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.

Well, naturally, this guy was “traveling,” so how can he be arrested for insurrection? Let’s go SovCits! Jackass.

There’s also mention of him declaring a “kangaroo court.” Let me redirect you to think of kangaroos. That’s fun.

    “You can give me 100 years and I’d do it all over again,” said Bru, who was handcuffed and shackled.

    So he’s admitting to what he did and clearly stating that he would do it again, but he only gets six years.

    This story got me thinking. I bet rewriting Jay-Z’s song HOVA, to having the chorus around FAFO, wouldn’t be too difficult.

    I would pay to see his first night in prison after he is locked in for the first time. Alone in the noise of a prison at night.

    No internet to keep you company.

    No proud boys.

    No family.

    Just their own thoughts and the yells from the other cells. Maybe a realisation that this will be his life for up to six years.

    I wonder if it will still be worth it then.

      Based on:

      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.

      Imma guess he’s got a touch of the ol’ sociopathy that’s been going around the fascists. I doubt prison will do anything but harden his broken mind such that when he gets out he’ll be back for armed robbery in a month. And, ironically, will get more time for it.
