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.
But, of course, he’s another one who got a slap on the wrist even after flat out going Goofy meme on this shit.
He stormed the capital in a literal attempt to help overthrow the Untied States government. This is a situation where they are lucky the army didn’t show up and open fire. If that had happened it would have honestly been understandable because this was AN ATTACK ON OUR GOVERNMENT.
There are people out there doing decades because they got caught with weed and you say 6 years for trying to TAKE DOWN THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT is not a slap on the wrist?
It’s not a slap on the wrist, even if you think he should have gotten more.
I don’t think it’s wise to base all of our sentencing on old sentences for weed.
I agree, it’s not a slap on the wrist.
But I will say that the majority of our sentencing is actually too long and too harsh. We’ve had decades of being “tough on crime” but it hasn’t worked and will not work. We need to rethink our criminal justice system rather than just hand out bigger and harsher penalties.
