(49,999 posts)4. His 18 yr old son has moved out of the house.
...Reffitts son covertly recorded conversations with his father that have shown up in court filings as evidence that Reffitt came to the Capitol armed and with violent intentions.
Youll find out that I had every constitutional right to carry a weapon and take over the Congress, as we tried to do, he said in one recording, according to a transcript in court files. Jackson Reffitt, 18, has since moved out of the family home and is raising money to support himself and his schooling.
In another excerpt in court files, Guy Reffitt was blunt: I did bring a weapon on property that we own. Federal grounds or not. The law is written, but it doesnt mean its right law. The people that were around me were all carrying too.
Reffitts wife and daughters said his statements were more benign than they sound that Reffitt is notorious for his hyperbole and left the Capitol when he learned rioters had made it inside. Nicole Reffitt said she has long referred to her husband teasingly as Queenie because of his flair for the dramatic. Prosecutors have not accused him of entering the Capitol building or hurting anyone.
In their most recent filing, prosecutors added new evidence to their case against Guy Reffitt. They obtained a recording of a Jan. 10 Zoom meeting involving Reffitt and two other Three Percenters. In it, Reffitt allegedly said he helped lead the charge on the Capitol with a .40-caliber pistol at his side, at one point telling a U.S. Capitol Police officer who was firing nonlethal rounds at him, Sorry, darling. You better get a bigger damn gun.
Reffitt went on to describe how the group might be able to disable a social media companys servers by using a sniper rifle to disable the generators at a nearby Texas facility. According to court records, he said attacking the servers would make them feel it back in Washington, D.C. He added: Then they wont know were coming next time.

There is some hope for the 18 y.o. son, and I hope he stays safe.

That's gotta be a tough situation for him. Hope he isn't completely shut out of his family.
