A teenage girl testified against her father in court after her brother turned him in to the FBI over his role in the Capitol insurrection

An alleged Three Percenter, who is accused of breaching the Capitol, will remain in jail awaiting his trial after his own family members gave officials information leading to his arrest, CNN reported Monday.

Guy Reffitt, a Texas husband and father, drove to Washington, DC, to attend the January 6 pro-Trump rally armed with an AR-15 rifle and pistol, threatened his family members, boasted about his participation, and bragged to fellow militia members that the siege was just "the beginning," according to court documents.

Days after returning from his trip to the nation's capital, Reffitt told his children he knew the FBI was "watching him." On January 11 he told his 18-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter he had to "erase everything," referring to video evidence of his attendance, legal records said.

Reffitt told his son, Jackson, that if he crossed the line and reported his father to the police, Reffitt would have no option but to "do what he had to do," Jackson told investigators. When Jackson asked his father if he was threatening him, Reffitt reportedly responded by saying, "don't put words in my mouth," the affidavit said.

1. Those brave kids. I hope they have other family members

that can help them out and protect them.

[Grokenstein]

2. Never let that rotten bastard near those children ever again.

I mean, ideally, never let that rotten bastard out of his cell ever again, but we know how things work...

[JohnnyRingo]

3. My kids may not like everything I do, but...

...they would never turn me in or testify against me. And neither would I to them. Never.

My point is that we have love and devotion to no end in my family. These people have cultivated a dysfunctional family unit. If these kids didn't resent their father for other serious reasons they could have walked and never spoken to him again.

[stopdiggin]

4. at least the kids recognize father as a wingnut

rather than (the more common) indoctrination. On the other hand -- imagine how painful this childhood must be. Daddy is a di*khead (and a bit of a nutcase). Can't wait for family vacation!

(With full apologies to persons, and families, dealing with genuine mental illness issues. My opinion -- being a 'proud patriotic insurrectionist' does not get you a pass here.)

[Demobrat]

5. I hope those kids have somewhere to go

where their father can’t find or get to them. They are in danger.

[pazzyanne]

6. Maybe the kids are candidates for a witness protection program?

I certainly hope there is some plan in place to protect the kids! What kind of father treatens to kill his own children? I know - a nutjob. So sad!

7. Their father is a deeply disturbed man and completely delusional.

These kids were caught between a rock and a hard place. This guy went to the rally with an assault rifle, if I read this correctly. There is a deep resistance against turning in your family members for offenses, but how would they feel for the rest of their lives, if he killed innocent people, and they might have prevented it?

In the end, what they did protected their father from himself. He was on the verge of doing much worse, and both he and his family would have suffered the consequences.

8. Another family destroyed by right-wing dogma and tRump......

with terrible ripple effects into their extended family, friends and work associates.

And, the whole protest and riot escapade was all for naught......

[IronLionZion]

9. Sounds like he threatened to shoot his kids

that should add some charges.

The kids did the right thing turning him in.

[BradAllison]

10. Meal Team 6 specialist. (n/m)

[Paladin]

11. Well done, Reffitt children.

I hope other families exhibit the same bravery and principles.

[Javaman]

12. boy, their holidays are going to be awkward.

good on the kids for turning in this treasonous piece of shit.

[brooklynite]

13. That 4th of July BBQ President Biden promised is going to be awkward...
