    Those aren't even the ugly details.

    Wait until the reality of the condition of these women and what was done to them comes out.

    I won't write up the details here. They are some of the most disgusting things you've ever heard.

    One report says Charles Ramsey isn't the guy who kicked in the door and helped the girls escape. He merely called 911. Some other guy kicked in the door to help Amanda Berry escape, but he doesn't speak English well. Ramsey started giving interviews, the media loved him, and it took off from there.

    In 2010, the minor league baseball team I cover partnered with a program called BairFind, which is run by former minor league pitcher Dennis Bair. The program places the photos of missing children on pro sports teams' team photos that they hand out to fans.

    The photo that was featured on the team I cover's team photo that year was Gina DeJesus. Her mom, Nancy Ruiz, was at the ballpark that day and I got about a 10-minute interview with her. It turned out to be a pretty good story. Her mom was convinced Gina was alive and that she had been sold in some kind of underground sex trafficking business. Nancy was one of the nicest women I've ever met and even wrote me an email to thank me for my story when it ran.

    I'm glad she's got her daughter back. I just hope they can get back to some sense of normalcy.

    Just read on CNN that ropes and chains were found in the house. That's sick. The three brothers, if convicted, deserve to be executed.

    They are bad guys and worse people. Very disheartening. [crossdrip]

    Ramsey was on AC360 last night, and even more awesome than ever.

    Holy fuck, what kind of crappy lawyer did he have to get terms in the state pen for drug abuse, criminal trespassing and receiving stolen property? That's stuff that usually gets you a few year's probation and community service.

    Fuck Ramsey, he's the quintessential reality-show hero zero who gloms onto a tragic story and rides it to fame and fortune.

    HE didn't really have anything to do with freeing the women, basically he just stood by and watched while other people did. But because he's willing to step up in front of the cameras and do a clown show, he's being turned into a hero. You've had your 15 minutes, man. Sit down, shut up and go away.
