Other videos Eatherly posted on social media outline a history of using racial slurs and at least one instance of using force against a Black person.

Eatherly’s conduct has been met with criticism, including from right-wing personalities like Nick Fuentes, a well-known White nationalist and Holocaust denier.

On Fuentes’ podcast, he was asked a question about Eatherly, to which he responded that he doesn’t like “that approach of antagonizing people in public … I think it’s wrong, it’s unethical.”

His grift was to approach and verbally provoke people for content while carrying a concealed firearm.

Rittenhouse on steroids.

1. Good.

Put him away.

2. For-profit division and Hatred For Clicks isn't quite the strength

those swimming in the shallow end seem to believe it is. I guess he's just too young to realize the past will never invite him back to reconcile his current behavior.

3. It's always the ones who you most suspect!

And really, fuck all racists and racism!

4. He posted ahead of this that his goal was to kill a "chimp" in "self-defense".

Gun-humping redneck lunatic just itching to use his pew-pew on a minority.

This is another guy with a long string of legal and mental problems who should not be allowed to be on our streets carrying a lethal weapon.

5. "and then refused to pay for his meal costing $371.55, the affidavit said"

What the hell was he eating that cost one person $371.55? Live babies?

6. He looks like he is in his 40s

I thought he would be a teen or early 20s. Not that it would make it any less worse. But doing this shit in your 40s just further shows what a loser he is.

7. "Chud the builder" is what he calls himself

"Chud" is a slang insult used to describe someone who is socially unpleasant, foolish, or politically reactionary, often with connotations of unattractiveness or boorish behavior.

Where does chud come from?
It has been theorized that chud comes from the 1980s sci-fi horror movie C. H. U. D.

“They’re not staying down there anymore!” shout the ads for “C.H.U.D.”, which stands for “Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers.” … the Chuds are bums, made radioactive and real mean by secret stashes of nuclear waste material.
—David Elliott, The Village Voice, 31 Aug. 1984

8. He calls black people racial slurs while filming

Eatherly, a white man, livestreams confrontations to social media where he can be seen and heard making racially derogatory statements to Black people in public.

In one video taken in a market, he says to a passing Black man, “You chimpin’ out,” a reference to chimpanzees. He then uses the N-word a number of times.

The Black man is seen using a cellphone to record the confrontation, telling Eatherly, “Don’t touch me.”

A clerk tells Eatherly he’s not allowed to say that word. He responds “America is free speech. Tell me I can’t say something again. This is (expletive) America.”

9. He was banned from streaming platform Kick a couple weeks ago for his content

The actual video that got him banned linked below. It's pretty disgusting racist shit. You may not want to watch but for context who he is you can see.

on edit, probably should post the video, I think it's from a prohibited source
