This is Will Smith's fault

It seems he made an insulting joke after he was attacked, so it's safe to say he deserved it and his attacker is just operating at a higher order of consciousness and time.

They appear to have beaten the guy up pretty good. Chappelle even said he "stomped" him backstage.. weird.. imagining Chris Rock, Chapelle, and Jamie Fox beating up on the guy.. very weird.. wonder if there will be consequences for them too

"After returning to the stage on Tuesday, the 48-year-old appeared to make light of the controversy, suggesting to the audience that the attacker "was a trans man"."
the article this is from says Chapelle was unharmed, the guy was jailed and taken for mental health treatment; apparently he had a handgun with a knife attached

Yeah, he's clearly trolling people who think he's a trans-phobe. From what I heard, he has/had a trans friend whom he was very close to, who was suicidal, and he told this story on stage. So clearly he doesn't hate trans people.

my take (which I won't defend for days on end) is that he's insulting the memory of his friend; trans people, especially trans women, tend to be suicidal because of things like the constant societal dissmisal of hatred like his as "just jokes"
