At that moment a young man came into the bunkhouse; a thin young man with a brown face, with brown eyes and a head of tightly curled hair. He wore a work glove on his left hand, and, like the boss. A tries to jump off this dock thing and ends up slipping right as he does it, unfortunately in the process he falls awkwardly and hits his face right on the very edge of the concrete just before.
Kenosha, Wisconsin sees second night of protests after police shooting of Jacob Blake
The Blaze reporter Elijah Schaffer told Fox News Tuesday he thanks God for being alive after a person he described as a Black Lives Matter “rioter” pointed a gun at Schaffer's face as he filmed rioting in Kenosha, Wis. following the shooting of Jacob Blake.
“While interviewing this #BLM rioter in Kinosha [sic] he pulls out a real pistol and points it at my camera while explaining what we would do to cops if they rolled up on us right now,” Schaffer tweeted late Monday. “It’s been a while since I had a gun pointed at me even if it was just to make a point.”
Elijah Schaffer posted a disturbing video of a person he described as a Black Lives Matter “rioter” pointing a gun at his face with his camera filming the scary ordeal.
The unidentified man seemed to pull the trigger of the apparently unloaded gun as Schaffer filmed him. “Whoa, that’s right man,” someone is heard saying in response.
The man who flashed the gun’s face is visible, as a mask is pulled down beneath his chin. The same man threatened violence against police officers in a separate video shared by Schaffer.
“This man had a firearm, there were multiple firearms amongst the protestors and rioters,” Schaffer told Fox News. “It was a very unruly situation that could have gone south, thank God it didn’t.”
“It was a very unruly situation that could have gone south, thank God it didn’t.”
Schaffer said he attempted to interview the man after he was heard threatening police officers but the reporter did not expect a firsthand demonstration.
“He actually took his gun out and pointed it at me. He accidently dry-fired the gun, so I’m crediting God,” Schaffer said. “God prevented that from being anything bigger.”
Schaffer said he was not scared while the encounter was unfolding and feels the man was acting recklessly despite the gun appearing to be “100 percent real” and not some type of toy.
“I don’t think he pointed the gun at me to try to kill me, I think he was one of the stupidest people in the world. He probably has no legal right to be carrying a gun, he doesn’t even know how to use a gun,” Schaffer said. “He probably dry-fired it because he’s dumb and doesn’t know how to use a firearm and doesn’t realize you can’t point it at people.”

Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, was shot multiple times Sunday during an encounter with Kenosha police. Officers were initially called to a domestic dispute. At one point, Blake leaned into an SUV with his three children inside and an officer fired several shots, reports said.
Blake was hit in the back and hospitalized in serious condition. The encounter was captured on cellphone video.
The new Slipknot percussionist affectionately dubbed Tortilla Man by fans, since revealed to be Michael Pfaff (also of Dirty Little Rabbits), is quite the performer. Anyone who’s seen Slipknot since he replaced Chris Fehn in the band will tell you that the guy is all over the place, climbing up on stage props, jumping off them and generally being a madman up there. In other words, he fits right in.
In a new interview with Rock Antenne, Corey Taylor spoke about the stage antics of Tortilla Man (he shall forever be dubbed Tortilla Man) and revealed that the percussionist recently sliced open his face on Jay Weinberg’s drum kit mid-show. Mr. Man temporarily had to remove his tortilla facial covering while stagehands tended to his wound, but he came back out and finished the performance like a champ. And now he’s got a scar to show for it:
“You have to be careful of the new guy – new guy gets crazy. like, the new guy almost got docked some money because he almost broke Jay [Weinberg]’s drums the other night. Like, he’s the fly in the ointment, he’s the pube in the coke. I was, like, every time I turn around, he’s doing something weird, so I started chasing him just to make sure I’m keeping track of his habits and shit.
“And yeah, honestly, that energy is dope; it’s really, really good. He’s so into it and that it reminds me to be into it. After this many years, you can get out there and just be, like, you know, the audience is obviously gonna invigorate you, but then you can find yourself kind of going through, I don’t want to say ‘going through the motions,’ but it’s almost, like, automatic – like muscle memory. And then this guy comes out of nowhere, he’s hanging on people… I was, like, ‘Oh, yeah, that’s fucking Slipknot, dude!’ And it gets really weird.
“He’s fucking his face up, which I think is funny. He’s got a giant scar right in the middle of his forehead now because he smashed his head into the drums and cut it open. He was bleeding during the show, so he had to pull the mask off during the show and they’re bandaging him up. He looked like he’s just been to war, and now he’s got a scar in the middle of his forehead – looks like a coin slot. [Laughs]”
No pain, no gain, right? Without risk there is no reward? Whatever saying you choose, this much is clear: Tortilla Man has definitely earned his paycheck of late.
