http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/05/08/charles-ramsey-take-that-reward-and-give-it-to-the-kidnap-victims/No, no, no. Bro, Im a Christian, an American, and just like you, Ramsey insisted. We bleed 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 cajones, bro.
Cooper noted that the FBI had offered a reward for at least two of the victims.
I tell you what you do, give it to them, Ramsey said. Because if folks been following this case since last night, you been following me since last night, you know I got a job anyway.
Just went picked it up, paycheck, he added, producing an envelope from his pocket. What that address say?
Where are them girls living? Right next door to this paycheck. So yes, take that reward and give it to that little girl came out the house and she was crying.
I have never seen a more appropriate time for this gif.

There was also another interview on CNN this evening and Angel said HE kicked the door,
and that Charles didn't show up until Amanda was outside of the house.

I helped her and I was first, Angel Cordero said in Spanish.
On Monday, Ramsey, Cordero and other neighbors in a west side neighborhood of Cleveland helped Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight escape. The women had disappeared in separate cases about a decade ago.
Ramsey arrived after she was outside with the girl, Cordero said. But the truth who arrived there, who crossed the street, who came and broke the door, it was me.
Wintel Tejeda, who lives across the street from the suspects house, said others helped and when Berry came out, they gave her a phone.

Man helps missing women escape from Cleveland home
Angel Cordero is main witness in missing Cleveland women investigation after he helps Amanda Berry escape from home
When Angel Cordero heard Amanda Berry frantically screaming for help he jumped into action.
"I go by the door. I said, 'What happened?' She said, 'I've been kidnapped for 10 years, call the police,'" Cordero said.
His heart was racing when he got to the door. He was afraid, not knowing if he was in danger himself.
Cordero started kicking the door. He was able to pry it open just enough for Berry to escape.
"When Amanda came out, she said, 'I need to call the police. He's coming back. He went to McDonald's for food, but he coming back. I need the police,'" said Cordero.

(8,084 posts)3. I know, why are people still eating at McDonald's???????
I saw a Ramsey interview were he halfway mentioned Angel, I thought it was strange the way he made it sound like Angel didn't help because he couldn't speak english.
Also he admitted in that Interview Angel got there first.

following the incident. Charles was involved we know as there is no question that he made one of the calls to 911 but here a couple of days later we find for the first time that there was also a 2nd person involved in the rescue. With all the media present you think someone would have discovered this sooner. I guess they all felt Charles made for good television and online reporting so they ran with that story without digging any further.
