- ABC News’ Mireya Villarreal speaks with the family of Guy Reffitt, charged with five counts resulting from the Capitol Hill riot, one year after his son, Jackson, turned him in to the FBI.
The husband / father is 100% at fault. Mom and daughters are deluded.

The father is 100% at fault. Absolutely.
They are not so much deluded, they are grieving.
I have great hopes for this young man for having been guided by conscience.
By the tone of the dad, he doesn't regret it. So, he deserves some time to really think - preferably behind bars.
Yeah I'll leave the daughters alone because they are kids and they did lose a parent but the Mom, instead of abiding by the law and supporting her child, doesn't turn her husband in and blames her son for ripping them apart rather than her husband. What a garbage excuse for a human being.
Telling your own children that you are going to kill them? Really? CULT.
After the death threat I definitely would not be spending any time alone with him to give him opportunity. I bet he wants to spend some time with his son so he can make him pay for turning him in, and the daughter would obviously help cover it up. The fact that his father has no remorse and still sees it as a protest where he did nothing wrong, tells me he can't be trusted.
Many QAnon conspiracy theorists have killed their kids. One guy killed his babies with a spear guy. A woman in Idaho killed her kids and dismembered her own daughter, sickening, looney tunes.
Narcissistic parents do it all the time
Alcozar: Agreed. Does anyone recall the 60 Minutes story about the juvenile son killing the Nazi father a few years back? There is a RUclips video on the subject.
@@francisdavis1271 I remember that. If we're talking about the same one, that poor kid never stood a chance. I feel so bad for him.
Loving someone doesnt mean not holding them accountable. Bravo to Jackson. He’s the real man.
Man my ass his father does belong in jail for what he did but just don't rat out your father as much as he deserves it
Denial is very dangerous; it may lead to tragedy.

I applaud that young man’s courage and knowing right from wrong.The mother needs to stand by her son. They are enabling the father making it worse, I feel so bad for the son.
I agree! 🏅🏅 the son did the right thing. Look at recent united states with all the mass shootings.
me too
The mother is just looking after her self and and money and not looking at the bigger picture…..sham on the mom and daughter
The dad took away his last moments to be with his daughter during her high school years, not her brother
Exactly
Exactly
That daughter is full of it and I’m not buying it. Besides, during one’s “high school years” is typically the time kids rebel from their parents. It’s not like she’s a child on her first day at school.
Exactly. The sister is all about herself and blaming her brother for doing a right thing. Oh he took away my life ... ugh your father's selfish action did that
This 👌
Guy's wife said she spent 21 years telling him "you can't say stuff like that." Did it ever occur to her at some point that he was a lost cause?
Exactly she then chose to have kids with him. Whereas most people would see that as a red flag.
Nah This kid has been brain washed by the media and tried to be the black sheep of the family only thing he is, is a fuckin snitch
She agrees with him that’s why she stayed with him
The extremism and white supremacy on display in the United States are part of a broader pattern of democratic backsliding around the globe.
She was too busy enjoying his paychecks. And now she's not. Oh wells
It's amazing how these two ignorant parents managed to raise such an honorable young man.
S/o to the son for being strong willed and doing what’s right!
Turning in your own father to the secret police as if it were the Soviet Union isnt “doing what’s right” the son is evil, you have to be seriously messed up in the head to turn in your own father especially for something as minor as trespassing and protesting.
Its like snitching on ur father for growing a couple weed plants in a state that doing so is punishable by decades in prison.

