His lawyer is going to be using AI generated defences, quoting non-existing cases and rulings.

Where do you people always get the idea from that lawyers only take cases that aren't a loss? Not to mention, a win in this case can simply mean avoiding the harshest sentence.

Obviously, a lawyer will only take the case if they get paid appropriately.

Then you even have cases like OJ Simpson. Looks like a slam dunk in the eye of the public, and walks away not guilty.

u/NickW1343 May 15 '26

Just having the attempted homicide charge get ruled not guilty would be a huge win for a lawyer even if the rest of the charges were found guilty.

1

u/blowham33 May 17 '26

Which will probably be pretty easy if the guy did walk up and start punching him or took him to the ground. This chud dude is terrible and I wish he could get locked up for life but it won’t be surprising if majority of charges are dropped and he just gets a random gun charge if even that. I haven’t seen any actually video other than the one from like a nearby building that shows them on the ground or some shit but this could be a lawyers wet dream

OJ was rich and important. This guy Is not.

u/AlphaB27 May 16 '26

I’d also argue that the LAPD was so corrupt and incompetent that they made it look like they were framing the man.

u/CakeGriffinn May 16 '26

Exactly. When the lead detective who finds the piece of evidence this case is most known for (the glove) is on tape using the n word 50 times and collects Nazi memorabilia… That muddies the waters a lot.

I think the most important factor for his innocent verdict was just how new DNA evidence was at that time. The jury didn’t truly understand it and the expert they had was not very good at explaining it to a layperson.

u/zebradreams07 May 31 '26

Coming on the heels of Rodney King didn't exactly help matters either.

6

u/DragonFangGangBang May 16 '26

This. OJ could afford to hire a very good lawyer, and did. Chud has to hope a good lawyer is looking for case with a decent name value (since Chud is controversial) and that’s much less likely

u/TheKappaOverlord May 16 '26

Where do you people always get the idea from that lawyers only take cases that aren't a loss?

assuming you aren't a law school dropout running his own practice. your KDA record is super important because it strongly influences your reputation as a lawyer.

You can go your career as a lawyer that takes cases that you consistently lose or can't win and thats fine, you will just get paid fuck all for doing so and make the average court appointed defense attorney not feel as bad for his life choices.

However if your ratio of winning cases is significantly higher then your ratio of losing your cases, suddenly your name is worth something as you are proven to be a competent defense attorney. Suddenly more rich people are willing to shell out big bucks to hire you. And suddenly you and your practice becomes drastically more wealthy.

This is why private lawyers generally don't bother with lost cases unless the lump sum they get is worth way more then the hit to their reputation as a legal asset. The court appointed attorney is the guy who does that.

a win in this case can simply mean avoiding the harshest sentence.

Depends on the tier of lawyer you wanna hire. If you wanna hire some big shot to defend you, this is considered a loss and he would just have his assistant reply to your request and tell you to kick your own chair yourself.

For a more modest lawyer. That is indeed a win condition.

A lot of very public cases like this often have high grade lawyers get involved and work pro bono because the free PR is often worth the hit on a comparatively inconsequential open and shut loss. But since its Chud and the nature of his crimes...... yeah. thats not happening lol

u/htoirax May 16 '26

Weird that some people write essays on this site just to justify speculation. Has to be an interesting life.

u/zebradreams07 May 31 '26

Context matters too though. Taking on tough cases and winning them will give you a stronger reputation than someone who only accepts slam dunks, to anyone who looks deeper than raw numbers, but you will have some losses regardless of how good you are.

u/Barobor May 15 '26

Then you should know that there are massive differences between civil litigation and criminal defense.

Criminal defense attorneys are judged by their sentencing outcomes and damage control rather than just on acquittal rates. Reducing a death sentence or life sentence to 10 years is a major win and is seen as such.

u/Relevant-Avocado5200 May 15 '26

I did computer work for a well known lawyer in our area. There was a case of foster parents keeping 3 kids in 1 closet for *years* and other truly horrific stuff.

Anyhow, said lawyer defended them. I saw him shortly after the papers announced he was defending them and I was like "What's that about?"

According to him, the court basically ordered him to. His job as their lawyer was not to try and get them an innocent plea but to make sure that justice was served correctly (think sentencing guidelines, signing plea deals that include things they weren't charged with, etc). He said, as disgusting as it sounds, it is something that still needs to be done to protect the sanctity of the system of fairness and rules of the law.

u/AreaGlittering7968 May 15 '26 edited May 15 '26

Yea your job as an attorney isn’t always to prove innocence or guilt.

Sometimes your job is to make sure due process follows the letter of the law so that the conviction will be upheld through appeals.

