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.
Oh, yeah, I’m not arguing with you. I just mean that those gag orders wouldn’t have been necessary if he had the self discipline of a ten year old. Most other defendants would have been thrown in jail for contempt of court.
These are those few cases when you see what narcissism actually is. The narcissist has a polished look that they project to the world–confident, successful, whatever it is that they deem as “good”. In reality, it’s projected insecurity and is as fragile as a house of cards. Once the cracks start to show, the insecurity comes out to the open and you see this behavior. It even has a name: narcissist rage.
