Man who rescued kidnapped Cleveland girls

[summer]

Lord, this man said, "Bro, I knew something was wrong when a pretty little White girl ran into a Black man's arms.  Something is wrong here.  Dead giveaway."

Good for him that he listened and believed her and just did what he had to.

I Am so glad he helped her and the other girls. And he tells an entertaining story and points out that this guy looked like a regular Joe. That is what is scariest to me.

Yep and that's me of the things you have to be careful about when talking to kids about strangers and safety.
to most kids strangers are creepy scary looking monsters not a normal looking clean cut man.

I love this guy so much, mostly because he seems to be fully aware of the fact that he is hilarious. He needs to do the talk show circuit.

ETA: I've now watched his interview and listened to the 911 call and I want to know if Charles Ramsey works for McDonald's. LOL

Seriously this guy is a freaking hero. He was totally willing to immediately run towards a screaming woman. He tore down a door for her. Called 911 for her. Lots of people would have run the other way.

Plus he's hilarious. Cleveland keepin it real.

[Knight]

I love this guy. Congress needs to declare a Charles Ramsey day.

[pixy0stix]

lolol! This guy is a hero. For real.

Totally agree.

I love him. I want to talk about him bending down in the middle of the interview and saying he ate ribs and listened to salsa music with dude.

That was the part that made me LOL.  Well, that and mentioning that he was "eating my McDonald's" when he started telling his story.

[Velar Fricative]

This guy is awesome. I honestly don't know what I would have done if I saw a friggin' ARM coming out of a door like that. I might have been too scared to open the door and see what was on the other side, so major kudos to him.

That guy was hysterical. I've been showing people all morning.
And the best part is what summer pointed out at the end - him saying " a pretty little white girl running into a black man's arms - something is WRONG here!!!" Just the way he said it made me laugh.

Its actually really sad to me that he feels white girls would be otherwise skeptical of black men - but in this situation with his narrative it was really funny.

I lost it there too...he said, "either she's homeless or got problems" and when he talked about the police going up in there 30-40 deep. 

He also mentioned he thought it was a domestic disturbance, and that would have made it less likely for most people to do anything. Amazing story

Please listen to the 911 call. " She need everything!"

[epphd]

That guy is comic gold. But more - as already pointed out - he figured "oh, it's a domestic violence dispute...so I'll run toward it to help." That guy is brilliant. 

[pixy0stix]

Did anyone catch that his neighbors were telling him to get away from the place.

[taratru]

Oh sweet Lord, that 911 call just made my whole day.

I lost it...I completely lost any type of composure I had...when the operator said is she black, white or hispanic, and he says "she's white...but the baby look hispanic".

[FloFTW]

I get choked up every time I listen to his call.

I'm hoping he gets a spot on Tosh.0 like Sweet Brown did.

[lolaburns]

I wish I could hug him. This story is incredible.

[Deleted]

he is the best. i spent all damn night watching updates on this and not sleeping. i tried to think what i'd do if i was the one eating my mcdonald's, walking down my street, and saw that. i'd probably stand there and call 911 on my cell, but i don't know that i'd help kick down the door. i'd like to think i would, but i'd be scared for my own safety, for getting involved in someone else's business, etc. and that could've been/was the difference for those women between rescue and continued torture. he is so brave.
