WASHINGTON (AP) — A man who stormed the U.S. Capitol with fellow Proud Boys 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 he handed down the sentence, 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.

1. Another hostage.

Pardon on the way. Does he sing tenor or bass? Choir practice is daily. Marge visits on request.
Does she provide Boebert massages when she visits her peeps?

[patphil]

2. He's going to spend 6 of the best years of his life in prison for listening to that megalomaniac.

As Ron White says , "you can't fix stupid".
But you can give it a 6 year time out.

[Skittles]

24. yup

[LudwigPastorius]

31. 1 degree? Bet I know where it's from...

I sincerely hope she has a miserable 6 years and gets his Justice in a miserable prison!

[Demobrat]

14. They are all repulsive, ignorant apes.

He won’t be any more attractive after 6 years in prison, but that ship sailed a long time ago. On the upside, his story about how he told off the judge might be worth a beer or two at the bar once he gets out. A very good thing, considering he will be a convicted felon with no job and little chance of getting one.

[Number9Dream]

35. Don't insult apes. They're very intelligent. (just kiddin')

[LiberalFighter]

4. He will have a difficult time voting in the next six years.

[soldierant]

17. And, depending on the state he lives in,

some time afterwards as well. Yes, he's being sentenced in a federal court, butnot for a misdemeanor - and a felny conviction will cost him his voting rights - depending on the state for how long or how permanently.

[LiberalFighter]

18. There are no states that allow anyone serving time in prison after conviction the right to vote.

[soldierant]

20. Of course not.

But some will restore it after release, with conditions And the conditiona vary.

[LiberalFighter]

21. That is the difference.

Some won't be eligible to vote even if they are out of prison but still serving probation or in a halfway house. But once their sentence is served they can vote.

Other states don't allow felons to vote.

It turns out two states and DC permit maintain voting rights even in prison.
23 states only while incarcerated.
14 states while incarcerated and a period of time after.
11 states lose rights indefinitely for some crimes, or require governor's pardon

[AdamGG]

34. And the states where felons lose the right to vote indefinitely are red states

and this scumbag probably supported the policy.

[Justice matters.]

5. Give that extreme-right domestic terrorist 100 years then!

He asked for it and he deserves it.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

6. Should have received double what prosecutors recommended.

The pattern in all of these cases is to sentence less than the prosecution recommends.

[BumRushDaShow]

7. Seems on average, many are only getting about 1/2 the prosecution's recommended

There are some of the sentences - particularly for those convicted of Seditious Conspiracy, where DOJ has appealed the sentences to try to get longer ones.

[Lanius]

37. I'm sure if these ppl were progressive activists or minorities

They would be getting the full punishment.

[orangecrush]

8. Smacked his pee pee

Right out of the box.

[NBachers]

9. Oh, he'll be a legend amongst the inmate population for that! BFD

[Ziggysmom]

10. FAFO! Per the AP article:

"Bru absconded before his trial, skipped two court hearings and “defiantly boasted via Twitter that the government would have to come get him if it wanted him.”

“Approximately a month later, it did,” prosecutors added,"

Hope he ends up in a "Good" Prison. Wink. Wink. Wink.

[COL Mustard]

27. Is this the guy who overdosed

To try and delay his case?

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Contrite fellow

[3auld6phart]

12. 6 years

Not enough.That piece of proud boy shit. Will be whinging within 6 weeks. The j Juge should have given the creep the 100 years he bragged about.Hope the powers that be , can dish of some suitable punishment for his exalted leader “ Stinky diaper Donald Drumpfh”

[republianmushroom]

13. Enjoy Fed U., felon.

[YoshidaYui]

15. good

[sakabatou]

16. These insurrectionists must have shitty attorneys

Or they just don't listen to their own attorneys.

[LiberalFighter]

19. It appeared he was pro se with an attorney on standby.

[sakabatou]

22. Idiots. Going pro se is a pretty stupid thing to do

[LiberalFighter]

23. No doubt. Nobody claimed they weren't stupid.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

29. Well, he didn't get the max and he didn't even get the Justice Department's request of 7 years.

The judges are intent on slapping these people on the wrist.

[COL Mustard]

28. I thought Former President Stinky

Was going to pay for his lawyers. Wonder how that worked out?

[Hassler]

25. Enjoy the fine prison cuisine, traitor.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

26. What a dumbass

[ancianita]

30. You don't mess with the Chief Judge of the DC District. This Bru guy said what Scott Perry likely had been thinking.

James Boasberg, who took over from Beryl Howell, ordered Scott Perry to turn over more than 2,005 messages sought by the Garland DOJ. The Garland DOJ had seized Perry's phone in August, 2022 to obtain messages related to the 2020 election in Pennsylvania and former Vice President Mike Pence’s role in presiding over the Jan. 6, 2021, counting of Electoral College votes, according to Boasberg’s opinion. Boasberg, who had taken over the case from Howell, ordered the messages turned over by December 27 to the newly appointed Special Counsel, Jack Smith.

Boasberg ruled that the messages “may bear a relationship to legislative proceedings insofar as they touch on the certification vote, they are neither ‘integral’ nor ‘essential’ to Perry’s participation in those proceedings because they pertain only to Vice President Pence’s role,” Boasberg wrote.

33. He learned well from his mentor.

[Wednesdays]

36. Julius Streicher was unrepentant to the end, too.

Julius Streicher, widely known as "Jew-Baiter Number One," shouted "Heil Hitler!" as he was led to the scaffold following his conviction in the Nuremberg Trials. He complained throughout the process that all his judges were Jews.

[Grins]

38. What the #$%& is wrong with this judge?

Judge gave him 6-years?

From the link: "Prosecutors recommended a prison sentence of seven years and three months for Bru..."

This clown does that to the judge personally, and in his courtroom - and he gets LESS than recommended?

I think there have only been two sentencing where the judges gave the sentence recommended by prosecutors. TWO! I just don't understand this.

I would have given him 9 years.

[Ziggysmom]

39. People are actually sending money to this knob on a Give Send Go page! What is wrong

with people today? Giving their hard earned money to a convicted felon.
