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.

    Slapping Trump down in court would feel awesome until whatever decisions the judge makes get overturned on appeal on some technicality. I’m perfectly happy with the current strategy of giving him all the rope he wants. If his supporters want to fuck around and find out how the justice system works for folks in their income bracket…well, I’m sorry but insurrection has consequences and unapologetic insurrection has bigger consequences.
