Another "Three Percenter" Bites the Dust.....Guy Reffitt




Prosecutors have charged a fourth Capitol riot defendant with a firearms violation

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/january-6-capitol-riot-firearm-guy-reffitt/

A fourth Capitol riot defendant was charged Thursday with firearms violations in connection with the January 6 attack. The new charges add weight to claims that rioters used weapons during the mob violence and come after dozens of riot defendants have already been charged with wielding other "deadly or dangerous" weapons.


The defendant, Guy Reffitt, of Wylie, Texas, was charged with two new crimes in a superseding indictment Thursday, which alleged that he transported a rifle and a semi-automatic handgun to D.C. and that he carried the semi-automatic handgun while on U.S. Capitol grounds January 6.

Reffitt had already been facing three other charges for alleged obstruction of an official proceeding, entering and remaining in a restricted area and obstruction of justice. In the original affidavit filed when he was arrested in January, prosecutors said Reffitt had told his family that he'd brought his gun to D.C. and had "stormed the Capitol," but they hadn't previously charged him with a firearms violation.

Reffitt's wife told prosecutors he is a member of a "Three Percenters" militia — a group that likens present-day U.S. government to the oppression of British authorities during the Revolutionary war — and in an April court filing, the government said that Reffitt had spoken over Zoom with two other Three Percenter militia members on January 10, and told them he had been carrying a .40 firearm on his side January 6.

‘Traitors Get Shot,' Wylie Man Who Was at Capitol Riot Threatened to Kill His Family: FBI

https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/wylie-man-who-was-at-capitol-riot-threatened-to-kill-his-family-fbi-says/2530571/

FBI complaint says man told his son, daughter, "if you turn me in you're a traitor and you know what happens to traitors -- traitors get shot

The FBI has arrested a Wylie man who is accused of threatening to kill his own family members if they turned him in for participating in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Guy Reffitt was arrested Saturday and the FBI found two firearms in his house which he allegedly took with him to Washington. He is charged with unlawful entry for being at the U.S. Capitol and obstruction of justice for threatening his family to prevent them from talking. According to a criminal complaint, Reffitt is a member of a militia extremist group and told his family he went to the Capitol to “protect the country.”

The FBI complaint included seven still photographs taken from Reuters video and broadcast on FOX News that investigators said showed Reffitt outside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 flushing his eyes with water while wearing a tactical vest and a black helmet. Investigators said they compared those photos with his Texas driver's license photo to verify his identity.

And he threatened his family if they spoke.

Hopefully he'll get a life in prison.
