What made a man who the good parts of American society feel he was a victim?
There was enough money in that family for his daughter to have a smart phone ..."His son told authorities Reffitt warned him not to report him to the authorities or he would “do what he had to do,” according to the affidavit. While Reffitt’s daughter was on the phone with friends, he told her that if she betrayed the family, he would “put a bullet through” her phone."https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/wylie-man-believed-to-be-member-of-militia-extremist-group-arrested-in-connection-to-us-capitol-attack/287-175a0f96-dd27-4c29-93e0-657cb1d44d87
