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.
It’s not a slap on the wrist, even if you think he should have gotten more.
I don’t think it’s wise to base all of our sentencing on old sentences for weed.
That was just one example, not a basis and you know that. But that doesn’t change the fact this was a full on attack on the US government. An actual attempt to overthrow our democracy.
6 years for literally trying to TAKE DOWN THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
