The guy had a knife and chose not to use it. This seems like he was intending to get caught "trying to sneak the knife in". When that plan failed because security was absolute shit he had to improvise and stage a different "attack".

There is literally not a scratch on Chappelle. He didn't even get slapped.

The only way all of this makes sense is if the attack is fake.

Or the guy just wasn't as tough as he thought he was.

He had a knife. He didn't use it.

That is a fact. It's not motive - and we don't know what his intentions were before, in the moment, and after.

A fact that has to be taken into consideration when trying to figure out what is going on. A fact that speaks to his motivations. Obviously not proof of anything, but undeniably it is evidence. Reasonable hypothesis can be made. I am open to hearing contradicting evidence and alternate theories.

The guy was not thinking rationally, obviously. He carried a knife-"gun". The guy had his arm broken backwards after he managed to briefly get by security, and was possibly flustered by that. He awkwardly managed to tackle Dave off guard. It was all over in an instant - likely before he could use it. Consider what you like. Obviously he wasn't thinking rationally, whatever his intentions.

I'm pretty sure they broke his arm after the tackle.

Consider what you like.

Selective consideration is ignorant, I consider everything not just what I like.
