The founder and lead guitarist of the heavy metal band Iced Earth is popular among the FBI these days, because he is now a wanted man.
Jon Schaffer was one of the rioters who stormed the Capitol on Wednesday, and it’s not as if his presence was a big surprise. He is a stubborn Trumper who warned during a protest last month that he and others like him were ready for violence if it came to that, and also warned the opposition … ‘You’re going down.’
Schaffer is wanted for “unrest-related offenses” in connection with the failed coup attempt.

Schaffer’s involvement in the Capitol riot comes months after he attended a DC Trump rally in November to protest against the election results.
Hansi Kursch, who was also in the group, Demons & Wizards, with Schaffer, was shocked at what he saw and said … ‘We are deeply shocked and we think of the relatives of the deceased. We expressly distance ourselves from any form of violence, regardless of whether it is used against institutions or persons. The incidents will be thoroughly investigated and the person responsible will be brought to justice. We ask that you do not comment further at this time. “
Schaffer is one of the more sensational rioters, who with three popular bands and authorities knows where he lives … so it seems like the FBI should find him with ease.
