The Bureau of Prisons said Chansley was moved to “community confinement” — a term that can either refer to home confinement or a halfway house; but Chansley’s attorney Albert Watkins confirmed it was the latter.
“After serving eleven months in solitary prior to his sentence being imposed, and only 16 months of his sentence thereafter, it is appropriate this gentle and intelligent young man be permitted to move forward with the next stage of what undoubtedly will be a law abiding and enriching life,” Watkins said in a statement.
The Bureau of Prisons said in a statement that “for safety, and security reasons, we do not discuss the conditions of confinement for any inmate, including transfers or release plans, nor do we specify an individual’s specific location while in community confinement.”
Chansley, who gained national attention for wearing face paint and a horned headdress during the riot, pleaded guilty to obstruction and was sentenced in November 2021 to 41 months in prison.
The bureau now lists Chansley’s release date as May 25 of this year. The bureau declined to discuss the specifics of Chansley’s case, but inmates are able to shave off part of their sentences for good conduct while behind bars.
QAnon Shaman’ attorney refuses to apologize for ‘short-bus people’ comments
Attorney Albert Watkins first made comments to Talking Points Memo, which were published Tuesday, that Chansley has Asperger’s syndrome and added that this, as well as former President Trump’s “propaganda,” should be considered in his client’s case.
“A lot of these defendants — and I’m going to use this colloquial term, perhaps disrespectfully — but they’re all f—— short-bus people. … These are people with brain damage, they’re f—— ret*d, they’re on the goddamn spectrum,” Watkins told Talking Points Memo.
In a Wednesday interview on CNN’s “New Day,” co-host John Berman asked Watkins if wanted to apologize for his previous remarks, which also included the argument that the rioters weren’t “bad people” but were “subjected to four-plus years of goddamn propaganda the likes of which the world has not seen since f—— Hitler.”
“Counselor, the Special Olympics says the R-word is a form of hate speech and that the word has become an insult used all too commonly in everyday language,” Berman said.
“Would you like to apologize this morning?” the host asked.
“No,” Watkins quickly responded while shaking his head.
The lawyer went on to say, “For five months, I acted professionally, I talked to the people that needed to know, I made sure that the Department of Justice had the opportunity firsthand to meet with my client … to have them understand and appreciate the condition, the special needs of my client.”
“I let them talk to my client while he is confined, not once, not twice, but multiple times, and I got nowhere,” Watkins said. “All I had to do was get vulgar, get vulgar in a short soundbite-driven quote that permitted this very issue to come to the fore.”

It'd be nice if he could get his life on track.

I am autstic, but I do not have a free pass to do as I like. Nor does the "QAnon Shaman", but if he has served his time in prison then I think he should be considered for release.
What the jan 6th mob did was clearly wrong, but we can not "lock 'em up and throw away the key."
If he is going to "be a good boy" and behave himself then I think he should be considered for release and then allowed to rebuild his life. There might be restrictions on him that normal people do not have, I do not know if he is now a felon.
But there is a hate filled man who lives in a fantasy world who needs a bright orange boilersuit right now.... Mr Trump, in his case I am unsure if reform will be possible with him. But on the other hand putting him in prison will limit his capacity for further misdeeds. So I vote for putting Trump in prison.
What the lawyer said about "short buses" is disgusting, I think he needs to take a long look at his professional ethics and then make sure he does better in future.

No.
I think you mean "protester".
noun
a person who publicly demonstrates opposition to something; a demonstrator.
https://www.google.com/search?client=fi ... =protester
Based on what can be heard on a video, he actively told the rioters to go back home after Trump posted that in the tweet.
The Buffalo man was a victim of political corruption, by the sounds of it.

You can try to do so if you are the government of the day.
This happens on both sides of the political divide.
I'm sure that would make for good entertainment, especially if you introduce the Proud Boys as intruders