Imagine being the son watching ALL the father’s events leading up to seeing your father on the news during the riot. The wife should be apologizing to her son for forcing him to see, hear, and endure her husbands tyrannical behavior in the home. We saw the father act out on the 6th but the son saw everything leading up to the 6th. She needs to take accountability for her part in this as well.
This 19 yr old kid is must be an excellent example of for every single American every member of his family needs to be proud of him for being a good human being he did the right thing by informing the FBI of his father criminal behavior
His dad threatened to kill him that's enough to turn him in
He loves his son, yet he threatened him with death? Yeah that’s real love. It’s his own fault for being in the situation he’s in right now. The mom and daughters know deep down that the father was wrong and the son did nothing wrong. The kid shows great maturity and wisdom to know the difference between right and wrong. It’s not his fault. Stay strong young man.
He loves his son, Not I suspect you mean?
The husband is a putrid traitor of his country and useless trash as a husband and father.
She should have divorced him before he damaged his family so deeply!
I agree with you.
And they claim it’s not a cult. What is more cult like than to literally threaten your own family with death because of a lie told by man you’ve never even met?! These people are insane
Okay karen..
Expression is not plotting. -.-
You should know the feeling, like around the time you bleed from between your legs
This father is a bully, a coward and probably a narcissist, and mother is the chief enabler. She chooses her husband over her children- unforgivable.
Kudos to the son for doing the right thing. It's awful for him and his father has done this to the whole family.
Threatening your son with death to force him to collude with your crimes is plain disgusting. Claiming afterwards that you love him is deluded.
Yeah, that father is sick. Addicted to extremism.
I had the exact thoughts. The father is a fame seeking narcissist, the mother is his co-dependent enabler, the sisters are the flying monkeys, and Jackson is the TRUTH TELLER. Not an easy thing to break out of such madness, but it's possible with distance & an excellent therapist.
My guyyyyyyyy you wrote that
Yes. And his mom needs therapy.

He's a hero. 🎉🥳
Thank you for being a stand-up young man. I know this couldn't have been easy for you to have to do but you stood up and you did it it took a lot of guts to do what you did but thank you for caring

@@markcortez5685the fbi had surveillance video of the rioters. So he was going to be found regardless
Those girls have been brainwashed by their parents to believe their dad didn’t deserve to be arrested. I hope as they get older they realize how much he deserved it
The girls know, they don’t want to be out the will!
Princesses. Spoiled
@Meo Meo I think the daughters just want their dad back. It seems really simple, especially if you watch their faces while he's on the phone. The son clearly did the right thing, but the daughters are just missing their dad. They probably have no interest in politics or ideology whatsoever and that's part of why they're downplaying the major issue of his radicalization.
You people are fools who Mao would have loved.

Well, do you not think that all of those voting rights being stripped away for a stolen election where the judges dismissed each case without viewing the evidence would cause people to get mad that their vote does not count in the eyes of the democrat party.
@@normette
What a terrible and horrible thing to say when the people were mad about the massive voting irregularities that were dissmissed without the evidence being investigated at all by bias judges being pressured by the left for mob justice?
You are incredibly off the rocker.
@@lowellbentley the biased judges that were appointed by Trump refused to see the invisible evidence? How absurd! Trump’s lawyers stood in court and said on camera that they were not alleging voter fraud and that they had no evidence of voter fraud, so what irregularities are you talking about? Pressured by the left while right wing extremists were literally plotting kidnappings and an insurrection? Really? Wake up, please.
Amen!
Jackson, you are America's hero. The family let the father's warnings and horrendous, extreme words of what would happen to them if any one of them would turn him in go unreported is the worst kind of "fathering". Jackson's mother is worried about her daughter not going to prom floored me. You go live your beautiful life, Jackson. Americans who have a soul salute you.👍
No parent, should ever put their family in this position.
If you've been trying to reason with him for over 20 years, LET HIM GO! Your kids don't need someone like this to "look up to !"
I commend your son FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING, and so should you! He's a great kid!
I'd be proud of him!
Tough spot to be in. One daughter is totally with the father, other afraid to pick a side, and the son makes a stand(probably did so because this is who his dad raised him to be). If the mother picks a side the family is fractured likely forever. She's doing all she can do to be their for everyone in her family. Don't see many women like that nowadays.
It religion why she won’t leave but there should be a red flag that this guy is unstable before she married him
@@michaelwaninger3155 The only side mom should be on is the children. (INCLUDING the son) she gave birth to. Helping them heal, understand, forgive and bond in truth again.

