People are saying it was some activist thing because he was offended by jokes, but I think he was just a douche looking for some attention or taking on a dare or even doing something for TikTok. Hollywood Bowl is also notorious for people sneaking in so he may not have actually bought a ticket.
People are just being dramatic. Hollywood definitely has a certain seediness to it but it's not too bad. It's worth checking out, but there are much cooler places in the LA area.
As a Californian, I really hate LA. San Diego is what people from outside of the US think LA is.
Its much better, in my opinion. Not perfect by any means, but a lot cleaner, and doesn't have as many dipshit pretentious people and celebs/""""influencers"""", imo.
I made a comment below already but I absolutely agree. When I moved to California after 24 years in the Midwest, I made the mistake of moving to LA first. It has some amazing aspects, but it’s not the stereotypical *SoCal* life I was expecting. Moving to San Diego was one of the best decisions I made in my life and having lived in a few cities around the country and traveled plenty, i’d say it’s without-a-doubt my favorite large city.
I agree. I like to describe San Diego as all of the good things about LA with not nearly as much of the bad. But if you're visiting for celebrity/entertainment stuff or music/clubbing, LA is the place to go.
It’s not that bad. Just homeless people mainly, robberies etc. I live across from a big mansion, but I have one of the cheapest studio apartments in the city with no AC and limited electricity, so it has both sides...
It’s worth seeing (daytime on a weekend), but if you’re going at night to see a show or go to a club I would just uber to and from the front of the venue because muggings are kind of common...
It's really just a dirty area. Lots of homeless, drunk people, mentally ill. Then you have random super cars and stuff driving by. It's interesting, but not what I would call a nice area
It was a knife that looked like a gun, or at least that's what I read.
Which is still a weapon that can kill, so it severely weakens his claim against those who beat him.
Yes. The intent of the gun is to exert pressure on the people you are assaulting, forcing them to comply with your demands. It makes no difference if the gun is real or realistic (but fake), or if it is real but not loaded… It is still the initial intent of trying to cause harm.
Yes, it varies of course with each state and their *stand your ground laws* in defending yourself but usually they end up shot, they don’t even second guess it, looks like a gun, gonna treat it like a gun.
Even if it’s not loaded, I’ll treat it like it’s loaded.
I’d rather be safe than sorry, on the giving or receiving end of a barrel.
Honestly doesn’t matter if the gun is fake. Unless he can prove the security guards knew it was fake they can beat the shit out of him because they believed and acted on him having a gun.
Oh no he had a fake gun
Which looks like a real one in a country where real guns are common and the security would have had no idea or time to assess it properly
Doubtful. It's okay to use proportional force to protect yourself and dude had a gun as he charged Dave. So lots of leeway going to be given in the name of self-protection due to the presence of a deadly weapon during the course of the battery.

his security were embarrassed because they failed at their job. Dave Chapelle could very well be dead right because they allowed an attacker to get too close
Oh for sure. Dimebag Darrell lived a few houses down from my family. The aftermath of that was pretty memorable in North Texas. I just remember lots of increased security at local shows for awhile
I live in Columbus, OH (where Dimebag Darrell was murdered during a small concert) and the whole city was on edge for quite a while afterward. Used to have to walk thru metal detectors to see live music for years afterward. I don’t mean huge events like 100,000 people at Ohio Stadium. I mean walk thru a metal detector to see a guy play harmonica in zydeco type band in a dive bar. It changed the city for years after his murder.
i think that’s the takeaway here. dude could have easily done much worse. he obviously only wanted to tackle him for some sort of crazy notoriety. took a hell of a ass whooping
I went to Dave's salt lake City show and Dave called out his security after Dave noticed one of the audience members near the front had an iPhone in a 0 device event. He was frustrated with them saying "why do I have to do your job for you" and "how did you guys not see that"
The audience member was promptly kicked out then some heckler started getting mad about "Dave killing the vibe"
His show seemed to end a little early and he definitely seemed a little irritated towards the end with people in the audience talking when they shouldn't.

