Poll of the Day > The YOUNGEST Capitol Rioter SOBS and BEGS Judge to give him ANOTHER CHANCE!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

The youngest capitol rioter, 18 y/o Bruno Joseph Cua is apparently sobbing UNCONTROLLABLY according to his parents who says he just wants to go home!!

The Georgia kid sent a letter to US District Judge, Randolph D. Moss "I just want to go home to my Mom and Dad. I am truly sorry"

He was busted on February 5 and later denied a bond a week later leaving him jailed for a month

He has appealed the initial bond denial and is the youngest person charged inthe insurrection among 300 facing serious consequences on the riot that left 5 dead

He managed to get into the Senate Chambers, one of the few rioteres to do so as prosecutors said he assaulted a federal officer while trying to reach the senate floor

He is also accused of obstructing an official proceeding before Congress that could lead to 20 YEARS in prison

He wrote in the letter "All i ask is that you please allow me to be reunited with my loving family so we can figure out the next steps before i stand trial"

He entered a not guilty plea in a oklahoma jail last week and his trial is set for may 10

His lawyers argued that he is an impressionable young teen who was arrested while still attending online high school but judge noted the violent rhetoric in his digital past where a social media post of his said "We didn't attack american people. We attacked the swamp rats."

In a typo error letter, he continued "Given how inappropriate my social media activity was, i truly understand your worries, and i appreciate you taking the time to really consider the options. My posts were foolish, unnecessary and untrue that's not who i am or ever want to be. I have completely comprehened a very painful! lesson over the last month in jail, including over 2 weeks in isolation. We never would have gone to Washington if we would have known things would have turned violent"

Now he says he is a changed kid after his stint in prison and said "I will never be the same person, jail has had its full effect me. i am completely humbled, deeply remourseful and regretful. After all, thats what jail is for right? Teaching people a lesson. Lesson fully received, your Honour".

Should this kid's life be destroyed?

Adult voluntarily commits crime. Seems like a good reason for prison.

Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions...

He's a dangerous terrorist and a traitor, lock him up!

He probably would have had better luck demonstrating remorse to a judge if he hadn't bragged about trespassing there on social media and tried to glorify the thing. Not that I expect his sentence to be anything absurd, given how many other people are also being charged.

Sobbing uncontrollably simply reinforces the fact of what he is so dangerously lacking.

He's only sorry that he got caught.

I know its an unpopular opinion but I dont care if he was 17, he committed a crime he should do the time.

---

He should pay for any serious (i.e. violent) crimes he may have committed, not clear if he did or just got caught up in group blame..(not sure, i'd have to look into it better) But all the pompous "official proceeding" type nonsense.. No way. Especially given that most of the thugs from over the summer got away with way worse.

His life isn't ruined. He'll spend a couple years in jail at most and struggle for a while afterward due to his record, but if he's actually committed to growing from this and becoming a better person, he'll be able to move past it. That's a reasonable consequence, given the severity of what he did.

Already acquitted. Not because those voting to accquit him felt he was innocent, mind you, but acquitted nonetheless because that's what the walking sacks of smegma that comprise his party of choice felt would be best for their own political careers. What a great system that's totally not broken at all.

For off they stormed the Capitol for all the wrong reasons but as my father always says if you believe in something you need to see it through good or bad so these idiots are now crying wolf because they thought they would be let off.

America is in a state of decline across the board yet these fools stormed the Capitol because they believe they're losing their privilege and supremacy status.

More like a stupid opinion, for any number of reasons. Not to mention hypocritical.

"The severity of what he did"? >_> Technically what he did was trespass in a government building, something we've seen countless people do in recent years, almost none of whom were punished in the past for doing so. Let's not pretend this was more than it was. He broke a law, but there was no "severity" involved and if he'd been part of another protest group he probably wouldn't have had been charged at all.

...and he wasn't put on trial because people believed he had broken any law, but because they had objected to his existence and had sought to have him impeached before he even took office. In fact, the decision to vote against the proceedings was less partisan than to vote for it.

That's really all the information we need. If he is confident enough to enter a not guilty plea, then he can stand trial for it like an adult. No remorse. Little piss baby can cry for his mommy all he wants.

Because despite them being old enough to be licensed to drive around a 2000 ton vehicle which has the ability to take lives, people still treat 16 and 17-year-olds like they are children incapable of independent thought and not like they're about to enter legal adulthood.

There was evidence. The politicians and courts simply disregarded it. The news outlets kept saying the matter was resolved but couldn't point to any event where a resolution to the issue was reached. There were reports of mail-in ballots being left in dumpsters, election observers not being allowed to observe, postal workers being told to change the postmarks, and the question remains whether the change of rules to allow for mail-in ballots followed the process in the constitution for making those changes. There was no investigation into these matters. There were no trials where the evidence was examined. The election results were disputed despite the refusal of politicians to recognize the dispute.

Courts have thrown them all out because it's illegal to lie in court and they have no case or evidence. Republican courts too.

There has been at least 30 court cases. Every time nothing substantial is brought up because it's illegal to lie in court and there is no evidence.