It’s sad that his mother can’t even hold her own husband accountable - to place the blamed on your son for his father actions is disgusting

Family is family. I hope your useless brain can one day figure that out
Shame on you for blaming his loving family. Do you normally blame victims? Do you expect them to pick one family member over another? You’re a psychopath if you can’t rationalize this family’s grief. It’s gotta be soul torture for you to have so much vengeful hatred in your heart.
The fact that the family said " he always said threatening things but nothing happens" yeah THAT is exactly how family tragedies start, believe what they say because they say it for a reason
IN CASE YOU WANTED AN UPDATE:
Guy Reffitt, 49, was found guilty in March 2022 on five felony counts, including obstruction of an official proceeding and interfering with police in a riot. The Capitol rioter turned in by his son got 87 months in prison. His sentence is the longest imposed on any of the US Capitol rioters. He was facing a 15 year prison term. The judge declined to apply domestic terrorism enhancement.
His wife Nicole Reffitt told reporters the trial shows that "corrupt, evil politicians here in this city" are trying to undermine US civil liberties. "This isn't just about Guy Wesley Reffitt. This isn't about just January 6th. This is about our liberties being stomped on," she argued.
I honestly don't know why the son wants to talk to his family if this is how they feel. I am so glad he turned his father in to the FBI.
Amen.
"I have 21 years of telling Guy you can't say stuff like that." Good job mother of the year, normalizing the abnormal behavior of your husband and continuing to live in a world of denial. I sincerely hope Jackson knows and understands how unbelievably brave he is.
Exactly. The son had to step up when his mother (an adult who should be trustworthy) failed miserably to do so. It's sad to see that she and her two daughters are "hedging" and trying to frame it as if both father and son were equally responsible for what happened.
She would say that’s her duty as a wife. Too many women put their husbands ahead of the safety of their children. Shame.
The father carried the tRump virus and the son was self vaccinated. That's a total of two vaccinations the cult needs to take.
This woman her daughters are so brainwashed and delusional. Kudos to the son for doing the right thing. The man seems abusive.
Exactly normalization her husband’s radicalization.
Until the father admits he was wrong, this family will never be whole.
Because the mom and sister are in denial. They’re part of the family, too.
Yes.
Bullcrap
That family will never be whole
@@danielmorse4213 How do you see it, then?
Brave, honorable boy. Mother is in pain but she’s lost perspective and setting the wrong tone for her daughter. That father wanted to feel powerful and he chose rage over his family. He was dangerous and that young man likely saved their lives.
This is a very brave young man - it's a shame often when we do the right thing we stand alone.
Young lady, your father would have been caught, he deserved to be so. Kudos to your brother, how brave he was to do this. Do the crime, do the time. It’s not about you. Ideology was there BEFORE your husband rioted. It festered and grew and IT destroyed your family. Not your son.
☝☝☝ THIS ☝☝☝
One day there will be many movies made about the January 6th event. This story will be one of them. But it will start out as based on true events. 👍
Perfectly stated. If she blames her brother too, then she's breaking the law already in some way behind everyone's back.
As I wrote elsewhere, the self-pity and entitlement the mother and sisters display are disgusting. Dear Dad is a terrorist, but all they can do is think about themselves. How about the police killed, maimed and scarred for life, ladies?
@@rhettlover1 who cares about anyone else. I would personally rather have 1000 innocent people die before me then my mother or father locked up
This kid absolutely did nothing wrong. unless his father never taught him that actions have consequences, this kid did the right thing, reguardless of the polarity it is receiving.
I don’t care what your political alignment is. Turning in your family for what amounted to illegally entering a building and breaking property. That’s scummy and a low blow.
@@appropriate-channelname3049 so, what crimes would it be ok to turn in a parent or child? Do right wingers have a list of acceptable crimes? Or, are you advocating for never turning in a family member, regardless of their crimes? It’s ridiculous for you to blame the kid for doing the right thing, just because you agree with the criminal’s political ideology. I bet you wouldn’t feel the same if it was a BLM protester’s kid turning them in for breaking a police station window.
@@crispyblack8779 you know they wouldnt you see who the REAL THUGS are its sad
The son did the right thing,period.
@@appropriate-channelname3049 let me remind you that these people did not just break into any building, they broke into the capital, a federal property. May I also remind you that this guy was affiliated in the same group that killed and injured officers trying to do their job.

