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.

Wait until your father gets home...
DemocRATs would hang their own grandmas. Real bass turds.
This young man will be fine, if he disappears into the jungles of Thailand and goes technologically dark for the next 30 years.
Thanksgiving is going to be awkward.
The turkey will get carved up..............
Honestly, I thought this story was just a meme. If it’s real, it’s even better.
So what. Learn to live with fear like most other folks do.
If his mother and sisters are waiting for his dad outside the jail, I’d say it was not the dad that tore the family apart. This young man needs to get some help for his mental illness.
The level of projection, paranoia and cognitive dissonance Mr./Ms. Jackson displays suggests he/she/it might be safer institutionalized.
The kid should go to Cuber and surrender himself at the gates to Gitmo’.
“I’ve got a lotta problems with you people. And now, you’re gonna hear about it!”
Ha Ha
FAFO.
I can imagine its difficult having a gay son.
What are the chances he ever sees his father again?
Like Colonel Kurtz from “Apocalypse Now”.
This punk is a boil on the body of humanity, in need of a good lancing....
May he end up like Judas.
He better flee to China.
