Jan. 6 Capitol Insurrectionist Who Showed No Remorse Sentenced to 6 Years in Prison

HeadlineJan 25, 2024

A federal judge has sentenced a January 6 insurrectionist and Proud Boys member to six years in prison. During his sentencing hearing, Marc Bru of Washington state told the judge, “You could give me 100 years, and I would still do it all over again.” During the insurrection, Bru harassed U.S. Capitol officers, prevented them from moving forward using a barricade, and took selfies inside the government building. Prosecutors say that after January 6, Bru tried to organize another violent insurrection in Portland, Oregon. Over 1,200 people have so far been charged for crimes related to the Capitol insurrection.