I can't believe this woman is standing by her husband and not her son. Her son is her responsibility & he isn't a domestic terrorist.
The son shouldn’t feel guilty. He did the right thing.
Respect comes with accountability. This father has taken zero responsibility for HIS choices. His family is "fractured" because of HIM. His son has nothing to feel guilty about.
Lmao
True, the father is responsible for tearing the family apart! Jackson has to run away from this cuckoo family, his father is a lunatic !
💯
The son did the right thing. The father is accountable for his own stupidity and putting his family in the position they're in. Unfortunately, the women in the family are little more than apologists who are more concerned about prom and private school, while the son sacrificed his place within his family to do what is just.
The father is an idiot but justice doesn't exist
Well said - M
Whats just? He went to the capital to protest.. u people are nuts!!! The blm protests were a million times worse and i bet u went there with a smile … mao told the children to report their parents as well … lol

@@sir_iosis6760 You know that broking goverment things is againt the law and use all the taxes people to fix all the damage right.
So sad. The ripple effect that one man’s hate has caused. Disappointing the mother didn’t protect her kids as she was aware of the hatred and violence her husband harbored. And to say it is both of their faults. It’s just so sad.
That's a good kid right there, honest no matter what. Every parent, besides corrupt ones like his own dad, would tell this young man, "U did the right thing son."
The fact that the mom and sister seem to be blaming the son is awful. The son did the right thing, I feel bad for him. He’s way more mature and perceptive.
That’s what racism looks like 🤷🏾♀️. In denial
@Survival Monkey zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I'm sure they are afraid of dad they have had to cover for the things he keep saying and people he hung out with
Not trying to stereotype, but from a demographic standpoint, it’s was already extremely likely that the spouse would agree with her husband to the end. It’s unfortunate that the daughter decided to follow suit.
They are just as bad as the dad
The father is a coward for not taking responsibility. The son is a hero because he knew what his dad did is incomprehensible and wrong.
How stunning and brave...
@@xxxytheguy1296 Damn right, sometimes doing the right thing is as easy as dialing some numbers.
Incomprehensible?!?! What exactly do you mean, you silly commie?
@@degummybear yeah and having "the good guys" come and save us from domestic terrorism right?
That son did the right thing. I'm glad he's living away from home, too, safer that way. I want to slap his mother for denying her husband's wrongness.
She has been telling her husband for 21 years that you can't say things like that. Well , there are consequences for words and actions. It's shameful that the mother doesn't support the man her son became instead she justifies her husband's behavior.
This kid did the right thing. He’s far more mature than this father. Bless this boy.
Amazing how well rounded this young man turned out. Growing up with a father like that, generally ends in a continuous cycle where the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I'm SO proud of this young man. Even knowing what's the right thing to do, it would still be very difficult to turn your own parents in. He knew it was the right thing to do and his conscience knew it. He did the right thing.
The kid did the right thing. The rest of his family should be proud of him, not blaming him for a family split that is his father’s fault.
Exactly. His father already went to the capital riot with a gun, and then he THREATENED TO SHOOT HIS FAMILY. I literally cannot think of one single reason to believe that he will not harm someone one day.
Democracy :O
#Free Hong Kong & Taiwan, where they burn people and federal buildings during election year.. that is how democracy works right?
Dont you love democracy?
Fight for your party. Democracy
Yea applaud the boy for being thin skinned , now he screwed his family over because the hypnotism that happens from both party’s
Wife: "I have 21 years of telling Guy, 'You can't say stuff like that.'" She gave it away even as she's trying to defend him.
Reminds me of “American History X” when Danny acknowledged that his father began to indoctrinate them with racism at a very young age and no one in the family, especially the mother, spoke out against it. It’s incredible how the son had a moral compass to notice the warning signs and chose not to give into his father’s extremist views. The realization alone can be a heavy burden.
She’s condoning his actions and behavior. It shows her character.
The " I didn't know" defense. Works great when you're a child.. not so much as an adult, but hey... she's out of options , other than allowing son to be blamed for father's actions. weird.
To heal, all the members of this family must recognize the fault the father did on Jan 6, starting with the father himself. The son here stood courageously for law and order. I wish them good luck in the healing process.
- _"I have twenty-one years of telling him 'you can't say things like that' ."_
Seriously, lady, after about the first two years it's clear that that's not changing _anything_ .
I absolutely understand that it's a tough call to divorce your husband just because he's, well, *that* uncle at Thanksgiving, and then the 'frog in hot water' effect sets in. But when he starts threatening your children, that should be the wake-up call.
And, fun aspect: the less social support there is, the more likely it is for a family to stay in the hands of a violent extremist because of " how would I pay the bills" .
The mom and sisters are delusional if they think this is Jackson’s fault. Be angry at your dad for committing crimes, that’s the reason he’s in jail.
They're not thinking of what's right, they're thinking without the dad they can't keep up with their lifestyle anymore. That's why they blame that young man who turned in his father. They're as bad as their father. People without principles. Imagine thinking about prom dress instead of keeping the family together! The mom's just nuts.

