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.

Prosecutors described Bru as one of the least remorseful rioters who
assaulted the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. They say Bru planned for an armed
insurrection — a “January 6 2.0” attack — to take over the government in
Portland, Oregon, several weeks after the deadly riot in Washington, D.C.

“He wanted a repeat of January 6, only he implied this time would be
more violent,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing ahead of his sentencing.

Bru has been representing himself with an attorney on standby. He has
spewed anti-government rhetoric that appears to be inspired by the
sovereign citizen movement. At the start of the hearing, Bru demanded
that the judge and a prosecutor turn over five years of their financial
records.

The judge gave him a 10-minute break to confer with his standby lawyer
before the hearing resumed with more interruptions.

“I don't accept any of your terms and conditions,” Bru said. “You're a
clown and not a judge.”

Prosecutors had warned the court that Bru intended to disrupt his
sentencing. On Tuesday, he called in to a nightly vigil outside the jail
where he and other rioters are being held. He told supporters of the
detained Jan. 6 defendants that he would “try to put on a good show” at
his sentencing.

Boasberg convicted Bru of seven charges, including two felonies, after
hearing trial testimony without a jury in October.

Prosecutors recommended a prison sentence of seven years and three
months for Bru, a resident of Washington state.

“Bru appears to have envisioned and been planning for a true armed
insurrection, and from his post-conviction comments, he appears only to
have become further radicalized and angry since then,” they wrote.

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.
