The QAnon Shaman asked to be let out of prison to see his ailing grandfather.
The judge said "
You should have thought of that before the murderous insurrection" and no release was ordered.
I kid, I kid. The judge refused his release on the grounds that he's legally insane.
Man, it's like actions have consequences or some shit.
"Breccia, are you really smugly gloating over someone who lost the last male member of his family and was unable to visit him?"
Maybe a little, but the real issue here is someone who committed a felony wanted to take a vacation from his sentence because he felt like it. Either the QAnon Shaman willingly committed a massive public felony of his own free will, or he did so because he's too crazy to tell truth from fiction. I do care which, but neither is a hall pass to get out of federal prison.
Obviously his lawyer is trying to play this as a sob story. "This gentle, smart, and kind young man" he actually really said about someone who dressed up as a Viking warrior and stormed the nation's legislature during its most important task, an act that involved breaking down barricades and beating multiple police into the hospital.
In an added bit of farce,
the Slender Man Stabber was released today.

Well shit, forgot to hit "refresh" again.
Another murderous insurrectionist is due in court again. He is asking to have his ankle bracelet removed -- this is amazing -- on the grounds that
the loud beeping noise it made was scaring off business clients.

Man, what is with all these Trump supporters and their lack of personal responsibility? "Your Honor, I ask that the sentence against me be lifted on the grounds that I don't want to do it"?
