WP: A man stopped to help two teens pull an SUV from a ditch. Then, they allegedly killed him.

A friend says: “When John Derbyshire wrote his column about the talk white parents should give their kids, he specifically warned about helping black people.”

Washington Post:

Authorities in South Carolina said two teenagers have been arrested on murder charges after one of them allegedly shot and killed a man who had just helped them pull an SUV from a roadside ditch.

Michael Odell Anthony Dupree-Tyler, 19, and Deon Antonio Frasier, 17, were denied bond on Tuesday in the shooting incident, which occurred Monday night in North Charleston.

Police said a witness asked the victim, later identified as Chadwick Garrett, to help the teens pull a 2016 Dodge Durango from a ditch along a narrow road. Witnesses said he agreed to help, for a $20 fee, according to court documents cited by CBS affiliate WCSC.

John Derbyshire wrote in 2012:

There is a talk that nonblack Americans have with their kids, too. My own kids, now 19 and 16, have had it in bits and pieces as subtopics have arisen. If I were to assemble it into a single talk, it would look something like the following…

(10h) Do not act the Good Samaritan to blacks in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway.

(10i) If accosted by a strange black in the street, smile and say something polite but keep moving.

‘NPR Deletes Comments, Says Commenters Are Too Old And Male’

Daily Caller:

But Jensen indicated that diversity issue also played a role in the decision. NPR commenters don’t reflect the demographics of the site’s readers, since they appear more likely to be older men.
“They overwhelmingly comment via the desktop (younger users tend to find NPR.org via mobile), and a Google estimate suggested that the commenters were 83 percent male, while overall NPR.org users were just 52 percent male,” Jensen said, citing NPR Digital News Managing Editor Scott Montgomery.

Henceforth, NPR will use social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for reader engagement, which will hopefully be more demographically diverse.

NYT: ‘While Twitter is trying to find a way to reconcile its free speech stance with how women and minorities can be targeted on the service, the company has been clearer about combating terrorism.’

I am confused. Can men not be targeted for abuse on Twitter? Or is it only the pain of women and minorities that counts? Is any criticism of women or minorities “abuse”?

New York Times:

While Twitter has long championed free speech on the web and said that it was a “global town square,” its positioning has drawn bullies, racists and extremist groups to the service to spread their messages. That has drawn criticism from government agencies and the Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, among others.

Ben Shapiro, Andrew Breitbart & Steve Bannon

Charles Johnson writes:

I wasn’t going to weigh in on Donald Trump’s decision to shake up his campaign but now I see Ben Shapiro coming up short with the truth again and I had to respond. Shapiro was caught shilling for a Ted Cruz Super PAC so there goes shilling Shapiro once again. Is anyone surprised anymore?

You can pretty much always tell what Ben Shapiro is going to say based upon who cuts his checks.

Shapiro is a serial liar who never gets the story right — remember Friends of Hamas, anyone? — and something of a con artist with a slew of failed businesses and books. Worse yet he is giving aide and comfort to the enemy by talking about how he knows Bannon and that Bannon is a bad guy. Bannon is a complicated guy — we have had drag down disagreements mostly about research and framing — but he’s unquestionably a brawler.

Bannon’s move to Team Trump is the first indication I’ve seen that Daddy is home.

The Trump campaign’s decision to hire Steve Bannon is one of the smartest decisions Trump has yet made. It signals an understanding of the new media order, how meme magic is real, and how the comment section has taken over the election. To our enemies this is terrible; to us, Trumpians, inevitable.

Something has been broken in the media elite. Most in media hate it but I love every minute of it. Everything is possible. The beginning of the end of Gawker’s Nick Denton is upon us. Fox News will decline without Roger Ailes. Huffington Post is slowly descending into irrelevancy.

In this key appointment Trump seems to be understanding what Breitbart taught those of us who were his disciples: “media is everything.” Break the leftist media and you take the power.

The way to break the media was through the power of celebrity because once people like you you’re unstoppable.

Trump advisor Roger Ailes points out in You Are The Message, likeability matters most in matters of persuasion. “I call it the magic bullet because if your audience likes you, they’ll forgive you just about everything else you do wrong. If they don’t like you, you can hit every rule right on target and it doesn’t matter,” Ailes wrote in 1988.

Andrew understood this implicitly. Milo cultivates it. Mike Cernovich builds it. But Shapiro doesn’t get it.
