    So, random Chapelle Fact: For the past couple of years Dave Chapelle has had a 24/7 police presence on his property. I assume he’s hired them off-duty, but they sit in a county sheriff’s car near his front gate. I assume someone made a credible threat to him for some reason, but don’t know full details.

    Timing-wise, the police presence started close to the whole “Dave opposed affordable housing in his neighborhood” story - which was repeated enough times to make it into the popular consciousness, but also pretty much untrue.

      This would have made for a classic skit on Chapelle’s Show. Black man gets so rich and out of touch that he pays police to follow him around.

        it’s like if Dave Chapelle were still alive, he would definitely find a way to make fun of Dave Chapelle… he’d go out of his way…

        Yeah well one time he made fun of people I find icky and they meekly said “don’t make fun of us please” so actually Dave is the best comedian to ever have existed and has never done anything wrong. You ever considered that?

        (/s duh but just in case lol)

      How much police protection do trans people get after he’s done lining his pockets with the money he makes by inciting hatred against them, I wonder?
