“They are both responsible”… No, Guy Reffitt committed the crime. His son did nothing wrong and is not responsible for his father’s behavior. He made a difficult choice to turn in his own father but he followed through with what he thought was right despite the impact it would have on him and his family. And as we see Jackson is the one being ostracized by his family not the criminal who is in prison. It’s funny the mother and two daughters seem to only care about how it has impacted them. She should be picking out a prom dress.. and that’s Jackson’s fault for turning in a wanted man and not the fault of the grown man.. the patriarch of the family who decided his extremist views took priority over being their for his family. “He took away the last years of me growing up with my dad”.. again the dad’s decisions led them to where they are. The denial and misplaced blame is disgusting. 🤮
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.
Just made me lose all sympathy for the wife. Poor kids having to be raised by two shitty humans. Daughter's brainwashed by the mom to blame the son as much as the dad, when the son did literally nothing wrong.
If ai had a husband that threatened to kill our children, I wouldn't be around when he was released from prison. You never know when someone like that will finally take that step and donit. I believe that man being in prison has saved all of their lives, even though the mother is blind to it. I feel for that young man. God bless and keep him.
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.
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!
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

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.
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.
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.
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.

Shame on you for tolerating that crap for 20 years... now you left your son to do the grown-up work and your entitled daughter hates her brother for being more righteous...
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
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.
You need to wake up. You really need to wake up. The Sun did wrong and now it's blown apart the family. I guess you believe all them lies from the demon. Crats, how do you like your economy? How do you like the fact that they're trying to talk your children and to have an operation to change their sex when they're 8 years old? This is what the Biden administration is brought to you. War, terrible economy and coming after your kids. Man, you can lead some people to water.But they'll return back to the filth trough as soon as you let go of them
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.
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.
The old saying goes that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. BUT it doesn’t matter where you’re dropped or fall - all that matters is where you end up & how you got there. “An apple is nothing but a seed's escape vehicle, just one of the ingenious ways they hitch rides -- in the bellies of animals, or by taking to the wind -- all to get as far away from their parents as they possibly can. So is it any wonder the daughters of dentists open candy stores, the sons of accountants become gambling addicts, the children of couch potatoes run marathons? She's always believed that most people's lives are lived as one great refutation of the ones that came before them.” Michael Christie, Greenwood
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.
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.

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.
@@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.

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.
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
@@conservativebarbie4754 Threatening his children is wrong. Trying to overthrow our national democracy is wrong. Conspiring for an armed rebellion against our gov't is wrong. Sedition is wrong.
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.
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?
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.
What are you talking about? Nobody talked about any tyrannical behavior in the home. You people will eat any lie that's fed you by the government. You will believe any b******* And you'll make it up as you go along. I guess you like all these people talking to your 8-year-olds about getting their sex change behind your back. That's the Biden administration war ruining the economy. Biden is the biggest enemy of this country.There is and what do you do?You're in here talking bologna
It's not treason.You don't know what you're talking about?You must have voted for Biden and his sex change operation on your kids administration.Jackson did totally wrong.He had no business turning his father in.That's a Benedict Arnold in your own family.He should be ashamed of himself the rest of his life
"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.
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.👍
SHAME on those girls and their mother for not supporting their brother. We spend our lives trying to teach kids to do what's right. He did and they are punishing him. Their father chose wrong.
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.
You dont know that. FBI does not make an arrest on non-reported crimes.. SON snitched and betrayed on a family member.. there wasnt even pressure on him and he still went to the FBI.. he plotted even before the riot.. 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.. Maybe dude wanted to have one last meal, and the son deprived that of his father
@@luke_skywanker7643 -.- What does that have to do with what i said? Cops do not have to make an arrest just because they witness a crime, nor do they have take action to prevent a crime. If they are summoned then they need to do their job unless orders to stand down are handed down.. 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.. He plotted like a snaked even before the riot.. a bitch move.... but he is only like 19? Live and grow, but still a bitch move..
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.

