White Christian Family Forcibly Removed from Home at Gun Point, Handcuffed and Locked in Van After FBI Allegedly “Goaded” 15-Year-Old Son into Posting Controversial Memes

The Rufini family’s peaceful life was shattered when a late-night FBI operation saw them hauled at gunpoint from their home and detained in a van while agents combed their house for evidence of what was presumed to be a potential violent plot by their 15-year-old son, who was a volunteer firefighter and an altar boy, American Greatness reported.

Jeremiah Rufini, the father, detailed their plight in a now-unavailable GiveSendGo fundraising page, illustrating the profound impact of this investigation on their family life and finances.

According to the unpublished fundraising page, the Rufinis had been grappling with unexpected legal fees resulting from an “aggressive investigation” into their son, who was convicted on a minor misdemeanor and placed on juvenile probation for breach of peace.

The word “White” does not appear in the title of the linked article or in the article itself, for that matter. It is about persecution of a traditionalist Catholic family. Curious to why you felt the need to add it.

Because White Christians are under attack by the feds.

The CCP is sending special forces into the United States across the southern border. Islamist terrorists are also coming across southern border.

The Biden administration and the intelligence services will soon have massive amounts of American blood on their hands due to terrorism, but, also, so do elected Republican political leaders because they are not daily sounding the alarm of the peril the nation faces through the border.

Adding money to some bill to stop the emergency at the border? Such stupididy plays right into the hands of the democrats. What Biden is doing is illegal and highly unconstitutional already; enforcing the law does not require a supplemental bill attached to another bill.

So if the Republicans refuse to pass a bill, the democrats will claim the border crisis belongs to the Republicans.

...and by everyone else also. It’s the only acceptable form of discrimination. We need to be as vocal and “offended” as everyone else if we don’t want to invite more.

The USA is going bankrupt. Like all empires and highly centralized governments, the expense of pursuing endless enemies, both at home and abroad, (and paying-off one's cronies) always ends in a worthless currency and tyranny.

When that happens and people are searching for answers to the chaos, let's hope Americans still remember what the Constitution is

As usual, there’s a lot more going on here, than what the headline indicates.
This is a messed up family, to say the least.

White or ???

The anti-racism trope is one of many. In this case their offence is they oppose killing babies.

My question is at what point do you say “screw it, I’m fighting back”. They’re criminals with badges. Complying with criminals never ends well..

A copy of the FBI affidavit may be seen here.

https://roddreher.substack.com/p/why-i-dont-support-the-rufini-family

RD is mostly persona non grata here, but he posted Tthe affidavit. I am not saying that everything that the FBI says is true.

Jeremiah Ruffini, the boy’s father, has been convicted of kidnapping, robbery, and burglary. Perhaps he is many years reformed but he is not supposed to live in a house with firearms. The FBI claims he does albeit not his own guns.

The boy did not say merely hateful things, but spoke of committing violence.

The part about him dropping a note saying, “It’s okay to be white,” is laughable, BS. It does not point to criminal intent, let alone constitute a crime.

Yesterday I posted about the FBI arresting a young woman in Puerto Rico making death threats against the people of Uvalde Texas. She also did this before the school shooting happened while she lived there, and Texas, not the feds, prosecuted her.

So sometimes young people really do make threats. Find your own copy of the affidavit if you don’t like my link..

We rightly criticize the FBI for blowing reports about the Parkland shooter. And we know they have set up disaffected, disturbed young people.

I’m waiting for more facts. Right now it’s he said, they said, they having the vast resources of the federal government.

But I am still waiting.

How many black families have you heard of being raided over BLM memes? You may not like to hear it, but white America is under assault. From Hollywood to TV commercials to corporations, white Americans are being systematically erased. Perhaps the use of ‘white’ in the title was unnecessary, but I understand the sentiment.
