Heavy Metal Guitarist-Turned-Capitol Rioter Has Feces Thrown at Him in Jail
Heavy metal band Iced Earth’s guitarist Jon Schaffer, who pleaded guilty to charges related to the Capitol riot, had feces thrown at him and faced death threats during a hellish stint at an Indiana jail, according to his lawyer. The comments made during a March court hearing were revealed Thursday, prompting Schaffer’s transfer to a Washington, D.C., jail before he was released on bail in April. “My client, who is presumed innocent, has just gone through two months of hell where other people were throwing feces at him and urine at him and threatening his life in a horrible, horrible situation,” Schaffer’s attorney Marc Victor said at the hearing, according to the Indianapolis Star. Schaffer was segregated due to his public status but it led to prisoners tormenting him.
Schaffer, a self-described founding member of the Oath Keepers, became the first insurrectionist to plead guilty and cooperate with the feds. He is expected to face between 3.5-4.5 years in prison.

That's not because he's an admitted insurrectionist. That's because he turned into a fink when he agreed to cooperate with the feds.
As the saying goes, "Snitches get stitches."

That doesn't appear to be the case; his guilty plea (per an agreement to cooperate) came in April, a month after this story came to light. It lookd like the prosecutors figured jail time might have made some of these assholes more cooperative--it looked like it worked with him. My guess is the attacks were prompted by his white supremacist views (and those of his follow oath keepers).