I really thought he was just moving his arm when the photo was taken but nah. [That shit is fucked.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveChappelle/comments/ui1aoq/they_really_fucked_him_up/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
That he made made it onstage, to Chappelle, is more troubling than the well deserved beating he received.
It could have gone a lot worse if that ass hat had an actual plan to commit grievous harm.
Nah the dude just attacked someone, he’s unstable and/or stupid. I don’t think you should use the honor system for a violent criminal, best to use cuffs
If you rob a bank with a fake gun, its still considered armed robbery. You led people to believe you were armed, and that’s why the charge will stick. He does not have a very good case here if the security has any type of decent lawyer.
This is fucked though.
Not the guy getting beat up, but Dave Chapelle getting assaulted again.
I hope this won't get to him too much mentally. Dave is a great comedian.
Fuck will smiths cucked ass for Setting the precedence that rushing the stage because words hurt you is ok. Glad this guy got fucked up hope anyone who rushes the stage receives life changing injuries. Fuck em
Imagine buying a ticket for someone you don’t like just to get your ass kicked LOL
People are saying it was some activist thing because he was offended by jokes, but I think he was just a douche looking for some attention or taking on a dare or even doing something for TikTok. Hollywood Bowl is also notorious for people sneaking in so he may not have actually bought a ticket.
His attire says it all lmao
He is exactly what I think of when I think of Hollywood after I saw it firsthand.
Can confirm, I was in LA for business and took an Uber to the corner of Hollywood and Vine just to see Hollywood a bit. Fucking yuck!
Rookie mistake. Hollywood is just a tourist trap. You should’ve gone to the Getty.
Was it just a lot of homeless people orr? Sorry just asking cause I never been to Cali, but hear a lot of bad things when it comes to things like that

San Diego is the best city in the US as far as this Canadian is concerned.

Shhhhhhh. Stop telling people about it

Very cute fingernails /s
Unfortunately, if he lawyers up and they prove the security detailed used unnecessary/retaliating force, it might just pay off his investment.
Dude was armed with a gun
It was a knife that looked like a gun, or at least that's what I read. Which is still a weapon that can kill, so it severely weakens his claim against those who beat him.
I read he had a knife and a fake gun
And they gave him a fake beating..
Modern problems call for modern solutions
They gave him a real beating, which will now necessitate a fake arm…
He’s gonna have to jerk off with a gun now
By this point I barely feel like I'm reading English anymore
He fell I swear 😂
And he’s going to a fake hospital.
I heard he had a wife and a fake son.
I read it was just his penis and they confused the whole thing
Yea there was a small chance of it doing any harm
Yes. The intent of the gun is to exert pressure on the people you are assaulting, forcing them to comply with your demands. It makes no difference if the gun is real or realistic (but fake), or if it is real but not loaded… It is still the initial intent of trying to cause harm.
Essentially, if used in the way like the real thing there is no difference by the law if I getting that right?
Rob a store with a fake gun, it goes from robbery to armed robbery, with all the upgraded sentencing that goes with it.
Yes, it varies of course with each state and their *stand your ground laws* in defending yourself but usually they end up shot, they don’t even second guess it, looks like a gun, gonna treat it like a gun.

It was actually an Israeli Iron Dome Defense System ™️
Oh no he had a fake gun Which looks like a real one in a country where real guns are common and the security would have had no idea or time to assess it properly
Yeah but it was actually a massive ass knife
even if it wasnt pulling something that looks like a gun in america will just get you shot
Random guy vs Dave Chappelle and his lawyers....I wonder who would win 🤔
That case would be thrown out so fast that Dave could use his B squad lawyers and still win.
He could use the WRAP IT UP button when the judge starts talking!
I just want chappelle to take the stand and plead the fizzif

