Apr 5 2006James Ransone kicks rapist ass

Fuckin ell. He looks like he couldn't kick a 4 year old's ass!

He would make Charles Bronson proud.

Who is James Ransone ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Who the eff is James Ransone?

Agreed, 3&4 I don't know who the hell he is, but he seems pretty badass. He can beat off my rapists any day... errrr... that's not quite how I meant for that to sound.

Guess it's up to me:

http://imdb.com/name/nm0710447/

BTW, before I IMDB'd him, I had NO idea who he was either. Come to think of it, I still don't.

I have a new found respect for this guy I've never heard of. But anyone who chases down a rapist in their jammies is OK in my book.

This is interesting. Scroll down a little and you'll find the bizarro version of this story: Howard Stern lets hobo spit on his girlfriend. And then hides in a car.

How 'bout that, GunnyBeach? Maybe Stern's worth $300 million, but you can't put a price on manhood. Kudos to Ransone for being such a badass.

How about we hire him to kick Federline's ass?

This is actually the edited account. They left out the part where he recalls reaching into his utility belt to pull out his batarang which temporarily knocked the perp down but he was able to get away with the help of a mysterious assistant dressed as a penguin.

how could you not comment on the fact that he saw this guy with his [sex organ] out and the first thing he thought of was his mother?!

that said, go joey ramone (or whoever this guy is)!

I like how he "respects women" but he's standing in front of a picture of some chick w/ size triple F breasts.

#12 - And your point is? If I unwittingly stand in front of a aryan nation poster, does that make me a jew-hating jew?

As a New Yorker who sees way too much of the "is somebody gonna help this person, because I'm not" attitude, this guy's my fucking hero.

#12 That's a poster for the movie A Dirty Shame directed by John Waters. The girl in question is Selma Blair.

In other news, Mike Tyson bows out of his upcoming boxing match against Glass Joe, having suffered a minor shoulder injury and various cuts and bruises in a freak Pigeon cage accident. When contacted by reporters, Mike stated "It wass a fweek accident. Theya wass pigeons fwying evwewheya. It wass indubitably the stwangest thing that eva happened to me. Hey, is that Fwied Chicken?"

BIG FREAKING DEAL!!!! Stop acting like this guy is some sort of hero. I once chased down a jaywalker while dressed in nothing but my favorite pair of ass-less chaps. Did I get a parade and a standing ovation? No, I got an arrest for indecent exposure and assault and a 10-year restraining order.

This world and everyone in it can kiss my ass.

#12

Geez, way to be a Debbie Downer. The guy runs down a rapist, beats his ass, and saves the woman he was attempting to rape and all you have to say is "oh, but he's standing in front of a picture of a woman with big titties". Well, waah waaah waaaaaahhhh. I think you're failing to see the bigger picture here. Pun intended.

"I pictured my mom, my girlfriend and every girl I've ever loved with a penis and thought, Wow he's much bigger."

In all seriousness, good for him!!!!

I wonder if he didn't do anything, if he would been in the same jail cell with Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, and George.......

The (potential) rapist probably would have run away if anyone had caught him in the act but this James Ranson guy went the extra step.

I think the part that makes this guy a hero is that, although he appears to be of fairly small stature, he pursued and caught up with the asshole and then BUSTED THROUGH A FREAKING GLASS DOOR in order to wail on him! Nice! Hope he gets some nice hero groupie tail.

Ah, SuperSpence, ass-less chaps? I guess that means I'll have to let go of my dream of marrying your hilarious self.

I'm a little confused. The perp said "Do you want to go to jail?" Was he pretending to be a sheriff with the fake gun move?

He looks like a man of concern. What a great guy, look at those sincere, puppy eyes and solemn face of virtue. Too bad he's standing in front of a pictue of giant knockers, which totally negates the whole "hero" thing. What a fucking prick.

Not to be a killjoy or anything, but I don't buy it. Hollywood is phony and full of poop and lies!

