Not everyone thought the post was funny. Twelve days after he posted it, Ortiz told KSAT some people sent him threats.“It kind of just blown out of proportion,” said Ortiz. “It’s just a haircut to me. I mean, it’s just something that everybody’s been doing right now,” said Ricardo Gonzalez, a barber at Jefitos Kutz.

Ortiz wants people to know the post was never meant to be taken seriously. After all, some of his own employees have the so-called “Edgar”, which KSAT confirmed when we visited El Camino on Wednesday.
