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

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.