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
@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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
I'm so proud of this young man. Normally you'll see something like this and find a radical on the other end too. This young man was sensitive,logical, and just did what he needed to do. He knew his dad was not only ugly for the country, but he was abusive to his kids. If the daughter didn't care, fine. But NOBODY deserves to be around that type of threatening verbal abuse.
Alfons Heck, then a member of the Hitler Youth, recalled the effects of the law. In 1938, he was living with his grandparents when his father came to visit. 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."
You did not take away your last few years with your dad your dad took that away don't blame the boy blame the dead hes an adult they brain wise you guys you girls rather at least the boy got some brains
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.
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.

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.
@@punishedgloyperstormtroope8098 Talking about shooting your own son isn't "doing what's right" the father is evil, you have to be seriously messed up in the head to threaten to kill your own son especially for something as minor as trespassing and protesting.
The son somehow managed to find values in that family. Kudos to him. The mom said she had been hearing these statements from her husband for 21 years. She needs to look into herself why she would tolerate that around her and her kids.
He has a lot of books for a lad so young, who is from such a clearly uneducated family. I wonder if he got his morals from those texts... 🤔 Jackson is a total credit to himself and should feel no shame whatsoever. It's time his family made his father take responsibility for his own actions and stopped scapegoating the only person who had the moral fortitude, strength, and bravery to do the right thing.
@@georgina-a He reads a lot of Manga. Those are like Japanese comic books if you don't know. I'm not saying it's bad, just pointing out that they're not conventional novels that someone might assume.
@@77Amnita That may well be the case (& I appreciate you raising the point respectfully 👍), but even manga would have value here. It's an art form from another culture, which often conveys moral and ethical plots and teaching points - so it'd fulfil many of the goals that other, more conventional books would (access to other cultures and plots/story lines that can prompt the reader to assess their own character and attributes, etc). That said, I saw a good mix of different books on that shelf. But, even if they were all just fairy stories and comic books, it would have a better impact on his character (most teach the premise of acceptance and good overcoming evil) than staring at a phone or visiting echo-chamber websites like at least his father was clearly doing (& I suspect this was supported by at least his mother, too...Otherwise, why did she stay with him while he went down the rabbit hole for 21 years?). Thinking about it, manga may have also provided a firm of escape for the lad. With parents like that, I think most of us would want to escape to a different reality for a bit - even if it's just through a book 🤷♀️
This young man did the right thing. He has integrity and honor unlike his father. Such a shame that his family blames him when his father should have been called out years ago
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.

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.

His son is the true patriot. Not many people could choose integrity over family. Shame on his family for blaming the son for what the father chose to do to the country and his family.
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.
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
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."
A young man with some decency, it's beginning to be rare, thank God he had the courage. Awesome young man! How are you upset with someone who does the right thing?
It's absolutely devastating. The wife and daughters are so out of touch with reality and honestly I think victims of the father with 21 years of mental abuse and probably financial as well. This world today is a disgrace and so full of hate and evil. Like you said, what has happened to decency within others? It's becoming nonexistent and it's so terrifying!
No one should ever have to go through life feeling guilty for standing up for and doing that which is right. The mother and Jackson's sisters should really be ashamed of themselves for making their brother feel guilty for the atrocious actions of their father. Lastly, for the mother to not defend and support her own son is despicable to say the least.

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.
The dad was on video ffs, he would have got caught eventually anyway. The mom is mostly distressed about missing the other paycheck & suffering the financial consequences of what the dad did. I’m amazed at how the son turned out to be so well spoken, polite and ethical given his upbringing.
putting any parent away is hard. Turning my father into the police destroyed me. He too got a life sentence .for extreme abuse. To bear that cross and and be the ' bad guy ' is a heavy burden.. you did the right thing and if you feel doubt just remember your life and family's lives were threatened you had to do it. I'll be praying for you
I pray for you as well! You are very strong and integral human beings and I wish the best for you. I am so sorry your family filed you but you didn’t fail your family. Sending love to you
This man is on camera assaulting officer's. He was gonna get caught eventually. The family being mad at the son is ridiculous. Be mad at your dad and husband.

