Dave Chappelle attacked onstage at Hollywood Bowl by thug w/Gun. Happy ending.

I guess we can speculate that Will "Cuck" Smith helped normalize this behavior:



It does have a happy ending though:

Sure enough, we now know the answer, and you’re going to want to sit down for this shocking bit of info.

As reported by the New York Post, it’s because the attacker, Isaiah Lee, is bisexual and Chappelle’s jokes “triggered” him. His words, not mine:

In an exclusive jailhouse interview, Isaiah Lee told The Post that Chappelle should be more “sensitive” when it comes to the jokes he cracks.
“I identify as bisexual … and I wanted him to know what he said was triggering,” Lee said Saturday at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles, dressed in brown jail garb and sporting a sling on his broken right arm.
“I wanted him to know that next time, he should consider first running his material by people it could affect.”

Ya don’t say?

Lee told the New York Post that he didn’t go to the special with the intent to harm anyone but the string of jokes he heard from various comedians on stage, plus Chappelle’s prior controversies just got to him and he decided to charge the comedian. He says he didn’t have the weapon he was carrying out when he attacked Chappelle, and only says he carries it around because he, himself, is a minor celebrity.

Lee also claims he’s not mentally ill, but his lawyer revealed that Lee is receiving mental health help.
