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.

    Yeah he knew he was fucked, he was just trying to make sure he was memorable enough that Dump would be sure to pardon him if he won a second term, which this guy is really really counting on.

      Hard to tell, if you’re dumb enough to talk for Trump’s lies about the election, you are also be dumb enough to berate a judge.

      Also could be that if you are dumb enough to believe that this will get trumps attention and he won’t think solely about himself, you are also dumb enough to berate a judge. So it’s kind of a catch 22.

        This is all conjecture:

        It serves Trump for his j6 insurrectionists and their families to believe he’ll pardon them all. His supporters (j6 and other extremists) serve Trump by continually reassuring each other that the pardons will definitely happen day 1.

        Trump supporters are surely telling each other that they have it from ‘reliable sources’ (their imaginations) that Trump will pardon everyone that’s faithful. The day of forgiveness is near and all they have to do is have faith and do good works (spread the faith, give money) and their redemption shall come.