This is incorrect. The courts disregarded the claim in two ways. 1) Standing, the party filing the claim was not the injured party. 2) Latches, they didn't file at the correct time due to being either too early (prior to the election the injury had yet to occur) or too late (should have filed before the election). None of the cases were dismissed on merit, which is what you are describing.

Because those cases were dismissed for other reasons before any evidence was examined.

Yeah uhuh all 30 times because you can totally verify that

Courts hate Trump of course and he can't afford a good lawyer

I don't know the exact detail or where the number 30 came from. What I have heard was that Trump's legal team was only involved in 4 cases and there were several cases filed by other parties.

---

Think people who were inclined to believe the lies are now enlightened, and see that politicians dont face the same consequences as those who choose to believe their lies?

Sometimes we learn most from our losses.

---

Maybe this a tough pill to swallow for Trump supporters to understand but he lost. Win at least one court case or provide irrefutable evidence of tampering then you might have something. Trump lost all his court cases for fraudulent election, lost the primary election, lost the popular vote, then lost again in the recount.

Its scary how Trump followers cant accept that Trump lies just like any other politician.

Wears a MAGA hat then gets mad when the government starts working on it by dealing with the rioters?

Sucks bro but next time use your fucking head.

Imagine actually thinking Trump won or had the election stolen from him. Get a fucking grip, he was a shit president and nobody in their right mind voted for him.

no no no, only people in the "right" mind voted for him.

Finally off work I can take this on.

You seem to fundamentally misunderstand the legal system of the US. Standing is important, so it isn't that a claim is disregarded due to standing. They are just told to properly file their complaint.

No complaints were "disregarded" due to laches. While there was probably more I only recall two cases where it came up. The PA one were a legislator who passed an expansion of voting tried to sue calling the bill he voted on unconstitutional (state constitution) and the Texas drive through voting where the judge suggested they stop. None of those cases were about fraudulent activity and they suggested there was no problem with the voters or the votes themselves they were about process and the relief requested disenfranchising thousands/millions of people was not reasonable. There is no court in the country that would grant the relief that was requested. They can still bring their lawsuits about the issues they claim to have and have those addressed going forward, they just weren't allowed to harm people who did nothing wrong.

SKARDAVNELNATE posted...

There was evidence.

At this time there remains zero evidence anyone has provided. There are claims and rumors but no evidence has been made manifest.

The politicians and courts simply disregarded it.

Incorrect some politicians helped with a terrorist attack that attempted to overthrow our government. Courts never heard the issues you claims since no lawyer would be willing to be disbarred over nonsense.

The news outlets kept saying the matter was resolved but couldn't point to any event where a resolution to the issue was reached.
Multiple claims were debunked.

There were reports of mail-in ballots being left in dumpsters,

Incorrect, there was rumors of ballots left in dumpsters. In 2020 with almost everyone carrying a camera on their phones there was no photographic evidence provided. No one sat in front of a dumpster calling police, their local republican party offices, or whoever the fuck else they could have called to get it taken care of. NO REPORTS WERE MADE. What we had was rumors on the internet. I recall one of the press conferences mentioning the dumpster claims but saying they couldn't find anything because all the tips were too vague. Think it might have been one of the NV conferences?

election observers not being allowed to observe,

This is blatantly false, there is that very famous court exchange where a judge presses a lawyer hard with his status in the bar and the lawyer is forced to admit there were observers there before the judge asks "then what is your problem?"

postal workers being told to change the postmarks,

This was thoroughly debunked, one person put himself on record postal inspectors looked into it (federal law enforcement) said he recanted. Dude said he didn't and would release more the next day and I never heard anything else from him.

and the question remains whether the change of rules to allow for mail-in ballots followed the process in the constitution for making those changes.
Basically every state made changes yet the focus was only on the states Trump thought he should have won. This is a sham argument that is trying to challenge results just because people didn't pick their guy. Even if the expansions were there is no court in this country where ballots would be thrown out over it. You just stop it going forward. It's completely unreasonable to throw out the ballots of people who followed the rules because you want to overturn the election. Those are not examples of fraud and are not examples of an "election being stolen" those were voters who followed the rules and by all reasonable belief would have followed whatever rules were in place at the time.

There was no investigation into these matters.
I mentioned at least two cases were it was. I would actually need proof from you to be able to believe no investigation occurred
.
There were no trials where the evidence was examined.
Not true at all. Only the standing cases were thrown out without arguments being heard.

The election results were disputed despite the refusal of politicians to recognize the dispute.
The election results were disputed despite there being no reason to call it into question. People were geared up to call the election fraudulent before we even got into it. Hell your god king Trump even tried to sabotage the USPS going into it.

I don't expect you to care about this because you have clearly demonstrated that you are not willing to engage in reasoned discussion, but in the off chance there exists anyone who sees your nonsense and thinks it has merit you should not go unchallenged. Everything you said was a lie.

The idea that fraud occurred and stole the election from Trump is, with all available evidence, a lie. A lie that resulted in a terrorist attack I would have never believed possible when I woke up on Jan 6th.

Well to be fair with the size of the country there is definitely some form of voter fraud occurring when voter ID's aren't required. No way to prove it and definitely no evidence for the Trump claims.

We seriously need voter IDs though. Mail in ballots should only be used for citizens who are out of country too.