@@highserenity49 I agree. The dad's a member of the 3%er, surely the mom knows and she approves of what he's doing and the girls have the same mindset too. But even if they've been outed, they wouldn't change, I'm sure their circle of friends and associates are also within the 3%ers and white extremists. I think someone should do some more digging, there might be something more to discover here.
I get they’re mad at the son because that’s what grief will do, but I hope they will eventually realize that he did the right thing turning the father in.
The dad was an idiot...the son was the reasonable one.
Don’t know how those people raised a responsible and brave young man
Alfons Heck, then a member of the Hitler Youth, recalled the effects of the law that encouraged citizens to report their family or friends who disparage the (Nazi) Party. In 1938, he was living with his grandparents when his father came to visit. See quote:
“In retrospect, I think it was the last time my father railed against the regime in front of me. . . . He wasn’t much of a drinker, but when he had a few too many, he had a tendency to shout down everyone else, not a small feat among the men of my family. “You mark my words, Mother,” he yelled, “that goddamned Austrian housepainter is going to kill us all before he’s through conquering the world.” And then his baleful eye fell on me. “They are going to bury you in this goddamned monkey suit [his Hitler Youth uniform], my boy,” he chuckled, but that was too much for my grandmother.
“Why don’t you leave him alone, Du dummer Narr [you stupid fool],” she said sharply, “and watch your mouth; you want to end up in the KZ [the German abbreviation for concentration camp]?”
He laughed bitterly and added: “So, it has come that far already, your own son turning you in?” My grandmother told me to leave the kitchen, but the last thing I heard was my father’s sarcastic voice. “Are you people all blind? This thing with the Jews is just the beginning."
@@charlesg7926 to equate reporting disparaging remarks to reporting a violent criminal is idiotic. He should go to jail for a long time for the death threats against his son alone. Let alone his crimes at the Capitol.
Kid has more patriotism, charisma and courage than the whole family.. Don't feel guilty for doing the right thing. You gotta look at how things start Too understand the that young man did was the right thing. He was thinking about the whole country and not just himself. That's a true Patriot.
Jackson exemplifies everything that is good , honest & decent , even at the risk of splitting his family he chose good over evil , he is a hero !
Wow-it’s certainly hard to hear the daughter accuse HER BROTHER of taking her father away from her. Her FATHER took that away. It’s amazing to me that they sit there and blame their son/brother.
Yeah because they spent so many year enabling the old man's bad behaviour, and overlook the honest and decent man that their brother is.
The father did nothing wrong.
right? they keep blaming their brother for "being the reason that their father is in prison" but the father did all of that willingly on his own accord. he put the rally over his family and then proceeded to threaten his family if they were to turn him in. the son did well. he saw the father's abuse and toxicity. but the rest of the family is refusing to see who he has become and instead blame the boy

@@pooglechen3251 thats fine. I don’t know why the son turned in his own father. Your sisters and mother will hate you. Let someone else do it.

That integrity and honor is worthless in the face of complete abandonment by the only people who ever used to give a crap about you. He'll regret this when he's older and realizes just how worthless that police, government, and the justice system is and what he put his mom and siblings through for no good reason, other than a selfish attempt to get back at his dad. "Kudos" from strangers like you pretending to care about him now will be meaningless to him on a few years when he has no one to turn to during his own troubles and everyone who talks about him now like a hero has forgotten who he is. I'm predicting he's going to die from a drug OD.
Absolutely the young man did do the right thing. The father is a grown a** man he should have known better; "Stupid is what Stupid does"😂
@@sir.lancelot8338 Isn’t that the upside down world we live in these days? When the children are more mature and logical than the adults? It’s a damn shame and I am behind this kid 100%! That a$$h0le he has for a dad needs to be kept away from us.