Some nobody actor chases down a rapist, spouts corny lines and beats him with a broom stick--no--a metal pipe while in his jammie and the rapist, after hearing more cheesy lines, gets away??

Come on, I think I saw that on "Law & Order" a few weeks ago...

#23 You may be right. But for now I am happy to laud some kudos on the guy for doing the right thing. He will justifiably enjoy some praise and attention for a week or so,... until the perp hires a lawyer and sues Ransone ass for assault.
Unfortunately, that will happen. Because at the time of the beating the guy wasn't raping anybody, he was just somebody running around late at night with his [sex organ] hanging out.

Don't know who he is, but by his detailed, novelesque recitation of the event in question it sounds like he's running for office. Unless you're a politician, usually you let others glorify your actions. "There was something in her voice." Probably the "Hispanic Guy's" penis. Hate to say it, but it sounds like his publicist is trying to get him a "cop bent on revenge" role.

Good for him! I have no idea who he is, and I hope his neighbor is okay... and that they catch the creep who tried to rape her.

I hope that it's a true story, too.

I saved a girl from getting raped last week.

Actually, I just let her out of the car. Too much squirming and sobbing. You know what they, "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, force yourself upon her."

Before I receive a hundred angry posts in response, realize I was joking.

I never let her out of the car.

OMG He's standing in front of a picture of a woman who has boobies! There's no way I could respect a man who both beats the fuck out of rapists AND likes boobies!

Especially not when the picture of boobies is the poster for a movie he was in - what sort of justification is that!

My eyes snagged a bit at "Hispanic guy", but it was prolly the heat of the narrative.

Anyhow, I am filing this story under "true" and going away happy, because my pet peeve is people who don't take every opportunity available to thwart evil, break windows, shout names, and wield a metal bar (legitimately, yet!)

BTW I am a relative newcomer, and I was like who is this HotNuts Mofo everyone keeps sucking up to?? Stop sucking up to him! But then, since a mouthful of my morning "Quik" just flew straight out my nose a minute ago when I read #27 I suppose I see why....

Mr. Nutz, it's people like you who strengthen the moral fiber of our country, while this tool runs around assaulting friendly immigrants. And, to think, he'll probably get some kind of reward while you were the one actually lowering the instance of reported cases of rape... it sickens me. Much like this new VAULT SODA sickens me, with delicious, energy-boosting flavor!!!
Someone once told me I had a "rapist wit", now I finally see what they were talking about...

I think osh kosh is as separated from reality as all the celebs we make fun of.

"Too bad he's standing in front of a pictue of giant knockers, which totally negates the whole "hero" thing. What a fucking prick. "

who says that you freak? either you are retarded, or you are a total loser.

This would be funnier if instead of this guy, it was Crocodile Dundee who intervened,
"You call that a sex organ? This is a sex organ!" (holds up big knife)

It doesn't matter who is he. He helped someone else while LIndsay keep hiting people with her car.

also, making fun of rape isnt funny, EVER. generally i dont care what people say, but as men especially, you need to shut the hell up.

Without taking the time to Google, I'm safe to assume that he's actually Lee from The Aprentice who managed to make a name change.

I'm way better looking than he is AND I help maintain order in this lawless world by reporting anyone I know or see ripping the tags off their mattresses ....why am I not a famous actor - Ok, well semi-famous actor like he is? It's bullshit.

I'm with #25. The whole story is a bit much. If this is what happened, good for him. But the literary flourishes make me think it might be embellished. Also, not to be too much a lawyer here, but he's in murky legal water. You can help someone protect themselves, but once you start chasing the guy down and beating his ass you're opening yourself to both civil liability and criminal charges. This is especially true in a liberal place like NYC.

I say totally commendable! What they did not tell us was that whoever this dude is beat his skull in until you say the white meat. Or perhaps that is what I was hoping would happen?

Hello - the original source is Page Six, not the Washington Post. They're not exactly striving for journalistic objectivity here.

