Further developments on the netflix protest

This is really upsetting. Remember the big chap with the "jokes are funny sign" at the Netflix walkout? The one who had his sign destroyed by a netflix author who tried to get the crowd to beat him up (or law enforcement to shoot him) by shouting HE HAS A WEAPON?

In his first video released soon afterwards - where we got to laugh at the ridiculous REPENT MOTHERFUCKER tambourine/rattlesnake woman, - he also mentioned that his friend had been attacked and knocked over, and that his head was still hurting. And also that they were chased to their car by a bunch of very threatening antifa thugs.
In this new video update he is visibly shaken. He has just seen footage of what actually happened to his friend.

First he reads how the incident was reported by biased media, describing him and his friend Dick, and their good natured protest (signs reading "We Like Dave" and "Jokes are Funny") as evidence of the violent tendencies Dave Chappelle stirs up in right wing fanatics. The article says that his friend used the stick from his sign to put someone in a chokehold, using the stick to throttle them, but "luckily an antifascist was able to jump in and break his hold on the unidentified persons neck.

Then he shows video footage of the incident, and what actually happened is really shocking.
Firstly, the innocent protester put in a chokehold by the violent stick wielding thug turns out to be the very same blue t-shirt guy who broke Vito's sign and tried to get him killed by shouting the "he has a weapon" warning.

Then you see that what really happens is that the bloke's wife comes forward, she gets right up in his personal space, with her arms out, and while Dick is distracted blue t-shirt guy manages to insert himself between Dick and the stick attached to his sign.

He's trying to pull the sign away so he can destroy it like he did earlier with Vito, but Dick doesn't let go of the stick, he holds it with two hands so that the writer/provocateur is standing in front of him, between him and the stick, refusing to move. Dick is shouting "he's grabbing my stuff". He's very carefully not touching the sign grabber, just holding on to his own stick with both hands. Then a thug with his face hidden under a blue mask comes up and violently pushes him over, then purposefully slams his head onto a decorative concrete ball. He's obviously shocked and hurt, he tries to get someone to help him, and the bloke who attacked him immediately says "you were choking someone". Which is the lie the media reports as if it was truth.

The video shows very clearly what really happened. Without it there would just be his word against the antifa liars. It's exactly the same as what happened when that thug Tara Wolf (also known as Tara Flik Wood), a trans-identified male, beat up Maria MacLachlan after announcing on Facebook that he was going to “fuck up some TERFs” his mates lied under oath making up a story where Maria was a crazed hells granny who put one enormous lout in a headlock and threw them around like a rag doll. Fortunately, in that case too, there was very clear video evidence of what actually happened.

Vito is so upset by the video, and by the fact that his friend Dick still has symptoms from having his head smashed into concrete. By the lies that are being spread on social media about what happened, that paint him and Dick as violent fascist thugs, and by the fact that the antifa nutjobs who chased them to their car have uploaded footage showing their license plate onto social media, making it easy for deranged people to get hold of the home address and turn up to show their displeasure with guns or molotov cocktails.

The fact that it was the same netflix author who instigated the skirmishes both times, and after trying and failing to get security to shoot Vito, or the crowd to beat him to death by shouting that he was armed, then went on to position himself between Dick and his sign so that he could pretend he was being choked, and this time he really did manage to get his target seriously hurt.

I really hope Dick makes a full recovery, but everyone knows that head injuries can cause permanent brain damage and personality changes. I also hope that their legal case against the netflix author and antifa smurf is very successful and lucrative that they both think good and hard before pulling the same vile stunts on anyone else.

The Antifa/TRA crowd are high on their own entitlement and completely out of control.

They are going to kill one of us before this is over.

TLDR: Transactivism-in-Microcosm where TRAs abuse, attack, lie and pretend to be the victim and the media reports the TRA lie.

  1. TRA in blue shirt attacks peaceful counter protester A, ripping placard from the stick
  2. TRA in blue shirt yells 'he has a weapon'
  3. TRA in blue shirt chases peaceful counter protester B, trying to rip placard and stick away
  4. TRA in blue mask violently pushes him over, then purposefully slams his head onto a decorative concrete ball
  5. TRA in blue mask lies "you were choking someone".
  6. Media repeat the TRA lie as if it was truth

A film about a thoroughly decent man finding out that being reasonable and protesting peacefully is not tolerated by transactivists and that being reasonable yourself is no protection.

