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.
He did have enough free time on his hands to travel from wherever he lives to storm the capitol., so you’re probably onto something there.
Well, let’s not lay a blanket statement like that down on anybody that makes an effort to join a protest in DC. It is travel, a day’s worth of travel for some, or a flight, and you have to book a stay somewhere, pay for parking, food, etc. There are lot of people who will commit to that for a protest for really good causes, and that shouldn’t be downplayed.
But then there’s assholes like this, who did all of that…for Donald Trump.
