Guy Reffitt, first Jan. 6 rioter to go to trial, found guilty on all counts. How do you feel?

[supercutebutt]

The first Capitol defendant to take his case to trial was convicted of five charges. How do you feel? VOTE!

Guy Reffitt, a Texas man who attempted to storm the U. S. Capitol while allegedly armed with a gun and zip ties, was convicted of all five counts he was charged with, including transport of a firearm in support of civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding. Jurors began deliberating on Tuesday morning after a week-long trial in which they heard testimony from Reffitt's teenage son Jackson Reffitt, who tipped off the FBI about his father before the Jan. 6 attack.

Prosecutors, quoting Reffitt's own words, argued that the defendant "lit the match" on the west side of the Capitol, where some of the most brutal attacks on law enforcement took place. Video shows Reffitt, with a blue jacket that covers his waistband, leading the mob up the steps of the Capitol, besides the platform where Joe Biden was inaugurated.

I feel good. I am glad his son turned him in to the cops. This dude was violent and even threatened to murder his family.

I feel bad. I want him to be released back into society like his daughters and wife now want. Most dads try and destroy democracy and threaten to murder their families at some point. No biggie.

I don't care. Attempting to steal an election and trying to destroy democracy just isn't something I feel strongly about. Furthermore, I don't know this man's family, so I wouldn't miss them if he killed them.

Guy Wesley Reffitt's 18-year old son, Jackson, testified against him in court. Here is how the New York Times describes a key moment in that testimony in their article about the conviction.

===========

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/08/us/politics/guy-reffitt-jan-6-trial.html

Some of the most dramatic testimony at the trial came from Mr. Reffitt’s 19-year-old son, Jackson, who told the jury about how the toxic politics of the Trump era had caused a painful rupture in the family. The tensions boiled over, Jackson said, after Mr. Reffitt returned to Texas after storming the Capitol and told him and his sister not to sell their father out to the authorities.

“He said, ‘If you turn me in, you’re a traitor,’” Jackson Reffitt testified as his father sat across the courtroom, unable to meet his eye. “‘And traitors get shot.’”

===========

I believe Guy Wesley Reffitt is correct.
Traitors should be shot.

And as he is a traitor (*), he should be shot... with it broadcast live for everyone to see and the recording uploaded to YouTube and elsewhere as a warning to other traitors like him for all of history.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
(*) Luckily for him, the jury found Reffitt guilty of all five charges, including two counts of civil disorder, and one count each of obstruction of an official proceeding, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a firearm, and obstruction of justice.

He was not charged with being a traitor which is primarily governed by this Federal law:
. . . . . . . . . .
18 U. S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

[abc3643]

I wonder what traitor-who-should-be-shot disagreed with me...

[abc3643]

... that is unless the disagreer believes that Guy Wesley Reffitt SHOULD have been charged with Title 18 U. S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy.

In that case, I completely agree!

He should have been charged with that... and executed although, I believe, the punishment for violating that law is not execution...

" ... they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both."

[Red_Arrow]

He is an idiot. He could have gotten a plea deal. There was no doubt that he was guilty. But this kind of case has not been proven before, so this was a kind of test. Now that others see how easy a conviction actually is, many will likely opt for a plea deal for a shorter sentence. Interesting that now one gal and two guys believe that most dads threaten to murder their family. lol
Video evidence as well as witness testimony proving all counts, yet the moron thought he would be found not guilty.

[douride2]

So far your poll shows most think they came to the right decision.

[supercutebutt]

So far! But the Trumpkins are basically blood-thirsty vampires who usually vote after the sun sets.

[Red_Arrow]

The sun has set all across the US and the voting is still going with "A".

[goaded]

I haven't heard "what's the big deal, nobody's been convicted of sedition?" recently, since that guy pleaded guilty of sedition. It's going to be an interesting year.

It appears someone related to a congressperson has just been indicted for taking $100k from a Russian and passing $25k on to Trump in 2016.

[JSmuve]

I say give the man a gun and send him to Ukraine. If he wants to fight for "freedom" so badly, now's his chance. I'll bet the soldiers over there would be happy to send him out in front of the ruskies! Shit, send em all over. Trump can lead the charge. I know how much you'd love to see that!

[Red_Arrow]

They would not trust him. They know he would side with the Russians and help them murder civilians in Ukraine.

[GMANN56]

Idiots do stupid things that land them in jail everyday.
He's just another one.
The people who busted in the Capital bldg. no more represent Americans
who voted Republican than the people who burned police stations and
loot from Walgreens represent Americans who voted Democrat.

All of those people are known as the "lunatic fringe"

[SinceYouAsked]

I'm glad he was found guilty. I just wish it were a more serious charge. He should be sitting in Leavenworth for the rest of his life.

[RolandCuthbert]

His son is a brave dude. It takes a lot to testify against your own father. I am glad he did it, but he had better watch his back. Those January 6th dudes are not sane

[DWornock]

The conviction is based on government lies and a government Star Chamber court. backed by the government media. In the USA criminal trials seldom fair, nor have slaves ever been guaranteed a fair trial.

[exitseven]

He was already convicted before he even had a trial. He will probably get 20 years behind bars while Hunter Biden walks around free as a bird. I hope Trump pardons all these political prisoners on the first day after his inauguration.

