Maybe Karma does exist, after all. At least, that’s the thought I had after seeing the face of the racist streamer Dalton Levi Eatherly, aka “Chud the Builder,” sink in court on May 15 after a judge set his bond at $1.25 million, meaning he’s sitting in jail right now as he faces attempted murder charges.Here’s the context.This guy, “Chud the Builder,” got big for livestreaming himself in public and going up to random black people and calling them the N-word. Seriously.
He’s what’s called a “nuisance streamer.” He has no talent or value of any kind other than intentionally going up to strangers and racially abusing them and hoping to provoke a reaction, which he then calls “chimping out.” That is the basis on which he has built himself a following and made a living.
In the least surprising twist ever, he recently allegedly crossed into criminal behavior.
On May 9, he was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and theft after allegedly livestreaming himself belligerently entering a restaurant, using racial slurs, and walking out on a $370 bill.
Then, after being released on bail over these charges, he got into an altercation with a black man outside a courthouse just days later, ultimately firing his gun and later being charged with attempted murder. According to local reporting, “Chud” escalated the verbal conflict by reaching for his firearm, after which a physical fight ensued.
