Insurrectionists To Use Mis-information as a Defense.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Falsehoods about the election helped bring insurrectionists to the Capitol on Jan. 6, and now some who are facing criminal charges for their actions during the riot hope their gullibility might save them or at least engender some sympathy.

The article continues:

Albert Watkins, the St. Louis attorney representing Jacob Chansley, the so-called QAnon shaman, likened the process to brainwashing, or falling into the clutches of a cult. Repeated exposure to falsehood and incendiary rhetoric, Watkins said, ultimately overwhelmed his client’s ability to discern reality.

“He is not crazy,” Watkins said. “The people who fell in love with (cult leader) Jim Jones and went down to Guyana, they had husbands and wives and lives. And then they drank the Kool-Aid.”

Similar legal arguments failed to exonerate Lee Boyd Malvo, who at age 17 joined John Allen Mohammed in a sniper spree that killed 10 people in the Washington, D.C., area in 2002. His lawyers tried to argue that Malvo wasn’t responsible for his actions because he had been deluded by the older Mohammed.

It is good to see that the "shaman" is willing to distance himself from the beliefs he (and many here) harbor/harbored. Perhaps there is hope for the Trump supporters afterall.

Another ridiculous, denial thread. Ho hum. Gag.

 

[Damaged Eagle]

I've neither seen or heard of any insurrectionists at the Capitol on the 6th of January 2021.

Did the president forget to proclaim an insurrection because he needed a nap?

When the president proclaims an insurrection happened and starts announcing publicly who the insurrectionists are there may be cause to call something an insurrection until then it was just a somewhat peaceful protest.

Falsehoods about the election helped bring insurrectionists

Which of the rioters were charged with"insurrection", Corny? Or are you just stuck on full stupid and can't help lying even in the face of all the facts?

“Insurrectionists” IS misinformation.

I do not mind them using misinformation as a defense, though it is no personal defense to say you fell for misinformation. Sounds akin to ignorance in no excuse for the law. Doubt pleading stupid will help.
I don't mind them blaming trump for revving them up and sending them, if that is what they think he did. Still, it is just another way of pleading stupid when charged with criminal offenses when they participated in treasonous attack on the government of our country, in trying to stop the official electoral votes from being counted, ie, trying to overthrow the election by mob force.
Face it. Donny may have revved them up and talked about marching down with them, but just like draft time for the military, he sat that part out, watching happily on TV instead of leading the frey, not even calling it off or green-lighting the military to protect the capital building structure and those inside. Therefore, it took hours before the guard was authorized to send reinforcement and too late for them to do any good.
Bottom line is those that took part in the insurrection against our government thought they were man enough to do it. Now they ought to be man enough to say, "Yes, I did it, guilty as charged", instead of trying to pass off their personal responsibility for their personal acts against The United States of America. Like all cowards, only brave enough to act, when there are others with them, now it is coming time to answer for what they personally did individually. Sentencing should be harsh to discourage the foolish from attempting to attack their country again and to discourage others from such foolish, destructive, unpatriotic acts against our country.

The misinformation that the coup is attempting to pass is that we had an honest and fair (therefore legal) Presidential election. This hysteria over the Jan 6. demonstration is intended to distract from that.

Agreed.

I, of course, think they were all nuts. However, if this is what they feel was the correct course of action to take and they really imagine themselves as patriots...one would think they would happy stand in the stocks and take whatever punishment is dealt out to them. I think it's dawning on them that they were sold a bill of goods and were bamboozled.

That you believe this disturbance was any threat to our country shows complete emasculation.

Bottom line is those that took part in the insurrection against our government thought they were man enough to do it. Now they ought to be man enough to say, "Yes, I did it, guilty as charged", instead of trying to pass off their personal responsibility for their personal acts against The United States of America.

Sentencing should be harsh to discourage the foolish from attempting to attack their country again and to discourage others from such foolish, destructive, unpatriotic acts against our country.

The truly unpatriotic acts were the election frauds that caused all this protesting to occur in the first place. Hopefully the audit in Arizona, and the clear-cut coverup of fraud by the Maricopa County officials, and Dominion, both of whom have been predictably hostile to the audit, and uncooperative with it, will spur some action to rectify the whole situation, as well as in other battleground states.

These should culminate in the removals of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris from office and some US Senators also. And yes, sentencing should be harsh.