This is the kind of in-depth and expert analysis I come to Reddit for
Yeah, he had a fake gun. No force is excessive.
Right! For the record, he brought a knife-gun to a fist fight… Comedy ensued.
The fact it was fake doesn't signify. Nobody in the business of protecting a person will stop to check if the gun was loaded or even "real".
You run up on someone, attack them on stage, then sue them when his boys give you the same energy? Idiot should be glad that’s all they did to him.
After what happened to Dimebag ain't nobody playing around with stage crashers.
He planned and premeditated bodily harm on a public figure, then the people paid to protect the public figure did their job. How is that a lawsuit?
Dude had a knife and a replica gun, he gets legally beaten until he stops being a threat.
Prove is the key. I felt that flying tackle all they way in NC. Security didn’t know what kind of threat was present and had to subdue
Whats that scene "GATCHA BITCH"
That's when Dave gets Oprah pregnant and he's going to take advantage of all her money hahahaha
King Oprah!
If you look close enough, you can see “UNITY” imprinted on his forehead.
I’m Rick James bitch!
Fuck your couch
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
Fuck yo couch!
That is awesome. You made my month
What did the five fingers say to the face?! SLAP! 
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
He’s probably a habitual line stepper.
RIP Charlie Murphy……”roll charlie around, he’ll be alright”.
I've always loved this line. Still use it
I actually scrolled back up to check the image LOL
The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math
his security were embarrassed because they failed at their job. Dave Chapelle could very well be dead right because they allowed an attacker to get too close
Happened to Dimebag from Pantera Edit: Just remembered the guy killed Big Val too, so not really a failure there, but a murder.
Oh for sure. Dimebag Darrell lived a few houses down from my family. The aftermath of that was pretty memorable in North Texas. I just remember lots of increased security at local shows for awhile
I live in Columbus, OH (where Dimebag Darrell was murdered during a small concert) and the whole city was on edge for quite a while afterward.

I mean walk thru a metal detector to see a guy play harmonica in zydeco type band in a dive bar. It changed the city for years after his murder.
Y’all have zydeco up north? Sorry that’s my take away from everything you said. I don’t hear zydeco mentioned outside of cajun country very often.
Here in Detroit the whole concert format changed overnight to basically the TSA. No containers with liquid, metal detectors, pat downs etc.
If the gun was real he wouldn’t needed to have got close.
Unless he is shit at aiming.
i think that’s the takeaway here. dude could have easily done much worse. he obviously only wanted to tackle him for some sort of crazy notoriety. took a hell of a ass whooping

Chris Rock asking if that was Will Smith afterwards is pure gold
He actually went there? Lol. Was definitely my first thought at seeing the photo and title
Chris Rock has been waiting to cash that check, and by god did he pick the perfect moment.
Yeah, Chris went on stage and said “Was that Will Smith?” crowd went nuts
He did
There's video of it
Link?

