This is exactly the reason why since the age of 13 i have stayed clear from Heavy Metal .. the only exceptions being Motorhead & AC/DC because as we all know they transcend the genre !
Law & Crime report…on the guitarist from the appallingly named Iced Earth who sound like a discontinued Dairy Queen line. At least, it seems ,as a result of his stupidity the band has split due to more than the usual musical differences and we’ll never have to hear their pastiche soft rock with Danish faux growl ever again. They should have all been consigned to prison years ago bothe for their music and his silly beard.
A heavy metal guitarist seen wearing an “Oath Keepers Lifetime Member” cap on Jan. 6 became the first rioter to plead guilty to charges related to the U.S. Capitol siege, a fate entered before a federal judge on Friday.
Although the maximum penalty threatened decades of prison, the Iced Earth musician hopes for a sentence much lower than that by agreeing to “fully” cooperate with the government, according to details of his plea agreement that emerged during the hearing. The agreement calls for a recommended sentencing range between 41 and 51 months, but the judge could ultimately sentence outside those numbers.
“Your client shall testify fully, completely and truthfully before any and all grand juries in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, and at any and all trials of cases or other court proceedings in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, at which your client’s testimony may be deemed relevant by the government,” a plea agreement made public after the hearing reads.
The Justice Department celebrated the debut guilty plea and cooperation agreement against a man prosecutors described as founding member of the extremist Oath Keepers.
AND YES THEY ARE AS AWFUL AS YOU’D EXPECT THEM TO BE
“On this 100th day since the horrific January 6 assault on the United States Capitol, Oath Keepers member Jon Schaffer has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies, including for breaching the Capitol while wearing a tactical vest and armed with bear spray, with the intent to interfere with Congress’ certification of the Electoral College results,” Acting Deputy Attorney General John P. Carlin said in a statement. “The FBI has made an average of more than four arrests a day, seven days a week since January 6th. I commend the hundreds of special agents, prosecutors and support staff that have worked tirelessly for the last hundred days to bring those who committed criminal acts to justice.”
