A Proud Boys member who stormed the U.S. Capitol was sentenced to six years in prison after insulting the judge during his sentencing.
Prosecutors described him as one of the least remorseful rioters and stated that he had planned for another violent attack in Portland.
Representing himself, he displayed anti-government rhetoric and defiance, refusing to present a defense during his trial.

“You can give me 100 years and I’d do it all over again,” Marc Bru said.
“That’s the definition of no remorse in my book,” Chief Judge James Boasberg said.
The man’s actions and statements indicate further radicalization and defiance since the Capitol riot.
“He wanted a repeat of January 6, only he implied this time would be more violent,” prosecutors wrote.
Marc Anthony Bru, 44, of Vancouver, Washington, was sentenced to 72 months in prison and 36 months of supervised release, as well as a fine of $7,946 and $2,000 in restitution for 2 felonies and 5 misdemeanors he committed at the J6 insurrection. #LockThemAllUp #DemVoice1 pic.twitter.com/Z2bvIy0CSE

“I don’t accept any of your terms and conditions,” Bru said. “You’re a clown and not a judge.”
“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,” prosecutors wrote.
This case is part of the broader legal action against individuals involved in the Capitol riot, with over 1,200 people charged and more than 750 sentenced so far.
