City Attorney\u2019s Office. Chappelle, according to his attorney, wants the accused suspect to be charged with a felony.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/soros-backed-prosecutor-seeks-slap-on-the-wrist-for-alleged-dave-chappelle-attacker\">reported<\/a> that Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n would not be seeking felony charges for the man accused of attacking Chappelle last Tuesday night because, according to sources, the suspect did not assault Chappelle while using a deadly weapon, despite having one in his luggage. Chappelle\u2019s attorney Gabriel Colwell slammed that decision in several press interviews after Gascon\u2019s office announced the decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a travesty of justice that Gasc\u00f3n is refusing to prosecute this case as a felony,\u201d Colwell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbclosangeles.com\/news\/local\/dave-chappelle-is-not-happy-hollywood-bowl-attack-gascon\/2888881\/\">told<\/a> the New York Post. \u201cThe city attorney, who filed the case, is doing his job but DA Gasc\u00f3n should also do his job and charge this as a felony.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/radical-da-has-turned-the-streets-of-los-angeles-into-a-living-nightmare-campaign-to-recall-gascon-raises-more-than-6-million\">reported<\/a> that thousands of Los Angeles residents also feel that Gasc\u00f3n should do his job \u2014 or more to the point, that he shouldn\u2019t be in the job in the first place. A group known as \u201cRecall DA George Gasc\u00f3n\u201d announced last week that it had collected over 400,000 signatures as of May 1 and has raised more than $6 million to advance the movement to oust Gasc\u00f3n from office.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/radical-da-has-turned-the-streets-of-los-angeles-into-a-living-nightmare-campaign-to-recall-gascon-raises-more-than-6-million\">noted<\/a> that in\u00a0order to get the recall question on the ballot, the campaign must collect 566,857 signatures from registered voters in Los Angeles County. This amounts to approximately 10% of registered voters, as county officials logged 5,690,406 total registrations for September\u2019s gubernatorial recall election.<\/p>\n<p>During the 2020 election, groups backing Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s candidacy <a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/projects\/la-district-attorney-race-top-donors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/projects\/la-district-attorney-race-top-donors\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-remove-tab-index=\"true\">received<\/a> millions of dollars from billionaire George Soros. Since taking office, the progressive prosecutor has been repeatedly criticized for what critics say is a soft-on-crime approach advocated by leftist district attorneys across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Fox News reported that since Gasc\u00f3n took office in 2020, \u201cLos Angeles has seen a 34% increase in homicide, 15.5% increase in violent crimes, 6.7% increase in property crimes and 67% increase in shooting victims. Arrests have decreased by nearly 25% since 2020, according to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lapdonlinestrgeacc.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net\/lapdonlinemedia\/2022\/05\/cityprof.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">LAPD<\/a>\u00a0statistics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, Chappelle\u2019s attacker, Isaiah Lee, will be added to those statistics. Despite having a knife hidden inside a gun, Lee was not charged because sources say he did not actually wield the weapon in his attack on Chappelle.<\/p>\n<p>That reasoning apparently isn\u2019t sitting well with Chappelle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what Mr. Chappelle wants. Mr. Chappelle wants this case charged as a felony. \u2026 Ten thousand people saw Dave Chappelle assaulted on stage at the Hollywood Bowl last Tuesday night, and the assailant had a deadly weapon on him,\u201d Colwell told Rolling Stone magazine. \u201cThe fact that this isn\u2019t charged as a felony case by the DA is insane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Recall Gasc\u00f3n emphasized to The Daily Wire that the county\u2019s DA has created an atmosphere that enables and encourages crime every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerhaps worse than any one specific policy, Gasc\u00f3n has sent a loud and clear message to criminals that he will always have their backs, whether that means lowering sentences or declining to prosecute certain crimes altogether,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat mentality has turned the streets of Los Angeles into a living nightmare \u2014 criminals feel emboldened, residents feel unsafe, and victims feel completely betrayed,\u201d the spokesperson added. \u201cThat is why you see convicted killers saying they are going to tattoo Gasc\u00f3n name on their forehead or toasting Gasc\u00f3n with homemade alcohol from inside a prison cell.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dave Chappelle\u2019s lawyer recently told the press this past weekend that it is \u201cinsane\u201d that the 23-year-old alleged assailant who attacked his client would likely only receive a slap on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":326,"featured_media":1482162,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1469221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1469221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/326"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1469221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1469221\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1482162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1469221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1469221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1469221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
