First Jan. 6 Jury Convicts Insurrectionist

https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/03/08/guy-reffitt-trial-verdict/

"The first trial in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach ended with a guilty verdict on all counts, a victory for federal prosecutors handling one of the largest investigations in U.S. history.

Guy Reffitt was found guilty of five felonies — obstruction of an official proceeding, interfering with police in a riot, transporting a firearm for that purpose, armed trespassing and witness tampering.

Reffitt, 49, traveled to D.C. from his home in Wylie, Tex., with an AR-15-style rifle and semiautomatic handgun, and went to the Capitol in what he called “full battle rattle,” including a handgun, a helmet, body armor, radio and flex-cuffs, according to government witnesses and evidence.

“On January 6th, 2021, Guy Reffitt challenged the police at the head of a vigilante mob determined to break into the United States Capitol. He did this because he wanted to take out Congress, and an angry, energized crowd gave him his best shot,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Risa Berkower told a jury of six men and six women in closing arguments Monday.

Reffitt “lighted that crowd into an unstoppable force” that pushed through officers making a “last stand” defending the Senate Wing doors, the prosecutor said. The riot forced the evacuation of Vice President Mike Pence and lawmakers as ballot boxes holding the electoral college election results were shuttled to safety.

In conversations recorded before and after the riot played for the jury, Reffitt said he was ready to overthrow “constitutionally corrupt” lawmakers..."

Enough said.
Guilty verdict on all of the counts?

Too bad none of those counts included actual insurrection, in order for you to be honest in your assertions. Not a single person charged, let alone found guilty, of insurrection from that day. More lefttard nonsense.

Are you one of the lying scumbags who think there was no violence?
 
Good to see we're agreed that aggressors can be shot.

FWIW, I always favored sniper shots to take down terrorists. Just make sure it's recorded so no one has any questions about who was the fucking terrorist. LOL

Funny. The terrorists were the BLM/Antifa pieces of shit burning down cities, attacking courthouses, burning down police precincts, and killing countless people.

Oh, there was certainly violence. Most riots include violence, and this was no exception. And anyone who was violent should be properly charged for that violence. Ashley Babbit should have been charged for her actions too, instead of being murdered by a cop with a history of mishandling weapons.

But it wasn't an insurrection. A small riot, yes. Insurrection, no (as we can see by the many people charged, none of whom have been charged for such a crime)

Are you one of those lying scumbags who pretend that Sicknick died from being hit by a fire extinguisher?

I believe all those traitors should have been shot dead.
 
Justice was done. State's Rights. I fail to see the fucking connection between idiots in Portland and terrorists in DC.

Are you trying to say because some fucking morons set a building on fire in Portland that it's okay to overthrow the US government?

You fucking asked for links on what I was talking about, you fucking moron. I provided them to your dumb cunt of a face, and now you come back with this? What a twat.
 
It was clearly and obviously an insurrection, overseen by Trump and accomplished with the leadership of many Trumpies. No demonstrations by the protesters over police violence were a threat to the existence of America. 1-6 certainty was, and it was designed to be. Another significant difference in the police attacked the demonstrators. In the insurrection, those trying to overthrow the government attacked the police.
You cannot compare those. The demonstrations over police violence were attempting to make them act according to the constitution, honoring the rights of the people they beat and kill. The cops did the same when they were protested against. They went in with clubs, rubber bullets, shields, and gas. However, 1-6 was violence against the police. 165 of them were injured, some died. None of that happened in the demonstrations.

The fact you lack the mental capacity to discuss those links is interesting.

I remember when the right said it wasn't an insurrection because none of the fools were armed. But here we have Reffitt... and how many more like him.

Why, yes. That's the excuse the #InsurrectionOfJan6Supporters are going with. Black people angry about being shot down by cops and protesting is exactly the same as knuckledragging Trump Cultists being butthurt about losing an election so they try to overthrow the government. I'm surprised that you cannot see how similar these two things are.

I don't recall anyone ever saying such a thing.

It wasn't an insurrection. Not a single person has been charged with insurrection or anything remotely close to it.

Both sides have good people. LOL

Tell that to fat boy as he's sitting in his cell for the next decade. LOL

Guy Wesley Reffitt faces a maximum of 60 years in prison. His sentencing is set for June 8.
