The comedian Dave Chapelle was attacked on stage in Los Angeles last night. He was performing a show that was being taped for Netflix. Chapelle was unhurt and his attacker was arrested.
According to The Mail Online:
Video from last night’s Netflix Is A Joke event shows a man charging on to the stage and tackling the comedian before being dragged off by security.
Jamie Foxx, who was watching the show from the wings of the Hollywood Bowl wearing a sheriff’s hat, rushed on stage to help detain the attacker.
Chappelle, who sparked outrage in the trans community with controversial comments in a Netflix show last year, appeared to be uninjured and continued with his set, joking: ‘It was a trans man’.
Chris Rock, who performed later in the event last night and was similarly subjected to a violent outburst on stage at the Oscars in March, came on stage and joked: ‘Was that Will Smith?’
Footage later appears to show the attacker being treated by paramedics for a badly injured arm before he was taken to hospital in an ambulance.
The venue said on its website that the show, which last night was titled Dave Chappelle and Friends, would be a ‘phone-free experience’ and that the audience would have to secure their phones inside pouches.
After the attacker was detained, Chappelle thanked Foxx on stage during the curtain call.
He said: ‘Shout out to Jamie Foxx by the way. Whenever you’re in trouble, Jamie Foxx will show up in a sheriff’s hat.’
The attack may be unrelated to Chappelle’s previous comments on trans issues but it probably is.
I’ve received several threats over the years after shows where I’ve discussed the issue.
Last year, someone sent a message through the website threatening to kill me if I continued to mis-gender trans women.
Of course, there’s no such thing as a trans woman but you cannot reason with lunatics.
Jamie Foxx, in the wings, wearing a Sheriffs hat – RRRRREALLY? LMAO…

Remember the trend a few years back of ‘punch a Nazi’ (the term for anyone the woke didn’t agree with)?
Well, it could be argued that Will Smith has recently re-inspired and given greater legitimacy to that position.

Delighted to see he was left like a legoman with his arm on back to front the fuckin idiot wont try that again

You really can’t reason with lunatics, but it also seems you can’t reason with the ‘average Joe’ anymore either. You join a discussion on a forum, but your opinion is ‘different’ from that of those who see themselves as the voices of reason and moral righteousness. You put your argument in a friendly and polite way, then the mob descends on you, some even muting you or blocking you when you’ve said nothing bad but they just don’t want to hear it. The weird thing is, they twist or misunderstand everything you say when it’s quite clear. Whether they do it on purpose or they’ve all gone a bit mental I don’t know. But you watch out for the lunatics Richie, though hopefully they’d need to watch out for you.

Apparently the bigger online activity is coming from bots, does that mean that most of these ‘average Joe’s’ are actually bot’s? That would explain why the point is being missed completely because they are just programmed to disagree regardless.
Report
Yes, good point. I’m sure some of them are, but I also know a lot of the ones I’m talking about on my local forum are not, so probably a mix.
Report
Yes, very likely a mix of people and bots that could be looking for others to jump on board with to pump up the numbers, 77 Brigade, 13 Signals two army units of trolls that likely have a number of bots as well lots of people obeying commands, you could call them Bio Bots.
Report
Yes, that makes sense, especially with a few of those people I’m talking about at least.

By focusing users’ attention on endless personal trivia, social media have universalized narcissism. It’s hard to penetrate the self-obsession of a narcissist.

In contrast to the comic Dave above, causing outrage for being non woke. Recently i saw a comedian auditioning on Britain’s got talent on ITV. He was widely applauded by both the audience and judging panel. One of his jokes related to how he wanted to call his new baby something topical like Pfizer. I wonder how many laughs he would have got had he said he was going to call his baby Death Jab.
People are led to believe that the state see everyone as equal and bigotry and discrimination is a thing of the past. Yet its considered perfectly expectable to ridicule anybody’s spiritual beliefs unless Muslim or Jewish. Advertise for black or female candidates, and attack and ridicule anti vaxers, non covid believers or people that believe there are only two genders. The truth is its expectable to be as offensive or discriminately as we like. As long as its aimed at the right people. Politically correct people and Woke agenda in, everyone and everything else out.
Regarding that woke agenda, on the same show a couple of weeks ago. A primary school, sent a group of children 7 years old to the auditions. This 7 year old little boy, when asked what things he enjoyed doing. Replied by saying, ” My real passion is about saving the planet.” What followed was a performance of music and poetry, peddling the ”we are destroying the planet agenda”. Which of course was welcomed to rapturous applause. I wonder how many applause the children would have got with this little ditty.
” Climate change is all a big con, they see us a cancer and want us all gone.
Stop the peasants traveling and stop them having fun.
Whilst we kill them with fake vaccines , its more humane than the gun.”
What chance have we got of turning the tide of insanity. When children as young as 7 years old are indoctrinated with Cabal fake science in primary school. Then sent to Cameron’s Hitler youth camp, as written about yesterday. Where they can all choose from a multitude of genders, whilst no doubt being terrified by climate change propaganda.

Brilliant, and spot on.
