"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.

Called it. Those fucking morons are going to get hosed because Trump refused to pardon them for their crimes.

Like most of the Insurrectionists, Guy Reffitt obviously has "issues". In his case, so severe even his own family was afraid of the fucking nutjob and turned him in.


All his women are hot and ready to trot with the fat boy militia terrorist is off to prison for several years.

The asshole faces up to 20 years on the obstruction charge alone.

All those who go to trial are going down hard. Plea deals by flipping on terrorists can turn 20 years to life into 10-15, out in 7.

I have to live them I'm not required to respect them. Plus I know how some verdicts are reached.

How do you believe this one was reached?

I think this guy should get mandatory mental health counseling plus a year.

Great news.

Now the bastard will go away for 5 months

This is an easy one. Through voir dire you get the people who buy the "insurrection" nonsense and seat them on the jury.

Nope. He'll get a minimum of two years, more likely four or five.

I hope so. I'm not holding out hope.

You dont think the defense was trying to do the opposite?

And then murder the entire family? Agreed he is more deserving of mental health care than punishment, but our nation just imprisons the whack jobs along with the criminals. There's little support for treatment.

Without treatment, he won't change. He'll be the same, if not worse, when he gets out. He'll always be a danger to his family until he changes.

We can be thankful Kyle Rittenhouse saved the expense of a trial and just put down his attackers.

So you agree that if I see someone on the streets who is a scumbag then I can shoot them down? Do I have to provoke them first by strutting around like a big, tough militia man or may I just assume they're pedos by their looks?


FWIW, I do truly believe in shooting down all fucking scumbags, traitors and others who seek to do harm to innocent Americans. Shooting them in the back is fine with me. Hanging too. It's usually best to let the law handle it, but after Rittenhouse, street justice is okay too.

IF THEY ATTACK YOU... YES YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO SHOOT THEM... SO YOU AGREE LEFTIST LIBERALS SHOULD BE SHOT... NICE TO KNOW

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