We all have a moral obligation to report someone who we believe is dangerous. It is difficult in any circumstance, much more so when loved ones are involved.

We teach our children to always do the right thing and that's exactly what this young man did. Mom and daughters need to wake up.
The father should apologize and take responsibility for his actions. As a Father, I would not let my son that I love carry this huge burden - as a result of MY actions. The family blames the son. Terrible.
Goes to show the wife and daughters aren't much better than the violent traitor who tried to overthrow our government. The son is the only patriot in that family.
It's sad that Jackson's family does not hold their father accountable for his actions.
I find it obvious that they were complicit. Especially the mom that allowed her son to be threatened with death by her husband.
@@highserenity49 It's disgusting, and horrifying.
The daughters would actually rather have him at home carrying on with his violent behavior. I strongly suspect they carry his beliefs but they know how to hide it.

It was the son who snitch and destroyed that family not the father
These daughters don't deserve a brother as good as this. They are an enabler is just as much as there mother. They knew what their father did was wrong but they didn't want anybody to speak up about it and that was wrong. Out of this entire family this young man was the only one who had a conscience and common sense and the courage to do what needed to be done when all the people around him were too weak to do it
You did the right thing Jackson you took a stand against hate. Live your life son
My God bless you.
"I have 21 years of telling him you can't say that " she admitted to enabling him no telling what he's said to his family
FBI: Open up ma’m, you are under investigation for aiding and abetting.
She has the same beliefs that he does. I guarantee she never told him that. She probably parroted everything he says
Those girls are going to pick the lowest common denominators for husbands if they think that threats of being shot by their father is normal.
Stay strong Jackson, it sucks but you did the right thing.

Alfons Heck, then a member of the Hitler Youth, recalled the effects of the law that encouraged citizens to report their family or friends who disparage the (Nazi) Party. In 1938, he was living with his grandparents when his father came to visit. See quote:
“In retrospect, I think it was the last time my father railed against the regime in front of me. . . . He wasn’t much of a drinker, but when he had a few too many, he had a tendency to shout down everyone else, not a small feat among the men of my family. “You mark my words, Mother,” he yelled, “that goddamned Austrian housepainter is going to kill us all before he’s through conquering the world.” And then his baleful eye fell on me. “They are going to bury you in this goddamned monkey suit [his Hitler Youth uniform], my boy,” he chuckled, but that was too much for my grandmother.
“Why don’t you leave him alone, Du dummer Narr [you stupid fool],” she said sharply, “and watch your mouth; you want to end up in the KZ [the German abbreviation for concentration camp]?”
He laughed bitterly and added: “So, it has come that far already, your own son turning you in?” My grandmother told me to leave the kitchen, but the last thing I heard was my father’s sarcastic voice. “Are you people all blind? This thing with the Jews is just the beginning."
@@charlesg7926 Yeah, because these are comparable. Gtfo.
Yeah maybe a miracle will happen he'll figure out what a kilobit is or something amazing cuz he looks so smart and then all Republicans and Democrats are like idiots.
@@charlesg7926 You forget to add that the Nazi party took power behind a "strong, charismatic man" that told them that he could return their country to what it once was. By the time the people of Germany realized what they had allowed to happen, millions were dead.
I hope I never do anything to make my son think I'm a scumbag.
Reffitt downplays his participation as " a simple protest", but then threatens his family against turning him in, saying snitches will be shot. I think he's damn lucky he only got just over 7 years in prison. Meanwhile the wife and daughters seem unable to acknowledge the crime, and mostly blame the son for "fracturing their family". smh
How horrible that the mother and sisters are so brainwashed and deluded. They admit that their father threatened them but they know it's harmless...? That sounds like abuse to me. Their husband/father comitted a crime, he attacked law enforcement, and if he cared about his family and their financial status, he shouldn't have gone to the capitol to attack government officials. Good on the son for actually doing the right thing, no matter how difficult. Too bad there aren't more like him.
I totally agree. The "harmless" threat is what all abused spouses claim. It was not responsible of him to put his family at risk like this. This was not a pep rally and he knew it. He flew in from Dallas. It's not like he saw a crowd across the street and decided to go see what was going on. The 3 Percenters are one of the groups that think militias are necessary to protect individuals from the government. The Founders feared that states would get overrun by a too strong federal government and wanted to grant the states the ability to protect themselves, not individuals.
This is why prejudice and discrimination continues, because of those cowards that refuse to do something.
They are abuse victims. Their behavior is textbook. Jackson is moving toward breaking the cycle.
Agree
Sounds like Stockholm syndrome to me.
Jackson, you're a brave, honorable person. Your father is a selfish, malignant narcissist. You did what was right. Hoping for peace and healing for you and your family
Yeah it sounds probably sitting around watching jackass dreaming of being Steve-O
This was perfectly said and exactly how I feel. Jackson I hope you are reading this- you are an amazing person and so courageous and honorable. I admire you!
You did the right thing.
Yes the son is more of a patriot than dad
Shelly G, bravo.
The parents should be proud they raised a real patriot.
Can't be mad at the kid for doing the right thing. Right is never wrong even though it's painful sometimes.
I can’t believe she blamed her brother for the actions of a grown man . If someone attacked her father wouldn’t she want someone to turn the person in who did it, but because it’s your own family their is an exemption. Please cry me a river girl. And for the mother to be on her husband’s side instead of also protecting her son . She must be scared of him too . I empathize with the young msg and I’m proud of his bravery
she's as DUM as mama and daddy is

