Paul Davis said his life fell apart after he attended the "Stop the Steal" rally and Capitol riot last year in Washington, DC.

Davis, an attorney from Frisco, Texas, told Insider he lost his job, fiancée, and friends after he came home from the on January 6, 2020, insurrection that left five people, including a Capitol Hill police officer, dead.

A day after the riot, the insurance firm where Davis had worked as an associate general counselor for seven months announced in a tweet that he had been fired. He eventually had to sell his home because he had no stream of income.

Davis, 40, said his fiancée started to act cold toward him after a local Texas news station tweeted out that he lived in Frisco. He said he feared a mob would show up outside his door and asked his dad to pick up his house keys from his fiancée and remove his guns and gold from the house. His fiancée refused to give his dad the keys, Davis recalled.

1. He is no wiser for his experience, he's still a dumbass.

[riversedge]

2. 'I don't regret going'....................

dumbass is generous


.............Davis last year filed a lawsuit claiming the "entire 117th Congress is illegitimate and all actions taken since January 3, 2021, including the counting of the Electoral College votes and confirmation of Joseph Biden as President-Elect and the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump are null and void."
'I don't regret going'....................

17. Can't lawyers go to jail for filing lawsuits that are stupid? NT

[Eugene]

27. No, but they can be sanctioned or disbarred. Kraken lawyer Sidney Powell is well on her way.

Four Season Rudy's New York law license is suspended for this nonsense too.

[Demovictory9]

8. yep

[DFW]

3. "You, sir, are no Nathan Hale."

Guys like this play with guns, shoot themselves in the foot, and then blame their subsequent limp on Democrats.

[sprinkleeninow]

4. here yah go...

Sad Trombone Wah Wah Wah Fail Sound Effect

[Hortensis]

5. Sad. We're seeing that a LOT of people are vulnerable to

being deceived and are highly dependent on the support of generally rational environments. We have some on the left also who are particularly vulnerable to political manipulation; it's not just a RW thing.

In spite of his instability he's managed to get through some really rough times. I wish his new law firm specializing in representing people who refuse to be vaccinated sounded like a good thing. Maybe a deadly new variant will come along to help him out.

30. This is a mental health issue America ignores.

Its also a global thing. It is how people are radicalized, Left or Right.

[DUgosh]

6. What a piece of work

Thank goodness his lady got away from him when she did

[North Shore Chicago]

7. Dear fuck face,

go fuck yourself!

[Takket]

12. +1

[Hekate]

9. Well written & above all factual article at the link. He gets to tell his story, BUT the Big Lie is

… shot down repeatedly in all its manifestations.

I have to say I started feeling sorry for the guy, but by the time he ended up talking about “God’s plan for him,” I was like nope. His fiancee was smart to dump him.

[LisaM]

10. Guns and gold?

Who has a house full of guns and gold?

[Comfortably_Numb]

13. Sounds like somebody also watches a lot of faux snooze and falls for those "buy gold" commercials.

[Deminpenn]

14. Guns and gold, the mainstays of rw media ad sales

Wonder if he sold his house to keep the gold?

[SergeStorms]

11. Not so funny when the shoe....

is on the other foot, is it you right-wing pieces of dung?

You assholes want to attack teachers, school board members, Doctors, Nurses etc. to scare them into submission? It works both ways, you freaking doorknobs.

We're going to find out who you are, and we're going to ruin your freaking lives unless you stop this childish, selfish bullshit, and act like a concerned human being about every person in this country. EVERY PERSON!

[maxrandb]

15. Oh, so, he was afraid a "mob would show up outside his door"?

[JHB]

25. That's what a steady diet of fox droppings trains you to believe.

[thucythucy]

36. All followers of the Slobfather seem to be irony impaired.

It's a near universal thing with them.

I think it has to do with atrophied critical thinking skills.

[EYESORE 9001]

16. He should be disbarred to boot

He went to law school without grasping some of the fundamental tenets of law. Fucking waste.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

21. I am wondering how this idiot was not disbarred

[zuul]

22. Yes, he should.

In the article he stated “In my mind, I did nothing wrong.”

That fucker would probably do it again. These assholes don’t believe the law applies to them.

[modrepub]

18. Play Stupid Games

wind stupid prizes.

And his hero (TFG) sits in Mar a Largo luxury and laughs. Guess he has no regrets being beaten like a rented mule.

[malaise]

19. He should have thought of the consequences of sedition

before he headed to DC - fuck off fool.

[cstanleytech]

20. He had a choice not to attend so I have a difficult time feeling sympathy for him.

[Raven]

23. Mr. Davis, it was not "part of god's plan" for your life. I know it wasn't because

god told me so. You must have been talking to an imposter.

[hatrack]

24. Boo. Fucking. Hoo.

What a clueless, self-righteous, ignorant sockful of cat shit. Unbelievable.

[Bettie]

26. His life did not "fall apart"

he took actions which changed his life, for the worse.

Fall apart sounds like it happened independent of his actions. Fact is, he made choices. Poor choices.

Mr. Davis is now experiencing the consequences of his choices. Perhaps in the future he'll look before he leaps.

[apnu]

28. This dude was stashing guns and gold at his ex's house??

This guy is a problem! There is no legit reason to stash guns and gold at someone else’s home.

[Liberal In Texas]

31. It was his house, the fiance just had an extra set of keys. n/t

[apnu]

33. You are right, I miss read it.

Still, he’s in hiding and needs his prepper guns and gold?

This guy is a flight risk and danger to society.

[Liberal In Texas]

29. Jerk. Bottom of the article says he's doing better:

Davis previously told The New York Times he earned a "badge of honor" among conservatives for his presence during the riot. About a month after the riot, he started up a law firm, which focuses on employment law and represents in part clients who do not want to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. The firm got Davis "back on track" and helped him to move forward, he said.

I hope his law firm falls on its ass. I can't imagine he can make too much money representing schlubs who don't want to get vaccinated.

"

I mean, I would like to not live with that fear in the back of my mind, 'Is the FBI coming for me?"

That sounds like he hasn't been charged yet. Sure seems like he needs to be.

[bullwinkle428]

38. I hope his clients pay him the way Trump paid his subcontractors.

[tanyev]

34. Lost everything and learned nothing.

[JHB]

35. File under "When the hill you choose to die on is a pile of horseshit."

[Victor_c3]

37. What did these people expect would happen?

You involve yourself in a plot to overthrow our government and you thought that you’d just got back to your life the next day like nothing happened?

Regardless of the outcome might be, you’re old life will never be the same once you’re involved in something like this.
