18:01Now PlayingAndrew Branca is warning conservatives and online commentators that they may be completely misunderstanding the legal reality of the Chud the Builder case.
This is not a First Amendment case. It is not a “reverse the races” case. And none of the broader public policy grievances being discussed online will matter to the jury deciding whether Chud acted lawfully under Tennessee self-defense law.
Andrew explains why the internet’s emotional reaction to the shooting may have little connection to how an actual courtroom works, why provocation still matters legally, and why arguments about crime statistics, race, or political double standards are unlikely to help Chud at trial.
The legal system will not ask whether the internet sympathizes with Chud. It will ask whether his conduct satisfied the legal requirements for self-defense under Tennessee law.
