just saw this wild story about Betancur, the guy who got pardoned for Jan 6 and now he's back in jail? apparently he was arrested again for stalking a woman on DC metro, like literally streaming himself touching women's hair without permission. the judge had already put him on an ankle monitor after the first arrest but he violated it anyway.

what's crazy is his whole history - Betancur claims he went to the Capitol to hand out bibles but they caught him lying through his ankle monitor data from a previous conviction. feds said he was obsessed with being a 'lone-wolf killer' and had ties to white supremacists. Trump pardoned him and like 1500 other people from Jan 6, and this is what happens.

now prosecutors want to hold him pending trial because apparently Betancur was harassing this woman on Telegram and X throughout 2024-2025, asking weird stuff about her mental health and feet, then showed up at a DC event throwing Nazi salutes trying to get her kicked out. then streamed himself at the Supreme Court building demanding to know where she was.

and he's not even the only one - other pardoned rioters have gotten in trouble too. the whole thing is honestly depressing to read about. Betancur's case just shows how quickly some people went from Capitol riot to more serious crimes.
