Great story, and Charles Ramsey is the shit. (Here's the 911 call.)

Whoever the guy is, I hope they crucify the prick.

McDonald's should put this guy in a commercial. Because between the interview and the 911 call, now I want McD for lunch today.

I still think the 5 Guys Burgers and Fries review autotune was the best ever.

Dayum!

Makes you wonder how many other freaky torture dungeons are out there. Probably more than I want to know.

How many kids go missing each year?

Over

seven

hundred

thousand.

Per year.

http://answers.ask.com/Society....ch_year

You get lots of different answers when you google https://www.google.com/search?....refox-a

Now... no numbers on how many are quickly found, with family members, ran away on their own, or whatever. But my guess is that shitloads... metric fucktons.... are chained up in rape dungeons, somewhere.

Breakdown at Slate.com

University of Pennsylvania breaks it down.

Long story short, kids go missing a lot, but it's usually runaways, family related, or they're just reported missing until they're found quickly and no criminal activity was present.

Stories like this one in Cleveland are the exception, not the norm. We hear more about these stories though because they sell.

But of those cases ... only 115 were "stereotypical kidnappings," defined in one study as "a nonfamily abduction perpetrated by a slight acquaintance or stranger in which a child is detained overnight, transported at least 50 miles, held for ransom or abducted with the intent to keep the child permanently, or killed."

That number sounds much more likely.

Actually, there's been a crazy old guy around my home town trying to snatch little girls for the last week. Last week he tried to snatch 2 of them a half mile apart, one of them a 9yo girl who got off my son's bus 3 minutes after he did. The first time the girl's mom saw him opening his trunk and going to grab her, and took off. Then he went a half mile away and yelled at a group of girls to get in his car, and they ran.

He was spotted yesterday scoping out the bus stops again, but took off before the cops could show.

If that's all true, why has he not had the shit beaten out of him yet?

Peeps are looking. People seem to have gotten lax when he wasn't around for a week, but then he showed up again yesterday with no front license plate, and the one on the back was upside down.

The first day his license plate was one that was reported missing from a completely different car from a different city. No one seems to recognize him as being from around here, so no one knows who to string up.

When I was younger, the local bar would have cleared out immediately and he would have gotten himself "accidentally" perished... but I don't think people are like that any more.

Bet if he'd tried to nab a cop's kid or something, they'd be out hunting a little bit more energetically.

No cops in my town, we are only covered by the county sheriff, and the county seat is about 20 miles away. We are right in the far corner of the county and we dont get much coverage... which is why the dude had plenty of time to skedaddle after the cops were called.

Dude gets free burgers for life.
Now, the hero in the rescue of four kidnap victims held captive on Cleveland's West Side for roughly 10 years will enjoy free burgers for life.

More than a dozen Northeast Ohio restaurants have pledged an offer of a burger anytime Ramsey wants to stop by and dig in. AMP 150 at the Marriott Cleveland Airport; Washington Place Bistro and Inn in Little Italy; Fahrenheit restaurant in Tremont; Market Garden Brewery, Bier Markt, Bar Cento and Nano Brew in Ohio City; Welshfield Inn in Troy Township; Hodges and Pura Vida in downtown Cleveland; 87 West at Crocker Park in Westlake; Orchard House restaurant in Brunswick; Flour restaurant in Moreland Hills, and the Allegheny Grille in Foxburg, Pennsylvania, have joined in the offer.

The burger tribute was inspired by Ramsey, who stopped eating his meal of a Big Mac to intervene and aid the escape of Amanda Berry and her daughter, along with Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight.


Soon afterward, Hodges restaurant, where Ramsey works as a dishwasher, created the Ramsey Burger, a play on a Big Mac.

That seems like a silly little thing, but honestly, we need more of that in our society.

More rewards and recognition for people who do the right thing.
