Comedian Dave Chappelle attacked on stage while performing at Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles

Comedian Dave Chappelle was attacked during a show in Los Angeles Tuesday night after a man reportedly jumped on stage. The alleged attacker was injured in the attack and was carried away in an ambulance, according to reports.

Videos of the incident appear to show the man jumping onto the stage at the Hollywood Bowl, where Chappell was performing his standup routine for his Netflix Is A Joke tour, when he attempted to tackle the comedian.

He was swiftly taken away by security and other individuals, who appeared to repeatedly hit the man just off-stage, videos appear to show.

Immediately following the attack, Chappelle remained on stage and thanked security, before joking about the incident and describing the individual who attacked him as a "trans man."

Chappelle makes several jokes about the trans community in his standup routine and even boasted during Tuesday night’s performance that he has been recently forced to increase his security amid new threats.

The attack reportedly happened as Chappelle was ending his show.

Another video appeared to show the attacker being carted away by paramedics, with a crowd of people booing and cussing at him. Several police and emergency response vehicles could be seen at the venue in various videos.

At least one individual who was armed with a gun and knife was taken into custody, following the attack, police said.

I was never a Michael Savage listener, but I do concur that “Liberalism is a mental disorder.”

And the trannys are a particularly disordered subset.

This reminds me....a friend of mine has a relative working in a southern sheriff’s department. The county jail is in the basement of the courthouse. When a child or wife beater are arrested, they always trip and fall down the steps on the way to their jail cell.

Well we do not know the color of the assauters skin, but what we do know is that “IT” was transgender.

Apparently Chapelle closes his comedy sets with a l;ot of transgender jokes . What that means is that Chappelle is using ridicule to effectively counter the transgender messagng on things like women’s sports, boys using girls washrooms, and women competing against biological males in sports. What a rich bed of comedy material!

“Muriel...how cme you never sit down on the toilet to pee?” kind of comedy. Gets the LGBTQ community really triggered to hear thousands of p[eople laughing about it.

Chappelle is doing the good Lords work IMHO.

Chapelle got a belly laugh out of me when he told a crowd, “Those I REALLY FEAR are WHITE people!”

Chapelle’s act on Juicy Smolleyay is perhaps one of my favorites.

Yellow Springs just approved 24 shows for Chappells venue. (Progressive Climate Change concerns over the 1000 audience)
Wonder if the opposition will bring this up to add to their concerns of drawing undesirables (deplorables?) to their idyllic neighborhood?

A man has been arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after an on-stage attack on US comedian Dave Chappelle.

The suspect had been carrying a replica handgun that contained a knife blade, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Police Department told BBC News.