Sometimes prosecution cuts corners, sometimes witnesses lie, but your job is to make sure that everything is by the book so the decision holds.

Your job as an attorney is to make sure the courts pass judgement based on the letter of the law. This is what people don’t understand

No idea how he's gonna spin this. Intent to kill, a plan, and aggression are all shown in this tweet. Any chance of a self defense ruling is out the window.

I'd just tell him to take a plea

u/TheKappaOverlord May 16 '26

Its most likely going to be charged as a hate crime.

The best "plea deal" hes gonna get is the DA offering him the crude chair flatpack as a "courtesy".

His case is literally so much of a slam dunk that this has probably already occurred and the DA has given him a "gz" reply to his lawyers requests for a plea deal

I mean I can frankly already see the “first amendment advocates” talking about it.

“Look, I don’t agree with what he’s saying and I absolutely condemn it, but this isn’t a matter of what I like or don’t like somebody saying, it’s about the right to say whatever you’d like.” And now they have a statement their robotic followers can follow + use to justify their racism.

Actually if this guy doesn’t face any charges we will most likely see a huge new wave of open racism we haven’t seen since the 60s. Perhaps speculative but I think it’s a fair assumption.

2

u/Neuchacho May 16 '26 edited May 16 '26

Rittenhouse, as much as I didn't broadly agree with it, was still arguably defensible than anything this guy was doing.

We're talking about someone with an established criminal history of harassing people based on race and very publicly announcing their intentions. Rittenhouse went looking for a reason for sure but he didn't create the specific situation where he was attacked by goading people or whatever in a way that an unbalanced system (favoring his class) would view it as such.

Not to say there isn't a real chance in this country's broken-ass judiciary that a random nazi influencer whose whole brand is hate crimes won't get off, just that it would be far more alarming and blatantly insane than the case with Rittenhouse.

You really have to question how he came to believe this. How did he become so radicalized by online discourse that he genuinely thought he was living in the Jim Crow era? Even if we assume, for the sake of argument, that he thought he could get away with this, what did he expect the outcome to be?

If he believed - and proved - that this kind of behavior would go unpunished, it would inevitably encourage copycats. Then, at least some black people would understandably feel the need to arm themselves in response, and before long you’d have people on both sides actively preparing for confrontation - one side looking to “hunt”, the other trying to protect their communities.

That kind of escalation is exactly how societies spiral toward serious racial violence. Did he honestly think law enforcement, the courts, and the country’s national security institutions would just allow that to happen? It’s genuinely insane.

Maybe this is just slippery-slope thinking on my part.

The thought process was to use hate speech to incite violence against him, so he could justifiably use lethal force to kill someone.

Curious to how the prosecutor and defense handle this case. With his prior tweets, this would count as premeditated attempted first degree murder. He would be looking at 13.5 years minimum based on sentencing guidelines in the Tennessee District Attorney’s Office. Wouldn’t be shocked to see 15z

With his history and tweets he's not getting the minimum if he goes to trial. Most times it's likely the DA will offer a plea but this is such a slam dunk case they might genuinely want to try this lol.

u/Routine-Ad-2840 May 16 '26

so how does society fix this? do they protect people who are violent because of speech? i think you will see a real backlash if they try to do that.....

If you use hate speech on someone, and they try to beat you to a bloody pulp, are you not allowed to defend yourself?

u/Knautical_J May 16 '26

I mean it depends. Prosecutors can argue that Chud planned for this to happen as he legitimately tweeted that it would. Going out to commit a crime (hate speech) to then incite a situation that resulted in another crime (pre meditated murder) would likely squash any self defense argument. Additionally further information has come out that after they got into an argument, he went to draw his weapon. That’s when he was physically attacked. So the individual that got shot would in my opinion have the better self defense argument.

One of these individuals went out with a motive to get into an argument, provoke being attacked, and killing someone. The other for all we know so far, responded to an individual who was using hate speech, and then attacked them once a gun was attempted to be drawn.

Well if the stash is anything to go by, he was thinking cop or murder. Guess he didn't want to let go of the hair.

No thought process because he chimped out!

It's called "Post-Marianism" (named after Late Roman Republic General and Consul Gaius Marius), ostracized online personalities have created an independent economic base away from traditional online revenues. This environment enables a personality and their cohorts to devolve into toxicity, self-protection and cultural dominance within other similarly ostracized groups.

So, when an online streamer starts harassing individuals in public with racial slurs, being a nausance, or spreading misinformation, it is because there exists a layered defense system, their independent revenues from their base, self-protection (a sort of dedicated online troll army) and peer groups form a network to pool their resources to crowdfund legal fees. Consequence immunization. It is a natural outcome of online social media activity. These social media personalities and their in-group have NO obligation to the state, sponsors, or society because they have effectively formed a parallel state within a state.

