But first; So who is Zoey Tur? The pilot famously known for capturing O.J. Simpson's Bronco chase is now a woman. 'What does one do on one's last day as male?' Tur tweeted June 23.
Tur also filmed this terrifying scene during the Rodney King riots:
The Filming of Reginald Denny's Beating
"When Los Angeles erupted in violence after the Rodney King verdict in 1992, Bob Tur was the reporter on the scene who captured the chaos. Here, he recounts filming the beating of Reginald Denny — footage that later became an iconic moment in history."
Now back to the main post:

"Tur said Jenner probably didn’t deserve the award, adding that “being transgender is about the bravest thing you can do.” Shapiro, however, pushed back.
“ 'Why are we mainstreaming delusion?” he asked. “Facts don’t care about your feelings. It turns out that every chromosome, every cell in Caitlyn Jenner’s body is male with the exception of some of his sperm cells. … what he feels on the outside is irrelevant to his biological status.”
"Tur said Shapiro didn't know what he was talking about and didn't know anything about genetics. Shapiro then asked a question that prompted the threat.
" 'What are your genetics, sir?” he asked. Tur put her hand on Shapiro's shoulder and said: “You cut that out now, or you’ll go home in an ambulance.”
“ 'That seems mildly inappropriate for a political discussion," Shapiro said in response. Instead of calling for civility, some on the panel suggested Shapiro deserved the threat.
"Entertainment journalist Segun Oduolowu, who had earlier called Jenner a fraud, said that, to be fair, Shapiro was being rude. Shapiro disagreed.
“ 'I’m sorry, it’s not rude to say that someone who’s biologically a male is a male," he said. Tur, however, told Shapiro: “You just called me a ‘sir.'” And that, apparently, warranted a threat of physical violence.
"But Tur wasn't finished insulting Shapiro. "You’re a little man,” she said after a commercial break. “Little boy.”
" 'Tur's liberal followers on Twitter loved her threat of violence on Twitter, and Breitbart.com said Friday, she extended the bullying campaign by approving a tweet calling for Shapiro to be "curb-stomped." Curb-stomping, Breitbart explained, is "a heinously violent street practice where the victim is forced to bite the corner of a cement street curb before the assailant stomps on the victims head."
"The practice, Breitbart added, was made infamous by American Nazi skinheads. Shapiro is Jewish, John Nolte added, suggesting anti-Semitism on Tur's part." . . .
The tolerant left never called for Tur's resignation.
FCC should FINE people for ‘MISGENDERING’ Trangenders, says NBC’s ‘black commentator’ Will that be cash or check, Mr. Shapiro?
