After seeing the footage, his prison time is too much


Just for walking around and being escorted by cops?
Sure, he should get busted for walking in but not for being calm, quiet and respectful.

If he really was committing a crime then why didn't the police arrest him and away from the crowd when they had the chance?
He really looks innocent to me.

They should have given him probation and community service.
Not prison time for more than a year!

The Judge who sentenced Chansley was a Reagan appointee.

he is famous and will most likely use his celebrity to have an easy sex filled life. that one or two years in prison is a small price to pay for his new stardom. Dont feel too bad for the guy, girls love famous people. He will be drowning in so much pussy he wont even remember his time in the big house

Are you suggesting that we put on weird costumes or outfits or something that is way different than what everyone else is wearing, do a crime then time and we will be like rock stars only without the hassle of touring and get that sweet groupie sex that way?
The Minion costume I made and wore to last year's H.Ween party was a hit!
Maybe you are onto something here!

this dude got lucky. lots of people did time but werent rocking such a badass outfit to go viral. his legend is cemented into Murican history

I agree he should not get jail time. He may not be a candidate for commital, as the standard for involuntary commital is quite high, but having seen and heard him... He is clearly crazy. People like that need to be counseled and given the opportunity to get help that will not happen in prison.

Supervised release with mental health care.

I dunno.
I don't play armchair shrink.
I leave psych. evaluations up to the experts who actually check the person out.

People do or can, "go nuts," during a protest or action where the adrenaline runs high with yelling and screaming, as I have done.
I wasn't crazy just angry and excited.

He refers to himself as a "shaman."
Either he really is from having gone through studies and training to be one or that is just a label he put onto himself without really practicing shamanism.

In any case he is quite the colorful character who I think is pretty harmless.

His new lawyer said Chansley isnt crazy and never was. His original lawyer apparently made that part up.

Like I said, go with the words of experts who actually checked him out.

I'm scared to leave the house!!
He's threatened by what we have.
