ICED EARTH's JON SCHAFFER Has Yet To Be Charged With Federal Crime After Being Photographed At U.S. Capitol

ICED EARTH guitarist Jon Schaffer has yet to be charged with a federal crime in connection with his role in last week's riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Last Friday, the FBI's Washington Field Office released 40 photos of people who are suspected of unlawful entry during a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol carried out on January 6 during the final Congressional vote recording for the 2020 general election. Among them was a picture of Schaffer taken by Roberto Schmidt of AFP. In the photo, Schaffer — who lives in Indiana — can be seen at the front of a mob, sporting a hat from Oath Keepers, an anti-government militia group, wearing black leather fingerless tactical gloves and pointing his finger while yelling at someone out of the frame.

When contacted by The Indianapolis Star on Wednesday (January 13), an FBI spokeswoman in the Indianapolis field office declined to specifically comment about Schaffer or the involvement of anyone else from Indiana in the riot.

"Like FBI field offices across the country, FBI Indianapolis is receiving tips regarding Hoosiers who may have been at the Capitol building in Washington, DC Jan. 6," Chris Bavender, an FBI Indianapolis spokeswoman, said in a statement. "Any subjects that are arrested/indicted will be prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office in Washington, DC."

Schaffer is believed to be one of at least 170 people who are being investigated by FBI officials over their roles in the insurrection. At least 54 people have been criminally charged so far.

One crime that Jon could be charged with is "unlawful entry into restricted buildings or grounds." If convicted, he would face a maximum penalty of one year in prison, but the sentence would rise to a maximum of 10 years if injuries or weapons were involved. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge would determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

While Schaffer has not yet said anything publicly about his involvement in the riot, his ICED EARTH bandmates put out a statement on Instagram and Facebook opposing the insurrection.

"We absolutely DO NOT condone nor do we support riots or the acts of violence that the rioters were involved in on January 6th at the US Capitol building," they wrote. "We hope that all those involved that day are brought to justice to be investigated and answer for their actions."

Last week, German daily newspaper Die Welt uploaded a video interview it conducted with Schaffer last November at a Washington, D.C. demonstration supporting Trump and protesting the 2020 presidential election results. In the chat, the 52-year-old musician said that "a group of thugs and criminals hijacked this country a long time ago" and warned that "they're messing with the wrong people here. Because now we see you, and you're going down. Mark my words."

Schaffer also seemingly threw his support behind Trump, saying "he's not your typical Republican" and claiming that America's 45th president is "dealing with a criminal mafia that has been in the shadows running the world, frankly, for a very long time. They wanna destroy all of our sovereignty and bring about global government," he added. "We're not having it… It will not happen. There will be a lot of blood shed, if it comes down to that — trust me. The American people will not go for that bullshit — once they understand what's actually happening. So, that's where we're at. Nobody wants this, but they're pushing us to a point where we have no choice."

Back in 2009, Schaffer raised eyebrows when he launched his SONS OF LIBERTY project via an appearance on a radio show hosted by far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

More recently, Schaffer voiced his controversial views on the coronavirus crisis during an interview with MetalSucks's "The Quarantinecast", claiming that COVID-19 is "a psychological warfare campaign on the people more than it is a serious pandemic." Implying that a shadowy cabal of elites is using a global crisis as a cover to profiteer and entrench their power, Schaffer said: "I think there's a lot more going on than meets the eye here — in fact, I know there is. Legitimate doctors and scientists are being censored and banned on YouTube constantly. It's unbelievable levels of fraud."

In a September 2020 Facebook Live chat, Schaffer said that he didn't trust his government. "I don't give a shit if it's an 'R' or a 'D' next to the name of the person," he explained. "You can't put your hope into one president or one person, or a mayor or a governor or whatever. You've gotta be out there and actively put pressure on these people, let 'em know you're paying attention. If you're not paying attention, they're gonna rob you and steal everything. Your freedom too. Not just your money. They're gonna steal your fucking freedom. 'Cause they're a bunch of sick control freaks."

Надеюсь, что Шаффер только орал лозунги, а потому понесет минимальное наказание. Здоровья мужику.

Всех кого хотели арестовали в первые два дня . Кого то даже уже убили ( мужик который фоткался в кабинете председателя был найден мёртвым у себя дома со следами пыток ). Кого не тронули уже не тронут так как их адвокаты сделали всё для этого.

Джону удачи.
Пока Минюст под контролем назначенцев Трампа, поэтому задерживают откровенных вандалов и отморозков, без превращения расследования в охоту на ведьм и коммунистический террор.
Надеюсь после перехода Минюста под контроль марксистов из демпартии у них не хватит духа пойти на открытые репрессии и нарушение конституционных прав. Иначе Капитолий будет брать уже не кучка клоунов-реднеков и желающих мирно сделать селфи мимо проходящих.

Ты про Навального? Но он не один, в его команде много других, кто не боится высказать мнение, и осуществить действие при новом фашистском порядке. Удачи им!

Фашисткий порядок чекистов не сильно отличается от коммунистического порядка ультралевых демократов. Всё один тоталитаризм, нарушающий естественное право.

Гулаг-номерок, не примешивай к актам защиты конституционной демократии свою вонючую фашистсткую чекистоту.
Которой цепляться за ранее захваченную власть интересно лишь с целью дальнейшего недопущения официальных расследований ее воровства, убийств и чудовищной лжи.

Гулаг-номерок, такой глупый выпад имеет успех, с общим хохотом, лишь в зале Госдуры или в студии программы Соловьева.
И во всех других местах, где мозги сдают при входе. У кого еще остались.

Кстати, недавно видел, как Пит Зильк из Iron Savior разразился лютым поносом по поводу вот этой инициативы Шаффера. Ну, в принципе тоже имеет право... В любом случае, великолепные альбомы Iron Savior и Iced Earth это не обесценивает. А Джон - просто олдскульный идеалист
