‘Baby’ rioter: I wanna go home
Jailed teen: I’ll be good
A Georgia 18-year-old charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot told a judge he’ll be a good boy if he’s allowed to go home to Mommy and Daddy.
Bruno Joseph Cua, who’s been in federal custody since his Feb. 5 arrest for his alleged role in the attack on the Halls of Congress, wrote a letter to US District Court Judge Randolph D. Moss Thursday begging to be sent home while he awaits trial, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
“I will ever be the same person, jail has had its full effect me [sic]. I am completely humbled, deeply remoursefull [sic] and regretful!” he wrote. “After all, thats [sic] what jail is for right? Teaching people a lesson? Lesson fully received, your Honor.”
The feds charged Cua, of Milton, Ga., with assault on a federal officer, civil disorder and several other crimes, including entering the floor of the Senate, according to the criminal complaint. Cua was spotted in a video posted by The New Yorker magazine of the siege, the complaint said.
“Yes, for everyone asking, I stormed the capital [sic] with hundreds of thousands of patriots,” Cua posted on his since-deleted Instagram account. “What happened was unbelievable,” he continued. “Yes, we physically fought our way in.”
“Given how innaproprite [sic] my social media activity was, I truly understand your worries,” Cua wrote to the judge. “I am not a danger to anyone, and I will absolutely never act on what I said.”
