Criminal history: Charles Ramsey, pictured in a 2003 mugshot, was arrested several times for domestic violence
The real hero? Angel Cordero claims he was the one who rescued Amanda Berry - and Mr Ramsey did not arrive at the scene until after the woman was freed
When Cooper asked Ramsey what neighbor Ariel Castro was like, he said: 'He was cool, he wasn't no freak of nature, he was like me and you. He talked about the same things me and you do bro'
美国克里夫兰非裔洗盘工蓝西6日晚间报案救出3名遭绑架多年女子,他的义举得到麦当劳公司公开赞扬,受媒体访问时幽默风趣、应对自如,也为自己赢得众多社群媒体上的粉丝。
报导说,蓝西当过4年兵,曾因家暴罪入狱服刑。
43岁的蓝西(Charles Ramsey)当时回应柏利(Amanda Berry)的求救,帮她脱离邻居卡斯楚(Ariel Castro)住宅,他也打报警电话911报案。警方说,蓝西的行动帮他们救出另外两名女子和一名小孩,可能获得赏金。
蓝西住家附近是克里夫兰贫困的、大半是波多黎各裔的社区,他对6日所发生事情的了解,本身就能透露出种族关系的重要讯息。
他说:“当漂亮白人女孩奔向黑人怀中,我晓得一定有什么蹊跷。事情就是不对劲,这再清楚也不过了。”
他表示,在那种情况下看到白人女孩,她不是无家可归,就是有别的麻烦。
蓝西75岁的父亲在电话访谈中说,他曾灌输蓝西要帮助别人的价值观,蓝西协助柏利,是实践这项价值观。他说:“我非常自豪、也不惊讶。”
他父亲说:蓝西1990年代在部队当过4年兵。
