We can speculate all we want about the situation involving “Chud The Builder” and Joshua Fox…
But investigators used ACTUAL surveillance footage from the courthouse to determine charges.
Not to mention there were SEVERAL officers in the IMMEDIATE vicinity who SAW WHAT HAPPENED.
That’s why he was charged how he was.
Not because “they’re trying to make an example of him.”
Claiming he “dindu nuffin” while pretending his case is about “suppressing free speech” is inaccurate.
Or the theory that many are arguing that saying “nigger” should mean a death sentence to non white people.
Inaccurate reframing at best and total victim mentality cope at worst.
Just like most claims being pushed online by bigots, bots or the “I’m a victim” energy the BLM crowd was on for awhile.
Here’s the irony:
His schtick was built on the idea that words alone shouldn’t provoke violence.
And by police accounts of the SURVEILLANCE footage….
This started as a VERBAL confrontation.
Then HE allegedly attempted to draw a firearm and use it over an argument.
So basically HE chimped out OVER WORDS.
Either believe the police in the affidavit or…
Wait until THAT surveillance footage THEY used as a reference comes out.
To speculate without being robust about the process exposes ignorance and/or bias.
Neither are solid moves.
If HE initiated and drew a firearm….
It becomes very plausible that the victim reacted out of fear and fight or flight.
When someone draws a gun to intimidate (which is brandishing) it’s reasonable the victim defend themselves.
Eventually, the surveillance footage (and possibly the livestream) will become public and if it shows what the police allege…
All some who’ve spoken prematurely will have done is showcased their victim mentality or lack of understanding of this process.
So I’ll get ahead of this by saying..
In my view, based on the charges and statements from authorities, they clearly believe Dalton was responsible for escalating the situation.
So based on THOSE initial reports…
He’s not a martyr or a free speech hero.
He’s a horrible representation of gun owners that anti gunners will paint as the standard gun owner AND MORE SPECIFICALLY…
Will paint as most WHITE MALE gun owners.
Smart money move for those who ARE safe and responsible gun owners?
Call him the erratic gun owner he currently appears to be, which is NOT the standard gun owners hold themselves to.
Maintain that stance until new evidence proves to the contrary.
Then berobust and OBJECTIVE on that new position based on new FACTS.
Anything else is sub par tactics.
