Capitol Rioter Has Feces Thrown at Him in Jail

[kpete]

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.

1. Another very good reason not to commit treason.

[Bluethroughu]

13. Lol, exactly. Could you imagine what would have become of

These people including the president and his GOP followers after that insurrection, if this had been ANYTIME prior to the sixties?

It would be more like death, and not poop.

[Scrivener7]

14. No question.

[Warpy]

43. I don't think they realize at all just how pissed off the rest of us are

that they tried to overturn our vote and install that fucking grifter as dictator. They're going to have a particularly miserable time in prison, the only gangs that will have them are far too hard core for squishy white bread suburbia doing cosplay in WalMart camo.

[KS Toronado]

47. The very reason "just how pissed off the rest of us are"

is why I firmly believe we will dominate the 2022 & 2024 elections

[Scrivener7]

65. I so hope you are right. That would restore a lot of my faith.

[Bluethroughu]

69. I feel the same.

[Rorey]

2. Is that worse than having a fire extinguisher thrown at someone?

I have no sympathy for him. He was part of a violent insurrection, so he's getting just a bit of what he deserves.

[Glorfindel]

3. Poor dear...

I'm SO sorry he was inconvenienced by those ruffians in jail.

[tanyev]

4. It didn't bother him on Jan. 6th?

Rioters left feces, urine in hallways and offices during mobbing of US Capitol
By Carl Campanile and Yaron Steinbuch January 8, 2021 | 12:18pm | Updated

They turned the US Capitol into a craphouse.

Some invading rioters defiled the hallowed seat of democracy with their dung in their ill-fated effort to overturn the election, a source close to incoming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told The Post.

“Congressional staffers saw feces in the hallways,” the source said Friday.

The vile vandals apparently took dumps in bathrooms and then spread around their poop, a Schumer insider said.

5. "People were throwing feces and urine at me."

“What people?”

“Well for one, the attending clergy.”

😂😂😂

[WhiskeyGrinder]

6. Prisons don't keep people safe, including people we don't like.

[Beausoleil]

51. Really. It's not the government's job to protect people!

Or so I heard.

[Traildogbob]

57. Ooh, I love this post.

Kilmead needs a turd tossed his way. Shit sticks on shit.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

63. It's tempting, of course, but prison conditions are not a weapon to hurt people we don't like.

[oswaldactedalone]

7. There's a moral in this somewhere

Let me think, oh yes,
“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

[alphafemale]

8. And that's just jail.

You'd better give us something worthwhile information and names in your cooperation because prison will make jail seem like summer camp.

[underpants]

12. Sounds like the people in jail "get it" and or more patriotic than the Fox News crowd

Of course he could just be a flaming asshole and he’d get some sort of treatment like this regardless of why he’s in there.

[alphafemale]

15. People in there are going to sniff out wanna be "tough guys" pretty fast

Someone who is all talk and nothing to back it up will be on a pretty low rung of the pecking order.

I doubt the guy has much in the likes of fight in him if he is not with a crowd seeking to intimidate and bully.

[WA-03 Democrat]

32. ⬆️

Talk is cheap. Where are your Proud Boys now?

[niyad]

50. wasn't there a post here recently about a letter from one of the proud or creepers

about how he was getting weak and sick in jail? Poooooor widdle snowflake.

[paleotn]

41. Bingo.

Turns out these "tough guys" aren't nearly as tough as they thought.

[UpInArms]

9. I have a hard time believing that

Because some people are saying the peeps in jail are just acting like tourists

[Escurumbele]

35. Good one....

[dalton99a]

[Silent3]

56. While I might enjoy the poetic justice, prisons shouldn't be like this

Prisons should be set up in such a way that it's incredibly difficult for prisoners to abuse each other. Otherwise our system is cruel and unusual punishment, with just a wink and a nod that we aren't directly responsible for it.