It’s devastating when you’ve gone through life believing that being a decent person will protect you somehow. You then find yourself faced with a number of people who will do anything to discredit you, including attacking you, pushing for a reaction, and even when you show astonishing levels of self-restraint and do nothing whatsoever in retaliation, you will still be used and abused because lying is a routine tactic to a few of these activists, who are currently controlling the situation as they have no moral values or conscience to hold them back.

This is a man discovering there is genuine evil in some people, and realising that something he believed, based on his upbringing and previous experience, has left him wholly uprepared for what some people are actually capable of. You can see the devastation this shift in his world view is causing him.

This is why women who have been gaslit before find it easier to see and believe what’s happening. That shift has already occurred for us.

LangificusClegasaurous · 25/10/2021 09:27

I’m very glad that Vito doesn’t intend to let them get away with this.

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 25/10/2021 10:26

What is going on with your moral compass that the man and woman plus smurfs in blue think that these tactics are acceptable?

This whole 'bring your authentic self to work' business - no, this is why I don't want it. The Netflix staff in this demo are coming across as troubled and deeply troubling. Will HR even talk to them about their behaviour or check in with their colleagues to see if there are problems there?

@InspiralCoalescenceRingdown
Completely mind blowing that they have managed to keep that case so under the radar.
Imagine if a lesbian activist had killed a trans couple and their son, who honestly thinks it would be treated like such a non-event.
Kara Dansky is doing very important work.

RufustheBadgeringReindeer · 25/10/2021 11:01

Thank you for sharing stealth

Its just horrific…the outright lies and violence

rabbitwoman · 25/10/2021 11:19

I find it very very hard to believe dave chapelle has not been made aware of all this.

rabbitwoman · 25/10/2021 11:29

In discussing a completely different case, I came across the idea of eustress.

The opposite of distress. Where you are so used to being able to do stuff with no consequences or even positive results that you become utterly reckless and euphoric believeing you will get away with anything...

rabbitwoman · 25/10/2021 11:30

If there are no consequences for these individuals, what will they do next?

Needmoresleep · 25/10/2021 11:37

This is the New Yorker take on Dave Chappelle’e edgy brand of comedy in the age of cancel. I am not sure I understood what they are trying to say. Maybe they don’t either.

OldTurtleNewShell · 25/10/2021 11:39

This is absolutely shocking. The attacks are bad enough, but the way that they've been painted as the aggressors is extremely concerning. They could have killed him. I hope the police are taking this extremely seriously. Imo that needs to be a prison sentence and nothing less. That man is dangerous.

BernardBlackMissesLangCleg · 25/10/2021 11:41

god they're just thugs aren't they

organised by a racist homophobe

if you are beating up a person because they're holding a sign that says 'jokes are funny', you're definitely the bad guy

Wildfart · 25/10/2021 11:50

The couple doing this were interviewed earlier at the beginning of the protest and talked about their trans child.

They're out of control.

Kotatsu · 25/10/2021 11:59

Videos already removed - it's as though they don't want people to know about this...

EsmaCannonball · 25/10/2021 12:03

As well as Dana Rivers, don't forget Lauren Jeska's attempted murder of Ralph Knibbs. These things are not hypotheses, they are things that have already happened. Already today on feminist Twitter I have seen images of a male non-binary lesbian threatening Terfs with a sledgehammer. It makes you realise how many people have seized upon wokery as a way to indulge their desire for violence.

Needmoresleep · 25/10/2021 12:07

Mail on line are covering the story from a constructive perspective of a transgender comedian who believes humour can and should address sensitive issues.

I'm glad that they have named the Netflix writer that was doing this.

For his kid.

InspiralCoalescenceRingdown · 25/10/2021 12:38

@LangificusClegasaurous it really is - shocking to think that it happened in 2016 and there's been no trial since. I appreciate there's covid, but it was already three years at that point.

@EsmaCannonball - very good point.

Piapiano · 25/10/2021 12:59

What are the TRAs saying about this? I assume the Guardian will refuse to cover any of it.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 25/10/2021 13:05

That video is shocking. Netflix need to suspend that writer while they carry out an investigation which should take all of an hour, and then fire him. It also needs the police to be involved.

nauticant · 25/10/2021 13:23

Where you are so used to being able to do stuff with no consequences or even positive results that you become utterly reckless and euphoric believeing you will get away with anything...

The same concept exists in other contexts, for example where it's been called Affluenza: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_Couch
