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.

This is why you don’t give terrorists a second chance.
So, this guys’ whole thing is basically, “GRRR, I’M ANGRY. FUCKOFF AND GIVE ME 6 YEARS”.
Man, you sure showed that judge and everyone else by being locked up for 6 years now.
2,190 days where I’ll be out in the sunshine, eating delicious food, playing with my kids, and he’ll be stuck inside most of the time eating prison food lol.

According to another article the guy is 43. Imagine proudly throwing away the majority of your forties for Donald fucking Trump. Like most people when I was young I always thought 40 was ancient but now that I’m approaching it myself I simply can’t imagine anything being worth losing these years. My partner and I finally have the stability and the means to do many of the things we’ve always dreamed of. It would be such a waste.
I suspect he’d didn’t have as much to lose by throwing away his 40s as you would. He doesn’t sound like the most rational of sorts, so probably didn’t have the 'stability and the means" for a good life you mention.
Reminds me of State of Georgia vs Fenton Allen, court transcript by Rick and Morty.
“You reckon? Reckon you could suck my dick?”
Absolute comedy gold. If you’re going down, go all out.
Unless the judge gave him maximum sentence, this is not justice
One less trump voter
I’m not sure, but can an American vote from prison?
No and in most states, an American can’t vote after getting out of prison
Ah okay. I must have misunderstood. Thanks.
Yes, you can legally vote from jail/prison, however many states, and local counties, will make this difficult. You lose voting rights for a felony (possibly just a subset). A misdemeanor does not impact your voting rights.
Without double checking, I’m guessing this guy was charged with a felony. Most of the January 6 charges were misdemeanors, not felonies. It really feels like your should lose your voting rights for at least 1 election cycle if you’re charged with some sort of election fraud or trying to over turn an election

Definitely a felony, you don’t get longer than a year in prison for a misdemeanor.
You don’t go to prison for a misdemeanor, you go to jail which is a vastly different environment than prison.
I thought those were synonyms !
They are distinct in that jail is short term and prison is long term.
alright thanks
He’s just hoping Drumpf will get elected and pardon them all. He probably would too. If Drumpf gets back into the Oval Office, kiss this country goodbye.
Trump doesn’t care about these useful idiots.
They can’t scratch his back, he won’t even acknowledge them let alone pardon them.
True but by pardoning them, the next batch of insurrectionists will be a lot more bolder and violent.
Bold of you to assume Trump thinks that far ahead.
Reckless of you not to.
Trump is a malignant narcissist. Other people barely exist to him, unless they are actively fawning over him at that very moment. The guy is incapable of long term planning.
Yes, but people around him are able to convince him “Hi, Mr President, you know these guys… Yeah, it’s in your best interest to pardon them because XYZ…”
Yeah, maybe. But to him they’re still losers for going to jail for failing to take the Capitol.
