I would have been FINE with ALL Capitol attackers being locked up until trial. But THIS guy?

While on pretrial release, Josh Pruitt went on CNN to say that he'd attack the Capitol again, given the chance. Because of this statement, and also because of multiple threats he made to his girlfriend and others, AND CURFEW VIOLATIONS (trying to sound like Arlo Guthrie, here), prosecuters are trying to revoke his pretrial release.

WHY he was on pretrial release seems to be unanswered. He was a member of the Proud Boys, with a long rap sheet. HE WAS EVEN WEARING A GPS ANKLE MONITORING SYSTEM WHILE ATTACKING THE CAPITOL BUILDING!!

1. Why was he on pretrial release?

Easy answer. Because he’s a white conservative male.

[PatSeg]

2. Whoa, he was wearing an ankle monitor WHILE attacking the Capitol?

Clearly this guy shouldn't have been on pretrial release.

[70sEraVet]

3. Yeah, it makes you wonder why they even put those on people if they're free to go ANYWHERE

without any repercussions.

[PatSeg]

4. Yeah, I was under the impression

that the individual really was being monitored.

[2naSalit]

5. Perhaps they should...

Work more like those invisible fence shock collars.

[dchill]

10. I think you're onto something!

[notinkansas]

6. The judge who released him

should have his courtroom monitored. Decisions like that would seem to warrant it.

24. There are three DC magistrates who indicted 40 that same day, Jan 8.

Looks like they were overworked. The whole judicial system is. It needs a real overhaul.

7. As dumb as he looks.

All we need is a head covering and he could be al-Qaeda, ISIS or Taliban.

[Zambero]

11. He's one black turban away from the Taliban

The qualifying oppressive, fanatical, and violent authoritarianism is already there.

8. Judge needs to be investigated imo

[spooky3]

9. I'm always amazed that losers like this HAVE girlfriends. Nt

[FakeNoose]

19. What, are you kidding? He's any girl's dream

[Snackshack]

12. I don't understand this at all.

How does one assault the Capitol while wearing an ankle bracelet and remain on his own recognizance it makes no sense.

[llashram]

13. any other POC

would be in prison by now with the key thrown away. White privilege run amok. 19 prior arrests. 8 convictions. Talk about entitled. Racist white toilet wipe gets to pass go, collect white entitlement to try to overthrow the American government.

The hypocrisy of just this individual being on the street is astounding.

[jmowreader]

14. What is the point of "three strikes" laws...

…if people like this can’t be put away for life?

Yes, I know: they are there to put minorities away.

[Iggo]

18. Phew! I thought for a second I was gonna have to say what the point is.

Then I saw your name.

[uponit7771]

15. White, male, hetero and prolly assumed to be xtrian

[marieo1]

16. Desperate Media

I don't get it either.............why would they release a criminal like him? Why are they so hesitant to prosecute all the people that are insurrectionists? What is the hold-up? I know how great it felt to see the murderers of Ahmaud Arbery prosecuted, now I hope and pray NO ONE can undo it and I hope and pray the court system will hold others accountable. I don't get the media letting some idiot even have a voice on CNN. I believe the media is the cause for the leniency on people like this. Anything to fill up air space and they don't care if it's right or wrong. SHAME ON THE MEDIA!!

20. Why the hell does CNN even acknowledge these traitors? nt

[twodogsbarking]

22. So people know they exist?

That can count.

[Hekate]

21. It boggles the mind, it really does. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Saw This Earlier

And you are 100% correct.
How was pretrial release granted without conditions? Logically, continuing to commit crimes & bragging about the crime for which the trial is set would be reasonable conditions that he violated.