Dear Katie,
I was referring to #12, I'm sorry I didn't spell it out for you. Sometimes I forget that everything anyone writes on these posts is directed at you alone and requires your approval before anyone else can form their own opinion. And you're absolutely right, rape is never funny. Neither is murder, bigotry, racism, sexism, politics, the infirmed, the elderly, the otherwise handicapped, children, religion, animals, or inorganic matter. Now with that in mind, lets all relax and have a good time making fun of celebrities.

even shoeless, in his pjs and weilding a broomstick- this guy is more badass than the new james bond.

there- i said it.

most likely Ransone will be charged with agrevated assualt while the perp/perv goes free. Its a crime now to defend your home and family now in England is'nt it?

Katie- I wasn't making fun of rape. It's a serious issue and should be treated that way. It's just that sometimes women give off the impression that they want sex, but end up being a tease and it just frustrates men. Like yesterday, I was in line at McDonald's and I ordered a Filet 'O Fish. Then right next to me, this hot young momma ordered a Big Mac and kinda looked at me as she was ordering. I'm thinking "Big Mac, all that special sauce, extra glance at me, she's obviously wanting the big D, and honey, I don't mean Dallas." At least that what I told the cops. Man, she had some sharp fingernails! LOL!!

P.S. I'm not a man, and I'm sorry I also didn't spell that out for you by calling myself krystal2005, hotchick69, or ihaveavagina12345.

That is actually good news. No celeb I know of recently, beat some freak with a metal bar. I hope he gets some more recognition.

You know, I'm all for comedy at any hour of the day, but I have to go with our own Serious Katie (#35) on this one. RAPE IS NOT FUNNY!!!! And I love how the only people making fun of this James guy are the "stars" of this site. The guys who seem soo effin funny HERE, but in the REAL WORLD are probably just a bunch of ass clowns.

There is a time and place to give some serious respect to those who do the extraordinary. And yes, what James Ransone did WAS extraordinary, because these days very few people would do that. Risking their own life to do the right thing!!! HOw many of you "comedians" would be willing to do that??

Papa I was wanting the big D, but some where in the middle of I just lost interest. You know how fickle women are. Sorry I called the cops.

I don't care who this guy is or what he's standing in front of or that he's some unknown actor --

He stopped the rape of a woman - period. He should be commended and the rapist should be castrated to the bone.

Right fucking on!!!! What a badazzzz! I love that this comes right after the Howard Stern story yesterday, pussy

Olichka, I was making fun of what someone else said (#12), not James Ransone, not rape... damn. Maybe you and Katie should both lay off the VAULT SODA, despite its compelling, provactive taste.
By the way, I save people from violent crime every day, just because I don't have a publicist to tell you about it... give me your phone number - I'm going to go buy me a publicist and have them call you whenever I do something heroic.

This guy isnt real this is scott stapp a month into his herroin addiction trying to revive his carreer.

P.S. Your art is neat.

Thanks girl (#53)

Maybe Katie and I should lay off the VAULT, but I think that there are just certain things that deserve our respect, period. For example a funeral, no one would be cracking jokes at someones funeral. To me a hero is a hero, no matter what kind of package he comes in. I also think it's important to commend the heroes, they have to know they are valued in our lame-ass society.

ok osh kosh i see. in fact, i was surprised at your comment bc it was so, not osh kosh like.

rape still isnt funny

but yes, back to celeb bashing

Good for him!! But I gotta ask, who is he?

oshkoshb-goshdammgosh...I commend you. Seriously.
To Katie, and everyone else who is too serious all the time, I don't think any of us are trying to make it sound like this guy is a loser for saving this woman from getting raped. There is nothing wrong in finding humor in things. We are all entitled to our own opinion, whatever it may be, just as you are. So just because someone makes a joke about rapists, war, abortion, and other very serious matters, doesn't automatically mean that person thinks these things are okay. Don't jump to conclusions...just let people say what they want, if you don't like it brush it off. Don't be the all mighty censor for us.