Shame on the dad, saying that “he did nothing wrong”, while forcing his son to make a choice like that. I feel for them all, nonetheless, and I understand why the women are mad. It’s a painful thing. But it wasn’t ideology, it was action the split them apart. The action of committing treason as part of a violent mob.
@@RealRUclips33 That's so incredibly off topic. Wait, I'm a mind reader: you're a republican, aren't you? Hahahaha. You can tell from your stupid comment.
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.
Daugter should not blame her brother! There are countless stories of non-family members turning in J6ERS. Eventually, the FBI would have identified & arrested Guy! Dad is 💯 at fault!
Jackson you did amazing. You don’t have your family support, but you have me and half of America’s support. And the mom is pathetic. No, she’s really upset because she has to support her children and herself, financially. That’s the only moment in the interview she cried.
“For years, I have been telling him he can’t say that” Lady, you tolerated and enabled this man. And were cool with his charge towards extremism. No one should be involved with someone who joins an extremist group - yet she stayed with him and kept her kids around him. Shameful.
Extremism??? Where???? Oh, you mean he was 1 of the trash heads that burned down Portland? Or maybe he was 1 of those degenerate politicians that refused to do their jobs and protect the taxpayer's and business owner's livelihoods???
@@johnsimon933 You are making no sense at all! You cannot compare what went on in Portland to what went on at a National American Institution! Both were bad but we are talking about people that tried to overtake the government and was looking to kill the vice president as well as other politicians! This is history! What went on in Portland will not be discussed in history class 100 years from now like the insurrection that took place on January 6th 2021!
All true, but slightly in her defense, she may very well have been brainwashed to tolerate it after all these years. She needs to kick him to the curb, file for divorce immediately, and find another place to live far away. And if she's afraid the kids may tell him where she moves, don't tell them. Classic long term psychological abuse or Stockholm syndrome.
3:17 "I have 21 years of telling Guy: 'you can't say stuff like that'" You should have absolutely ZERO years of having to tell a spouse that. Not threatening to shoot your child irrespective of intent is a no-brainer.
That son seems like an awesome guy with great integrity. He has no reason to be ashamed. They should be angry at the father, not him. The rest of the family needs to grow up and wake up. I have no sympathy for them. I hope the son finds better people.
How sad that the son was the only real adult and his actions probably saved his family's lives from a psychopathic father who said and did some stupid things.
No matter how many strangers tell this brave young man he is a hero,the people closest to his heart are the ones who can bring him comfort and healing. Not once in this interview did they do this.He doesn't need forgiveness for doing the right thing.He needs these family members to acknowledge that and ask him for forgiveness.
@@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS Not sure what you mean.Perhaps I said 'this'too often?If so,my apologies. I do hope my message was not lost in my overuse of 'this's' because it was heartfelt.
What a toxic situation the mom and daughter have put their son/brother into. "I blame both of them" is such a scapegoat answer for someone who doesn't want to acknowledge the reality of what their father did, or accept that those actions have consequences. She's angry at her brother for taking away time with their father? Your father made choices, and he's imprisoned because of those choices. There is no one to blame but him. To the son, there's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said by countless others on here, save for this: do not let this define the rest of your life. Work through the guilt issues with friends and loved ones who are level-headed, and perhaps a therapist who has no skin in the game. You don't deserve to carry the weight of your father's actions on your shoulders; that is his cross to bear, and unfortunately, so long as your family makes excuses for him, theirs as well. But not yours. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. You did the right thing.
Total agree, I was like...WTF was going on? in a minute I didn't understand what was this news was about. turn to their own brother blaming about putting his own dad to the prison? that so toxic and bizzare for the 3, the son make the choice and is not suppose to be the wrong one. we understand family should protect each other, but protecting what the dad did is a stupid choice. They should have know when dad make that stupid choice having his family behind while going on capital riot, there is nothing to blame about others of this and he should be ready to get caught(no matter with the family or not). Now that they are acting so innocence just proved there are some twisted family values right here. funny and ridiculous. The son did the right choice, I agree.
In school "the horrors of the soviet union " were things like children being encouraged and turned into heros for informing on their parents to the government... now the mainstream media and pretentious try-hard leftists are normalizing just that.
As parents our first responsibility is to think about how our actions will effect our kids. Jackson is a hero, it took a lot of courage to speak up. Sometimes acts of love look like this, standing up for what is right. Anyone is his family blaming him doesn't deserve him.
