(MS NOW) "In the weeks before he allegedly shot a Black man outside a Tennessee courthouse on Wednesday, a racist streamer known as 'Chud the Builder' filmed himself walking down busy streets in and around Nashville, shouting 'n—–,' 'chimps' and other slurs at Black people, threatening violence if they retaliated."

"In a post on X, he fantasized to his fans about how these confrontations might eventually lead him to commit justified murder."

“ 'Series finale is dead chimp on the pavement and you monkeys rioting when I walk free,' he wrote on X. 'Stay tuned.' "

"His fans tuned in. On Wednesday, prosecutors alleged the streamer, whose real name is Dalton Eatherly, opened fire on a Black man outside the Montgomery County Courthouse in Clarksville. His supporters rewarded him handsomely; Eagerly’s small net worth skyrocketed in the hours and days that followed, thanks in part to a crypto-based streaming platform that helped turn him into one of the internet’s most odious, dangerous and viral characters."
