‘You Go, Girl': L.A. Times Cheers Threats of Violence
Against Breitbart’s Ben Shapiro
by John Nolte 25 Jul 2015
In an article titled “You Go, Girl: Zoey Tur Gets
Aggressive With a Bully From Breitbart News, The Los Angeles
Times openly cheers the fact
that one person placed their hands on another and then made threats of
violence.
I could have also titled this piece, “The L.A. Times Is Why
We Need a Second Amendment.”
The reporter, Robin Abcarian, also omits or glosses over
numerous facts inconvenient to her fascist narrative. The piece is not only
dishonest, it is the elite media championing the dangerous idea that moving
from speech to violence is sometimes okay.
And when is such a thing okay?
As though we lived in Germany circa 1933, this is okay the
victim is an “approved” victim (in this case conservative Ben Shapiro) and the
aggressor is an “approved” aggressor (in this case Zoey Tur, a member of the
LGBT community):
You know that scene in a movie when the bully gets his
comeuppance?
And you know how you cheer even though you know physical
aggression is wrong, but you are thinking hey, someone had to teach this guy a
lesson?
That was pretty much my reaction as I watched Zoey Tur’s now
well-known interaction with Breitbart News Editor-at-Large Ben Shapiro last
week on “Dr. Drew on Call,” the Headline News talk show hosted by addiction
expert Drew Pinsky. …
I didn’t think what Tur did amounted to bullying at all,
since she was responding to an outrageous and insulting provocation.
Let me end with Shapiro’s own advice from his book on
bullies, based on his own experience as a scrawny, picked-on high school
student:
“Bullies,” he wrote, “don’t stop bullying until somebody
fights them.”
Exactly right.
Even if you are naïve enough to accept Abcarian’s facts at
face value, her premise is still monstrous. Under no circumstance can a civil
society accept the idea that it is ever in any way okay for debate, argument,
or disagreement to jump the big red line into violence or threats of violence.
And we all know that if the roles were reversed and the
circumstance exactly the same, if it were Shapiro who had threatened Tur in
this way, Shapiro’s career would be over and the L.A. Times would cheering the
end of that career. And justifiably so.
Intellectual dishonesty is par for the course with left-wing
outlets like the L.A. Times. But as though the author feared that telling the
entire story truthfully might undermine her “You go, girl-ing,” the piece is
also riddled with numerous lies and lies of omission,: [emphasis added]
And then she turned to Shapiro and gently put her hand on
his shoulder. “You don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re not
educated on genetics.”
Shapiro looked at Tur: “What are your genetics, sir?”
That is when Tur lost it.
With her hand still on Shapiro’s back, she said
quietly, “You cut that out now, or you’ll go home in an ambulance.”
This is an outright lie.
Tur’s hand was not “still on Shapiro’s back.”
Tur grabbed Shapiro by the back of the neck. This fact is on
video at the 5:32 mark.
Abcarian’s lies of omission are just as glaring as the lie
above.
Nowhere in the piece did Abcarian tell her readers that
Tur’s threats continued after the show to the point where the show’s producers
felt it was necessary to walk Shapiro to his car.
Nowhere in the piece did Abcarian tell her readers that Tur
publicly championed the idea that Shapiro be “curb-stomped,” a
practice made infamous by neo-Nazis (Shapiro is Jewish).
The L.A. Times and Robin Abcarian are why America’s Founders
put a Second Amendment in our Constitution.
When you have powerful media outlets not only excusing but
cheering on threats of violence against another; when powerful media outlets
abdicate the social pact to support the right of an “approved” aggressor to
violate the rights of an “approved” victim, the smallest and most vulnerable
minority in our country — The Individual — must have the right to protect him
or herself.
Don’t be fooled by the pretty rainbow flag.
The Brownshirts aren’t coming, they are already here.
P.S. Like the rest of the mainstream media, Abcarian might
truly believe she is being some kind of “down with the struggle” social justice
warrior for the transgendered, when the truth is that she is anti-science. The
only morally appropriate and compassionate cause for the transgendered is to
get them the expert mental health help they so desperately need. To play along
with Tur’s tortured delusion that he is a woman, especially after his
unbalanced behavior towards Shapiro, is either an astonishing act of
destructive ignorance on Abcarian’s part, or selfish indecency mixed with
abject cowardice.
Zoey Tur
Career
In 1988, Tur was credited by the Los Angeles Times with saving the lives of 54 people during a freak
southern California storm in January of '88.[12] Tur piloted a AS-350B
Eurocopter helicopter through 60 knot winds, at night, to airlift stranded
tourists from 22 foot seas that pounded apart their hotel, the Portofino Inn.
Timing the interval of the waves, Tur and Byron Alperstein, the camera
operator, made a dozen near zero visibility takeoffs and landings without
losing a single victim. Both Tur and Alperstein received numerous awards for
their heroism.
Controversy
Tur's public statements about trans women, the
legitimacy of trans
men, gender stereotypes, the sexuality of trans people, and her
saying that a trans woman using the women's locker room at a Michigan Planet Fitness was
a dangerous predator who was really going to the bathroom to "perv out on
women" (on the television show Dr. Drew On Call
in March 2015) have been widely criticized by advocates of transgender people
and transgender rights, including Dana Beyer of Gender Rights Maryland, Shannon Minter of
The National Center for Lesbian Rights, trans
journalist Parker Marie Molloy, and trans blogger Mya Adriene Byrne.[22][23][24][25] In the
summer of 2013, Tur made a controversial remark during a TMZ video chat: "[Tur] doesn't
believe women can make the same quick, decisive decisions like men when
piloting an aircraft."[26]
In July 2015, while on Dr. Drew On Call talking about
Caitlyn Jenner
accepting the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, attorney and Breitbart editor-at-large Ben Shapiro called
Zoey Tur "sir," and Tur responded by putting her hand on Shapiro's
neck and telling Shapiro that if he did not stop, he would be going home in an
ambulance.[27][28] Shapiro
filed a police report charging Tur with battery regarding the incident, and
said he intends to press charges.
