Criminal Complaint
A Capitol rioter who was arrested on charges of assaulting a police officer during the insurrection says he was beaten up in prison. Bruno Joseph Cua is the youngest person facing charges for taking part in the attack by a pro-Trump mob on Jan. 6. “Mr. Cua was assaulted and then threatened by a fellow inmate over this past weekend,” his lawyer wrote on Monday as part of a request for his release ahead of trial. “We understand that the inmate struck Mr. Cua in the face with his open hand, injuring his nose, over the use of the phone, and then threatened him regarding the incident.” Cua also tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, and his lawyers are requesting that he be allowed to quarantine at a hotel in order to avoid spreading the disease. In photos of Cua storming the Capitol, he doesn’t appear to be wearing a face mask.


having problems finding much sympathy for this fool

1. No one is safe in jail or prison. It's designed to be unsafe. And that's shitty, no matter who's

being incarcerated.

4. + 1000, but many here don't agree. Nt

13. DU can be quite an odd place.

Progressive on most issues, yet many will joke about or cheer on prison violence, including rape.

[USALiberal]

16. So true! Nt

[SharonClark]

10. Agree.

[Solly Mack]

14. I agree

[NCjack]

2. Solution:Cua must tell the warden to stop this,

or he will sent a tell-all letter to ex-Pres. Trump.

3. I'm torn. He's doing his punishment for the crime he committed.

Are jails supposed to be a place for additional punishment more then the judge gave? Getting beat up of pushed around in jail is not part of punishment. Now that is a reform for the bigger picture for law enforcement reform. Nobody should be able to “assault” somebody in a jail. If it was an African American getting tossed around by proud boys in jail, I’d be furious. Jails are a place for punishment but not additional punishment.

6. seems that he is learning the very hard way, there is always a bigger badass then you.

7. What crime did he commit?

[Rustyeye77]

15. No crime yet

But he’s up on multiple charges..sadly

Assault on a Federal Officer;
Civil Disorder;
Obstruction of an Official Proceeding;
Restricted Building or Grounds;
Enter or remain on the floor or gallery of either House of Congress,
Violent Entry or Disorderly Conduct,
Engage in physical violence,
Obstruct, or impede passage, and parade,
demonstrate, or picket on Capitol Grounds

That assault charge will send him to prison.

9. When was he convicted? NT

{edit} What Ptah said.

12. We can't guarantee that level of behavior on the outside. Its a two way street ...

... we do not want extrajudicial punishment or have inmates become our representatives in extrajudicial, unconstitutional punishment/justice. And he has to go along to get along.

He committed a crime. He assaulted people who were injured. Like any other criminal he gets to go through the process. I'm a lot more concerned with kids in prison sentenced as adults in adult prison with adult sentences including life without parole.

His getting slapped because he didn't know or ignored the fact there is someone inside who has the phone concession truly doesn't bother me a bit.

And: this isn't some simple assault case he's been arrested for, this was an assault in the pursuit of insurrection.

5. Cool I was told he was released with an ankle monitor

8. The MAGA terrorists aren't going to be popular in prison

They're viewed as White Supremacists who hate our country. They're just in jail right now, but when they go to prison, they're going to probably be forced to join the Aryan Brotherhood gangs where they can really good a good look at Trumpism.

11. No sympathy in the least. The best way to avoid being smacked around in jail is ...

... to not commit a crime. Another good method once you are arrested is to not be a dick by insisting on your "privilege" or "rights" with people who feel they have no rights or privilege.

[NYC Liberal]

20. No, the best way to not get "smacked around" in jail

is to have a system that ensures as best as is possible that such violence never occurs.

I hope you don’t think that everyone who’s in jail has committed a crime, by the way. Aside from the innocent people who have been wrongfully convicted, many people are being held before their trial has even been held. Such as in this case.

21. Good post. Thank you for this. Sad to see people cheer prison violence. This place confuses me

sometimes.

[msfiddlestix]

18. No sympathy from me. Period.

He can get his shots though.