I feel like this interview and the mother’s statement is fuel for the prosecutor. That woman has no understanding of how her complacency has contributed to this divide in her family.
Exactly. She's just trying to pass blame to someone else other than herself and her treacherous husband. The parents were most likely in lockstep with their politics....they probably couldn't afford more than one ticket to DC that's why "mom" is still at home blaming her son for not protecting her family
Amen. She is blaming the wrong person and she should have told her husband if you don’t stop this insanity I’m leaving you and taking my children or threatened to get him committed. Why blame her son? What if the father with his semi automatic weapon had killed someone or shot them, no one brings a gun to a peaceful protest.
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
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.
@@martuuk8964 The Uni-Bombers brother turned him in also. Remember that horror story? This is a matter of conscience. I was brought up, never to rat anyone out, so I understand what you are saying. Our morels are our personal conduct. Our ethics are our social conduct. 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. This whole business will have an effect on generations in that family. Let us visualize that this leads to good, since it is what it is, and it cannot be changed now. Where there is life, there is hope.
Father is a full grown adult and it's HIS choices that have left the family fractured. At least one person in the family has a moral compass and was not afraid of going against the grain by following his moral compass. Well done young man, you have nothing to feel guilty about. Life IS about the choices we make.
I’m sorry, we’re just going to breeze right past dad saying “you know what happens to traitors”?!?! That’s a complete threat! The mom and daughters seem more angry that the son turned him in than that he was put in that freaking position in the first place!
You caught that too. Just too blind to accept dad/husband has completely lost his mind. What's even more frightening is that I still can't find a legitimate reason or motivation for why the capitol rioters committed such shameful acts on Jan 6th. Liberty and freedom? It's what they aren't saying is what's so unsettling. Not many of these "revolutionaries" have the courage to just come out and say why they're so enraged and full of anger. Speaks volumes to how truly empty these rioters truly are
@@CDickerson Sure, on TV, in an i terview with their mother, they retracted what they said, when the event happened in private. Dad is a nutball, and always was, and he trained his family...almost
A grown man goes to the capitol with a weapon and they mad at the son who did the right thing. Blame your father for his actions not your brother for holding him accountable.
You "love" your son but you threatened to kill him. Sounds like insanity. He still completely delusional even behind bars because he describes Jan. 6th simply as a " protest". I feel for the young man that had no other choice but to turn in his own father.
Yeah, notice that the dad thinks it was all fine, just a protest and he "didn't do anything wrong", but still felt the need to threaten to murder his kids if they reported him. These MAGA morons can't even get their own delusion right in their own heads.
Crying while saying "We should be looking for a prom dress" Kinda says everything with how That Woman & her daughters are. The young man is the only sense there. My father wasnt the best, he was an alcoholic and not the best person but at no point in time would he hurt us or threaten us. He was more then capable being a Marine Vietnam Vet with Mental health issues but never once threatened us. I cant imagine telling your son you know what happens to traitors.
It’s like you and I had a similar upbringing. Dad would hit the bottle, get DUIs/DWIs, but he always did his best for us as a father, never laid a finger on us, even when he was drunk. I pray for that young man. I’m glad he’s cut from a different cloth than the rest of the family
I don't understand why they would be looking at prom dresses. There's a fucking pandemic going on for 2 + years and _that_ is what they're concerned about? Daft and dumb are the only words I can think of to describe these drumpftard magats. 🙄🤦🏻♀️
@@bethaniejify its all repulsive. It's been a year. Shock and denial is over ya know. Crying over a prom dress... the father broke the family. The daughters say the son shouldn't have turned him in like... WHAT? It's like they have a cult view of this 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 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.
@@docgiggles130 That’s hyperbolic. Presidential speeches mean very little. The government‘s ACTIONS/POLICIES are what matter. But if we’re comparing speeches, Biden’s speeches had similarities to Joseph Stalin, who killed as many as Hitler
To the son: Thank you for doing what is right and we all have parents to know that the decision you made took courage to follow through, but you are honorable to do so. It is sad that your family don't support you as much as they should. Let your guilt go even though it is hard. You have nothing to be guilty for. Like you said your father is an adult and he made a bad choice. Your strength to stand your ground is inspiring... Please continue and don't let toxicity of family get in your way.
I echo this. You may feel responsible and guilty, but he is a grown ass man. You followed your conscience and did the patriotic thing. I’m not saying it doesn’t suck, it isn’t heavy, but you are an American Hero. I also agree that he was going to be arrested no matter what. You didn’t take your sister’s time with him away- he did that.

