Horned Capitol rioter is ‘failed actor and QAnon conspiracy theorist who lives with his mother’ — report

A Trump supporter who became known as the ‘QAnon shaman’ after being pictured during riots at the US Capitol is reportedly a “failed actor” and conspiracy theorist described by his mother’s neighbours as “bizarre."
Jacob Angeli Chansley, 33, was charged with entering a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds after he participated in the mob that laid siege to the Capitol on Wednesday.
He was photographed wearing horns and carrying a spear while rioting in the Senate debating chamber and had painted his face with red, white and blue face paint.
According to the Daily Mail , Chansley has been living with his 56-year-old mother, Martha, since January 2019 after he was evicted from his apartment in Phoenix, Arizona, owing US$1,247 in rent arrears.
The newspaper reported that Chansley is unemployed, having failed to launch an acting career, and has been seen wandering through his mother’s neighbourhood in Glendale dressed in the same costume he wore to the Capitol riots.
He also has a car bumper sticker with the word ‘WQKE’ and the hashtags ‘#AllAboutTheChildren’ and ‘#TheGreatAwakening’, which are references to the QAnon conspiracy theory movement that believes in the existence of a vast underground pedophile ring.
Chansley is a fixture at anti-lockdown rallies and has been seen at numerous pro-Trump demonstrations over the last year, including one in February where he was photographed holding a sign that read “Q Sent Me”.
In September, Chansley reportedly led a protest at Arrowhead Mall in Glendale, in which he claimed a spiral sign close to the bathrooms in the shopping centre was “an FBI pedophile code”.
His mother declined to comment on her son’s actions, reported the Daily Mail .
One former high school classmate of Chansley’s told the newspaper his behaviour was “crazy stuff” and that he had “changed a lot” since leaving school 15 years ago.
A profile on the film industry site Backstage shows Chansley previously sought acting work and lists one project in which he volunteered at a Theatre Camp for disadvantaged children in 2018.
He describes himself as a “Voice Over and Acting Master”, and claims to be "capable of performing over 30 different voices and numerous different accents”.
Chansley was taken into custody on Saturday, a statement from the US Department of Justice confirmed.
Unemployed and living with mommy . . . .
When he goes to jail, maybe she can rent out the basement he was living in.
Allegedly his mother complained that 'the food' provided her son does not meet his standards.
He is now being provided all organic food by the system because he wasn't eating what was provided.
If this is so then what is his complaint that started all of this in the first place?
Lol I don't know
No doubt he's the right wing Incel's "Man of the Year"...
And ignorance obviously plays a very large role in his intelligence level.
Gee, r.t..b..., you left out 'poop'. Why?
Is he an incel, too? Do you think he did a bad batch of drugs and ended up with brain damage?
In prison he might just be involuntarily promiscuous.
I'll be borrowing that fab description at the earliest opportunity.
Great picture of Qbacca.
LOL!
Everybody is on fire with the hilarious descriptors today!
I think Chewbacca is adorable, this guy, NOT.
And where did he get the money to travel from Arizona to DC? It states he's unemployed...... Government check?
biting joe arpaio's pillow...
Mommy.
I saw this assholes attorneys on TV last night trying to pass him off as a good guy with no bad intention at all.
Quote, ''he's married to a doctor and is a good father with 5 children.'' IMO, he's a frickin' idiot that showed his kids all the wrong things to do and his wife should dump the dummy if she expects a normal life and protect her kids from this good father.
More frickin' excuses the right is full of them.
not sure but i think the one that is married and has 5 kids is the one from Fla that walked out with the lecturn, this horney guy we can only hope has not procreated yet....
You're correct it was the one with the lectern.
Not the same guy. The guy on the TV was the 'dude' stealing Pelosi's podium.
He cleans up nice, too bad he’s a psycho. I guess Game of Thrones wasn’t hiring.
First thing I would think about is blacklisting whoever gave him those God awful tattoos.
HIS MOM SAYS
Organic food served in what? A trough?
He wants to be a buffalo...he can graze in the field and have all the organic he wants
Don't tell me, he is going to go the Ted Nugent route...
Awwww....poor wittle baby
Breaking news: “Chansley has spoken openly about his belief that he is an alien, a higher being, and he is here on Earth to ascend to another reality,”
Now his outfit makes perfect sense.
looks to me like he was most interested in striking a pose during the insurrection.
I’ll agree that he’s a higher being ... in the crackhead sense of the word.
I watched his lawyer on TV last night. He was trying to paint him as a good guy just following the instruction of the President. He brought up that he was a veteran so I googled it and he was throw out of the Navy after two years for refusing a vaccine.
The saying of ''stupid is as stupid does'' is really fitting in his case.
She's either extremely embarrassed by her son or she's just as nuts.
This guy in prison, will be the one "with the purdy mouth"... just sayin. He'll be someone's "wife" for sure.
