I took down the post about Charles Ramsey's past. The extension of the man's fifteen minutes is irritating to me, but I suppose I'm more irritated with the people who have tried to turn him into the next Antoine Dodson. One of the reasons that the Dodson bit and Bed Intruder is funny and entertaining is that nothing all that bad happened. There was a break-in, a failed rape attempt and a clumsy escape which left the Dodsons traumatized for a short time. The interview—which was with the actual victims, not a bystander—was the perfect example of what Nipsey Washington (NSFW) calls "crime humor".
But the taunt "You are so dumb" can't be hurled at Ariel Castro, a man who successfully hid three women in his rape dungeon for 10+ years. You can't compare what happened to Kelly Dodson in her bedroom to what happened to Michelle Knight over the last 11 or so years.
So, Charles Ramsey, I'm trying not to be a hater, man. You turned down reward money and I'm trying to give you your props. I'm just not amusable with regard to the situation. Cleveland made the front of the National Enquirer—I noticed in the checkout line. Hooray. Luckily we also get some positive publicity.
I have no idea what this post is about.
huh? A little context would be nice.
Nothing all that bad? A break-in, rape attempt and traumatized victims is not "that bad"?
I guess we’re supposed to go to the blog to gather context for this.
Pass.
And how bout that Tribe?

A quick click on the personal page of the OP tells the whole story.
Two posts in six years, both excerpted from the same blog.
The little kid in the plaintiff graphic must be gettin’ kinda hungry.
While you are at it why don't you take down this post???
He should enroll in a good blogging school with a tough Dean.
Whoever explained the concept to (I think it’s a) her didn’t do a very good job.