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.
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.
It is obvious the son has more morals and ethics than rest of his family. One of the daughters, at least, is seriously misguided in saying her brother was wrong to turn in his father.
Jackson is a young man with great integrity, who understands that there are limits to family loyalty. When a family member with extremist views commits criminal acts & endangers our democracy, he needs to be held accountable. I think the women in this family are codependent & are only thinking of themselves. They want to live in a pretend world, where their family is wholesome & good. It’s like pretending you don’t have cancer, when you’ve been diagnosed by experts.
Totally agree. But with cancer only ur life is on the line. You can do what you want that Diagnosis. I would compare it more, maybe, to severe form of mental illness. And then helping them not take their meds, while letting them board a plane or something. Screwed up.
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.
- _"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" .

“They are both responsible”… No, Guy Reffitt committed the crime. His son did nothing wrong and is not responsible for his father’s behavior. He made a difficult choice to turn in his own father but he followed through with what he thought was right despite the impact it would have on him and his family. And as we see Jackson is the one being ostracized by his family not the criminal who is in prison.
It’s funny the mother and two daughters seem to only care about how it has impacted them. She should be picking out a prom dress.. and that’s Jackson’s fault for turning in a wanted man and not the fault of the grown man.. the patriarch of the family who decided his extremist views took priority over being their for his family. “He took away the last years of me growing up with my dad”.. again the dad’s decisions led them to where they are.
The denial and misplaced blame is disgusting. 🤮
That mom and her daughters need to wake up to reality and realize that the dad was in the wrong
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.

The old saying goes that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. BUT it doesn’t matter where you’re dropped or fall - all that matters is where you end up & how you got there.
“An apple is nothing but a seed's escape vehicle, just one of the ingenious ways they hitch rides -- in the bellies of animals, or by taking to the wind -- all to get as far away from their parents as they possibly can. So is it any wonder the daughters of dentists open candy stores, the sons of accountants become gambling addicts, the children of couch potatoes run marathons? She's always believed that most people's lives are lived as one great refutation of the ones that came before them.”

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.
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.

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.

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

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.
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.

Alfons Heck, then a member of the Hitler Youth, recalled the effects of the law. In 1938, he was living with his grandparents when his father came to visit.
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."
You did not take away your last few years with your dad your dad took that away don't blame the boy blame the dead hes an adult they brain wise you guys you girls rather at least the boy got some brains

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.

@@georgina-a He reads a lot of Manga. Those are like Japanese comic books if you don't know. I'm not saying it's bad, just pointing out that they're not conventional novels that someone might assume.
@@77Amnita That may well be the case (& I appreciate you raising the point respectfully 👍), but even manga would have value here. It's an art form from another culture, which often conveys moral and ethical plots and teaching points - so it'd fulfil many of the goals that other, more conventional books would (access to other cultures and plots/story lines that can prompt the reader to assess their own character and attributes, etc).
That said, I saw a good mix of different books on that shelf. But, even if they were all just fairy stories and comic books, it would have a better impact on his character (most teach the premise of acceptance and good overcoming evil) than staring at a phone or visiting echo-chamber websites like at least his father was clearly doing (& I suspect this was supported by at least his mother, too...Otherwise, why did she stay with him while he went down the rabbit hole for 21 years?).
Thinking about it, manga may have also provided a firm of escape for the lad. With parents like that, I think most of us would want to escape to a different reality for a bit - even if it's just through a book 🤷♀️
Pathetic and weak woman
This young man did the right thing. He has integrity and honor unlike his father. Such a shame that his family blames him when his father should have been called out years ago
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.