Being a narc is a cowardly act. Narcing on your own family is even worse. Cops would have found his dad eventually anyway because his face was on video, there was zero reason to be a narc and help them.
@@martuuk8964 you sound like a jack ass so if his dad killed someone like a family member of yours. You would be first in line to tell the police anything to catch the killer.

This young man is struggling with the personal end of things, as this was his father. . . but ethically he has done, sadly the right thing.

Where there is life, there is hope.

You dont know that. FBI does not make an arrest on non-reported crimes..

Your logic is like, wack. Its like saying because someone was going to die at 11am, we should forgive the person who killed him at 10:30 am because that person was going to die anyways..

Family is family.
Betrayal is betrayal.
Snake is a snake.
He broke tore the family apart like a snake... it was not virtious..
The least he could do was tell his father, and gave him a headstart before he called the FBI..

Blame Dad as he put his family in grave harm by making foolish decisions. Period!

He called the cops to hurt his father, and his self-fishness caused his mother to lose her husband and his sisters to lose their father.
There is a saying "you dont have to be perfect, you just have to be there", well he cant. He's in jail because his son thought it was a good idea to snitch on his own family member..

No Jackson, you didn’t tear your family apart. The parents who participated and actively allowed the others behavior tore your family part. A mother who could turn her back on her child is no mother at all. If you need a mother, I will gladly step in. My boys would welcome you with open arms. You’re a stand up young man and will make an exceptional father one day, if you so choose. ❤️
Yes Christie M 100 percent ! That young man is a hero for all of us . He is not to blame for anything . His father willingly did a monstrous act and he is to blame and the enablers who were not holding him accountable. The son should not be blamed for doing the right thing. We need more like the son to avoid becoming like Myannmar . Amazing young man. He deserves better than the sellouts he got stuck with. It is sad they don't support him in doing right . He clearly has all the morals and ethics the rest of them not at all . These last few years though 😒it has been eye opening how political figure worship has taken a wrecking ball to so many families. The insanity has been over the top. I love what you said and he would be better off with you all than them . I see they will always harbor resentment and blame him when it was the dad in the wrong not him if they are like my family clearly dysfunctional they are not capable of loving to the fullest their children except the son is the only one who would be the very best.
Exactly. Why didn’t his wife turn him in? She’s been enabling and covering for him for years, might even be an accessory to his crime. What a dysfunctional mess. Jackson’s the only one with any sense or morality. I’m happy to take his mom’s place- she doesn’t deserve him.

