Was the guy arrested? If so, is Dave pressing charges? Will Smith did it on national TV and got away with it.
Rich people can get away with anything lol. Think them mfers are paying taxes? Nah

how often has someone intentionally killed someone with one punch


If we're counting people who got punched once and hit their head when they fell, a lot. And then there are the ones who hit their head and go into a coma.

No, Will Smith didn't start it, unless you've lived on earth for like two months and that's all you know.

Comedians getting attacked on stage has been a thing since forever.

And Anthony jeselnik said that he steals his nine year old next door neighbors glass eye. And Sarah Silverman said the best time to get pregnant is when youre a black teenager. And Richard Pryor said white people have small dicks. And Daniel tosh said that vin diesel is a mentally challenged gorilla.

he even quoted JK Rowling, about how "gender is a fact", and said that he's team TERF.

I know, I watched the special. And then he said a lot of other things.

you know what a lot of comics do? They take the unpopular opinion to be controversial, and then they make it funny

I dont care about what you think of Dave chapelle, but I do care about the integrity of standup comedy and comedy in general. There is humor in the darkness. There is humor in racism, sexism, death, aids, anything.

if youre offended by it, thats fine, but you are amused by something that offends somebody else. Its your choice to listen to it or not. Just dont.

what did I say that contradicted any of this?

I was saying that he made transphobic comments, ones he made as jokes and others, like my posts referred to, that weren't.

but because people like Dave, they want to say, "he actually meant this", "he was creating a dialogue", etc. when he clearly says what he believes.

I personally wasn't offended by his set, but I could see how others could be.

You dont get to decide what are jokes and what arent

you dont get to decide how he feels or says

and people dont get to assault people because they dont like the jokes theyre telling

assaulting people is bad. Jokes are jokes.

This stuff was happening before Will Smith. It's just not huge news if it's not Will Smith. A bunch of stories were brought up due to the Will Smith thing. But, that also doesn't mean it absolutely can't be motivated by it. And, I don't think it ever happened to Dave.

good thing I was going over what he said about how he felt about it rather than deciding for myself.

if he's quoting someone accurately, and and says it's something he agrees with, you're just going to write it off as a joke, and say that people who don't aren't listening to what he's saying?

that's interesting.

i mean people had been wanting to swing on Dave for a minute anyway. I dont think will smith is what really caused this.

Comedians have always risked getting they ass beat.

Doesn't saying "people wanted to swing on Dave for a minute" then someone finally doing so after Will Smith only serve to prove his point?

that's not really comparable, as comedians go on to different jokes/segments during their sets, which can last for a few minutes.

Dave chappelle is going to have to drop the charges and pay a big sum to the attacker.

There's a video of the aftermath where Dave and his crew are just stamping on him and beating the guy half to death. Which is far worse than what that guy did

If Will Smith ever tried to slap Dave Chappelle, his mom is going to send him to live with his aunt and uncle in Bel-air

That beatdown will teach other idiots to not to fuck with Dave Chappelle during his shows.

Goes to comedian known for being offensive and edgy. Gets so offended tries to attack comedian. Gets ass beat.

That person is fucking stupid. If Dave is going to offend you why would you go?

Has the part about them bringing weapons been authenticated? If so then the attack was even pre-planned. Adds another level to the story.

Did they go too far? Ya probably. But if the dude didn't attack Dave it wouldn't have happened. There are consequences. Same as when people are sad burglars get the shit beat out of them. Oh no the poor burglar. If only there was a way for them to have avoided getting an ass beating...

If there's anyone who actually deserved to get attacked on stage during an act it was when Michael Richards straight up called a heckler in the audience the n-word. It wasn't part of the act, it wasn't a joke. Michael Richards just said "HE'S A (N-WORD)! HE'S A (N-WORD)!" because he was mad at the guy for heckling him. If that man had went back and punched Michael Richards, I don't think anyone would've blamed him.

Thankfully Michael Richards' career was dead after that so he paid a heavy price for that. But he definitely deserved to be punch too.

I won't post the link to the video here because I'll probably get modded if I do but you can easily find it on YouTube.

Oh and news reports are now saying the person who attacked Dave was a trans person.

I'm not saying it was right for that trans person to attack Dave but.......I'm not sure what the hell else Dave expected after making the comments that he did. C'mon, he was pretty much asking for some crazy person (trans or not) to attack him.
