TMZ has released video where Chappelle can be heard talking about the attacker’s injuries and appears to be happy about the outcome.
“I felt good my friends broke his arm,” Chappelle is heard saying in the video.
Those words could cost Chappelle if a civil suit is filed.
“It is very possible that Dave Chappelle’s own words, where he says that he roughed the guy up, can be used against him in a potential civil manner down the line,” Triessl said.
The Hollywood Bowl may not be off the hook either.
Despite confiscating patrons’ cell phones ahead of the show, the security team somehow missed a replica gun that contained a knife blade.
“The Hollywood Bowl or the promoters involved in this show, including Netflix, may be facing civil liability for their lapse of security. Something went very wrong here,” Triessl said.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

"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.

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.
To: BenLurkin
Self defense is a crime now? I guess the race card is only valid for black folks who don’t challenge the trans narrative.
To: nickcarraway
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.
To: mass55th
That, and why in God’s name would you disguise a less dangerous weapon as a more dangerous weapon?…