#14

i wasnt even aware selma blair had boobs that you could see without a microscope

Uhh, I wish written saracasm was more understandable... maybe if I talked about how I just threw up in my mouth a little bit you people would fucking get it.

It seems he stopped what could have been a rape and/or murder, and for that he should be commended. But seriously, who talks like that? " "There was this Hispanic guy in a blue sweatshirt choking my neighbor and pulling his [sex organ] out," he told Page Six's Lisa Marsh. "I pictured my mom, my girlfriend and every girl I've ever loved and thought, 'Vengeance is mine.' "

No, I'm sorry. In the real world, you think "Holy fucking shit, there's a Rape In Progress goin' on here", and either you make some popcorn and grab a seat by the window or call the cops.

What he did was good, but I highly doubt it was this theatric and well choreographed. He broke through a glass door? Shouldn't he be in the hospital with serious injuries? He's painting himself as some kind of urban vigilante, stopping nefarious foes and rescuing damsels in distress. Look, Ramowhatever (he might start calling himself "Rambo", or "The Pajamaed Protector"). You did a good deed, but don't get dramatic about it. The focus should be on the victim and the assailant, not you.

Celestina #60, shut the hell up.

#58 - either her bra is stuffed or the pic is morphed.

I agree with Oshkosh - Vault KICKS ASS!

i know what he means, though. everytime i see a hispanic guy with his sex organ hanging out, my first thought is totally, "vengeance is mine!!!!"
and belieeeeeve me, i see a SHITLOAD of hispanic guys with their dicks hanging out.

Yes, the poster of big knockers is behind him... you know why? that photo was taken at what looks like the premere of the movie "A Dirty Shame"... a movie he starred in. So there is a reason it was taken with that poster behind him... it's a bit of promo.

p.s. what is VAULT? i'm starting to want some. good advertising campaign, oshkosh.

If you drink it, your breasts will look just like Hillary Swank's.

No one is posting "Haha, that woman almost got raped."

I think the comedy in this story is that a Backstreet Boy whooped someone's ass.

And who comes to this site for seriousness?

I literally 'laughed out loud' when I read this badass' account of what happened. Why??? Because what he did was *SO FUCKING AWESOME*!!!!! I hope more New Yorkers keep metal pipes by their doorways to break raping sons-of-bitches' shoulder blades in the future. James Ransone--You are so totally the man!!!!!!

Awesome. Hats off to Ransone. Whoever he is. We need more celebrities like him.

but wherever can i GET it? my dealer?

good for him! we need more men like him around. i have no idea who he is, but he sound like a great guy.

Those are some big boobs, damn.

Katie,Olichka,
Take a deep breath...
Rape isn't funny? What about Elmer Fudd raping Porky Pig, now that is funny. When you start drawing lines and stating that some things are sacrosanct and can't be joked about, you are heading down a path of fundamentalism. And yes Virginia, you can be a fundamentalist about Political Correctness.
Or I might simply point out that this site is entitled: The Superficial.

I knew there was something I liked about that nice boy who plays Christian on "One Life To Live." Kudos, young man! Perhaps this will get you a front-burner storyline now.

raping a clown could be funny

#60, Yes. Stopping a crime: good. The rest: not so much.
I dislike vigilantes and I dislike vigilantes swaggering to the media even more. Meh... someone's seen too many Bronson films.
And rape is as funny as murder and one's sex is irrelevant.

or funny

dammit i meant, raping a clown could be funny or scary. i need to lay off the crack.

This story is hardcore. Ransone officially pwns. I'm sure that after he beat this guy down, he did a 1080 off a ramp with his snowboard... and it wasn't even snowing.

Re: Rape can't be funny...

