Statement summary
In a post written as a letter to Chappelle, comedian Rob Schneider says Chappelle is no longer the person he was and has become a champion of senseless violence, and that no one should feel better after Kirk's murder.
“Dave, you are now a champion of senseless violence who embodies the base ugliness of our body politic. Nobody deserves to die for engaging in conversation. And no one should “feel better” after the violent murder of a husband, a father, a son and a friend. No human being deserves that.”

Why we used this label