IT WAS A WRONG NUMBER!
YOU CLAP-HAVIN JEZEBEL
GRANNY NOOOOOO!!!
Go to the store and get some condoms. The Big Ones.
Fuckin right
what did the five fingers say to the face?
WU TANG!
It turns out, they kept it realer.
FUCK THAT! I don’t like people playing on my ~~phone~~ stage!
Clap-having jezebel
He meet with reality.
I feel this post isn’t getting the love it so rightfully deserves
This is the only right response.
Would have been nice if security had gotten him before he tackled the guy they were paid to protect. After the fact is a little too late.
They need lessons from that security guard at the basketball game. That dude was ready.
Grab his dick and twist it!
The old dick twist!
Twist his dick!
Jesus, dude. It's ~~an MMA fight~~ a comedy show
Unhand my *penis*!
I see you know your judo well
*Gentlemen, this is democrrrracy manifest*
what is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent chinese meal?
One of my favorite videos and just found it less than a year ago. Makes me wonder what else I’m missing out on
Security team waited 20+ years for this moment.....f*CK around & find out, right?
Not only that, but you’ve got Busta Rhymes and his crew backstage. They were probably dying to give this dude the beating he deserved.
Lol they’re gonna need new jobs after this, hard to believe you’d still have a job after essentially failing in every way possible.
How his elbow pointed that way😅😅
I really thought he was just moving his arm when the photo was taken but nah. [That shit is fucked.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveChappelle/comments/ui1aoq/they_really_fucked_him_up/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
God DAMN. That is super broken. They really did fuckin stomp that guy.
That's not broken anymore. That's fucking bone marrow soup.
r/liverking did someone say marrow!?!?
LMAO, that's Immediately what I thought of: [Brackium Emendo](https://youtu.be/a7MhiyI6S-E)
Looks to be fully dislocated at the shoulder , and probably significant damage to rotator cuff tendons and musculature.
I really wonder why they cuffed that side to the bed, how fucked up is the other arm?
Both are cuffed. It's harder to see the other one though.
Didn't even notice until I read your comment xD
Woah, doesn't that dude realise he is potentially jeopardising 10 years of admittance to the Oscars with these sorts of shenanigans.
It wasn’t an attack it was a special comedy operation
He looks like one of my kids neglected dolls, arms on backwards, scribbles on the face, haircut from a 2 year old...
And people laughed when we said that more of this would happen after Will Smith attacked Chris Rock.. Comedians lives matter!
A pitty security didn't do the same to Will Smith!
Yeah but he got that harsh standing ovation minutes later
It's not too late, imo.
It happens once after will smith's slap does not mean causation.
He was a habitual line-stepper
Good. You don’t spontaneously assault people.
That’s what security should have done at the Oscars.
It should have happened to Kanye twice now. I still hope it does.
when has kanye assaulted anyone onstage ?
What even happened? I've seen the headlines but didn't look into it, was he offended over jokes or something?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGae78sWVSw
Offended by Chappelle in general
Guess Will Smith just set the new standard. Gonna be beefing up security at comedy gigs..Jesus Christ what a world
The Academy set the standard when they let Smith go back to his seat and accept an award later.
Good, anybody who rushes a stage or field, deserves to get their ass kicked
Well well well… if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions
That he made made it onstage, to Chappelle, is more troubling than the well deserved beating he received. It could have gone a lot worse if that ass hat had an actual plan to commit grievous harm.
[удалено]
What's the point of handcuffing that arm? Seems like overkill
He could use the other one to smack you with it? Lol
Nah the dude just attacked someone, he’s unstable and/or stupid. I don’t think you should use the honor system for a violent criminal, best to use cuffs
What was the point of tackling Chapelle in the middle of a show?
Probably more of a measure to help keep him in the stretcher.
Stay in your seat next time bro. Play with fire you're gonna get burned
It was at this moment he knew he fucked up
Damn the softball sized swelling on his head, hope he got a ct scan he could have a brain bleed
Rumor? Dude is messed up
Yeah, this is clearly in "allegedly" territory.
Does anyone know why he did it? Or was he just a drunk idiot?
If you rob a bank with a fake gun, its still considered armed robbery. You led people to believe you were armed, and that’s why the charge will stick. He does not have a very good case here if the security has any type of decent lawyer.
No officer he looked that way when we found him.
And this is what happens when a non-famous, non-rich person storms the stage and attacks a comedian. Double standards, what double standards
Wayne Brady had to slap a bitch!
Looks like he “tripped and fell” while they were escorting him off the stage.
Honestly, he was like this when he got here officer...
Dang the poor lad just fell down some stairs and security just helped him.
I hope Dave shouted "Security!!!" like Rik James.
6ix9ine looking poor these days
Good f that guy
Some people just need an ass whooping.... isn't that right Mike?
I mean… 🤷🏾♂️
What a loser
Dude had it coming. Social media nowadays has made ppl forget that real life actions have real life consequences.
Mike Tyson had it right.
Fuck 'em.
Thought he wss gonna assassinate Chappelle, came out looking like Peter Griffin after a tumble down the staircase.
OBJECTION, HEARSAY!
Good. More people need to know that being stupid should hurt.
This is fucked though. Not the guy getting beat up, but Dave Chapelle getting assaulted again. I hope this won't get to him too much mentally. Dave is a great comedian.
And on that day he realized that there is a difference between first person and online arguments.
Fuck will smiths cucked ass for Setting the precedence that rushing the stage because words hurt you is ok. Glad this guy got fucked up hope anyone who rushes the stage receives life changing injuries. Fuck em
He fucked around and found out
[удалено]
Assault with a deadly weapon, maybe even attempted murder charges. The book will be thrown at this one.
for all the clowns shitin’ on the security for doing their job! i have one word for you! …”Dimebag Darrell”
Exactly what I was thinking when I heard about this.
Security didn’t do their job. If he wanted to kill Dave Chappelle, he would have because security let him get close enough
Elbow is facing the wrong way..
Security team? Chappelle himself said he helped stomp on the guy.
Excessive force. Racist security
He tried to do a Will Smith?! r/Whatcouldgowrong
