Dave Chappelle was attacked on stage. Question is, should he fire his security staff?

[MCheetah]

Chappelle was attacked on stage by a "man" who tried to tackle the 168 pound comedian, but barely knocked him off his feet. His security was late to jump in and when they did, they both slipped and fell on their butts. They eventually caught the guy and f*cked him up so bad, he had to be taken to the emergency room and looked like his arm was twisted the other way, with his elbow facing in front. Chappelle was unharmed but the 23 year old attacker did have a knife on him, even though it wasn't used.

Should Chappelle fire his security staff for dropping the ball, before dropping on their asses?

I worked in executive protection for a year in 2013 and I assure you I wouldn't have gotten anymore work after this, if this was me. Were these guys busy on Twitter or something?

Yes, Chappelle could've gotten hurt and they knew a lot of people currently don't like him. Plus, they slid and fell on their behinds.

No, they kept him safe and they eventually beat the crap out of the attacker, sending a message to anyone else who would try such a thing.

Don't know/don't care. Results please.

I heard the guy had a knife that looked like a gun. If it really was a gun, Chapelle could have been killed. I think that security dropped the ball and should be re-visited.

Thanks for the MHO😎

Oh, he has his own? I thought it was the venue security. Not only was he attacked, someone also managed to sneak in a cell phone to film the incident.
100% fire

When I first saw the video of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock (the following morning... I never watch any award shows), I remember thinking to myself specifically, "No way Smith or anyone else would've had that reaction if it was Dave Chappelle on stage telling jokes." Now I guess I've got to take the "L" on this one. Then again, am I really shocked or surprised? Some idiot just recently tried to pick a fight with MIKE TYSON on a plane, and then days later, some dummy tried to pick Tyson's nose. People are insane morons.

They were probably watching girls and not him. I don't know if they really had the right to beat the crap out of him though. He will probably sue like Floyd did.

Considering Chappelle weighs as much as an average American woman and the guy had a running headstart to spear him and could barely knock him off his feet, I honestly think that really WAS a transman! And in this messed up Clown World of ours, wouldn't be surprised if they were just paid a million dollars or something to do that on purpose, to have the media paint Chappelle out as a "transphobe" for inflicting "violence on a transperson." I mean, if she really WAS born a man, then that has to be one weak-ass man.

[Daniela1982]

Maybe Chappelle is getting on the "celebrity punch out" list to get equal publicity with Will Smith.

You don’t understand man I’m super into the high button issues of politics when it comes to celebrity gossip I don’t get if a rats ass. Sorry I have my opinion on abortion I think it should be illegal. Gay marriage don’t really care I understand the tax benefits but then again why shouldn’t government have the right to be in peoples relationships basically I’m libertarian except I don’t think you have the right to kill the unborn so that’s where we differ majorly from our conversation earlier

How do you agree with gays being married? but take a hard line on abortions? Lol i guess you can say you're pro-life because gays can't have kids or populate all they can do is adopt. So pretty much saying no more children at all at this point.

[Kristy7di88ddd]

I mean let's put it this way; if this was a guy with a gun that got that close to him; he could be dead. It might be in Dave's best interest to hire different security or come up with a new security plan.

[hahahmm]

No. Pretty sure it's Dave himself who likes to be 5 inches away from the crowd when he performs so that limits what the security can do.

[Fuentes]

Nah i want a security team that's gonna pack anyone who touches me, i can still handle myself of they get close til they arrive.

[mike5150]

Least they fucked him up so any one wanting to get famous for attacking a comedian will think twice. Honestly should have happend to Will Smith.

[JesseJayNeak]

He laughed it off and plus he was unscathed so I don’t think he should

[sheikalana]

Chappelle should get himself Julius LOL.
