I couldn't agree with you more. I like to think that conservatives are nicer than liberals. But I have found that some freepers are downright nasty people whom I would never, ever want to deal with in the real world. It is depressing reading the news, but it is often more depressing to see the responses of some of freepers.
I would never have believed dat the media would edit my "pretty white girl
runnin' into a black man's arms" comment .......'till today!
(Welcome to the world of media weasels Mr Ramsey)
On a more serious note I loved it when Ramsey stated that "I'm no hero ... i'm just an American like you, workin' for a livin'"
His 911 call was awesome. About every 3rd word was bleeped out for TV.
Much ado about nothing. I presume when he said “a little pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms” he meant his own arms. Had he said “into the arms of a grizzled old coot,” the meaning would be the same but the controversy wouldn’t be there.
Just look at the names that some freepers call the president and his wife.
Have you not noticed that “trashing” is the unofficial FR sport anymore?
BUT, when we do get of like mind and use Gods standard for what is right and what is wrong, things will happen.
and taken it on as an individual.
Good for him.
Exactly! I figured Ramsey was not squeaky clean when he ducked his head at a siren of an LEO vehicle that drove up while he was being interviewed right when it happened. Of course people had to dig up everything he ever did, though none of it recent and began to trash the man. Wonder why people don't want to get involved most of the time?
*******************
I saw the first interviews when this first happened; Angel Cordero was interviewed first by a Spanish speaking local reporter and he said he heard screaming and went to the house, but could not understand the lady screaming. He said he and another man got her out of the door. Ramsey was interviewed next and he said he heard a woman screaming and when he got to the door another man was there but the other man didn't know what she was saying. Ramsey said they got her out.
Cordero claimed not to speak English, stayed in the background and Ramsey was interviewed by many reporters after that. He never claimed to be the only one to help her get out of the house, when interviewed he was asked questions about what he did and he answered. I figured Cordero was an illegal when he didn't speak out anywhere- but all the sudden now that there is talk of a reward Cordero does speak English! Now he claims he alone is the hero and many want to trash Ramsey.
I think both men responded to her cries for help, I think they both got her out and both did a great thing in an area and a time when most don't want to get involved. Neither man is likely what we all think of when we think of heroes but I will bet both looked like heroes to that woman trying to escape that house and heroes to the other two women as soon as they knew what happened. That day both men were heroes just for being willing to get involved, in spite of the fact I am sure both knew it could be dangerous for them since they had no idea what they were getting into. People forget heroes are human and have flaws as well as good traits; just as we all do.
Ramsey works as a dishwasher, but he had the day off. He is not on welfare or unemployment.
He showed his paycheck in one of his interviews, when the reporter asked him if he thought he’d get a reward. His answer, “Bro, I got a job! Give it to them.” And he pointed to the house where the women had been imprisoned.
Whites feel deeply guilty about racism?
Speak for yourself chump
Yep - it was refreshing.
So this hero is not accustomed to white girls running to black men?
Why is his honesty offensive?
Its the truth to him...in Ohio
He should come to the lower income white areas of Nashville
Probably 25 percent of white girls there run to black men nightly
That story sounded to me like BS when I heard it, but evidently one of the girls told police that they never went outside during the whole time in captivity except twice, and both times they went across the yard to a detached garage. So it seems like this might have been made up or exaggerated or have nothing to do with these girls.
Dammit Chip you are ruining the opportunity for folks to bleat about race
Just because someone posts on FR, a public forum, does not mean they necessarily are “of FR”. Anybody can sign up and post here. You are just like the white guilters, so enlightened like a liberal, “look at me, I’m not racist like the other white people.” “I’m not a bottom feeder like all the other FReepers”. I wonder why people want to cast aspersions upon other people who are actually a lot like themselves, only to make themselves look better I guess. Yes, you are much better than I am. Just remember when you want to dis members of Free Republic that the posters that you object to may not actually BE Free Republic members.
I work in Cleveland. I was walking down the hall the day this went down and overheard a black woman on the phone saying “Charles Ramsey is so ghetto. He’s an embrassment to black people.”
I strongly disagree....he is a real American...that’s what we do. A man going about his everyday life when fate, luck, God...something presented an opportunity to actually do something for someone else. He put his own safety aside and did what needed to be done.
He has done more for race relations than that idiot in the White House ever has.
Am I supposed to feel properly reprimanded or something?
Unfortunately all I can do is laugh at pathetic cowards like you.
I have a friend who has never been inside her Brother-in-laws home...and they’ve been married 36 years.