[UpInArms]

61. Look at wackenhut

https://www.company-histories.com/The-Wackenhut-Corporation-Company-History.html

By the early 1980s, Wackenhut had grown to include more than 20,000 employees and over $200 million in revenue. At this time, the company sought to diversify its services, in part because of the low margins available through its guard and security services. Increasing competition, with over 10,000 security firms operating in the United States, were another factor in Wackenhut's efforts to diversify. Although the guard services would remain the company's core business, the company expanded to include strike support services, in which Wackenhut provided security and other services to allow companies to continue to operate while their workers were on strike. Another area Wackenhut attempted to develop was the privatization of emergency, police, and fire services, replacing communities' publicly funded services with its own trained personnel; however, this effort met with only limited success. In addition, Wackenhut continued to market its airport crash, fire, and rescue teams. Further acquisitions, in 1979 of Stellar Systems, Inc. in California, and in 1980 of Indentimat Corp. in New York, enabled Wackenhut to expand its high-technology security operations as well.

Wackenhut won several major government contracts in the 1980s. Its 1983 three-year, $81 million contract at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina was the largest paramilitary security contract ever awarded by the U.S. government. A $5 million, three-year contract in 1984 to create and manage the Department of Energy's Central Training Academy in Nevada continued to be held by the company through 1995, when it was renewed through the year 2000 for $58.6 million. Another significant, and lasting, contract began in 1986, when Wackenhut was awarded $25.3 million for security services at the DOE's Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

During the 1980s, financial pressures, as well as overcrowding, led to the privatization of increasing numbers of state and federal corrections facilities. Wackenhut ventured into this new market when WSI was hired to design, construct, and operate an Immigration and Naturalization Service detention center in Colorado in 1987. In the next year, Wackenhut formed Wackenhut Corrections Corporation (WCC) as a wholly owned subsidiary and received contracts for two 500-bed facilities in Texas. WCC went public in 1994, selling approximately 26 percent of its stock, with the remainder under Wackenhut Corp.'s control. By the end of 1994, the number of prison beds under its direction had totaled 14,000. With annual revenues of $105 million, consultant and construction fees generating an additional $80 million, and profit margins as high as 10 percent, corrections became one of the most successful areas of Wackenhut's business. Facilities under WCC's control included prisons in Australia, England, and Puerto Rico, as well as in six states in the United States, with ten facilities in Texas alone. A contract in December 1994 for the construction and management of a 1,300-bed medium-security prison in Florida provided WCC with $50 million, its largest contract as of that date.

64. The privatization of prisons is definitely part of the problem, but even government-run prisons...

...have had a big problem with prisoner-on-prisoner violence for a very long time, from well before privatization became a thing.

The sad truth is that too many of us like the idea that prisoners will brutalize each other to generate enough political will to change the system.

[UpInArms]

67. I never want any person to brutalize another

Prison is not an exception

[Lochloosa]

10. Too fucking bad. No shits to give.

[Traildogbob]

58. You are wrong

Somebody obviously had some shit to give!!

[Tennessee Hillbilly]

11. Maybe this helped motivate the traitor to plead guilty.

A guilty plea and cooperation usually leads to a shorter sentence.

[alphafemale]

17. He plead guilty nearly immediately

He is being held to see how good his information is and that will determine the deal he gets.

Plead guilty to conspiracy. The info better be good.

[Paladin]

16. Serves him right. (nt)

[Wounded Bear]

18. Well, ain't that the shits...

[Beastly Boy]

19. "Presumed innocent"? Didn't he just plead guilty?

If I were Jon Schaeffer, I would pay less attention to shit thrown at him, and fire his friggin incompetent POS lawyer. He is the actual piece of shit who can do some real damage to his client.

[Buns_of_Fire]

20. Music critics? nt

[CurtEastPoint]

21. when you wear the confederate flag, you deserve it.

[WA-03 Democrat]

34. A Poser from Head to Toe!

[benfranklin1776]

44. So what's his beef?

The first pic shows he’s obviously used to being covered in shit so maybe they thought he likes it

[Dopers_Greed]

49. As part of his restitution...

That Gibson should be given to a better musician and human.

I suggest a guitarist from the "Democrat" party...

[Takket]

22. So even the rest of the prison population...

Is more patriotic than drumpf fans. I hope this is a preview of how their lives in prison are going to go.

