Though the Comedian believed fruit peel attack was racially motivated!



   
   
   On Friday morning, The Albuquerque Journal reported that prosecutors dismissed misdemeanor battery and disturbing the peace charges against 31-year-old Christian Englander after Chappelle was unresponsive to requests for testimony.   The comedian has previously said the March incident in Santa Fe, New Mexico was a racist act.


  
   Assistant District Attorney Anastasia Martin wrote that a conviction was unlikely without Chappelle's testimony.




  Christian Englander, 30 was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct and battery during Chapelle's show in New Mexico after he reportedly threw the banana peel at the comedian back in March. 


Koko:  Now that was really ignorant.
MJ:    Yup: that was some ingnorant ish for real.
Bliss: How bad could these jokes have been?
Melly: I'm telling you...ANYBADDY throws ANYYYTHANG on me and            that's going to be their LAST big mistake! Trust!



Christian Englander later threw another banana peel at a second black man just two days after insisting that too was also a joke!

Struck again: Christian Englander, 30, reportedly threw the fruit peel at the comedian back in March, an act which the funnyman felt was 'racially motivated'




Melly:       REALLY???  Twice?See now THAT's a habit. 
MJ:     Twice makes it a habit?
Melly:  Yup! It's a habit!
Bliss:  That mugshot tho.

   'I'm sorry that my joke was misconstrued as a racial attack on Dave Chappelle,' he told The Albuquerque Journal.  The second, he threw because the 'irony of this situation is too much to pass up'.

Koko:   Ok the first one...welllll...but that part about it being  "too good to pass up" really                                annoys me.
MJ:     I know...sounds childish.
Koko:    I don't know when some adults are going to get that childish ONLY works for                                    children.
Bliss:   And childish will get you knocked out and locked up!
Melly:  Mess with me and it will definately get you knocked out.
Koko:   Why are you taking this so personally?
Melly:   'Cuz it was just stupid for no reason.  And I hate when people do absolutely stupid things                   for absolutely no reason at all.  

   If Englander fails to perform 22 hours of community service by Feb. 16 under the conditions of the dismissal, charges can be refiled.



It's over: Assistant District Attorney Anastasia Martin wrote in her notice of dismissal that a conviction was unlikely without Chappelle's testimony


   Police did state the 30-year-old, from Santa Fe, appeared to be drunk as he sat near the stage.

Melly:    It figures!
