After a group of insurrectionists stormed the Capitol last week, many of the easily recognizable, unmasked rioters are facing the repercussions of their actions. They’re being added to no-fly lists, losing their jobs, and some are now in custody. Among them is the self-proclaimed “QAnon Shaman,” Jake Angeli, whose real name is Jacob Chansley. He is currently housed in an Arizona detention center and is quite disgruntled about the food options available to him—specifically, he’s upset that it’s not organic.
Chansley turned himself in at the FBI office in Phoenix after the riot in Washington, D.C. He faces charges for entering a restricted building unlawfully and for disorderly conduct—both federal misdemeanors. The 33-year-old is a devoted follower of the QAnon conspiracy theory and is known for attending local pro-Trump rallies. He typically appears in a distinctive outfit featuring horns and a fur headdress, often shirtless, which raises eyebrows for various reasons.
During a virtual court appearance, Chansley expressed little concern for the legal issues he faces, claiming, “I didn’t break any laws. I walked through open doors.” However, he does have a pressing concern regarding his diet. His public defender informed the judge that Chansley has been on an “extremely restrictive diet” and had not consumed any food since entering custody. The judge assured that the U.S. Marshal’s Office would be notified of his dietary needs.
Chansley’s mother, Martha, also attended the court session to provide clarity on her son’s dietary requirements. Interestingly, her concerns are not tied to any medical conditions; instead, she stated, “He gets very sick if he doesn’t eat organic food—literally will get physically sick.”
It seems that Chansley might not realize he’s not being held at a gourmet organic food establishment. Naturally, this request has drawn a mix of reactions online. The U.S. Marshal for the District of Arizona indicated that his dietary preferences would indeed be accommodated.
Meanwhile, instead of feeling remorse for her son’s actions, Martha Chansley described him as a “patriot” and “the gentlest person I know.” This perspective raises questions about the attitudes of parents who may unwittingly foster a sense of entitlement in their children. It seems that perhaps it’s not just participation trophies that encourage this behavior, but rather the influence of parents who may raise entitled individuals—those who can threaten violence yet still demand their quinoa be pesticide-free.
