...

The father of three from Dallas has been charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority. Brock has also been charged with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

He appeared in a Texas court in a green jumpsuit on Thursday, with cuffs around his hands and feet.

"He means to take hostages. He means to kidnap, restrain, perhaps try, perhaps execute members of the U.S. government," Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Weimer said of Brock. The prosecutor did not provide further clarification on his comments.

Despite these strong accusations, Magistrate Judge Jeffrey L. Cureton said he would release the former lieutenant colonel, 53, to home confinement. Brock was ordered to surrender any firearms and the judge said he would have limited internet access under his confinement.

1. I hope he doesn't go beat the shit out of his ex-wife for turning them in

[Orrex]

20. A very real possibility of murder/suicide there

Horrifying.

Too bad he wasn't a black teenager stealing a pack of cigarettes; he'd have been held without bond and then jailed for 40 years.

[StClone]

26. If the teen survived the arrest.

[Irish_Dem]

2. Unbelievable. nt

[Harker]

3. He's a fight risk and a flight risk.

Limiting his internet access? Tough judge.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. White privilege. . . . nt

[Crowman2009]

21. Not to mention officer privilege as well!

Officers in the military for the most part get way lighter sentences than enlisted personnel.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

29. Meanwhile, Trump's black rioters sit in jail and and rot.

Oh, that's right -- Trump doesn't have any black supporters. At least none that I've seen on the videos.

5. Wanna bet he violates? (nt)

[Dustlawyer]

18. I hope he tries to flee and gets caught.

[iluvtennis]

28. +++ agree. he'll flea. thinks he is aboive the law. nt

[Marthe48]

6. being a top google hit

when you type in ex-military guy arrested isn't a life achievement I'd want.

[doc03]

7. There is another ex military guy that should be reactivated and charged with

treason. Then there is the other one they have to provide organic meals for.

[lagomorph777]

8. He is a clear and present danger to the community and to his ex-wife.

This judge needs to be impeached, pronto.

[Squinch]

9. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we hear of him doing some last stand bullshit in the next couple

of days.

[Rebl2]

10. Needed

to take away his passport as well

[jmowreader]

11. I really hope they have him under GPS tracking

I believe Mr. Brock to be the kind of person who would find his way to Washington, get a gun and attempt to kill members of our government.

[IsItJustMe]

12. Hate to state the obvious, but it seems like some of these judges are bending over backwards

to facilitate these criminals. What about the judge that ordered the correction facility to provide the shaman organic food.

[StClone]

27. Bet they are Conservative Judges afraid of retribution

By the Pee-rod Boyz.

[JDC]

13. Just in time for the Inauguration. This is bad judgement.

[durablend]

14. Why doesn't the judge give him another gun too?

Wouldn't want to deprive the poor snowflake.

[orangecrush]

15. Can the DA

Appeal this?

[electric_blue68]

16. Ugh. SOME effing Texans! I have lib Texan friends...

so no over arching condemnation.

Yeah, they better be tracking him!

[Crowman2009]

23. Yeah, people seem to have forgotten about Ann Richards or Molly Ivins.

The right-wing morons have collective amnesia thinking that Texas was always a red-state. It wasn't until the mid-90's when some drunk idiot son of a president open the door for these brain dead morons.

[electric_blue68]

25. Loved Ann & Molly!

In a way I'd forgotten...

But these 4 years feel like a ? decade so their memories feel further away! 🤔

[Miigwech]

17. White man involved in a coup at Capital, no problem ...

Oh, he wanted to kill democratically elected representatives, did we say he was white? ... no biggie, he is retired military and did we say he is white? Flight risk, did we say he was white? WTF ???? Call him ANTIFA already (snark) and get his effing ass locked up in GITMO! NO bail.

[Midnight Writer]

19. The order to surrender firearms is a joke.

Who knows what kind of stashes this guy has.

I personally know gun humpers who have caches of weapons and ammo at remote locations "just in case".

[Walleye]

22. Should be charged with attempted kidnapping. The flex cuffs prove it

[Crowman2009]

24. Wonder if he gave the judge a teary-eyed washed in the blood of Jayzus argument?

[fantase56]

30. Maybe he'll do the honorable thing........ nt

[BlueIdaho]

31. It would be a shame

If someone shot him dead on the street. Texas can be a dangerous place.
