18-year-old Capitol rioter wants to go home to his 'loving family' who drove him to D.C.

Mommy can’t help you now.

A Georgia teen charged for alleged involvement in the U.S. Capitol riot now admits he “was wrong” for his actions and hopes to spend his pretrial days with his folks, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Friday.

Bruno Cua, 18, is the youngest of over 300 people accused of having stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 in support of former President Donald Trump and has been in custody since his Feb. 5 arrest.

Lock him up, lock him up for a very long time. No forgiveness for treason and insurrection.

Treat him the same way any POC 18-year-old male would be treated.

Actually, I wish our system would treat 18-year-old POC as nicely and gently as the system is treating him.

get the opportunity to see his former "God Emperor" waddling around on a golf course, without a care in the world; least of which would be for those who rose to his violent "defense" on January 6th.

I can't remember that kid's name, last summer, whose mother drove him to a protest and he shot up the place, but he's the first one I thought of while reading this article.

Parenthood is sure different these days if that's how much sense they have.

18 year old "boys", who didn't commit even the slightest crime, were sent to fight in a foreign land and came home in a box.

Man up, you little creep!

Bruno Before: Lock all the tyrants into the Capitol and burn it to the ground.

Brief Stint in Jail

Bruno After: Just kidding--I'm not really into politics anymore, your highness. Lesson learned, I'll be heading home now, thanks!

Maybe they should treat him as a minor...mentally.

18 years old is a weird age. Too stupid to know better.
