The man who is being hailed as a hero for rescuing the lives of three women kidnapped for a decade says that he would like any reward money to be turned over to the victims.
Charles Ramsey became an instant Internet sensation on Monday when he helped free Amanda Berry, Georgina DeJesus and Michele Knight from the house next to his where they had been trapped for around 10 years.
Bro, I knew something was wrong when a little, pretty white girl ran into a black mans arms, he told WEWS following the rescue. Something is wrong here. Dead giveaway.
On Tuesday, CNN host Anderson Cooper asked Ramsey what it felt like to find out that he had been living next to kidnapping victims.
See, thats why now Im having trouble sleeping, he explained. See, up until yesterday, the only thing that kept me from losing sleep was the lack of money. See what Im saying? So now that thats going on, and I could have done this last year, not this hero stuff, just do the right thing.
Because theres a lot of people, theyre saying youre a hero, the CNN host noted.
No, no, no. Bro, Im a Christian, an American, and just like you, Ramsey insisted. We bleed the same blood, put our pants on the same way. Its just that you got to put that being a coward and 'I dont want to get in nobodys business,' you got to put that away for a minute. You have to have cojones, bro.
Cooper noted that the FBI had offered a reward for at least two of the victims.

God Bless this man...we are all imperfect...as is Charles....but he found the fortitude to do what was right....and as it appears now...for the right reasons...
Damn right!
I saw the author of the book “The Girl in the Green Sweater” (Krystyna Chiger) talking about her family hiding in the sewers of Lvov Poland during the Holocaust.
The man who was helping them hide was a petty thief (Leopold Socha) and they were paying him with jewelry the family owned. When the time came for the Chiger family to escape, Leopold gave the jewelry back because the family needed it more.

Yeah, Bro. She was acting as one terrified human running towards another human.
He’s a cool guy.
I don’t hold him to his past. He did what is right.
The least they could do is split the reward between Charles and the person whole name Charles does not know but now should. Here it is from bottomfeeder news sources:
“In an earlier interview with local channel, Mr Cordero went into a bit more detail about Ramseys role, saying that by the time Mr Ramsey arrived, Amanda was already outside with the girl.
But the truth who arrived there, who crossed the street, who came and broke the door, it was me.
For his part, Mr Ramsey didnt mention Mr Cordero by name but did say that when he heard the woman screaming he saw his neighbour run across the street and so he went along to see what was going on.”

Seems like he is a different person now and his ex wife have forgiven him .
No good deed goes unpunished.