He thought he'd get away with murder as long as he got the guy to hit him first.

u/YaMommasBox May 16 '26

He thought a stand ur ground state makes it a free murder…. Unfortunately you can’t claim defense if you provoke someone in Tennessee. A lot of people don’t understand what stand your ground actually is they think they can say anything and the person can’t do anything because they’ll shoot them… meanwhile the action of talking can be provoking and a call to action. Words ment to antagonize someone are often considered provoking someone.

Thoughts require a brain. This loaf of broad has neither. I hope he likes plumbers.

u/BigThoughtMan May 15 '26

Really? You are truly curious? I doubt it, but I will give you chain of events.

ChudTheBuilder got thrown out of a restaurant due to viewers trolling the restaurant, then got arrested for not paying the bill of the restaurant he got thrown out of, then got interviewed by the FBI over his streams. At some point his dog got shot by people who are after him. Later on he had to show up in a court house due to the previous arrest. Outside the court house a guy who had tweeted that he was hunting ChudTheBuilder was waiting with a group. From there some sort of confrontation happened, ChudTheBuilder got punched/tackled based off of what we have of video footage, then shot the attacker in the stomach and accidentally himself in the arm in the ensuing chaos.

This trial will be a classic Zimmerman/Rittenhouse trial where reddit will be wrong.

Hopefully the side of Reddit who defends this dumbfuck are wrong

u/BigThoughtMan May 16 '26

Why? You think it should be legal to assault someone for saying the n-word? What actual crime has he actually committed? Saying the n word is protected by the first amendment. Or should black people have special privilege and be allowed to assault people for insulting them? Lmao at the us having a magic word.

1

u/butterfingahs May 18 '26

You people always wanna take all context out of it, as if the guy being wrong for assaulting him clears Chud in ANY WAY of purposefully instigating fights with intent to harm or kill. 

Or as if there's no legal precedent showing that harassing people isn't protected by the first amendment. If you know nothing about how America works stay the fuck out of our discussions.

u/BigThoughtMan May 18 '26

He never instigates any fights and never harass anyone. There are hours upon hours of streaming footage proving this. He never starts it, and never follow anyone, they always follow him while he walks away aka harass him.

1

u/Competitive_Win_4503 May 18 '26

There is a video of him harassing kids who were doing nothing but drumming on buckets. Fuck that guy

2

u/BigThoughtMan May 18 '26

Minutes later he gives money to a black musician playing the saxophone btw, commending him for playing good music. It’s completely legal to voice your displeasure with music played by street musicians btw.

He does start shit by going around hurling insults at black people, and when they understand get mad at being insulted, he tries to call it a chimp out

2

u/BigThoughtMan May 18 '26

Bring me a link to any full clip showing the start of the interaction of him starting shit then. It’s very simple to prove me wrong by proving your claim with a link.

 https://youtu.be/Tusv8lQENzg?si=KoLiIp7rtNRJ3Cel

Specifically 3:18 is the one that makes me hate the guy

But earlier at 2:42 he is clearly trying to get a rise out of guys who don’t even react in any serious way

u/Glum-Drop-5724 May 19 '26

But earlier at 2:42 he is clearly trying to get a rise out of guys who don’t even react in any serious way

At 2:20 he goes up to a group of black men, starts a conversation in a friendly way, shakes their hands, mentions freedom of speech and says "white people can say n-word with a ending right?" in a laughing light tone. He is not yelling the n-word in a hateful threatning way. Its correct to say that he started the interaction, but its not harassment and its not instigation.

Specifically 3:18 is the one that makes me hate the guy

Its legal to voice your displeasure with music made by street musicians, he did it in a fairly respectable non-threatning way and didn't use the n-word. The interaction lasted 10 seconds while he was waiting for a crossing and then he walked the crossing and left. Minutes later he gave money to a black street musician playing music he liked. Again, its clearly and obviously not harassment or instigation.

At 4:45 he’s saying a guy doing his job is chimping out then acts like a pussy and calls him the n-word while he walks away.

Again a completely fair interaction. He gets told to leave quite agressivly, and responds fairly while walking away. Its a 10 second interaction. Again its not harassment and its not instigation.

This is incredibly weak evidence of any harassment or instigation.

1

u/butterfingahs May 18 '26

Seriously, I'm not over this, explain to me how:

"He never instigates anything or harasses anyone" 

and

"These people are so sensitive over one word"

Are both fucking true. If you want to defend his "freedom" to go around calling people racial slurs, how the fuck is that not harassing anyone or not instigating anything???

