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.

        Don’t see how that’s relevant. He insults people to their faces and they still miss his feet.

            This might come as a surprise to you, but Trump can only pardon people if he is the President. He hasn’t pardoned anyone because (big reveal incoming) he’s not the President.

            Now, if he wins this election in November, he will become president again (Google “election” for more info), and I am pretty certain that this is what people are worried about when they talk about him pardoning J6 convicts.

              You think 1/6 traitors were the first time Trump supporters got arrested? When he was president, he pardoned his buddies. But how many low level losers who failed him did he pardon when he was president?

                  No, I honestly cannot think of a single nobody Trump ever pardoned, despite his promises. He never paid anybody’s court fees for assaulting people. None of that stuff. To get a pardon from Trump, people had to either be very close to him, be a war criminal, or bribe him. Schlubs like the Proud Boys do not matter to him.
