The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office’s decision not to bring felony charges against Dave Chappelle’s onstage attacker has sent shockwaves through the world of entertainment.
Will Smith got an Oscar after he slapped Chris Rock and now this. L.A. is awesome, and residents deserve to live there violence-free. Politicians and police need to do their job right."I mean, we're definitely not going to have security. Small venues, most of them can't afford to have that extra payroll. It's expensive to have security at a small comedy club," Zoldan lamented.
Stand Up NY comedy club owner Dani Zoldan lamented his establishment can't afford to hire security at the intimate venue. Instead, it will implement other protocols to mitigate stage stormers. "With only a misdemeanor charge, the person could be released soon with only a slap on the wrist. That fails to provide justice to the victim, accountability for this person's actions, and safety to the general public. These concepts, however, like public safety and justice, that most of us value, are concepts George Gascón can care less about.
Comedy club owners throughout the country are on edge after Will Smith smacked Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars and Dave Chappelle was attacked on stage Tuesday night. "I didn't think it was going to happen so soon," Zoldan admitted of the Chappelle attack. But after [the Chappelle attack], that conversation needs to be had where the staff needs to know what they need to do if someone attacks the stage, which also gives us that extra liability because a lot of the people that work for me, they're young, a lot are females. They don't know how to take down someone that attacks a stage and, God forbid, there's a gun or a knife.
