Heather Shaner epitomizes what a public defender should be.

@whalesong8040

I admire this attorney for using her opportunity to represent these offenders to educate them about CIVICS, MISINFORMATION, DISINFORMATION, PROPAGANDA, and the fact that they are not the only ones who are disadvantaged!!!   This is the kind of enlightening social work that is so incredibly vital to begin to turn this ship around.      After watching Jan. 6th in real time, I have a hard time imagining that ANY of them were actually upset or duped into participating in a violent riot.   But EDUCATING these people and encouraging them to THINK FOR THEMSELVES is a fundamentally constructive way to handle this.

@darleneuna

What an angel. And I'm glad to know there were some people who were just dupped and not haters. Education is freedom! Thank you for your service.

@MrYokahu

She is amazing. I am glad she was able to select her clients. Education and wisdom are the most significant gifts she gave them.  I admire her!

@bthe1doright462

Public Defenders are ALL HEROS.     They Save Lives - They Represent Disadvantaged and Vulnerable Individuals- A most noble position.

@lucesainte-marie9017

There’s no way to talk to these red-hatted people, but Mrs Shaner’s hope in education is commendable and noble.

@missmelis7260

A good smart woman advocating for people.

@williamscavone722

To those who claim they weren't treated fairly should see this.

@philpowell3416

Well done!  What a wonderful person.  We need more people with the courage and wisdom of this woman.  Thank you for telling part of her story.

@Yasharvl

I wonder how many people will listen to this wise woman!

@jamesadkins1780

If they fear for their jobs then maybe they shouldn’t have instigated the riots.

@judykinsman3258

Thank you for interviewing this awesome lady.  Gave me a new perspective of some of the rioters.  Trump’s toxic hold on so many might well bring down our democracy.

@tulsaguy77

I really appreciate this attorney ❤️🇺🇸

@cavaliermama56

Heather is a combination of social worker, teacher and attorney.  All three roles are very tough.  I worked in a woman’s prison as a clinical psychologist for 2 years.  I found similar backgrounds with my clients.  If only our criminal justice system took some time to try and rehabilitate these folks, teach them skills so they can gain employment when they are released, our society would greatly benefit.  Some people cannot be redeemed but some can.

@nm985

Education is the key. Misinformation and a lack of a love of learning (and just basic reading) brought us to where we are today 😢📚

@martin777xyz

This woman could help alot with an effort to deprogram MAGA, which is something that eventually needs doing.

@s.c.8240

She is a great public defender and human being! Thank her for her service and showing such a decent quality in her.

@sed2526

This brought me so much more understanding. Thank you Heather Shaner and Amanpour and Co.

@nm985

This was a really refreshing interview, we need more people like this lady, let alone more people as dedicated to the law and the well being of people! ❤ Bless her.

@tuttiflutes

Thank you Amanpour! You are right up there with Lawrence, Rachel, Joy and Ali Velsi… keep up the good work..
