Do The Right Thing
Fascinating story on Charles Ramsey the colorful character from Cleveland who called 911 and helped break down the door where three women had been kidnapped for over a decade.

Saw that on Imus this morning. That guy is awesome, and deserves a reward.

I guess there was a reward. When someone asked him about it, he said to give it to the girls.

You've got to watch this interview with Anderson Cooper. Scroll down to the video, its 7 minutes but well worth watching. A real down to earth, humble and street smart Bro.

That man is nothing but pure awesome - as was his entire interview with AC.

Quote:I tell you what you do, give [the reward] to them. Because if folks been following this case since last night, you been following me since last night, you know I got a job anyway. Just went picked it up, paycheck. [...] So yes, take that reward and give it to -- that little girl.

That's a hero. Not action movie actors or pro athletes. But guys like that.

I suspect that even though this guy did the right thing, he might not want the spotlight on himself. Rumors circulating as fact in at least one news outlet suggest he might not be the best of citizens. I'll leave it at that.

Some news outlets reported (Why did they report it? I don't know. It doesn't have anything to do with this case) that he had some domestic violence issues 10+ years ago. He said he's changed, and his ex-wife said the same thing. It's sad that, someone who did a heroic thing, has people digging up his past for no reason.

Drudge doesnt write a thing. He simply links to articles that you dont want to hear.

Oddly, the same people that hate Drudge love the Huffington Post.......................But Arianna Huffington POS, never wrote articles either..............simply linked to bloggers that said stuff that you wanted to hear.

I think Smoking Gun first reported it. But....what he did in the past, has no bearing of what he did in the present.
