Shortly after the video was submitted to Reddit, it was made private by the original uploader. On the following day, Redditor Kickass_Cajun submitted the YouTube video to the /r/videos subreddit, where it received over 6,400 upvotes and 1,000 comments within the first 48 hours. The same day, Reisbeck uploaded an extended version of the KMPH news report as it was aired, including several other eyewitness accounts insisting that the man rammed his car into a PG&E worker because he was black (shown below, right). In the video, Kai recounted saving a woman from a deranged man who had just rammed a man with his car (shown below, left). On February 2nd, 2013, YouTuber Jessob Reisbeck uploaded a video featuring an interview with a homeless man named Kai from a local Fox affiliate KMPH in Fresno, California. In January 2023, Netflix released a documentary titled The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker, which notably caused a resurgence of interest in Kai and his murder case. In June 2013, Kai was then charged with the murder of Joseph Galfy and sentenced in June 2019 after a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder. On the internet, he was largely hailed as a hero early on after a local news station uploaded a video of his eyewitness account to YouTube in February 2013. Kai the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker is a nickname given to Kai Lawrence (real name Caleb Lawrence McGillvary), a man who saved a woman from an attacker by hitting him repeatedly with a hatchet.
