A Texas-based lawyer who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally and later filmed himself outside the Capitol during the riot on Jan. 6 says his life fell apart after he returned from the insurrection.
Paul Davis, 40, an attorney from Frisco, Texas, told Insider he lost his job, fiancée, and friends after he came home from the insurrection on January 6.
Davis was fired from his job as an associate general counselor at an insurance firm one day after the riot and had to sell his home because he had no stream of income. After he was fired, Davis said the FBI paid him a visit to ask for his statement. He wrote that he “did not enter the interior of the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021. In fact, I have never in my life set foot inside the U.S. Capitol building,” according to Newsweek.
A federal judge also referred him to the Disciplinary Committee for the Western District of Texas.
During that time, Davis said a Texas station reported that he lived in Frisco and his fiancée started acting cold towards him.
Two weeks after the Capitol riot, Davis’ fiancée left him and his friends cut ties, too.
“Everything that I’d worked hard for for 10 years evaporated overnight,” he said.
“I just didn’t want to go on,” he added, saying he felt isolated and alone. “I mean, I wanted to die. I really did. I was in so much emotional pain. I was so lonely. I didn’t know how to even move forward with my life.”
He told Insider he began to have panic attacks every night because of the uncertainty and loneliness that resulted from his participation in the Capitol riot.
Even though his life fell apart after the riot, Davis said he has no regrets.
“I mean, I would like to not live with that fear in the back of my mind, ‘Is the FBI coming for me?” Davis said. “I don’t regret going because I just feel like it was really part of God’s plan for my life.”
About a month after the riot, Davis said he started a law firm, which focuses on employment law and represents in part clients who do not want to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. He said the firm got him “back on track” and helped him to move forward, according to Insider.
I’m pretty sure it was him throwing it all away; personal responsibility is not a strong trait with MAGAs.
Imagine whining about losing 10 years worth of ‘stuff’ after you got busted trying to destroy something that has taken over 200 years to build…
his first bad decision was believing there was a god. As an attorney he should have know better to be involved in busting his way into the Capitol
“…represents in part clients who do not want to get vaccinated against the coronavirus…”
He hasn’t learned.
he 1000% regrets going to the insurrection lol
Perhaps he should have thought about all of that beforehand.
F around and find out.
You have not lost enough if your still not regretful you moron
And yet he still has no regret for participating in an attempt to destroy our government.
Sorry, but I have little sympathy for insurrectionists.
