Dave Chappelle has been attacked on stage while performing a Netflix comedy show in Los Angeles.
Video from last night's Netflix Is A Joke event shows a man charging on to the stage and tackling the comedian before he is dragged off by security.
Jamie Foxx, who was watching the show from the wings of the Hollywood Bowl wearing a sheriff's hat, rushed on stage along with security to detain the attacker.
Chappelle, who sparked outrage in the trans community with comments in a Netflix show last year, appeared to be uninjured and continued with his set, joking: 'It was a trans man'.
Chris Rock, who performed later in the Netflix is a Joke event, then came on stage and joked: 'Was that Will Smith?'
And all I hear is how the alt right is the most dangerous thing in the world, yet all I see is deranged leftists pulling stunts like this.

Whoever - or whatever - did this is just an intolerant moron.
C'mon man, you know that the vast majority of 'leftists' don't buy into this sort of bollocks - at least here in the UK.

I'm pleased to see they just laughed this off but to be fair it could have been a lot worse.

We clearly live in a society where if you "offend" someone they are "entitled" to punish you.
It used to be by doxing / social media bullying / firing them / destroying their reputation / destroying their business. All this has become quite acceptable and even openly encouraged by the liberal progressive crowd, even elite politicians have engaged in this type of encouraging punishment for people who "hurt the feelings" of others. They taught people that if you don't like what someone said you have a right to destroy them.
Well, it has come home to roost. The unhinged have taken this "right to destroy" those who say something you don't like literally and people are starting to attack even people making jokes that they find "offensive".
What is next? I shudder to think but it is coming as a response to someone saying the tiniest thing that someone doesn't like.
But this behavior of taking revenge on someone who says something that hurts your feelings has become acceptable and it will only get worse.
One of the videos show him getting loaded up in an ambulance with his elbow pointed the wrong way.

The very vocal and very small minority are given far more prominence and exposure than their numbers deserve....I wonder why that is?

There's a sort of karma in the fact that the attacker seems to have injured them self. (Is that grammatically correct?)
