Before Jan. 6, 18-year-old Bruno Cua was best known in his small town of Milton, Ga., as a great builder of treehouses. These were big, elaborate creations with ladders and trapdoors and framed-out windows. They were so impressive, neighbors paid Cua to build them for their kids.
The world outside Milton, Ga., met Cua in a rather more dramatic way. He was allegedly seen in multiple videos standing in the Senate Chamber of the U.S. Capitol with a handful of other rioters. The videos have since gone viral: There's a man in combat gear, now identified as Air Force veteran Larry Brock, Jr., chiding rioters, including Cua, about why they shouldn't sit in Vice President Mike Pence's chair. Cua seemed confused. "They can steal an election, but we can't sit in their chairs?" he asked.
In a defense motion filed on Friday, Bruno Cua's lawyers said their client "is an impressionable 18-year-old kid who was in the middle of finishing his online coursework to graduate from high school when he was arrested."

Bruno Joseph Cua, 18, the youngest of the more than 300 people accused of attacking the Capitol on 6 January to halt the election, pleaded with a judge in Georgia this week to let him go back to his family before his trial.
In an error-riddled message to US District Court Judge Randolph D Moss, Mr Cua, who is accused of assaulting a federal officer before making his way to the Senate floor with a baton, says he isn’t a danger to anyone and was making empty threats on social media. He has pleaded not guilty.
“My posts were foolish, unnessacary (sic), and untrue, thats (sic) not who I am or ever want to be, I have completely comprehended a very painful! Lesson over the last month in jail, including over two weeks in isolation,” he wrote in a letter to the court on Thursday. “I have completely lost those aggressive feelings and moved on from the entire political idea. I was wrong.”
This kid is desperately in need of an education...

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.

According to prosecutors, on Dec. 30 Cua wrote that “we just have to take back what’s ours.” Then, on Jan. 6, he wrote: “We didn’t attack American people. We attacked the swamp rats.” He also wrote that he wanted to “lock the swamp rat tyrants in the capitol and burn the place to the ground.”

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.

The mother of Bruno Cua ― a Georgia 18-year-old who stormed the U.S. Capitol, pushed a cop and entered the Senate chamber with a baton after traveling to D.C. with his parents for Donald Trump’s rally ― told a federal judge Wednesday she felt “stupid” for buying into the former president’s lies about mass voter fraud.
Alise Cua and her husband, Joseph Cua, took their teenage son to D.C. for the “Stop the Steal” rally, in which the then-president and his allies attempted to pressure lawmakers to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election based on false conspiracy theories about mass voter fraud. Afterward, the family members made their way to the Capitol and unlawfully entered restricted grounds. The younger Cua made his way inside and shoved an officer to get into the Senate chamber.
Since her son was arrested, Alise Cua testified during a hearing before a federal judge in D.C. on Wednesday, she had spent time “feeling, quite frankly, just stupid for believing what I believed.”
“I really should’ve known better,” she said, adding that she and her son felt “ridiculous” for believing the former president’s lies about voter fraud.
And now you see where he gets his intellect...

“Yes, for everyone asking I stormed the [Capitol] with hundreds of thousands of patriots,” the teenager from Milton, Ga., wrote. “I’ll do a whole video explaining what happened, this is history. What happened was unbelievable.”

The teenager, who has since made his Instagram account private, regularly posted about his love for guns, pickup trucks and ATVs, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Last May, the local paper reported, he posed with a rifle from the porch of a house, captioning the photo: “Shall not be infringed. What part of that is unclear?” accompanied by the hashtags #everydaycarry and #sniper. The paper also photographed him unfurling a large “Trump 2020” flag during a Republican rally outside the headquarters of the Georgia Republican Party last November.

In Georgia, Cua had at least one encounter with the police. In early December, officers cited the teenager for violating Milton’s public disturbance ordinance, the Milton Herald reported. Cua drove a pickup truck with a large Trump flag around the parking lot blaring his air horn, police said.
Cua told police he was “flying his flag” there because the parking lot was the only place where he could test it out, noting that he sped so his flag could flap in the wind.
