The Story

Why we're
standing up.

Chud The Builder is currently arrested and awaiting trial. His next court date is TBD — Pending Grand Jury in Montgomery County Circuit Court.

We're spreading the message. Americans have a right to exercise our Freedom of Speech without fear of violence or death.

For the last 3 years Chud has been attacked personally, professionally, and now physically outside a Tennessee courthouse. After being assaulted from behind, put into a headlock, and thrown to the ground, in an attempt to rightfully stand his ground and defend himself, Chud shoots at the violent thug while still on the ground and injures himself in the process. Both survive, but only one gets put through the challenge of a lifetime.

In a fair and just society we would see this 12 time convicted felon arrested for yet another Aggravated Battery and Dalton given a Medal of Honor. Instead officials threw the book at Dalton, attempting to seek a maximum of 50 years imprisonment and setting a $1.25M bond (5x higher than actual Double Homicide murderers in that county) all the while the criminal who initiated the violent assault continues to roam our streets freely.

The response from our judiciary tells a clear and damning story — we have a two-tiered justice system. Minority races that align with the political agenda of the day get preferential treatments and lenient sentences, released back into society and encouraged to continue trampling on our shared social contract.

Enough is enough.

If you're new here: follow Chud on X for the live updates, drop into the pump.fun livestream, and chip in whatever you can to his legal fund. Every share matters. Every dollar matters. Every voice matters.

We stand with Dalton.