In the immortal words of George Carlin:

" I can prove to you that rape is funny. Picture Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd. See, hey why do you think they call him "Porky," eh? I know what you're going to say. "Elmer was asking for it. Elmer was coming on to Porky. Porky couldn't help himself, he got a hard- on, he got horney, he lost control, he went out of his mind." A lot of men talk like that. A lot of men think that way. They think it's the woman's fault. They like to blame the rape on the woman. Say, "she had it coming, she was wearing a short skirt." These guys think women ought to go to prison for being cock teasers. Don't seem fair to me. Don't seem right, but you can joke about it. I believe you can joke about anything. It all depends on how you construct the joke. What the exaggeration is. What the exaggeration is. Because every joke needs one exaggeration. Every joke needs one thing to be way out of proportion."

Making fun of a victim is never funny, people are right about that. But it's completely acceptable make fun of the perp or the act. Humour can be used to highlight the 'wrongness' of a particular event or action without being threatening. The result tends to make people think a little more.

I smell a PR Stunt~~

It sounds too good to be true. I think it's made up or highly exaggerated. Especially, for an up and coming actor, who is looking for press. I bet he called page six before he even caught his breath. I'm sure this story line will work it's way in to the screen play he'll be pushing next.

Kudos for getting your name in the paper... guess thats how you're going to make it.

Wow. James Ransone is Hardcore. My two bucks says the journalist who wrote this shaped the quotes a bit, but "Vengeance is mine" was definitely my favorite. In my head he said it with a baritone voice and a dangerous glint in his eye.

"As he ran after the attacker, he passed a friend walking his dog and called for him to join in the chase. "I screamed, 'Follow me! This girl almost got raped!'"

This guy is so flipping awesome it's ridiculous. He probably Is Batman. Suck on that Christian Bale!

#81, thanks for reminding me where I picked up that Elmer Fudd reference. I am not surprised that it came from Carlin (the man is comic brilliance). I am not surprised I couldn't remember who I lifted it from; The 1990s was kinda a hazy period for me.

Uh, who is this guy again? He deserves an award!

How can you "excessively beat" a rapist?

Holy smokes Batman! This guy (whoever he is) is my HERO! Unlike that fuglylameasssissyloser Howard Stern.

He plays Ziggy on season 2 of "The Wire" on HBO. Which, by the way, is one of the best shows on TV.

He's from B-More, so I could see him being a little gritty. Baltimore people fight dirty.

It's like he was put on earth to showcase what a fucking pussy Howard Stern is.

Next time he should beat the dirty spic about head though , much more effective. Staright edge to the throat also very effective when attempting to kill a rapist. Not that I'd know or anything..

Goerge Carlin is a genius, full stop.

i don't think i can get VAULT up in canad... oh shit, i let it outta the bag...

who doesnt picture there mum when they see a hispanic guy with his penis out? i dunno i think its just an excuse to run after people of different race half naked holding big metal bars...and we all need an excuse to do that from time to time.

PLEASE! no dumbing down of the sarcasm here. katie et. al. - sit down and take a deep breath! sheesh. explaining posts...i can't take it :s

so where do i find the vault? i just stopped using crank and need some energy. but if its not in Canad....its probably not in Minne....

I think they're just using us in the South as a test market for it. It's a lot like mountain dew. Drink companies do that now and then to test the popularity and effects of their products before they distribute them to the fu.... oh, shit, I gotta go. My face is melting and this time I can't lick it up... Oh, Tupac, thank god... help me get these bees out of my hair....

Vault is putrid. Every time I go to A&P I think it's Mountain Dew in a new bottle. Yikes, the horror.

thanks # 92!! as a New Yorker I was more surprised he didnt help take part in the rape!!!

wait.. wait.. is that his GRANDMA in the other picture????

I don't know who this guy is, but I want to have his bad-ass baby. Howard Stern looks even more like a giant pussy after this story of heroism.

