Caller just on Stephanie Miller: "Charles Ramsey didn't need a gun to be a hero..."

[baldguy]

"... he just needed courage."

1. the other hero, Angel Cordero

the first to respond to Amanda's struggles to get out, he ran across the street to help her, began to kick the door, which caught Charles Ramsey's attention, who then followed. He does not speak english.

3. Wow.

Well, it's great to get the story straight. But, I wish this information would have been known in the beginning.

18. Why? nt

19. My father always said to be sure to give proper credit to those who deserve it.

If there were two heroes they both should have been recognized.

5. thank-you for reminding us

7. This must be the man Ramsey spoke of in last night's interview with Anderson Cooper.

Fitting that his name is Angel.

[nolabear]

8. I think that's right. I'm glad Mr. Ramsey mentioned his part in things.

That interview with AC was outstanding. What a guy. I hope the press doesn't mess with him to the point of it being harmful.

26. Too Late, apparently

Mr.Ramsey, has a record of Domestic abuse, and back in 90's spent 6 months in jail because of it. That's what they have found so far

16. Thanks for this detail.

21. Could Be Here Illegal

And that would explain why he didn't want to step forward -- as could other things.

If so, the Immigration Service better not start deportation proceedings.

25. I thought of that too. the first interview I saw of any of this was with

Angel through an interpretor.

2. I intend to repeat this...often. nt

6. That was true. He said that he didn't want the reward money because he had a job.

He said to give it to the girls.

11. This is a real good man who has his heart in the right place

He didn't rehearse what he was going to say it was straight from his big heart. What a guy.

[southernyankeebelle]

12. Yes he sure seems to have a good heart. You ever notice people who really aren't

wealthy always seems to do the right things when it comes to helping others.

[madokie]

13. Seems its more times than not

I know back when I used to do contract work it was the working man/woman who never failed to pay me sometimes they'd even try to before I'd complete the project. Never once did what I'd call the rich person who do that. most times they'd want me to wait until the end of the month or some such shit or in a couple cases try to beat me out of my pay where as the working stiff couldn't pay me fast enough. That was always the case.

This gentleman here showed the world what he is made of. He might not be the best educated or whatever but he is the bestest of the best where it counts. I tear up just thinking about him and the goodness in his big o heart. What a guy.
He is what Hero's are made of and that is fact.

17. I learned a valuable lesson. I had a neighbor who had the roof fixed. They did a

good job and he recommend him to us. We met with him and gave us a reasonable price. So we gave him the money to go get the supplies. Well we a had for a couple of days. We touched base and that was the last time we saw him or our money. My neighbor felt terrible but I didn't blame him. I called the police who were familiar with this guy. He was a drug addict. But when I met him he was fine. I will never see my money again. But I learned never to give the full amount out again.

9. I just love Stephanie Miller.

10. so true

[colsohlibgal]

14. Wat To Go Charles!

Courage to do what was needed, to help a fellow human being, rock on "bro". Not only is he a legitimate hero, McDonald's already tweeted that they would be in touch. To his credit, even though he first suspected this was a domestic situation, he still went to Amanda's rescue.

Oh, how I hope these evil cretins get to be Bubba's chew toy in prison. The Dejesus girl was 14 when she was snatched, that won't play well in the Big House.

I'm curious as to how far the clues will lead, I believe I heard that one of the ladies told police there had been a 4th girl there, who soon disappeared.

[freshwest]

15. Excellent point by a clear thinking caller. The word goes forth.

[Scootaloo]

20. Well, think about that statement for a moment...

And then, think back to all the many gun goobers you may have dealt with.

It always struck me that absent their guns, these people are terribly afraid of just about everything. There is no situation that, to them, does not warrant being armed and dangerous. And htey will call you a fool for not agreeing, because don't you know how dangerous the world is, and only an idiot would face it without overwhelming firepower.

In other words, they're mostly people without courage, trying to make up that deficit with threat displays.

22. +1000

[oldandhappy]

23. yep!

24. So very well said. nt
