      But you see that eight year-old child (who just happened to be black not that that was a factor at all in any way) had a bulge that *might* have *possibly* been a gun. So immediately reaching for his gun upon noticing there was an eight year-old there was justified. Just like if you see a brown child on a camel.

    • @owenreynolds8718
      @owenreynolds8718 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I doubt Ben meant or understood this, but that cop's monologue might be realistic, in spirit. In the dash cam from when Mr. Castille was killed (which is still up), the cop goes from calm to panic firing in 2 seconds (after being told about the conceal-carry). The cop is so jacked-up that he points his gun at the mom with her kid, screaming not to move. Now, we know Ben's not just bad with characters and plot, but also with authentic-seeming details. He may have been trying to narrate his cop's similar freak-out.
      We could try saying "Ben, you know when you think you see a spider on your sandwich and you chuck it across the room? You're not thinking `it might be poisonous' or 'I don't want my hand to swell-up and get expensive anti-venom` or 'wait, it's just pumpernickel.` You're not thinking anything at the time. You didn't even decide to throw the sandwich. Use that to write your cop."

Like, wow, Ben really does that absolutely hate Black people, brown people, too, but Black people in specific. I'll also always laugh that Ben thinks "Don't Let Them Hornswaggle You" is a good presidental slogan. 15:45

    25:00 Being cold can stop *superficial* bleeding, since a lower body temperature causes capillaries in the skin to contract to preserve heat.

    9:25 "Illiterate bubble letters." Ben. Benathan Jenjamin Shapiro. If they are letters, do you think maybe they might be literate? Do you... do you think they're just random letters and the taggers don't know what they mean? Did you maybe mean "illegible," you illiterate? Which would be... *less* racist than this character just basically saying "yeah all these black people can't read or write." But still pretty bad. And either way really shows the value of community policing. Y'know. Like maybe having an armed man who has no knowledge of, or empathy for, the community he's policing; who has "given up on trying to decode that shit long ago"; might be... bad. Like he might maybe, i dunno, dehumanize these people he can't relate to, and, i dunno, hypothetically... pull a gun on an eight year-old and deliberately choose to shoot said eight year-old. With dead eyes. Like eight year-olds have. Those violent psychopaths.
    Whereas someone who understands the area might do a better job policing it and serving that community than someone who could, all other issues aside, apparently be under a tag that means "buy your crack cocaine here from Ronald Joseph Mathers" accompanied by a phone number and SSN and not know who to book.

