Dave Chappelle was attacked Tuesday night in Los Angeles by a man who rushed the stage and tackled the comedian during an event at the Hollywood Bowl. According to Los Angeles ABC affiliate KABC, the suspect, who was apprehended by law enforcement officials at the scene, was armed with both a gun and a knife.

The contentious comedian was performing at the historic Los Angeles venue as a part of Netflix Is A Joke Fest, a city-wide comedy festival sponsored by the streaming giant. Although Chappelle was not injured during the incident, video posted to social media immediately after the attack showed a group of individuals gathered on the Hollywood Bowl stage attempting to restrain — and possibly kicking — the suspect. Another video making the rounds on Twitter purportedly showed the suspect being loaded into an ambulance, his right arm visibly dislocated.

During the initial chaos following the attack, Chappelle stood offstage to gather his composure. “It was a trans man,” he said jokingly of the attacker, referencing his controversial comments about transgender individuals in his Netflix stand-up special, The Closer.

"Contentious?"

 

Lolz. Funny too, though...

Glad Dave is uninjured, at least physically so, but shit now he’ll probably disappear on us for years again.  Who could blame him?  Tranny asshole.

I really don't think the transgenders need to be smeared by the act of this one person. They're catching enough underserved shit from other directions.

From what little I know, it seems Chappelle was making a joke about the controversy a while back. It's actually quite quick and witty. It's not a slam, as far as I can tell, against transpersons although it will trigger wrong-headed response, I'm sure. Irony and wit are being slowly blugeoned to death in this country.

Correct take.  The comment above yours was not warranted. 

The person who attacked him wasn't trans. It was a reference to the hot water Chapelle's in for previous anti-trans jokes.

Chapelle's a genius, but he has some backwards-ass takes from time to time. Seems like the dude wants to make sure everyone's a little pissed off at him all the time.

Everything I don't agree with is contentious. Words are violence. 

Going to see John Mullaney at the Bowl on Saturday.  He’d snap in half if that happened to him.

He doesn’t have backwards takes. I could’ve sworn that was Lia, who, after dragging his balls all over women’s swimming, attempted to do the same with Chapelle.

And whine a tremendous amount about it at his next gig.

We have a special forum for that. 

some friends saw him last weekend at the bowl and had to lock their phones, because apparently that's something that happens now.  not sure how this footage got out, or i guess that explains why it's only 2 seconds long.

He’s been doing that since he came back.  Saw him at the track years ago during some standup ‘fest’ thing.  Had multiple announcements and security wandering around, being pretty aggressive with anyone having a phone out.  
 

His set kinda sucked

FFS, this isn’t what everyone thought?

I was just recognizing the likelihood that the remark will be lifted out of context to fuel outrage and misunderstanding. It's often the way of things.

Sucks Dave’s guys didn’t finish the job

I mean from the pictures it looks like they did a pretty good job of almost disarming him.

In a twist not only was the guy not Trans but he's a wannabe rapper who is apparently MAGA? This is a weird dude either way