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."
A young man with some decency, it's beginning to be rare, thank God he had the courage. Awesome young man! How are you upset with someone who does the right thing?

@@debibarrington4697 is that seriously your only takeaway? You are disgusting. The poor kid has bigger problems at stake. You don’t know his living situation and whether he has mental health issues or can afford to purchase hygiene products.
"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.
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.
Son knew the difference between right and wrong even the father didn't. Well done young man!
The dad was on video ffs, he would have got caught eventually anyway. The mom is mostly distressed about missing the other paycheck & suffering the financial consequences of what the dad did.
I’m amazed at how the son turned out to be so well spoken, polite and ethical given his upbringing.
💯💯💯
putting any parent away is hard. Turning my father into the police destroyed me. He too got a life sentence .for extreme abuse. To bear that cross and and be the ' bad guy ' is a heavy burden.. you did the right thing and if you feel doubt just remember your life and family's lives were threatened you had to do it. I'll be praying for you
I pray for you as well! You are very strong and integral human beings and I wish the best for you. I am so sorry your family filed you but you didn’t fail your family. Sending love to you
Prayers for both of you
Hard for a weak person perhaps, I'd turn a criminal in easily no matter who.
You did the right thing.
This man is on camera assaulting officer's. He was gonna get caught eventually. The family being mad at the son is ridiculous. Be mad at your dad and husband.
What a good son! Taught his father a valuable lesson! That boy needs to move far away from those lunatics.

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.
Daugter should not blame her brother! There are countless stories of non-family members turning in J6ERS. Eventually, the FBI would have identified & arrested Guy!
Dad is 💯 at fault!
Jackson you did amazing. You don’t have your family support, but you have me and half of America’s support.
And the mom is pathetic. No, she’s really upset because she has to support her children and herself, financially. That’s the only moment in the interview she cried.
And the prom dress.
Yup
So sad. But you are so right 😢
“For years, I have been telling him he can’t say that”
Lady, you tolerated and enabled this man. And were cool with his charge towards extremism. No one should be involved with someone who joins an extremist group - yet she stayed with him and kept her kids around him. Shameful.
Mom and her daughters believed in what dad was doing and I'm sure they telling Jackson it's not so bad,he still takes care of us.
Extremism??? Where???? Oh, you mean he was 1 of the trash heads that burned down Portland? Or maybe he was 1 of those degenerate politicians that refused to do their jobs and protect the taxpayer's and business owner's livelihoods???
@@johnsimon933 You are making no sense at all! You cannot compare what went on in Portland to what went on at a National American Institution!
Both were bad but we are talking about people that tried to overtake the government and was looking to kill the vice president as well as other politicians!
This is history! What went on in Portland will not be discussed in history class 100 years from now like the insurrection that took place on January 6th 2021!
@S W exactly!
All true, but slightly in her defense, she may very well have been brainwashed to tolerate it after all these years. She needs to kick him to the curb, file for divorce immediately, and find another place to live far away. And if she's afraid the kids may tell him where she moves, don't tell them. Classic long term psychological abuse or Stockholm syndrome.
3:17 "I have 21 years of telling Guy: 'you can't say stuff like that'"
You should have absolutely ZERO years of having to tell a spouse that. Not threatening to shoot your child irrespective of intent is a no-brainer.
EXACTLY ???
And zero years of having a good haircut. She literally looks like the ASMR Karen series.
I hope Jackson is doing well.
21 years of telling your husband "Oh our daughter is fine with that" while the Dad continues to groom the daughter for when the mom passes away.
First time my s.o. threatens to kill my child they will vanish from the face of the Earth.
My father is ill tempered but even he understands not to threaten us with death let alone Infront of me
That son seems like an awesome guy with great integrity. He has no reason to be ashamed. They should be angry at the father, not him. The rest of the family needs to grow up and wake up. I have no sympathy for them. I hope the son finds better people.
How sad that the son was the only real adult and his actions probably saved his family's lives from a psychopathic father who said and did some stupid things.
No matter how many strangers tell this brave young man he is a hero,the people closest to his heart are the ones who can bring him comfort and healing. Not once in this interview did they do this.He doesn't need forgiveness for doing the right thing.He needs these family members to acknowledge that and ask him for forgiveness.
So much this.
@@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS Not sure what you mean.Perhaps I said 'this'too often?If so,my apologies. I do hope my message was not lost in my overuse of 'this's' because it was heartfelt.

