"...Albert Watkins, Mr Chansley's attorney, defended his client's behaviour in an interview with the political news website Talking Points Memo.

The lawyer told TPM that the alleged insurrectionists were particularly susceptible to Mr Trump's propaganda, which he compared to efforts employed by Nazi Germany ahead of and during World War II.

"These aren't bad people, they don't have prior criminal history," the lawyer said. "F***, they were subjected to four-plus years of goddamn propaganda the likes of which the world has not seen since f****** Hitler."

Mr Chansley is not Mr Watkins' first controversial client. The Missouri lawyer also represented the St. Louis gun couple who went viral for an infamous photo of the pair pointing guns at social justice protesters.

Mr Watkins has consistently maintained that if not for Mr Trump's speech inciting his supporters on 6 January to overturn the election, his client would not have thought to storm the Capitol.

Mr Watkins said that Mr Chansley has Asperger's syndrome, and argued that other defendants were mentally challenged, which he believes will play a role in how the cases are handled.

"A lot of these defendants - and I'm going to use this colloquial term, perhaps disrespectfully - but they're all f****** short-bus people," Mr Watkins told TPM. "These are people with brain damage, they're f****** retarded, they're on the goddamn spectrum."..."

That is the Shaman's lawyer saying that.

LOL!!!

I have to say I agree with the assertion, but ignorance of the law isn't a valid excuse. Illegal is illegal.

Then why exactly arent all of your BLM and ANTIFA terrorists in jail?

All of those looters/rioters that burned all kinds of buildings to the ground and beat the shit out of police and even killed a few?

I'll answer the obvious....

IT"S BECAUSE YOU ARE A FUCKING HYPOCRITE!

-------------------------
The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED.
-BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is.
-They are both card carrying narcissists.
^These are PROVED facts.

Looters were arrested & charged.

Most or all weren't affiliated or associated with BLM nor Antifa.

White Supremacists and Pro-T'rump assfags were the ones stirring up shit.

Umbrella fag. As a case, in point.

Yep. There isn't a single mention of ANTIFA in any of the arrest records.
