An 18-year-old teenager from Georgia accused of a riot on the Capitol told a judge that he will be a good boy if he is allowed to return to Mom and Dad’s house.
Bruno Joseph Cua, who has been in federal custody since his arrest on February 5 for his role in the attack on the nation’s Capitol, wrote a letter to United States District Court Judge Randolph D. Moss on Thursday, pleading for being sent home while awaiting trial, reported the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
The feds have accused Cua, of Milton, Georgia, of assaulting a federal official, civil disorder and several other crimes, including entering the Senate floor, according to the criminal complaint. Cua was filmed in the Senate House and seen in a video posted by The New Yorker about the siege, the complaint said.

“Yes, for everyone who asks, I invaded the capital (sic) with hundreds of thousands of patriots,” posted Cua on his deleted Instagram account. “What happened was unbelievable,” he continued. “Yes, we physically struggled to get in.”
Cua is the youngest person accused in the riot, which he joined after attending the previous rally near the White House with his parents, who drove him to Washington, the Journal Constitution said.

Cua sent a complainant: “I love you, I love you both”. his parents on February 12, when bail was denied, reported the Atlanta 11 Alive.
He promised in his letter “not to step out of line” if he could return to his home in the Atlanta suburb.
The teenager was denied bail in part because of his history of violent rhetoric online, including a January 6 post that said, “We don’t attack the American people. We attack swamp rats,” according to the Journal Constitution.

“Considering how inadequate (sic) my social media activity was, I really understand your concerns,” wrote Cua. “I am not a danger to anyone and I will never act according to what I said.”
“I completely lost those aggressive feelings and put the whole political (sic) idea aside,” he added a few sentences later. “I was wrong.”
Prosecutors also opposed the release of Cua into his parents’ custody because they drove him to Washington.
