Earlier this week, Jan. 6 insurrectionist Josh Pruitt appeared on CNN and indicated he would storm the Capitol again.

Now, federal prosecutors are seeking to revoke Pruitt's pretrial release and lock him up, pointing to his nationally televised statements, as well as numerous curfew violations and threats he's allegedly made against his ex-girlfriend and others.

Pruitt, a member of the Proud Boys who was living in DC at the time of the insurrection, has a long rap sheet, including 19 prior arrests and eight convictions, WUSA Channel 9 reported Friday.

1. So with this asshat's record, why the hell was he not in jail? There is something seriously wrong

with the Justice system.

12. He's only a lad.

You really can’t blame him.
Society made him.
He’s underprivileged and abused,
Perhaps a little bit confused.

18. Nicely Done!

That first album was unbelievable!

15. The lyrics to "Gee Officer Krupke" from West Side Story come to mind

"But ossifer! You can't throw this lovely young lad in the hoosegow. He goes to church every Sunday and helps little old ladies across the street!"

"Maybe so, but he also committed fifteen counts of attempted murder and 29 counts of assault by hitting Capitol Police officers in the head with fire extinguishers."

"Attempted murder? Are you kidding? It's not like he killed someone."

2. He's unbelievably smart! Almost Trumplike intelligence!

3. It's disheartening to see our judicial system so broken.

4. The most shocking thing in this story is that he had a girlfriend.

5. A Nazi thug in other words....

The early Nazi party was full of thugs and criminals like this jackass.

6. Why am I unsurprised

That a career criminal would want to commit the same crime over again?

7. How is he

not sitting in jail with all these convictions.

9. Hey, Josh Pruitt, make sure your car taillights are working correctly...

Or that you don't have an air freshener hanging from your rear view mirror...


Oh, wait.

10. And those already sentenced to lenient sentenced because they were supposedly

"remorseful" and so sorry but then they post on social media and give interviews proving they lied should be rearrested and charged with lying under oath. The last I heard that was a crime. It should be a bigger crime to do it in this situation in federal court.

11. I'm reading the article, and it gets worse with every paragraph!

A few highlights:

Pruitt...has a long rap sheet, including 19 prior arrests and eight convictions.

Pruitt was on probation and wearing an ankle monitor when he stormed the Capitol.

While on pretrial release, Pruitt was sentenced to another term of probation for violating two civil protection orders.

In addition to his ex-girlfriend, Pruitt has allegedly been threatening others on social media.

Earlier this week, pretrial services officials filed a report alleging Pruitt had recently committed seven new curfew violations.

If anybody needs to be locked up while awaiting trial, it's this lunatic. He obviously has absolutely no respect for rules of any kind and has violated probation more times than I could count while reading this. Please, Judge Kelly, get this loose cannon off the streets before he kills somebody!

16. Or before he fucks with the wrong person...

...and someone empties a magazine of 9mm into him.
