Netflix Weighs In After Attack on Dave Chappelle Leaves Attacker Battered and Bruised – Opinion

Although outrage mobs could wish for the worst of comedian Dave Chappelle it seems that Netflix supports him following an attempt at attack by a Los Angeles male.

As RedState previously reported, Chappelle was attacked on stage during his bit while performing at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles during the “Netflix is a Joke” festival. The young man attempting to challenge Chappelle can be seen on the stage. As he attempted to flee, security and a few celebrities chased him down and beat him. His right arm was sticking out of the side.

After going backstage, Chappelle joked that the trans man was laughing at him. This comment provoked more anger from online mobs, but like everyone else they believed the man received his just desserts. In addition to his other injuries, the man was charged with felony assault using a deadly instrument.

Netflix seems to be unfazed by the mobs as well as it proceeded to release a statement regarding the attack, and they’re clearly siding with Chappelle.

“We care deeply about the safety of creators and we strongly defend the right of stand-up comedians to perform on stage without fear of violence,” said a Netflix spokesperson according to Variety.

It is a bit bland and uninteresting, but the typical corporate aspect of the company is not present.

It’s interesting that the “we respect all people of all races, creeds, and genders” corporate speak was left out of the statement. It would appear that Netflix doesn’t seem to see the need to prostrate itself before the altar of transgenderism after a transgender walkout resulted in nothing but a handful of employees standing outside the building and some media attention that went almost nowhere.

A physical attack on the comedian’s beloved comic might seem a bit extreme. It’s also still not entirely clear why Chappelle’s attacker, Isaiah Lee, tried to harm the comedian, though it’s likely the transgender activist mob ginned up enough anger for this to happen.

Chappelle is cooperating with authorities on its investigation and we will likely know soon enough what the motive behind Lee’s attack was.