[Midnight Writer]

23. Key phrase in this story is "according to his lawyer".

We've witnessed the integrity of these Right Wing lawyers over the last few years.

If they say something, I don't believe it unless they can show me irrefutable evidence.

[ecstatic]

70. Bingo! Sounds like BS. Nt

[Hotler]

24. I bet he wouldn't hesitate to throw poo and pee at democrats or libs. nt

[malaise]

25. Well they threw shit all over the building

I care - NOT

[Progressive Jones]

26. No pity here. No pity for traitors. Regarding his profession...

I'm a big fan of Metal. I'm aware of this guy's band.
I saw his band several years ago, at a festival. Iced Earth was a third tier act, at best. Four years ago, the local band I was in was to be the support act for them on a bill at a club here ( Chicago area). First, they didn't show up,. Second, there were no more people at that club that night than there would have normally been on a Saturday night.

[COL Mustard]

28. Good. Prison Should Be An Uncomfortable Place So You Never Want To Go (Back) There

I'm not condoning prison violence, but this kind of shit (pun intended) is relatively mild from what I understand. I've never been behind bars and I don't ever intend to be. I just hope it's an uncomfortable enough experience for him and his ilk that they'll reconsider their future actions when they get out.

Also, since he's a felon, he can't vote and can't own a gun. Sweet!

[hot2na]

29. Oh the poor insurrectionist blah, blah, blah...

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,”

In other words; Welcome to F***ing jail you terrorist scumbag. If you were a law abiding citizen instead of a worthless piece of shit, you wouldn't be in that situation.

[bucolic_frolic]

30. If they expected to be treated like heroes, surprise, surprise

I think it'll be more like embezzlers and wife-beaters. They tried to end our democracy.

[Tadpole Raisin]

31. I have a rabid belief in prison reform

in many areas including how prisoners (assuming with guards looking the other way) to attack fellow inmates.

On the other hand….

And I actually feel guilty for feeling this way. Maybe I wouldn’t feel so guilty if a treasonous Congress critter ended up there.

Crap, more guilt.

[Handler]

33. Bless his heart

Life is hard, life is real hard when you are an insurrectionist.

[world wide wally]

36. Sucks to be you.

And your guitar playing sucks too.

[NCjack]

38. He should respectively request the warden to put him in isolation.

[SledDriver]

39. Oh no!

[Iggo]

40. Sure he did.

[DemUnleashed]

42. After...

After reading this, honestly I don't know if my day will get any better!!! 👏

[Firestorm49]

45. Sounds like he can dish it out but he can't take it. Poor little bitch!

[LiberalFighter]

46. Indiana? Really? Need proof.

[niyad]

48. is there any evidence of these allegations?

[sinkingfeeling]

52. Boo hoo

[WhiteTara]

53. He pleaded guilty. His not presumed innocent.

good mouthpiece though.

[durablend]

54. If only there were some way

That he could've kept this all from happening....

[orwell]

55. Earth to Jon...

...Jail sucks.

That's why normal people try to avoid doing stupid things that sends them there.

Enjoy your stay...fascist moron.

[Botany]

59. Not so much of a bad ass now Mr. Schaffer? Betya the A.A. inside liked your stars and bars head gea

BTW as noted up thread he has plead guilty so he is not presumed innocent.

[Johnny2X2X]

60. They don't like anti American terrorists in jail

These people are traitors to America, they hate their country, that doesn’t fly in jail.

[Kid Berwyn]

62. Yeah, but was it on fire?

Traitor’s lucky.

[GoodRaisin]

66. I think he and his lawyer should call Trump

and wait for a return call, since he loves Trump enough to commit felonies for him. Then practice flinging poo to get ready for his return to prison.

[Trueblue1968]

68. I HOPE HE FACES PRISON TIME FOR 894765 years !!!!!!!!

[UnderThisLaw]

71. Maybe they've heard his guitar playing (NFM)

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

72. He'll do 4 years in federal prison Protective Custody hell for his treasonous

actions.

TFG's white supremacist insurrectionists who tried to trash our democracy and our country won't fare well in prison.
