Rumors are swirling that Christopher Nolan's Odyssey will have Elliot Page as Achilles and Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy The movie isn't even out yet, but people are already calling out the possible attempt to undermine masculinity and European beauty culture
“The guy who got shot followed Chud, sucker punched him & then continued attacking him once he was om the ground?” 1. @ChudTheBuilder admitted to approaching him first. 2. No proof of a sucker punch. 3. Cops do it all the time & y’all defend it as ‘neutralizing a threat.’
THREE THINGS that very clearly demonstrate Dalton’s “Chud the Builder” self defense claims and why I think he’ll be found not guilty on the basis of self defense. A lot of people think this was another one of Dalton’s streams where he poses the “do you believe in free speech” gotcha question and then drops the N bomb on an unsuspecting minority. This is not at all the case, and it’s important in the context of his claim of self defense and whether or not Dalton PROVOKED the altercation. The first point is that Joshua Fox initiated contact. The story, as we know it so far, is that as Dalton was leaving the courthouse Joshua Fox recognized Dalton and starting pointing, laughing, and calling out to him. Joshua knew who Dalton was, recognized him in public, and made the initial move to invoke some sort of interaction between the two by taunting Dalton from across the street. Dalton then walked over to Joshua and, while we do not know the context of that conversation for certain, allegedly, Dalton only attempted to make small talk before Joshua told him to get on and to go away. This the second point - Dalton walked away. Dalton left Joshua, crossed the street back to the courthouse. At this point, the interaction was over and finished. However, Joshua Fox followed Dalton across the street and directly approached him. Then according to Dalton’s testimony, Joshua threatened Dalton by saying something to the effect of “I am a combat veteran. You’re not going to be saying all that “chimpin out” shit around me.” This is a clear verbal threat of physical harm. Dalton then says to Joshua, “Oh so you ARE chimping out?”. This is when Joshua punches Dalton in the face, knocks him onto the ground, and continues to strike Dalton. Dalton, 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥, fired shots, striking Joshua in the stomach and shoulder and sending another round into his own arm. The last shot further demonstrates the compromised position that Joshua had Dalton in and will undoubtedly be used as justification for Daltons fear of serious bodily harm or death. This was not “Joshua threw one punch and Dalton shot three times”. Dalton was sucker punched in the face and Joshua continued to assault him after being knocked down. This is exactly what George Zimmerman was acquitted for as continuing to be struck while on the ground meets the threshold for any reasonable person to believe that serious bodily harm was probable or that their life was in danger. This is when the video of the altercation begins, after the shots were fired, and Dalton wrestles a wounded Joshua over and down onto the ground. Cops break them up immediately after. This is when Dalton begins his stream on pump.fun. So, just to be explicitly clear: Dalton was not streaming, trying to provoke people to farm engagement. Dalton was simply walking out of the courthouse and was recognized by someone that had it out for him. Dalton WALKED AWAY. Joshua Fox FOLLOWED AFTER HIM. Joshua Fox assaults Dalton and continues to strike him after Dalton had fallen onto the ground. This is clear and decisive self defense. If it’s found to be not, it will just be another all too common blight on our Justice system.
It is not ok to assault someone over words. It is not ok to shoot someone for punching you. Both can be true.
If this account of the situation is accurate, this is exactly what I'm talking about The guy who got shot followed Chud, sucker punched him, and then continued attacking him once he was om the ground? Yes this warrants using a gun to protect yourself! x.com/i/status/20551…
“I walked up to them because they were pointing at me…” - @ChudTheBuilder interview with police after the incident, 🙄.

@ncaawork The correct comparison to what I said would be "Chinese people dont eat like white people" Which is absolutely true and not something I find offensive at all
@ncaawork I'm making a moral argument.

I don't care if this is considered controversial, here's the truth: Black people don't fight like white people. There are way too many videos of people having their heads stomped on, or being stabbed, or getting shot after an initial punch is thrown. Anyone saying Chud the Builder shouldn't have escalated to using a gun to defend himself is being naive. It's not like this was some barfight over a football game, where you could assume a gentleman's agreement over no use of deadly force. Chud is known for calling black people the N-word, and the guy who punched him knew who he was. I absolutely don't condone hurling slurs at random people, but I also know it doesn't justify violence. If reports are true that the black guy did start the physical altercation, Chud is absolutely justified in using potentially deadly force to defend himself.