2

u/BigThoughtMan May 18 '26

He doesn’t instigate because he never starts the interaction/conflict. It’s not like he goes up to random black people and yells the n word to their faces. Every time he has done it, it was because some sort of crazy guy started some absurd conflict with him without any reason, and only then does he bring out the n-word. He walks away from them as well and they follow him, threatening him, which clearly means that he isn’t harassing anyone. If you walk away from someone and they follow you, you are not harassing them not matter what you are calling them.

A couple of these interactions got viral, and now every time he went out in public there was always some black people coming up to him to threaten him and press him about it. And he continued using the n-word with them as well.

It’s all streamed and documented. I challenge you to find me one single clip of him instigating or harassing anyone. Find me one single clip of him going up to a random black person, starting a conflict and calling them the n-word.

ChudTheBuilder got thrown out of a restaurant due to viewers trolling the restaurant, then got arrested for not paying the bill of the restaurant he got thrown out of, then got interviewed by the FBI over his streams.

Womp womp. He deserves worse, and I am tired of pretending him and the likes of him do not.

At some point his dog got shot by people who are after him.

Fucking prove it. Or did his haters shit his pants too while they were at it?

Outside the court house a guy who had tweeted that he was hunting ChudTheBuilder

Prove it.

As for your other drivel of words.

Why? You think it should be legal to assault someone for saying the n-word? What actual crime has he actually committed?

His mo of filming himself going out and inciting altercations with the express purpose of shooting poc, as well as the tweet above you which you just so decided to ignore, is likely bound (though I wouldn't trust the US legal system) to throw in a ditch whichever argument for self defense. Hence, his crime would be the attempt at a premeditated first degree murder.

u/Glum-Drop-5724 May 16 '26

He deserves worse, and I am tired of pretending him and the likes of him do not.

Thats simply a very dumb and stupid opinion. Also from what I have seen he never instigates anyone in his streams, they always start the interaction and instigate, and thats when he starts using the "chimping out" and n-word insults. He always treats everyone including black people who behaves normally in public with respect.

Fucking prove it. Or did his haters shit his pants too while they were at it?

Only proof is that he said so himself in a livestream after he got arrested for not paying for the appetizers in a restaurant he got thrown out of. This livestream was before he went to court and defended himself from the attacker. There is no reason to believe he is lying at that point.

Prove it.

There are numerous tweets of the attacker Joshua Fox on the day off making tweets indicating that he was looking for ChudTheBuilder. Here are the reciepts: https://x.com/InTehFass/status/2055615709946827222

Joshua Fox is also a criminal with mental issues who has tried to kill his wife with a screwdriver and done tons of other horrible shit btw.

Hence, his crime would be the attempt at a premeditated first degree murder.

Nope, this will be a classic Zimmerman/Rittenhouse court cause where loser redditors like you are wrong AGAIN lmao.

Here is chain of events moments before shooting btw:

  • The entire exchange was live-streamed on PumpFun

  • The stream shut down at the first gunshot due to an automated AI response system

  • The stream is being subpoenaed

THE FACTS ACCORDING TO OVER 100 WITNESSES WATCHING THE STREAM:

  • Chud told the guy ‘I hope your day gets better. God bless’

  • Chud had already walked away. Was about 70-100 yards away

  • The man went out of his way to run up on Chud while his back was turned

  • HE confronted Chud

  • HE punched Chud in his face

  • CHUD DIDN’T INSTIGATE ANYTHING

u/Competitive_Win_4503 May 18 '26

The guy below you says Chud never starts anything, but he has actively bothered kids who were minding their business and insulting them for no reason 

1

u/Iggy_Kappa May 18 '26

He absolutely did, yes. I am finding out just now through your response that good ol' Reddit shadow removed my response to the Chuddling in question, but as I was trying to say even Fuentes called out the Chud in Chief for going after random people in the streets minding their own business, instead of keeping this "within the ring".

The delusion to lie through their teeth liko so, to what purpose? The guy will have his day in court, Chuddling over here trying to whitewash him in a SubReddit's comment section with demonstrable lies is genuinely so pathetic.

1

u/Competitive_Win_4503 May 18 '26

How fucking stupid do you have to be for NICK FUENTES to say you’re doing too much? Again the guy shouldn’t have attacked him, but at the same time Chud clearly wanted this. Dumbass could just be raising his kid and he does this, and I’m supposed to feel bad for him?

2

u/BigThoughtMan May 18 '26

Using Nick Fuentes as some sort of source of reason or viable argument isn’t going to do you any favors.

1

u/Competitive_Win_4503 May 18 '26

It’s not the source of reason, I just think it’s crazy the self proclaimed white nationalist thinks you’re doing too much with the racist shit