    @callunas Ask and recieve! BEN---A Micro Novel, the sequel to Ben Shapiro's Novel.
    Ben awoke to a sharp, localized pain on his hand. Bright lights and acoustical tiles filled his vision. Where was he? His head was restrained, and he was unable to move his limbs,
    Suddenly his vision was filled with a blurry figure hovering above him. As his senses returned, he heard beeping and the gentle rustle of cotton and intermittent light clanging. Then, a voice.
    "Hey Marge, he's coming out early; I'm going to need a few more minutes here to finish up..."
    And then he slipped out of consciousness again.
    "Brett! Brett!! We need another Chopper in here now. The Soviet CIA is taking over the Kremlin in Downtown Detroit. I need you to suddenly get in there with a sudden burst of M9 fire!"
    Brett looked down again at the magazine in his teeth. He had forgotten to reload it since his time in the Mexican Taliban's prison pods. He had been too busy doing General Quarters and so his Military tasks were incomplete. He knew now that this was all or nothing---the Chinese had installed micro-nukes, something that the American CIA totally knew about, but that evaded border patrols and were now in every American home. The trigger was inside the Soviet Kremlin in Compton, Detroit, in the possession of the father of the kid that his cousin the Policeman had killed. He was really angry, his angry anger made angrier by his Islam.
    "Screw it, I'm not going to die in Harlem, Detroit!!!" he screamed ponderously. He spit ouut the M9 magazine, and it clattered clumsily to the floor. He watched as a stream of golden bullets dripped down through a clear tube into his M9, the only gun his father had ever let him hold. The bullets dripped through the tube that entered into his hand, and straight into the barrell, sexily. For reasons he couldn't understand, his vision began to cloud and narrow. He could feel the flute that had been given to him by his first wife when he was trying to save the planet Kataan.
    Brett felt like he was losing himself. He thought of Ellen, and his policeman, and big bears and short men with hairy chests that looked like a 5'5 teenage boy. He thought of his dog, a Siamese/Calico mix that was as burly as a bear-dog. He thought of Rice and sticks, his favorite meal, and of his favorite cartoons, Dilbert and Friends.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    "Ben? Ben, can you hear me?"
    He was confused. He was once again on his back, this time in a differently lit and appointed room. Why were they calling him Ben? His name was Brett, wasn't it? A Bear of a man, burly, really big, enormous and powerful.
    He felt a dull throbbing at his temple. He struggled, but eventually was able to raise his hands to his head and could feel the stitches.
    "Where the hell am I? And why are you calling me Ben? My name is Brett...wait...wait...what the fuck is wrong with my voice?"
    "Ben, you'll remember. You were in an accident. You've been in a coma for days; and we had to perform emergency surgery to remove pressure on your brain. But you're going to be OK. Now, I need you to rest. I'll get someone up here to see you."
    Ben was panicked. "Where's my M9? Where's Ellen?! "
    "Ellen?" replied the doctor...I'll ask your wife. Is that a friend of yours?
    Ben said nothing. Brett needed to rest, on account of the taxing nature of being so burly and strong.
    -------------------------------------------
    When Ben next awoke, he realized Brett was gone. He wasn't strong, nor was he a Hawthorne but a lowly Shapiro. The pressure on his brain had made him more of a man than he had ever been.
    He had caught his reflection in the TV once it had been turned off of Fox's Steve Doocey. Rather than a burly man, his dimensions had flipped like John Kerry on a Swift boat. 5 foot six on a good day, 135 pounds, with a 4-5 pounds at the midsection that he now remembered that his wife called the "Shapiro Shuffle", and that eclipsed his view of his micropenis.
    In the darkness he wanted to be Brett again. He wanted his M9. In the darkness, he wanted his best friend, Policeman. In the darkness, he yearned yearningly for the touch of Ellen. Most of all, in the darkness, he wanted to once again be burly and tall and strong, with a voice that sounded of a man and a force of will and power that commanded armies.
    In the darkness, Ben stared at the metal tray that had been brought to him with a selection of bland foods. In the darkness Ben made a plan. In the darkness, Brett slammed the tray into his temple, over and over again, in hopes of rebirth.

    So hypothermia actually prevents your body from stopping bleeding.
    While putting an ice cube on a scratch might temporarily slow the bleeding because the vessels will constrict, several clotting factors only properly work at normal body temperatures.

      @@greg8106 -Especially- the suburban police. In my teenage years, I lived in one of the wealthier suburbs whose southern border was 8 Mile Road, and I'm honestly not sure how much of a joke in was that our police department's primary job was keeping black people south of 8 Mile.

    I'm pretty sure Beenie Shapeenie thought he'd written his "Bonfire of the Vanities", here.
    Also pretty sure he's wrong about that.

    Not knowing how the book ends my predictions is that their predictions are more coherent and 'better' than what is actually in the book.

    Ben, just get it over with. Either go to the gym, swole up and join the army, or admit you're a coward and would rather write about the kind of person you wish you were.

    When you force cops to live in the city they work in, it's better, but you just get "cop neighborhoods" that are for all practical purposes suburbs, tied by some long, thin, very technical thread to the city. Point being: they still don't live with the people they police

    Ben Shapiro, ambition far far far outweighs talent. IF he wanted to real writer he should have went to Full Sail for a creative writing degree. Or this manuscript should be used like a Kobayashi Maru test from Star Trek but for editors and not Starship Captains.

    This would be a very short book if Ben Shapiro only wrote about "things he understands". Do any of his characters have oddly strong opinions about fictional characters?

    • @23phoenixash
      @23phoenixash ปีที่แล้ว

      If Ben Shapiro wrote about what he knew, he'd write about a boorish loser with a lot of privilege who ends up doing right-wing propaganda because he's a miserable brat who can't satisfy his wife.

    That background music is very distracting. Sounds like someone is banging sticks on everything in the studio. Glad it's only the intro music, that would have ruined this entire podcast.
