Trump supporter found dead in Georgia after being charged in Capitol riot

https://www.rawstory.com/capitol-riot-2649911631/

Christopher Stanton Georgia died at his home on Saturday, According to documents exclusively obtained by the Daily Mail, Georgia's wife called 9-11 and told authorities that there was "blood everywhere." While Georgia's cause of death is still unknown, officers removed two semi-automatic SKS rifles from the home.

After his arrest, Georgia was charged with attempting to "enter certain property, that is, the United States Capitol Grounds, against the will of the United States Capitol Police," according to the Daily Mail.

(more in the Raw Story piece)

Some, in the comments, are speculating as to whether Stanton committed suicide or was perhaps done in by Q or other forces. Personally I suspect that he had been living in a fantasy world and when faced with the reality of what he had done, was unable to deal with it. That's my take.

that the article is poorly written/abstracted and that the writer meant to write "Christopher Stanton *of* Georgia" and then continued to screw up because he later refers to him as "Stanton".

Bad proofreading drives me nuts too, but the article is pretty intriguing and I hadn't seen it anywhere else.

When he spoke of how his father and others in Austria were tortured by the memory of things they had seen and done.

There will likely be more who finally awake from the fantasy of fanatical patriotism that the President and his enablers weaved for them, to realize they instead had been goaded into becoming seditionists.

More blood on Trump's hands, in my opinion.

But, the orange buffoon is still going to be a former president, the full reach of law enforcement is in play, and that thought did not occur to them.
If this is a suicide, I doubt it's a final act of remorse.
More fear of prison & a ruined life, all for nothing.
