'Aspiring Proud Boy' who told his probation officer he was handing out Bibles on January 6 is sentenced to 4 months in prison on Capitol riot charge

A Maryland man who violated his parole to take part in the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, was sentenced to four months in prison this week after federal prosecutors pushed for the higher end of his sentencing recommendation, arguing that the defendant was a self-identified white supremacist.

Bryan Betancur pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of entering and remaining in a restricted building in May. He was originally charged with five counts related to his role in the attack, but as the government works to prosecute the nearly 900 people arrested in connection with the siege, prosecutors have offered some rioters lesser charges in exchange for their guilty pleas.

US District Judge Timothy Kelly on Wednesday sentenced Betancur to four months, as well as one year of supervised release and a $500 fine in restitution.

Betancur was one of the first defendants arrested in relation to the insurrection after officers took him into custody on January 18, 2021. But even before January 6, 2021, Betancur was already a convicted criminal, serving out a probation sentence that required him to wear a GPS monitor due to a 2019 burglary charge, according to court documents.

1. 4 months is unlikely to rehabilitate him. He will remain a danger to the public.

3. A stinking 4 months

If a black guy in DC or Baltimore lied to his probation officer so he could go commit crimes, he'd be in jail for years.
If I was arrested for assaulting a police line that would be my retirement plan.

Betancur needs to serve time for probation violation. He deserves more than 4 months for being stupid enough to go into the Capitol wearing an ankle bracelet. Plus, he showed no contrition: he's been rallying with that loonie 1776 Restoration Movement.

Why do these Covfeferates all get such tiny sentences? Some, I'm sure, got time off for snitching, but even those 7 year sentences will get shortened for "good behavior" and conversion to jesus.
