First Jan. 6 rioter to go on trial found guilty of all charges
AxiosSep 09, 2021
A federal jury in DC found Guy Reffitt, a member of the Texas Three Percenters militia group, guilty on all charges on Tuesday. He was the first Jan. 6 rioter to stand trial.
Reffitt was accused of unlawfully carrying a gun on the Capitol grounds, interfering with police, and obstruction of justice.
The Jan. 6 attack against the Capital was a coup attempt by supporters of former President Trump. Those who participated in the attack are insurrectionists and must be held fully accountable for their crimes.
It's absurd to persecute those who participated in the Jan. 6 protests with such ferocity. The Democrats are the real anti-Americans, demonizing patriotic citizens as "domestic terrorists."
