Charles Ramsey, Rescuer Of Kidnapped Cleveland Women, Speaks
From YouTube writeup, "After going missing more than 10 years ago, Amanda Berry shouted to a man from a Seymour Avenue house on Monday..."
Ramsey had not a clue about what the kidnapper was up to until the woman called to him to help her.
He said, "I barbecue with this dude! We eat ribs and whatnot and listen to salsa music."








"Dead giveaway"! How can you not love this guy?

When a pretty little white girl is running up to a black dude, something ain't right!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!

The reporter kept ignoring that comment like he didnt say it - only encouraging him repeat it again. And again. That was the funniest part and judging by the reporters face (as he hurried to conclude the interview) it was about a nine on his tension scale!
Glad they found those girls. What a nightmare.

I hope someone buys him a top of the line gas grill and all the ribs he can eat, he's earned them.

I loved the reports face. If he hadn't been on payroll he couldn't have kept a straight face. It was a close call as it was.
I hope they staple the kidnappers nuts to his hairline.

Charles Ramsey may go down as the greatest viral video/meme in history.
Here's a link to Barstool Sports (some NSFW stuff on the site) with some other Charles Ramsey clips.

JFP's link is a fun little read. I love the internet for reflections like that, with everyday people making sense of freak events... These interpretations made Boston the most fascinating media event of my lifetime.
Thank GOD the era of mainstream media is over. Thank GOD.

Bonus! Because of his actions he proves the "psychic" Silvia Browne is more of fucking fraud.

The songified version.

I love the way this man stepped up and rescued those women (and the child), but I'm just now waiting for the nervous neighbors who now demand the right to search their neighbors home to make sure they are keeping prisoners in the basement.

Thank you, Rad.
I wonder what Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin has to say about all this. Amanda Berry has a six-year-old daughter, plus miscarriages. I'd like to point this out to Congressman Akin and ask him, "Didn't you say this couldn't happen?"
It's uncomfortable to joke about it, though. That little girl has known nothing beyond being a prisoner her whole life. To say nothing of the other women. Amanda Berry was in a gifted class and was going to graduate early. She lost ten years, over one-third of her life, at a time when she should have been dating, going to college and learning the skills for her career.

As charming as Ramsey might seem to us now, he has a past, according to The Smoking Gun.
Patrick at May 8, 2013 8:25 PM
The thing I'm going to have to respect about this guy is because he is saying the rewards should go to the victims. He's saying because he lived next to the creep for almost 10 years and didn't catch it, he's not deserving.
I could see myself doing that as well if I lived in suburbia.
