Dave Chappelle attacked on stage.

Deadline reports: "Dave Chappelle Attacked Onstage While Performing During Netflix Is A Joke Festival At The Hollywood Bowl." 

In one posted clip, apparently after the incident, Chappelle is heard to quip, “It was a trans man,” a reference to his own transphobic comments in his Netflix special The Closer and the uproar, protests and anger that ensued....

Another person caught the end of the show on video where Chappelle and Jamie Foxx, who apparently rushed onstage to help apprehend the man going after Chappelle....“I thought that was part of the show,” Foxx is heard to respond.

“I grabbed the back of that N*****’s head,” said Chappelle. “His hair was spongey!”

There are also reports that "Chris Rock, who performed earlier, came on stage w/ him & joked: 'Was that Will Smith?'" 

After the Will Smith incident at the Oscars, there was a lot of talk about whether it would inspire other attacks on performers, whose vulnerability on stage had been so vividly exposed.

Unstable people everywhere.

This is the natural progression of leftist influence on society. I wonder if they and their allies are prepared to reap the whirlwind.

The next step in trying to restore some sort of moral compass to America is to herd up the gays, perverts and child mutilators and lead them back to the closet.

Soon the vigilantism will emerge on the conservative side. Mass mutilation of kids will force this.

The closet is the right place for the gays, perverts and child mutilators. It will protect them and it will protect the rest of us from their depredations.

Quite the week and it's only Wednesday. We've rediscovered the existence of women, and now people are concerned about black-on-black violence.

Reporters who write lies like this are as responsible as Will Smith.

"I love black people, but I hate _____!"

Quaestor said...

Why did the Deadline editor transcribe the forbidden n-word with an uppercase n? Perhaps it was to remind us that unless the speaker is a member of the protected class, its use is a capital crime?

Leland said...

Now that it is common place for progressives to be violent against those that simply voice differing opinions; it is becoming much easier to show that they care less about freedom of expression and more about having the power to force compliance.

I can't wait to see what is next. The Great Divider is telling people to take to the streets Cloward and Piven style. I wonder when the media will clamor for his arrest for inciting the violence that we ALL know is coming.

rhhardin said...

He never seemed funny to me either.

Kate said...

It looks like Chappelle's own security took the attacker down and beat the crap out of him. Dave is rich and prepared. And still funny afterward. Legend.

“His hair was spongey!”

His head was probably spongey all the way through.

Biotrekker said...

You don't want mess with a BBlaqque dude's personal security detail. They will definitely F you up.

M Jordan said...

Will Smith will never recover. He was cucked into his slap and in the process opened the demon door. Complete fail.

Jefferson's Revenge said...

This Person, an earlier commentator, has it right. This is a natural extension of the world the liberal/progressives have created. We will see more of this from the left. Oddly, the conservatives, who have much more capability to be violent (better armed, better training/conditioning, more numerous nationally) will not respond in kind. The conservatives will just withdraw more and more into their own communities, to the detriment of the people in the "middle". It is they who will be overrun by this madness.

Unless, in November there is such a sweep by the R's that the actual rule of law is valued again in the middle without fear of being called a Nazi by a progressive Fascist.

These violent shithead leftists need to be treated like they are treating others.

They should be given no safe space anywhere.

Carol said...

Kinda funny, the collective conservative "transphobia" being expressed via uber cool black comics.

Lol.

How do you connect this to "leftist influence?"

I always thought you were "Shouting Thomas" because you were angry; now I see it's because you're loony.

Fake news. It was a setup designed to sell more tickets on his failing tour.

Amadeus 48 said...

Chappelle said he is a trans exclusionary radical feminist (terf). Is that transphobic? I guess maybe if you buy into the Rachel Dolezal theory of product management (I get to say what I am and you have to believe me). Maybe it goes a step further, namely, I get to say what you are and everyone has to believe me.

I am not playing, thanks. In fact, cash in my chips and get me a taxi.

Shouting Thomas said...

The Shouting Thomas moniker was conferred on me by a newspaper critic who reviewed a CD my late wife and I made.

We used it frequently as a stage name. It’s a reference to blues tradition and gospel preaching.

I hope the attacker paid full price for his (their?) ticket.

What struck me was this wasn't on the top of the page of Yahoo this morning, but 3 pages down. Where was it on NYTimes and WaPo?

Jeff's Revenge made reference to conservatives withdrawing into their own communities.
That will occur, but more importantly, the leftists will recoil from anything that we do and anywhere that we control. "Draconian" abortion laws are the best leftist repellent on God's green earth. The current Texas law, which went into effect 9(!) months ago, has had no effect on me, my family, anyone I know, anyone I work with. I suspect that it has repelled more than a few leftists. In the short run it may affect the tourist trade, but if it keeps Beto in futility, yay!.
We are still gaining population faster than we can find a place to put everyone. The right policies will make the population gain good for Texas, and repel the Bukwarks and worse.
And let's not let them forget that we have had Open Carry for 9 months. No blood in the streets, no increase in homicide, but fewer leftists. Win-Win.

Jefferson's Revenge said...

WTI Crude- I sort of meant their own personal communities. For the last year, since getting into a unwanted/unavoidable argument with a liberal friend of a friend who I had just met, I now informally vet all social engagements/contacts. I am in a 60/40 liberal/conservative area. Twenty years ago it was 80/20 the other way. Up until a few years ago, politics was rarely a topic of conversations socially but that has changed, driven by liberals.

