Christopher Stanton Commits Suicide After Arrest For Capitol Riot by V7place(op): 5:37am On Jan 15, 2021
DONALD Trump fan reportedly shot himself in the chest and was found dead by his wife after his Capitol riot arrest.

Christopher Stanton Georgia, 53, was charged last week for his involvement in Wednesday's Capitol chaos, 11-Alive reported.

Christopher Stanton Georgia's wife found him dead in their basement on Saturday

Georgia was arrested last week

His wife found him on Saturday morning in the basement of their home and told police there was “blood everywhere.”

The father-of-two was found with a gunshot wound to the chest, the Daily Mail reported.

medical examiner ruled that the Alpharetta, Georgia, man died by suicide, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Authorities have not yet commented on a reason why Georgia took his own life.

A police report obtained by The Sun states that Georgia’s family members were "extremely distressed" at the scene.

Georgia’s wife provided gruesome details to cops and said she was searching for a gun.

Police reportedly confiscated two semi-automatic SKS rifles from Georgia’s home.


On the day of the Capitol riots, Georgia had stayed out past the 6pm curfew after police officers told Trump fans to leave around 7.15pm, court documents showed.

He was charged with attempting to "enter certain property, that is, the United States Capitol Grounds, against the will of the United States Capitol Police,” the police report states.

Georgia faced a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine and/or up to 180 days in jail.

The Trump supporter reportedly worked at the North Carolina-based banking company BB&T, as a regional portfolio manager.

Georgia apparently began working in finance after selling hairpieces in the 1990s.

His neighbor, Jace Carreras, described him as a “loving father” who “always had a smile and loved cutting his own grass.”

“I never heard him speak badly to anyone about anyone,” Carreras said.

Meanwhile, Ellen Burbage, whose daughter Lisa was once married to Georgia for less than a year, said he did not come off as political when they knew him.

"He wasn't political at all then that I remember but that was not a political time, times have changed,” Burbage said.

She added that she was “thrilled my daughter could see she had made a huge mistake,” and was “glad” to not see him again after the divorce.

We didn't think he was the right person for her to marry, she was just out of college and I thought he was a very bad influence on her,” Burbage said.


Georgia is the sixth person reported dead since MAGA fans broke into the Capitol building to try to stop Congress from certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

The Trump supporters who died have been identified as Ashli Babbitt, 35, Roseanne Boyland, 34, Kevin Greeson, 55, and Benjamin Phillips, 50.

Capitol Police officer Brian D. Sicknick died after being hit in the head with a fire extinguisher.

On Sunday, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser asked President Donald Trump for an emergency declaration, which lets the government increase powers in a specific area.

Trump on Monday issued the emergency declaration and ordered federal agencies to provide assistance to local law enforcement, amid fears of more unrest as Biden’s Inauguration Day approaches.

This is very wrong. Life is worth more than the pain of feeling cheated.
These people are soft hearted, hence cannot live in Nigeria where you will see cheating clearly and perpetrator will even rub it on your face by boasting about it and telling you that the masses can do nothing.

There's no direct correlation between his suicide and Trump, even the police have not yet commented on a reason for taking his life yet the news article is making it look like he did it because Trump is stepping down, the gang up against Trump especially in the press is really very strong.
