The Kenny/Ben scene can be simply explained by Kenny being an idiot and thinking that there was ANY chance he could fight off the hoard of zombies and save Ben. 'Cause apparently that's what he wanted to do. If you say that Katjaa wouldn't this, he says "I either save the boy or get to see her." He actually thought Ben could be saved. That's why he only shot Ben at the last second. I suppose it went with his whole "never say die" thing but still. That man is dumber than a bag of hammers.
I would not say dumb, maybe stubborn is the word I would use, he knew that Ben was more then likely going to die, but there was a small chance, so he took that chance and tried.
But there wasn't even a small chance. At all. Ben was paralyzed from the waist down and bleeding profusely while zombies were rapidly flooding the tiny alleyway. Unless Kenny managed to kill every single zombie out there using 0-5 bullets, pull Ben off the railing without him immediately dying of shock or blood loss, carry Ben around a deserted, zombie-infested city to a place that could provide emergency medical care, and do all of that within the span of a few minutes, Ben was dead, dead, dead. Dead.

It was more or less impossible, but I guess at least he tried, if he was a dick he would have not even tried.
4 for both Lilly and Kenny.:D The Crazy Murder Duo.
And if Kenny wasn't a dick, I think he would've mercy killed Ben, who was completely screwed, without committing suicide so he could help Clementine, who was perfectly savable. Instead he basically gives up on the search for Clem and leaves it all up to Lee.
I don't know, maybe the fact that he berates Katjaa and lectures everyone about not ending it when things are hard, and then immediately getting himself killed is what comes off as dick-ish to me.