Our political demographic switched due to 3 reasons; 1) People moving out of Philly to escape the city yet still voting D. 2) Kids in their 20's who were proselytized by the schools and colleges getting to be voting age. Hopefully this things won't happen to you in Texas. 3) The political class of Rs here are lousy at delivering a coherent message. The D's are better at delivering a seductive they destructive message.

Yes Howard, the totally mangled body of the perp was part of the act, these guys are really good

Robert Cook said...

"These violent shithead leftists need to be treated like they are treating others."

Is there any reporting that describes the assailant's political beliefs?

That aside, by your reckoning, should the police be treated the way many of them treat others (i.e., violently)?

Robert Cook said...

"Unless, in November there is such a sweep by the R's that the actual rule of law is valued again in the middle without fear of being called a Nazi by a progressive Fascist."

If you're not a Nazi, why fear--rather than ignore--being called that?

Oh, Robert. A few of the most obvious ways are leftist tropes such as "silence is violence," "microaggressions," needing "safe spaces" to protect yourself from harmful ideas, trying to criminalize "hate speech," and routinely calling people fascists and Hitler for having different opinions, all of which imply a right to physically assault people for the crime of having and/or expressing ideas you don't like. Add to that the months-long mostly peaceful protests that generally were excused by the left, the left's murder spree against police officers and the murder and violent assaults against Republican congressmen, and the defund the police movement which is intended to undermine the rule of law and shield leftists from responsibility for their actions, not to mention from reality. But, perhaps most obvious, the fact that Dave Chappelle is controversial and in the news mostly, if not entirely, because he made jokes about leftists' special pets, and as another famous leftist cuck recently tried to show the world, it's OK to attack people for making jokes.

Not everyone needs Jeff Bezos to tell them what to believe, Robert.

Fake news. It was a setup designed to sell more tickets on his failing tour.

As is so very often the case, the HowardTroll is utterly clueless. The Chappelle event was part of massive Netflix jokefest in close to 30 venues in Los Angeles. As it happens, I was at the Chappelle show before a capacity audience of 18,000 last night at the Hollywood Bowl when one of Howard's relatives rushed the stage during the curtain call and tackled Chappelle. A mêlée followed when security, stagehands, a rap dance group, and Chappelle himself chased after the fucktard, cornered him and beat the living crap out of him onstage.

Chappelle returned to the mic for a few words, and then returned to the scrum to get in a few more well-deserved licks. It's not clear where Jamie Fox came from, since he wasn't part of the show, but he was part of the punishment.

It was a magnificent show. One comic after another including Jon Stewart, Earthquake....and Chris Rock. I bought 6 expensive tickets and would have been fully content if it had just been Rock who could easily fill the Bowl himself. During his set, Rock was dissing all of the folks like Howard who so easily get their feelings hurt by words, and he pointed out that they don't know what 'hurt' feels like until they've been punched in the face. It was his only reference to the Oscar event until after the tackle, but during the scrum, he came onstage and asked Chappelle if that was Will Smith. Freakin' funny as hell...meanwhile the knuckleHoward was still getting pounded on stage left.

Chappelle's set was a masterclass in comedy. His most brilliant work. He's had it up to here with the trannies with whom he had tried to make peace, but they have continued to pressure Netflix to remove his specials and to cancel his future work. So he went after them. It was truly magical work. He even took a poke at Jada saying that we were all in her dream that night. He ended the show by saying that we were all in his dream last night.

The Los Angeles police said that the knuckleHoward had a plastic gun thingie that ejects a knife blade of some sort. Fortunately, much like his namesake, he was incompetent.

TMZ has a better video of the knuckleHoward.

Well blacks kill blacks quite often, with apparently BLM's ok.

So why not blacks beating up blacks on TV?

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

This would be the ultimate publicity stunt for your show.

Now, it may not be just white people wanting to go see him. I'm just saying.

Vance said...

Apparently this guy was a transgendered person “Excersing his right to silence anyone who disagrees with him!” Like Cook wants.

Too bad he found out that the right to self defense can trump your right to attack and force people to be silent. I know Howard and Cook weep at the idea that their boys might lose these attacks.

If you are squeamish, don’t look at the “after the beating” pics. They aren’t for the faint of heart.

Me: "'Is there any reporting that describes the assailant's political beliefs?'"

This Person said:

"Oh, Robert. A few of the most obvious ways are leftist tropes such as 'silence is violence,' 'microaggressions,'...yadda yadda yadda...because he made jokes about leftists' special pets, and as another famous leftist cuck recently tried to show the world, it's OK to attack people for making jokes."

And:

"Not everyone needs Jeff Bezos to tell them what to believe, Robert."

So...no. You've got nothing.

Look, the assailant could be a "leftist terrorist" or whatever, acting out his anger at Chappelle's comedy routing, but...has there been any reporting that confirms (or even suggests) that?

PM said...

Ok, so this is gonna be a thing. Every stage mgr might consider a chain link fence ala Roadhouse.

Bunkypotatohead said...

"Why did the Deadline editor transcribe the forbidden n-word with an uppercase n?"

Their style guides tell them to capitalize the b in black, so he probably assumed the n in nagger gets the same.

ccscientist said...

Why is black-on-black violence only condemned when it is comedians?

JAORE said...

Chris Rock should file charges against Will Smith right now. He can see the easily predicted effects of the slap on his fellow comedians.

Arresting Smith would send a deserved message.