[supercutebutt]

He will have to pardon them from Russia because that's the only country dumb enough to elect him at this point.

[exitseven]

I bet if he ran today he would be President by the end of the week.

[Red_Arrow]

Only if Trump got more fake electors like he has in the past, and had his base voting more than once as they have in the past.

[msc545]

@exitseven Hunter Biden has been convicted of exactly nothing.

[exitseven]

@msc545 Thats what happens when your father gets to handpick the AG.

[msc545]

oh come on - you can do better.

[exitseven]

@msc545 nothing beats the truth,

[msc545]

So far, no truth is available. Gossip and rumors are worthless.

[msc545]

After Trump, being elected President is not a good thing to put on a resume.

[supercutebutt]

"I bet if he ran today he would be President by the end of the week"
-@exitseven

President of your anus, perhaps. Will you let clowny cum inside you?

[exitseven]

@msc545 There is a hard drive with lots of incriminating evidence about not only Hunter but the whole Biden crime family including Joe"The Big Guy" Biden. The FBI has been very slow in investigating any of it. They are too busy tracking down every single person who was in DC on Jan 6th I guess.

[exitseven]

@supercutebutt Why do you think the democrats are doubling down on all the fake stories about Trump and Russia and his taxes and all the other crap they tried to unsuccessfully dig up over the last 5 or 6 years. They know that he will win in a heartbeat by such a wide margin there is no way they could steal the election.

[supercutebutt]

Whatever lies you need to tell yourself to make it through life are fine with me. You can believe in a magic baby, a fat clown, whatever dude. Just don't get violent. OK?

[exitseven]

@supercutebutt Kid, I am the most non violent person you have ever met.

[supercutebutt]

That's good. Most of you Trumptards crave murder. It's why you luv guns so much. So I'm glad you don't have the urge to kill :)

[exitseven]

@supercutebutt No but I am buying a shotgun and a 357 and a friend of mine runs a training facility for law enforcement and he said he will train me. I am pissed that i have to do this but the police have been defunded in my area and I can see the deterioration of the city over the last year or so and want to be able to protect my family.

[supercutebutt]

Maybe your dream will cum true and you can finally end someone's life. :)

[exitseven]

@supercutebutt It is really not what I want. I have lived for over 50 years without firearms and suddenly I feel like I am under siege.

[msc545]

That is your fear talking. Nobody is out to get you and you are not under siege.

[888theGreat]

He was crazy and probably didn't like Trump either. Maybe he was after Trump

[supercutebutt]

He loved Trump just like you. He was willing to murder his family for Fat Donny. So really, maybe he loves the Orange Clown more than you? Is that even possible?

[loveslongnails]

One less lunatic on the streets.

[msc545]

Got what he deserved.

[msc545]

This guy would have caused a lot more trouble for himself, his family, and others had he not been arrested. Turning him in was actually a loving act by his son because there was no other way to contain him.

[goaded]

It seems his wife is just as bad. But she's giving the rioters really bad legal advice, so there's that going for her!

[msc545]

@goaded His wife is an attorney?

[goaded]

Nope, just a nutter, telling guilty people not to take plea deals.

[msc545]

@goaded wow. Very bad.

[IsoUser]

It's about time Trump Douches got convicted!

[joeldalton]

hopefully you can get treatment for your ptsd from watching 9/11 x Pearl Harbor unfold on Jan 6.

[supercutebutt]

Are you gonna start marching around wearing a 'Z' on your chest now? You know, since you are a horrible person who is always on the wrong side of everything.

[joeldalton]

If it makes you cry more, absolutely.

[supercutebutt]

Change your logo to a Z, dude. Just do it. You are already going to Hell.

[joeldalton]

Hopefully when Russia invades your town they use your correct pronouns.

[supercutebutt]

If Ukraine is any indication, those inept bastards will stall out 10 miles from my house.

[joeldalton]

They’ll probably just nuke your tent, then.

[supercutebutt]

They may try. But with their aiming skillz, the cardboard box you are currently living in will be hit by mistake. Oops. :)

[joeldalton]

It will work as well as that mask you’ve been wearing to prevent covid

[supercutebutt]

I haven't worn a mask since the company I work for dropped the requirement. Meanwhile, you have never held a job so you don't have to follow rules. But that also means you are poor. Sucks to be you :(

[joeldalton]

you're such a rebel. I keep telling you, that you bragging about your work at the glory hole isn't a job.

[supercutebutt]

gloryhole is only a hobby. And a mask never works for that particular hobby. Furthermore, if you were able to do logic, you'd understand that with a gloryhole, there exists a barrier by definition. Safety from airborne pathogens is built into the system. :)

[joeldalton]

A wall with a giant hole (not your giant hole, mind you) is also a good analogy along with a cardboard box as a bomb shelter for masks.

[Cuminginside]

How many years is he going to jail for?

[supercutebutt]

His sentencing is scheduled for June 8.

[Anonymous]

not knowing anything about politics is scu ha blessing. i fucking hate this country and love watching you political people tear eachother apart

[supercutebutt]

Behave yourself, please.

[Opinion Owner]

shut up idiot, get covid.

[Opinion Owner]

lmao

[MountAverage]

Good to hear.

[whosnumber1]

he's a dumb fuck

[krin_m]

Deserves it!
