Proud Boys member gets six years in prison for Capitol riot after insulting judge - eviltoast

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.

      Aka the “Sedition Edition”.

      (Don’t mind me, I just like playing with words.)

      I guess homeboy is really banking on Trump winning the election and pardoning him and his fellow lackeys.

        I think that’s basically everyone’s strategy at this point. Putin, Trump, Guiliani, everyone else in the GOP. All their hopes are riding on Trump winning the election or else everything goes to shit.
