Comedian Dave Chappelle Attacked On Stage: If you don’t like the (jokes) comedy, don’t buy the tickets.

This soft generation would’ve never made it in our parents’ yahoo chat rooms — comedians based their lives around telling offensive jokes. The idea of someone running up on stage to attack a man who’s working (telling jokes) to feed his family is out of this world! And this is what a society is breaking down looks like. If free speech is offensive, do we still live in a free country?

As irrational anger increases, none of it could be justified as it continues to get worse by the year, and the pandemic didn’t help either. Comedy is the canary in the cage; it measures tolerance to things that society agrees and disagrees with. I remember when free speech was never offensive but became a thing under agent Orange six years ago.

To whoever rushed that stage, it just comes to show how selfish as a society we’ve always been. And, to whoever you are, thanks for showcasing the depths of selfishness people like you tend to reach. Everyone paid to go to that show; they spend time, money and effort, babysitters? Shall I go on?

All for you, to make it all about you.
