nuttier leaders. Our side is usually just more annoying about some things than anything else.

A lawyer actually said all those disgusting things? I have no doubt a lot of these guys have issues, but not every one of them did. The majority were racist, self-centred assholes.

by Anonymousreply 33May 19, 2021 12:29 AM

I see you're not American, R32, so I'll explain it to you: Affluenza was a defense used by an entitled, white asshole to get away with drunk-driving which led to the deaths of several people. It's also essentially what kept Brock Turner out of prison. So when you attempt to apply it to people who've never actually benefited from it, it shows what your intent actually is.

That's his own lawyer eh? Fucking hell. Good on the lawyer. What a legend for saying what everyone is thinking.

Interesting that he said "Fuck, they were subjected to four-plus years of goddam propaganda the likes of which the world has not seen since fucking Hitler..." True.

I'm totally over the mental illness excuse. Enough. 99% of people with mental illnesses manage to control themselves and NOT commit insurrection and murder people. All the insurrectionists should be locked up for our safety. And just look at how Dump has abandoned them.
