Judge Defies Threats to Uphold Law

A Nashville judge is sparking national attention by locking up controversial streamer Chud the Builder after he disrupted a restaurant, refused to pay, and hurled racial slurs on camera — all while live-streaming. Judge Melissa Blackburn revoked his bond, citing enough evidence to move forward with charges including theft and disorderly conduct. But the fallout? She’s been bombarded with threats over social media and phone calls — and she’s not backing down, insisting her duty to uphold the law trumps intimidation. The case gets even darker: Eatherly also faces attempted murder and aggravated assault charges from a courthouse shooting days later. Now held without bond and headed to a grand jury, Blackburn stands firm — warning that threats against her are threats against justice itself.
