(NEXSTAR) – The FBI says they have more than just cellphone records and social media photos to prove that Bryan Betancur was at the Capitol riot on January 6.

Betancur – who is identified by media outlets as a confessed white supremacist – was tracked on his ankle monitor entering restricted Capitol grounds, according to an affidavit from the United States Justice Department.

According to the special agent’s sworn statements, Betancur has previously told authorities that he is a member of white supremacy groups and has previously considered homicidal acts.

15. Ty, Blue Owl!

Something people do not understand: home monitoring is iffy at best.

[Bluethroughu]

2. Prison

[SheltieLover]

16. Yes!

3. Nobody ever said these assholes were smart, but entering a restricted area

while wearing an ankle monitor is a special kind of stupid.

[SheltieLover]

17. It sure is, TVO!

Something most folks do not realize: home monitoring is only as effective as the people doing the monitoring.

I've seen it at a previous job, which I left very quickly for just this reason!

4. the stupid is strong

very strong

[dutch777]

11. It is amazing isn't it!?!?!? Unfortunately they won't be that stupid next time...

...so folks better be ready next time. They may actually organize themselves and not stream it all live.

[SheltieLover]

18. It sure is!

[Aristus]

5. ...

[SheltieLover]

19. Agreed!

Home monitoring is hardly fail safe. It is only as good as the people doing the monitoring!

[Cha]

6. Ankle monitor.. so not at home

under house arrest?

Good Grief.. the Sludge!

[SheltieLover]

21. Right!

Most folks do not realize how iffy home monitoring is!! It is only as effective as the people are who are tasked with watching the computer screen. Mostly minimum wage workers who are overburdened with multi tasking!

Saw it 1st hand at a job I had briefly. I got out of that plpace quickly for precisely this reason!

Violent offenders should never be released, pending triall!

[Cha]

28. Glad you got outta

there fast! Doesn't sound like the job for you, Sheltie.

What I know about it is from watching shows on amazon & netflix.

[SheltieLover]

30. Mahalo, Cha!

It wasn't my job to do the monitoring, but noticed a monitor blinking RED & asked.

I was shocked that someone was not watching that screen constantly.

Workers were too busy to notice it!

I was like hell no! Time to go.

Cripes!

[Ms. Toad]

34. Except that you don't know they are violent offenders until AFTER the trial.

That whole innocent until proven guilty thing.

7. Only the finest people, eh?

Hell, I've know guys wearing government-issue Rolexes that got locked up for sneaking out of their house to get cigarettes.

KY.......

22. Most folks do not realize home monitoring is very iffy!

It is only as effective as the people doing the monitoring, mostly minimum wage workers overburdened with multi tasking.

Saw this at a job I had. Got out of there quickly! Yikes!

8. Article says he had permission to go to DC to distribute bibles.

Obviously, he wasn't the sharpest spoon in his rocket surgery class.

[BlueNProud]

13. The authorities that gave him permission are no MENSA candidates either

yeah ok distributing Bibles on a random Wednesday in DC.

[uponit7771]

14. +1

[SheltieLover]

31. Right!

Never should have been out of jail imo.

[Ms. Toad]

36. This is the real problem. n/t

[SheltieLover]

23. I guess not!

Covidiot!

[struggle4progress]

9. "Whose house? My house!" *smash*

[SheltieLover]

24. Exactly!

[TheBlackAdder]

10. Betancur told authorities he is a member of white supremacy groups & considered homicidal acts.

.

The guy gave authorities an engraved invitation.

What fucking else to they need?

.

[SheltieLover]

25. Ikr!

The sense of privilege & entitlement is surreal!

[lpbk2713]

12. Are they ALL this stupid?

From other stories I have read it looks like they wanted to get caught.

[BlueIdaho]

20. Most of them are

So says a former cop I know.

[SheltieLover]

27. Isn't it amazing they were free, not in jail already?

[BlueIdaho]

29. The jails are full so...

The wankers are kicked loose with an ankle monitor. Something tells me that is about to end for this idiot. Re-offending means he’s likely to sit in a cell until he’s sentenced for this new crime. Then it’s off to prison.

[SheltieLover]

32. They should never let violent offenders out pending trial imo.

[BlueIdaho]

33. I totally agree!

[SheltieLover]

35. I live in an area where judges do this all the time!

Crime is literally the worst in the nation, last I looked.

Covid isolation is no different for me, except that I wear a mask in grocery store. Too dangerous to go anywhere.

No, I am neither paranoid nor delusional.

[SheltieLover]

26. It seems so from pix I've seen & articles read

Quite a sense of entitlement & privilege.
