Marc Bru repeatedly interrupted chief judge before the sentence was handed down, calling him a ‘clown’ and a ‘fraud’

A man who stormed the US Capitol with fellow Proud Boys far-right extremist group members was sentenced on Wednesday to six years in prison after he berated and insulted the judge who punished him.

Marc Bru repeatedly interrupted chief judge James Boasberg before the sentence was handed down, calling him a “clown” and a “fraud” presiding over a “kangaroo court”.

The judge warned Bru that he could be kicked out of the courtroom if he continued to disrupt the proceedings.

“You can give me 100 years and I’d do it all over again,” said Bru, who was handcuffed and shackled.

“That’s the definition of no remorse in my book,” the judge said.

      LOL this is precisely why the Trump judges are not being aggressive. No way this case didn’t get tossed or retried on appeal because of the judge’s behavior.

        As opposed to the results of the Trump trials (that’s many plurals), this case actually resulted in a life time sentence.

          And Trump’s cases will result in the loss of somewhere around $350,000,000, the loss of a right to conduct business, and then jail time. That lost of status is a greater punishment to someone like Trump than a life sentence.