@@alicechinnow1604 lmao that means they agree with you.
I agree!
What a toxic situation the mom and daughter have put their son/brother into. "I blame both of them" is such a scapegoat answer for someone who doesn't want to acknowledge the reality of what their father did, or accept that those actions have consequences. She's angry at her brother for taking away time with their father? Your father made choices, and he's imprisoned because of those choices. There is no one to blame but him. To the son, there's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said by countless others on here, save for this: do not let this define the rest of your life. Work through the guilt issues with friends and loved ones who are level-headed, and perhaps a therapist who has no skin in the game. You don't deserve to carry the weight of your father's actions on your shoulders; that is his cross to bear, and unfortunately, so long as your family makes excuses for him, theirs as well. But not yours. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. You did the right thing.
So so good 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Total agree, I was like...WTF was going on? in a minute I didn't understand what was this news was about. turn to their own brother blaming about putting his own dad to the prison? that so toxic and bizzare for the 3, the son make the choice and is not suppose to be the wrong one. we understand family should protect each other, but protecting what the dad did is a stupid choice. They should have know when dad make that stupid choice having his family behind while going on capital riot, there is nothing to blame about others of this and he should be ready to get caught(no matter with the family or not). Now that they are acting so innocence just proved there are some twisted family values right here. funny and ridiculous. The son did the right choice, I agree.
Her Father tried to help end democracy. He's a traitor and it's important that she see that.
In school "the horrors of the soviet union " were things like children being encouraged and turned into heros for informing on their parents to the government... now the mainstream media and pretentious try-hard leftists are normalizing just that.
@@616degrees4 shut up
She really went on tv and said he shouldn’t have turned his father in? Blaming her brother … for her fathers despicable behavior. Cmon.
As parents our first responsibility is to think about how our actions will effect our kids. Jackson is a hero, it took a lot of courage to speak up. Sometimes acts of love look like this, standing up for what is right. Anyone is his family blaming him doesn't deserve him.
❤❤❤❤❤ most definitely
Yes!! And I couldn’t agree more @Livin’ Montes
I feel like this interview and the mother’s statement is fuel for the prosecutor. That woman has no understanding of how her complacency has contributed to this divide in her family.
Exactly. She's just trying to pass blame to someone else other than herself and her treacherous husband. The parents were most likely in lockstep with their politics....they probably couldn't afford more than one ticket to DC that's why "mom" is still at home blaming her son for not protecting her family
Amen. She is blaming the wrong person and she should have told her husband if you don’t stop this insanity I’m leaving you and taking my children or threatened to get him committed. Why blame her son? What if the father with his semi automatic weapon had killed someone or shot them, no one brings a gun to a peaceful protest.
She seems the sort who never notices anything in life, in the world, until it impinges on her tiny little reality and inconveniences her.
Great point
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 The Uni-Bombers brother turned him in also. Remember that horror story? This is a matter of conscience. I was brought up, never to rat anyone out, so I understand what you are saying. Our morels are our personal conduct. Our ethics are our social conduct. 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. This whole business will have an effect on generations in that family. Let us visualize that this leads to good, since it is what it is, and it cannot be changed now. Where there is life, there is hope.
A certain emotional maturity on Jackson's part is on full display...unlike his father.
Father is a full grown adult and it's HIS choices that have left the family fractured. At least one person in the family has a moral compass and was not afraid of going against the grain by following his moral compass. Well done young man, you have nothing to feel guilty about. Life IS about the choices we make.
Well said!

