He is a menace to society

The backstory:
Betancur was pardoned by President Trump last year after spending four months in prison for storming the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

He was on parole for burglary charges at the time, and was given permission to travel to DC under the guise of selling Bibles with the evangelical Gideon International organization. He was later placed at the riot thanks to his ankle monitor.

Court documents stated that Betancurwas a "self-professed white supremacist," who wanted to be a "lone-wolf killer" after making comments about "conducting a school shooting" and wanting to "run people over with a vehicle and kill people in church."
