by Very Clever PeopleDoug Jensen was not an intended part of any group or mob at any time that day, the motion stated. He simply went to observe The Storm. He was at the front of the crowd, but in no way leading anyone. He was in front of everyone for the now disclosed silly reason to get Q recognized for The Storm that was about to take place.

Doug Jensen became a victim of numerous conspiracy theories that were being fed to him over the internet by a number of very clever people, who were uniquely equipped with slight, if any, moral or social consciousness, his attorney wrote. For reasons he does not even understand today, he became a true believer and was convinced he doing a noble service by becoming a digital soldier for Q. Maybe it was mid-life crisis, the pandemic, or perhaps the message just seemed to elevate him from his ordinary life to an exalted status with an honorable goal. In any event, he fell victim to this barrage of internet sourced info and came to the Capitol, at the direction of the President of the United States, to demonstrate that he was a true patriot.

Heh. Being an ignorant fucker is no excuse in law. I love the fact that the evidence is there that he was indeed at the front of the charge, but somehow he was a passive participant rather than an active one. But it is all Q and Trumps fault as if he had no agency over his own behaviour. Oh my!

(37,160 posts)Plenty of people make fly-bys of such things. Some of those hit braking thrusters and go into orbit.
You, son, are one of the people who made a full-blown, 4-point landing.
Yeah, some other people aren't exactly off the hook for all this, but the only person who compelled you to believe all this nonsense was you.

Okay, Doug, one more time: first your right foot, then your other right foot, then your right foot again, then your other right foot again... See, that's not so hard, now, is it? (Doug falls on his face...) Okay, well I guess it is. Let's try it again, slower this time...