I’m sorry, we’re just going to breeze right past dad saying “you know what happens to traitors”?!?! That’s a complete threat! The mom and daughters seem more angry that the son turned him in than that he was put in that freaking position in the first place!
You caught that too. Just too blind to accept dad/husband has completely lost his mind. What's even more frightening is that I still can't find a legitimate reason or motivation for why the capitol rioters committed such shameful acts on Jan 6th. Liberty and freedom? It's what they aren't saying is what's so unsettling. Not many of these "revolutionaries" have the courage to just come out and say why they're so enraged and full of anger. Speaks volumes to how truly empty these rioters truly are
A man threatens to shoot her kids and as a mom she doesn't stand up to him. Speaks volumes.
It's also hearsay. The son also said the daughters were afraid of the father, but you heard from their own mouth that was not true.
@@CDickerson Sure, on TV, in an i terview with their mother, they retracted what they said, when the event happened in private. Dad is a nutball, and always was, and he trained his family...almost
The threat to kill his family, but also the fact that this guy had the nerve to call OTHERS traitors. smh.
I don't see how the daughter can defend her father and say it was the son's fault. If my dad made a threat like that I would turn him in too.
A grown man goes to the capitol with a weapon and they mad at the son who did the right thing. Blame your father for his actions not your brother for holding him accountable.
You "love" your son but you threatened to kill him. Sounds like insanity. He still completely delusional even behind bars because he describes Jan. 6th simply as a " protest". I feel for the young man that had no other choice but to turn in his own father.
Yes, and the father saying "I did nothing wrong" when he carried a semi-automatic weapon at the capitol. Delusional. He needs to take responsibility.
Yeah, notice that the dad thinks it was all fine, just a protest and he "didn't do anything wrong", but still felt the need to threaten to murder his kids if they reported him. These MAGA morons can't even get their own delusion right in their own heads.
Crying while saying "We should be looking for a prom dress" Kinda says everything with how That Woman & her daughters are. The young man is the only sense there.
My father wasnt the best, he was an alcoholic and not the best person but at no point in time would he hurt us or threaten us. He was more then capable being a Marine Vietnam Vet with Mental health issues but never once threatened us. I cant imagine telling your son you know what happens to traitors.
That doesn’t say anything about women. Only those women.
It’s like you and I had a similar upbringing. Dad would hit the bottle, get DUIs/DWIs, but he always did his best for us as a father, never laid a finger on us, even when he was drunk. I pray for that young man. I’m glad he’s cut from a different cloth than the rest of the family
I don't understand why they would be looking at prom dresses. There's a fucking pandemic going on for 2 + years and _that_ is what they're concerned about? Daft and dumb are the only words I can think of to describe these drumpftard magats. 🙄🤦🏻♀️

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.
@@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.
@@docgiggles130 That’s hyperbolic. Presidential speeches mean very little. The government‘s ACTIONS/POLICIES are what matter. But if we’re comparing speeches, Biden’s speeches had similarities to Joseph Stalin, who killed as many as Hitler
To the son: Thank you for doing what is right and we all have parents to know that the decision you made took courage to follow through, but you are honorable to do so. It is sad that your family don't support you as much as they should. Let your guilt go even though it is hard. You have nothing to be guilty for. Like you said your father is an adult and he made a bad choice. Your strength to stand your ground is inspiring... Please continue and don't let toxicity of family get in your way.
I echo this. You may feel responsible and guilty, but he is a grown ass man. You followed your conscience and did the patriotic thing.

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
It is obvious the son has more morals and ethics than rest of his family. One of the daughters, at least, is seriously misguided in saying her brother was wrong to turn in his father.
Jackson is a young man with great integrity, who understands that there are limits to family loyalty. When a family member with extremist views commits criminal acts & endangers our democracy, he needs to be held accountable. I think the women in this family are codependent & are only thinking of themselves. They want to live in a pretend world, where their family is wholesome & good. It’s like pretending you don’t have cancer, when you’ve been diagnosed by experts.
Naw but u can go check your family member on the side like dam u when full blown snitch no loyalty
Who cares about "our democracy"
Agreed, well stated. He is a hero.
PERFECTLY said Janet tyminaki!
Totally agree. But with cancer only ur life is on the line. You can do what you want that Diagnosis. I would compare it more, maybe, to severe form of mental illness. And then helping them not take their meds, while letting them board a plane or something. Screwed up.
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.

- _"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" .
