Man nearly beaten to death after kind act
WCBD-TV ^ | August 16, 2016 | Travis Rice

A Johns Island man is recovering from what he says was a group ambush after giving a stranger a lift home.

Brandon Reiter has 13 staples on his scalp, a black eye and plenty of other bruises from the incident last Friday morning.

Reiter says he was driving home to Johns Island after a night out when he saw a woman frantically waving her arms on the side of the road. He pulled over and offered her a ride. “Just last week some guy was stuck in the middle of an intersection so I helped him out,” said Reiter “I automatically will stop to help someone.”

Reiter drove the woman to a neighborhood he had never been to to before. The 37-year-old claims when he stopped the truck, the passenger grabbed the tip money he had on his dashboard and ran away. “That’s when I actually got out of the car – which wasn’t a smart idea,” said Reiter, “and in doing that.. people kind of came out of nowhere.”

Reiter says two black men approached him and then robbed him of his money and phone. The younger man led Reiter to the back of a building at gunpoint. Reiter tried to hit the gun out of his hands then ran back to the truck. Reiter says a gang of men were waiting there and proceeded to beat him down.”It was a setup,” said Reiter, “There’s no way that many people would have been right there and it would have been so planned out.”

Reiter does not remember exactly how he survived, just that the gang beating stopped and he got back in truck and drove away. “I floored it,” said Reiter, “I thought I was going to get shot.”

Reiter first drove home where he recorded a Facebook video about the ordeal. His fiance took later took him to the hospital.

The 37-year-old admits he should never have stopped to pick up the person, let alone get out of the truck. However, Reiter says he was just trying to do a good thing. “We shouldn’t have to sit here and be talking about things like this,” said Reiter, “it should be like oh it was really nice to help somebody out and they thanked you.”

The Charleston Police Department is investigating the incident.

Ok. I’ve seen the BT references. What does that mean?

Hmm ... seems like John Derbyshire was declared a “very bad person” for offering some advice that relates to this situation.

It’s interesting what the “news” story left out. If you look at the Facebook link in the article, you’ll see that the gang of people who beat him were chanting “Black lives matter” as they were doing it.

Had to look it up:
Black Terminatrix 1000. It's a play on the model from the Terminator. Talk show host and YouTube celebrity Tommy Sotomayor coined the term. He uses it to refer to specific women (hoodrats as he refers to them) which are according to him, destroying the Black community. He frequently refers to the DSE (which stands for Dark Skinned Edition) and LSE (light skinned edition).

I used to stop and help people, as well as pick up the occasional hitchhiker more often in the past. Anymore, as a rule, I don’t stop unless I’m carrying. But also anymore, I’m pretty much always carrying when I go out. Lots of crazy people out there, especially with so many meth users.

From urban Dictionary.com:

BT-1000
Black Terminatrix 1000. It’s a play on the model from the Terminator. Talk show host and YouTube celebrity Tommy Sotomayor coined the term. He uses it to refer to specific women (hoodrats as he refers to them) which are according to him, destroying the Black community. He frequently refers to the DSE (which stands for Dark Skinned Edition) and LSE (light skinned edition).
Did you hear about the BT-1000 DSE that left her kids at home for the weekend in search of DNA (Dick And Attention)?

Cyberdine Systems just lost another BT-1000. They apparently claimed she was kidnapped from school during lunch time.

The old saying never stops being true: No good deed goes unpunished in the USA.

Alfred Hitchcock alerted Americans in the 1950s to beware of hitchhikers. It hasn’t gotten an better, and here we are, what, 36 tears without Hitch. The USA is in rapid decline.

In this news account the phrases “unarmed white man” and
“hate crime” were accidentally left out. Curious.

I called it before I clicked on the article.

I was right.
