India, May 15 -- Two competing crowdfunding campaigns have exploded following the shooting involving Dalton Eatherly, known online as "Chud the Builder," and Joshua Fox outside the Montgomery County Courthouse in Clarksville, Tennessee.

One fundraiser hosted on GiveSendGo has raised more than $138,000 for Eatherly and his family, far surpassing its original $100,000 target. A separate campaign on GoFundMe for Fox and his family has collected more than $62,000 toward a $75,000 goal.

The GiveSendGo campaign, titled Help the Chud and his family, was created by Eatherly himself. In the fundraiser, he says he launched his Tennessee contracting business after previously losing a job due to backlash over his online posts.
