Ben Shapiro has officially filed a police report on the violent threats he received while he was a guest on the Dr. Drew Show. The threats were made by a fellow panelist, Inside Edition’s Special Correspondent Zoey Tur, following a disagreement between the two guests.
Shapiro filed the report Sunday morning, two days after a contentious exchange with Tur on the HLN program Dr. Drew. On a panel discussion over Bruce Jenner’s receipt of ESPN’s Arthur Ashe Courage Award, Tur grabbed Shapiro’s neck and growled, “You cut that out now, or you’ll go home in an ambulance.” Shapiro later alleged that Tur had threatened him after the appearance, “I’ll see you in the parking lot,” and that CNN security had escorted Shapiro to his car after ensuring Tur had left the premises.
On Thursday, Ben Shapiro referred to Zoey – an openly transgender man – as “Sir.” Zoey then proceeded to grab Ben Shapiro by the back of the neck while making a serious threat of violence.
“You cut that out now, or you’ll go home in an ambulance.” Shapiro responded, “That seems mildly inappropriate for a political discussion.” Oduolowu said that, to be fair, Shapiro was being rude, to which Shapiro answered, “I’m sorry, it’s not rude to say that someone who’s biologically a male is a male.” Tur stated, “You just called me a ‘sir.’”
Shockingly, the remaining members of the group did not chastise Tur for her threat, but instead attacked Shapiro for using the wrong pronoun.
After some of the other panelists, particularly radio and “Chain Reaction” host Mike Catherwood, objected that Shapiro knew that what he said would be “insulting” and “inflammatory.” Shapiro responded, “It’s not a matter of insulting or inflammatory. It’s a fact. You are a male. Dr. Drew is a male.”
Catherwood conceded, “Sir, you’re right…on paper, what is a fact is a fact, and I can’t deny that.” He maintained, “But you knew that going in that to say that to Zoey would be aggressively insulting.” Shapiro maintained, “It’s not a matter of aggressively insulting. … The entire discussion is whether we are embracing mental illness and delusion as a society, that’s the entire discussion.”
The vitriol didn’t end there.
For the record, like most of you so-called "conservatives" don't have a penis. https://t.co/XHI5mgjmu1

Even her fans became involved.
@matttbastard @benshapiro me too

Apparently Zoey Tur is not familiar with the terms “Love Wins,” and “NOH8.” Curb stomping is the act of forcibly placing the victims head on a street curb, which is then followed by the perpetrator stomping on the back of the victim’s head. It’s not a game, and it’s not a joke. In 2003, Randall Townsend was killed by two racist skinheads using this method. Reports of “curb stomping” have been reported as recently as 2013, and is known to be used by racist – Nazi sympathizing – skinheads. The posts from Tur and her supporter were particularly disturbing considering the fact that Ben Shapiro is Jewish.
Curb-stomping is a practice made infamous by American Nazi skinheads.
Ben Shapiro is Jewish.
Breitbart News again calls for the removal of the fascist, gay-pride flag, a symbol of bullying and intolerance, to be removed from civil society.
This was never about live and let live, folks.
Have we really reached a point where a serious threat of violence is less concerning than using what others deem to be the wrong pronoun? Ben Shapiro refuses to cave under the pressure of leftist expectations, and like his mentor, Andrew Breitbart, I doubt he ever will.
“While adulation has its moments and can be like a bath in warm water after coming in from a snowstorm, the psychic high from standing up for what you believe in and being attacked for it far surpassed the comfort to be derived from that bath of praise.” ― Andrew Breitbart
The bullies trying to silence Ben Shapiro will quickly find that he’s not going to hand over his lunch money without a fight:
Yup. I also look forward to the police's take. https://t.co/loFLaeKOTs

The attacks didn’t stop at Ben Shapiro:
So @zoeytur is a left wing activist and he is tweeting the addresses of people who disagree with him on transgender issues.
— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) July 18, 2015
The tweet containing the address has since been deleted. However, Tur’s Twitter account has been full of attacks on Ben Shapiro, as well as his followers, since Thursday’s incident. The continuing threats were serious enough to cause concern.
A copy of Ben Shapiro’s police report can be seen below.
If Ben Shapiro continues to face such volatile threats head on – without backing down – in the same manner Andrew Breitbart did, he’ll find his already strong Conservative following growing exponentially.
Just because the left designated you a member of the victim class does not mean you get to infringe others' rights. http://t.co/IwVRRZpuRG

The Left is quickly finding out that we are tired of being bullied. We have rights, and we will not be silenced by violence and vitriol.
As I wrote elsewhere: I don’t care what your DNA is, threats of violence – bullying – is not acceptable. Period..
Bringing up “curb stomping” is particularly disturbing. Anyone who has an ounce of civility and knows what that means wouldn’t use that-eve in jest. I support Ben Shapiro in this situation and applaud his decision to make the police report.
It’s far past time for the cowed to stop being cowards.
Isn’t that
1. Bullying
2. Intolerance
3. A hate crime
4. hypocracy
Liberalism is getting to do all of the above and its ok as long as you are doing it
Oh.. wait its only when the other guy is doing it… Oh makes perfect sense now… sarcasm
So, Zoey Tur say’s that he’s a woman, but when Ben Shapiro used the correct references, stating that Mr Tur is a male, Mr Tur responded as you would expect an angry male to react.
Yeah, that is going to make people believe that he’s a woman! 🙂
