Is this paragraph accurate as stated?[edit]

"On November 17, Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in prison. He served his sentence at Federal Correctional Institution - Safford in Safford, Arizona, with an original release date of May 25, 2023. On March 30, 2023, attorney Albert Watkins announced Chansley had just been released from prison 14 months early and moved to a halfway house." This statement seems inaccurate to me, as it states Chansley was released from prison 14 months early, yet it lists the original release date as May 25, 2023, and his release date as March 30, 2023. That totals to less than two months, not the 14 months mentioned. Is there information here that may be missing? Or is this a typographical error? Thanks.

The 41 months count from Jan 21, including the time he was already in custody before the sentence from Nov 21. A release in Mar 23 makes 27 months from Jan 21, which is 14 earlier than 41. --Blobstar (talk) 09:27, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm still not quite clear, though. Nov. 21, 2021 to March 23, 2023 is 28 months. Sorry if I seem picky, I just want to understand this and make sure it's accurate. If the custody date is Nov. 21, then shouldn't the original release date be 41 months after that, thus it would be April 21, 2024? This is where I'm confused. Thanks for your insights.

Because he was in pre-trial custody since Jan 9, 2021 you need to count from Jan 21, not Nov 21. January 2021 plus 3y5m (41m) would be May 2024. January 2021 to March 2023 was 27 months. That's why when he was released from prison in March 23, they said he was released after 27 months, 14 months earlier than the original 41. --Blobstar (talk) 12:27, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yoga leggings[edit]

He is now selling yoga leggings as "America's Shaman".[1] That should probably go in the article. Also the mention of "original release date" of May 25 2023 doesn't sound like it can be right, since the original sentence was 41 months starting no earlier than November 2021. 2601:644:8501:CF70:0:0:0:7260 (talk) 11:51, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He has a whole store with Shaman-themed items. Why just mention the pants? 57.135.233.22 (talk) 06:09, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notoriety[edit]

It seems his notoriety stems from his appearance, not any particular action he took on Jan 6. Without the costume, he would have just been another anonymous person in the crowd. 57.135.233.22 (talk) 06:00, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't just his clothes.
  • Chansley entered the Senate floor in the Capitol, ... was also photographed standing on the raised platform in front of Vice President Mike Pence's chair, gaining him significant media attention.
  • In a January 14 court filing, federal prosecutors said that Chansley had left a note on Pence's desk in the Senate chamber that said "It's only a matter of time, justice is coming."

Former trump supporter and disavows Qanon[edit]

That statement of former Trump supporter and disavowed Qanon is not accurate. He was recently on Luke Beasely show on Youtube. He still supports Trump and is still a conspiracy guy. 70NofkrBS (talk) 02:50, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs complete dates[edit]

Several dates need updating/more complete information.

example: "On November 17, Chansley was sentenced..."

That partial date should include the year.

Opening paragraph similarly gives the partial date of the incident as - "the January 6th United States Capitol Attack"

This too, and others within the article as well, should include the year in the date reference. 2600:8800:181:3000:7880:CA78:431A:85F4 (talk) 15:59, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
