Jackson Reffitt, the teen who reported his Trump-supporting father to authorities following the January 6 protests, is now complaining he feels “unsafe” after President Donald Trump’s pardons.
Jackson testified against his own father, Guy Reffitt, accusing him of making threats and requesting a maximum sentence.
He also accused the January 6 defendant of slowly losing himself over the years and falling “into a horrible community to find a place in this life.”
Guy was accused of being a member of The Three Percenters and “lighting the match,” which they say triggered the protests.
Despite Guy not setting foot on the Capitol, prosecutors accused him of turning the crowd “into an unstoppable force” and sought a 15-year sentence.
The Populist Times reports:
The J6 defendant was eventually found guilty of two counts of civil disorder and a single count of obstructing official proceedings. He was sentenced to 87 months in prison, a $2,000 fine, and 3 years of supervised release.
His son, who ratted him out, recently told CNN that he was flabbergasted after the latest development.
“I’m honestly flabbergasted that we’ve gotten to this point,” Jackson told CNN.
He also claimed that his father’s release made him feel concerned for his safety and forced him to take additional precautions, including owning a firearm.
“I’m terrified. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I have taken as many precautions I could,” he continued.
“I’ve picked up a gun, I’ve moved, and I’ve gotten myself away from what I thought would be a dangerous situation and staying [away from] where I thought my dad could find me or other people, people that are going to feel so validated by these actions, by this pardon.”
He also threw the whole family under the bus by accusing them of being involved in militia activity. He accused his father of calling him a traitor and saying that “traitors get shot.”
“My dad is still involved with these militias. He still talks with a martyr status. He has no change. He’s more galvanized than ever,” Jackson added. “My mom too. My sisters are waiting outside the jail cell right now.
“I know who they are and I love them, but I can’t feel safe.”
He accused his mother of exploiting his name to address crowds of supporters, adding that the audience lights up every time he is mentioned.
Ironically, he bought a firearm that his Democratic friends wish to ban, especially for young people like him, leaving them exposed to criminals with guns who do not follow gun control laws.
However, Reffitt appeared to show remorse for turning over his dad to authorities.
“I made a very, very disgusting decision to inform authorities about what he was doing, and I still feel horrible about it every day.”

Nonetheless, he laid the blame squarely on his father, saying his actions tore apart their family.
“My father’s actions coming from the Trump presidency and what he thought he was doing was right just destroyed it [my family].”
Reffitt has since received nearly $200,000 in donations for his college fund since he made headlines from the incident.

Probably lives in an HOA.
No.
He doesn't.
I prefer to see him disappear into the belly of a hungry shark. The World would be a better place with him gone.
The time to think of all this, would have been before you turned your own father in, you dumbass.
Actions have consequences. You chose poorly, live with it.
If this worthless self adsorbed POS was my son. I would forgive him. let the world know that I thought he was misguided and delusional. Then I would kick him out of my house, and cut him off from any financial support, disown him completely, then file a restraining order on him. From that point on I would watch Karma in action.
He says he does. Maybe he’s lying about that.
In any event, I hope he is able to see that there was a whole plot by disgusting government and media thugs to libel his family and tear it apart.
The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. And that’s what Liz Cheney and her merry band of thugs are all about. He believed them in the past but he doesn’t have to believe them in the future. I hope he takes the chance to learn from what happened.
The young man was well propagandized by his educators and the media, and he is the one who broke up his family, not his father.
At DU they're talking about going out and buying AR's and say it's time to start forming their own militias.
And they were serious about it. They're INSCENSED at what's going on.
That loser will have a lonely life .
Family will disregard him .
Lots of frozen turkey pot pie holidays by yourself .
this kid is just trying to get more money for himself.
he may also be in the news soon since he, himself is a loaded bomb (not thinking clearly and working himself into a frenzy) waiting to go off.
So he squealed on his old man, who got 7 1/2 years in prison for “making the mob an unstoppable force” when he wasn’t even there and FIB provocateurs with bull-horns were? Yeah, I can’t see Dad angry or anything...
“This young man needs to get some help for his mental illness.”
I believe that the education system and social media did it to him. He should still get the dog sh*t slapped out of him.
“This young man needs to get some help for his mental illness.”
I saw his family picture from before he turned his father in, and he looks like a tranny.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he murders his father with his new gun and tries to make it look like self defense.
While I pray that the family can forgive the son for what he did, father, mother and sisters should go no contact with him because HE is the dangerous one.
DISGUST!!!
Now I understand why bears sometimes eat their young.
Lol. You are quick to notice that Rodney Dangerfield has left an indelible impression on me.
I’ve been INCENSEF since at least 1990 (when I realized I’m a conservative. Methinks DU is biting off more than they can chew (if you get my drift).
Somebody buy this kid a bath towel, so he can dry his hair after a shower.
The weasel coward *should* feel unsafe.
