 Teen Who Turned in Rioter Dad: He ‘Absolutely’ Deserves His Long Sentence

Teen Who Turned in Rioter Dad: He ‘Absolutely’ Deserves His Long Sentence

The teen who turned his dad in for participating in the Capitol riot said his father “absolutely” deserved to get the longest prison sentence yet and will hopefully be rehabilitated in prison. “I haven’t been happy about this whole situation...but to say I’m surprised would be a lie,” Jackson Reffitt told CNN. “Everything my dad did—he’s his own person. And his action has consequences.” Guy Reffitt was sentenced to more than seven years in prison on Monday for bringing a loaded gun to the riot, where he threatened House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. When he returned home, he threatened to shoot his kids if they said anything but Jackson still tipped off the FBI. He told CNN his father was used as a “puppet” for Trump, and that he agreed with his sister Peyton when she said Monday that Trump deserves “life in prison” for manipulating thousands of people for political gain.

 Trump Supporters descend on Mar A Lago to protest FBI raid


Donald Trump Jr. took to Twitter to criticize the Department of Justice (DOJ) under President Biden, accusing it of targeting political enemies, similar to the actions of third-world countries. Trump Jr.'s remarks came as his family tried to portray a search of Mar-a-Lago as part of a Democratic effort to prevent Donald Trump from winning another term in 2024.

The search in question was related to the former president taking classified documents from the White House to his residence in Florida after his presidency ended. The National Archives and Records Administration discovered classified material in 15 boxes at the residence, leading to an investigation by the DOJ.

Representative Carolyn B. Maloney of New York, the Chairwoman of the investigation, said that former presidents have a duty to protect America's national security and that allegations of mishandling classified information should be scrutinized. However, Trump and his allies have accused the Biden administration of instigating the search, despite the fact that FBI Director Christopher Wray was appointed by Trump and previously worked in a Republican-led Justice Department.

Eric Trump stated that the boxes containing documents were moved from the White House on Inauguration Day, along with other items, and that they ended up at Mar-a-Lago. The Trump family has criticized the unannounced search, with Donald Trump referring to the raid as unnecessary and inappropriate.

Federal law prohibits the removal of classified documents to unauthorized locations and the mishandling of such records, with penalties of up to five years in prison. Although Trump could argue that he had the authority to declassify information as president, the removal of documents to his residence after his presidency ended could still be considered a violation of federal law.

 Protesters call for accountability in police shooting death of Jayland Walker

Protesters call for accountability in police shooting death of Jayland Walker

On Saturday, a large group of demonstrators gathered to protest the shooting death of Jayland Walker by Akron Police officers. Despite the beautiful weather, several hundred people marched between Second Baptist Church and the Akron Police Department, calling for accountability and transparency from the city and police department. The group demanded justice, stating that they would rather be at the pool on such a nice day but felt compelled to march because justice demands balance and equality. Signs and chants echoed their call for transparency and accountability.

The 25-year-old was killed in the early hours of Monday morning after a series of events that unfolded in less than five minutes. Officers tried to pull over Walker’s vehicle on Tallmadge Avenue in Akron's North Hill neighborhood around 12:30 a.m. Monday, but the car did not stop and led officers on a short pursuit. Within a few seconds of being on Route 8, officers heard a gunshot or multiple gunshots coming from Walker’s vehicle. Officers chased Walker on Route 8 and I-77, where he exited into the Firestone Park Area, before getting out of the car and running. The vehicle coasted into Firestone Christian Church while Walker ran through a grassy area and into a parking lot at Bridgestone. Officers opened fire, claiming Walker posed a deadly threat to them. The preliminary autopsy report showed more than 60 gunshot wounds on Walker’s body.


Protests have taken place in front of the Akron Police headquarters every day since Wednesday, causing periodic street closures and business shutdowns. On Thursday, the city canceled its annual Independence Day weekend event Rib, White and Blue. Mayor Dan Horrigan stated, “It’s not the time for a city-led celebration.” The Mayor and Akron Police Chief Steve Mylett will hold a press conference on Sunday at 1 p.m. to release more details and footage from the incident. Akron now requires the release of body camera footage within seven days of police use of force events that result in death or serious injury. The investigation has been turned over to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations.
