Bruno Joseph Cua, the Milton 18-year-old charged in connection with the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, wants to go home to his parents.

In a letter to U.S. District Court Judge Randolph D. Moss on Thursday, Cua begged to be reunited with his family as he awaits trial, promising “not to step one foot out of line.” Cua has been in custody since his arrest on Feb. 5, and has appealed an earlier court ruling denying him bond.

“I will never be the same person, jail has had its full effect me (sic), I am completely humbled, deeply remoursefull (sic) and regretful!” Cua wrote. “After all, thats (sic) what jail is for right? Teaching people a lesson? Lesson fully received, your Honor.”

Cua is the youngest of the more than 300 supporters of former President Donald Trump accused in the breach of the Capitol and, among Georgians charged, faces the most serious crimes. He is among just a handful of rioters who gained access to either the House or Senate chambers.

Prosecutors allege that Cua assaulted a federal officer while fighting his way to the Senate floor. He was photographed twirling a baton in multiple locations throughout the Capitol, joining the lawless mob that disrupted the counting of electoral college votes certifying the election of President Joe Biden. The charge for obstructing an official proceeding before Congress is punishable by up to 20 years, according to Cua’s attorneys.

[Marcuse]

2. Son, you have not yet begun to suffer.

3. What is is with these simpletons driving their children

across state lines to commit a crime? Examples need to be made of all of them so no parent is ever tempted to help their child commit murder/insurrection again.

4. If you're going to do the crime, you've got to give up the whine.

"I want my mooooooommmmmy."

5. Dumbass.

Does he really think this will get him out of a long prison sentence?

Lock him up for 20 years and then we’ll see if he’s a better man at 38 than he is now.

7. And while he's there.......

make sure he takes advantage of the free education classes that are offered...... you know, like things he missed in high school English.....

6. So he was 14 when Trump became President.

With parental re-enforcement, I can understand that an 18 YO could become a willing combatant to "take back the election for Donald Trump. And there are a lot of Bruno Cuas in this country today.

8. Better stick to skate boarding.

It's a lot less expensive in the long run.

Insurrection just isn't working out for you.

Dumbass.

9. Had they gotten their way, would he still be so repentant?

I don't think so. He'd be looking for promotion.

10. Make him state in open court that the election was not stolen. Otherwise no parole

11. Dear dog, these people are entitled ignorant assholes

“Given how innaproprite (sic) my social media activity was, I truly understand your worries,” Cua wrote. “I am not a danger to anyone, and I will absolutely never act on what I said.”

“I have completely lost those aggressive feelings and moved on from the entire politcal (sic) idea,” he added a few sentences later. “I was wrong.”

Prosecutors have objected to Cua’s release to his parents’ custody because it was his parents, Joseph and Alise Cua, who drove with him to Washington to attend former President Trump’s “Save America” rally.

“We never would have gone to Washington if we would have know things would have turned violent,” the parents said in a letter submitted to Moss. “We wish so much that we would not have agreed to let him get a closer look at what was unfolding at the Capitol, but we honestly had no thought that Bruno would ever get involved.”