Blame the father. The son absolutely did the right thing. Breaking the law is breaking the law. The father committed a treasonous act. Being loyal does not mean abandoning your own country’s moral principles. And I can say that those who are in denial, are not at all being properly objective. I observed the attempted coup (what it actually is) as a Canadian, and was horrified. Does the daughter ACTUALLY believe the father was not culpable? If the father had used the weapons and it was proven, then what?
Father would've eventually gotten caught. Mother should realize that her so is growing into an honorable young man.
SHAME on the mother and sisters for turning on their son and brother. He did the right thing!
Absolutely. If there is anyone to blame is the retarded father. He chose hate above family and love.
You so right.He should have think about his family.
Right. They come across as EXTREMELY selfish and seem to be oblivious to their selfishness. So glad there was an independent thinker born into this brood and at the appointed time he made the right, selfless, decision!
4real i don't' understand at all, these people they have so much hate and, they don't even realize that they turn themself into LUNATICS EXTREMISTs
My bad i guess they do because IT'S A CHOICE
Do the crime pay the time
It's one thing for a son to report to the FBI that his father is planning or has committed a clearly dangerous act. But having a son testify against his father is something that only amoral, godless bolsheviks used to teach children in their communist youth movement to do. Their great hero was a kid named Pavlov Morozov who reported on his parents that they hid a few kernels of wheat during the artificial famine when all crops and food were confiscated from the people. Hiding food was conceding a state crime. As a consequence his parents were executed. For decades Morozov was worshipped as a hero to be modeled after.
Family bonds should be considered sacred, son turning against his father or father against his son is the beginning of the fall of humanity. Jackson has brought down a curse on himself, his children and descendants to the seventh generation. On the other hand, where were you, Mandy, when relatives of leftist terrorists of the 1960s-1970s were helping those murderers hide and escape and not turning them in? Your notion of integrity is full of hypocrisy and stinks. Your relatives are likely embarrassed to have you in their family celebrating familes being torn apart for the sake of a totalitarian state. Your comment has brought further shame on your miserable existence. Hope your kids don't get into the habit of turning you in for every deed that leftists consider as a crime against climate change, gender identity, a Marxist fuhrer. Hope they don't denounce you on national TV. What goes around comes around.
The father is the ONLY member of the family responsible for their pain. When your son is more emotionally mature than you are, you are failing as a parent.
Beg to differ, the mother is also a major part of the issue. Read below the signed affidavit she provided to the FBI investigators. Last statement on the threats made by her husband on killing his own kids.
"Reffitt’s wife, who was not home when her husband allegedly threatened their children, confronted her husband. She says he told her “he was trying to protect the family, and if someone was a traitor, then that’s what’s going to happen,” according to the FBI.
Reffitt’s wife told the FBI that her husband is “super passionate” but didn’t believe he would act on his threats. She added he “did not indicate regret or take anything back,” according to the affidavit."
Props to the son. He did the right thing.
That monster is not a father. He turned his back on his family for a con man. This is a sad situation. His son is a good man.
After watching this...The father is to blame. He made his choices. The FBI would have found dad and charged him, eventually, even if the son didn't turn daddy in. Son, seek out a good therapist if your not seeing one already. The son is the true hero here The son is not at fault, not one bit for tearing the family apart, its not his fault, it never was. He bears no blame here, the dad is 100% to blame. The dad would have been arrested anyway. I want to give Jackson a hug, and I wish I could tell him this in person.
Yeah it's kind of like people that you know watching Netflix and dumb movies and such y'all made your choice.
Jackson, stay strong, and never waver from your convictions. You did the right thing. One man made the difficult decision to turn in his brother (the Unabomber) and, in the process, saved more lives. Your father has to face the consequences of his actions. But for your mother and sisters, that is another story; they will need time away from your father to see how his actions affected them, and therapy to realize what you did was right before healing can begin.
That poor son, torn between his father and family. But he did the right thing, so courageous. Has a strong moral compass, very admirable.
Na hes a punk
I can only imagine what he had to endure at home. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is the easiest.
The wife is the problem too. Jackson is very very brave. The dad broke up his own family. His actions of going to the capitol are what led to his families financial struggles and the divide of his family. Your dad’s a criminal girl, so the hope of him not getting caught by the FBI is delusional.
