Dalton Eatherly, WHO streams as "Chud the Builder," was arrested and charged with attempted murder after a shooting outside the Montgomery County Courthouse in Clarksville, Tennessee on Wednesday. Authorities say the confrontation outside the courthouse involved an exchange of gunfire; Eatherly was booked on attempted murder charges and investigators opened a criminal probe. Eatherly is known for livestreaming racially derogatory statements directed at Black people in public settings, conduct that had already drawn local attention. The case matters because it turns provocative public harassment into an armed courthouse confrontation, raising questions about how authorities monitor and respond to behavior that can escalate into violence.
