The guy had a knife that he was going to use on Chapelle. The proper amount of physical force was used to stop the guy from completing his attack. Prove that isn’t true in a court of law.

[Avalon Memories]

Of course, nowadays anybody can file a nuisance lawsuit.

One of the many ways the American experiment went awry is that somewhere along the line judges began allowing frivolous lawsuits that should have been thrown out on their face.

[Sacajaweau]

Now if he told them to break his arm...it would be different...This was simply karma

[Carriage Hill]

What about all those idiots, years ago, who spilled hot coffee in their crotches, and sued the McD’s etc, for millions? America’s lost its collective mind.

[EEGator]

The knife was in a backpack and he didn’t bring it onstage.
That’s why he’s being charged with a misdemeanor instead of a felony.

[FES0844]

He’s a comedian. Just joking. Not guilty.

[Sacajaweau]

Bet that gets walked back.

[llevrok]

You think a jury will find against Chappelle, when they see the person attacked him?A California jury might.

[V_TWIN]

Yeah I heard that.....unbelievable

[Dr. Sivana]

Of course, nowadays anybody can file a nuisance lawsuit.

Yes, but he has the resources to be an even bigger nuisance. It helps that his persona can shake this sort of stuff right off.

[EEGator]

I’m surprised I got it in before you.

[leaning conservative]

Agree, but it’s insane world now.

"The knife was in a backpack and he didn’t bring it onstage."

What moron let him in with a backpack? That's usually one of the first things that are searched, or are restricted from being allowed to bring in to public events.

[Gay State Conservative]

What fool serving on this jury would vote to find Chappelle responsible??? This sounds like a filthy lawyer looking for a quick,easy settlement...a small one...and a lot of free publicity.

[FormerFRLurker]

Self defense is a crime now? I guess the race card is only valid for black folks who don’t challenge the trans narrative.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

The pronouns for all the "men" on the jury will be she/her/hers and the pronouns for all the "women" will be he/him/his.

Chappelle is toast.

[EEGator]

That, and why in God’s name would you disguise a less dangerous weapon as a more dangerous weapon?…