OK, so attempted rape is horrible but assault is just fine? No, NEITHER is ok. The guy went overboard - he could have chased the Latin guy out of the building and went back to attend to the woman but he had to play the vigilante hero. The mother/sister thing was obviously thought up to make him more sympathetic...who thinks of their mother when seeing an attempted rape in progress? Come on people, this guy isn't a hero - he's an egotistical menace and I'll laugh my ass off when he's charged with assault.

#98: Chased him out of the building so he can go running down the street with his dick hanging out, and rape the next woman extra hard like because he was mad that some guy stopped his fun?

Right.

And I'll stick my thumbs in my ears, wave my fingers around and go, "nanny nanny poo poo, put away your woo woo" the next time I see a potential rape happening.

Wow, this story makes him incredibly sexy to me.

Ditto on #97, I wanna have his badass babies, TOO!

Go Ziggy! Bet he gives Wee-bay a beat down in the joint, too.

Osh-kosh: Vault is in L.A., too. Only tried it one, but it seems to me just like Mountain Dew, no?

98 - if he's charged, it probably won't be with assault, it would most likely be with battery. He hit the guy, not threatened to hit him. A really vindictive DA could go for ADW/attempted murder, but good luck selling anything more than jaywalking to a jury when the guy stopped a rape.

Who the hell is James Ransone?

"Vengeance is mine!" <--hey, that's what i like to say when i make mashed potatoes of the rapist who jumps my neighbor at night. always.

"Vengeance is mine!" <--hey, that's what i like to say when i make mashed potatoes of the rapist who jumps my neighbor at night. always.

that is 'ziggy' from the second season of one of the best dramas on television, the wire. check it out. also, its highly commendable that an actor does something besides run off at the mouth without actually doing anything, or flashing their vagina at every camera within a two continent radius.

Who is James Ransone?? who cares, I am glad he beat the crap out of that piece of shit rapist, pity he didn't kill the bastard and make the world a happier place

i have never heard of vault (maybe b/c i'm currently broke, and all our soda purchases are of 2 ltrs for .50, but i digress). viva la dew de mountanas! oh wait, i'm not hispanic...
btw, selma blair's -A boobs were augmented by serious special effects prosthetics for the film. and any movie about johnny knoxville being the master of oral sex is mediocre in my book. which is not a very big book. viva los libros! viva los [sex organs]!

Osh-Kosh...We have VAULT in California too. Maybe we are test subjects as well. I personally haven't tried the stuff as I ahte the way Mountain Dew has that too sweet taste and too thick to be called soda jive to me. More like a syrup the somehow got put into the coldbox a the store. And considering how much caffiene MD already has, VAULT is going to be like doing straight shots of caffiene. In ten years we are going to see on television how VAULT became massively addictive and then parents will want to call it the new gateway drug. Just a thought.

Save a seal, club a rapist!

I wonder if he wore his Batman pajamas or the Spiderman pajamas. Hmmmmm...

I really want him to come back to The Wire now.

Nice pull on Wee-Bay, Pez!

I want to be a vigilante now. I think it would be fun. Especially beating up hookers...because, well, everyone else gets to do it.

Don't stop beating the prick until he's dead, the only good rapist is a dead one.

Whoever he is, he's my hero!

i have no idea who he is, but i like him already.

good for him, i was attacked once and NO ONE came to my rescue....what a guy :)
MAD RESPECT TO JAMES RAMONE!!!!

#13---amen to THAT...so so true
#35, you said it all, theres nothing amusing about a woman being violated. james ramone def deserves an award, im sorry, i was attacked a few years ago, and guess fuckin what?? i was in a crowded room, and NO ONE came to help me.AND GUESS WHAT? IM SMALL, i couldnt defend myself if i had a freaking samori sword!!! and when i screamed out the window, call the cops!!!, everyone just ran out of the house ( except the fucktard who was trying to choke me) like a bunch of fuckin pussies. sorry, but im a little worked up, THAT, my friends, is where you realize whos really your friend or just a fucking jerk.<-----ha ha he went to prison!!!( the moron who attacked me, not the people i figured werent my real friends)
