A homeless man says he was looking for a place to sleep when he came upon an attempted rape and intervened early Tuesday.

Shortly before 3:30 a.m., Ketrell Ferguson, who is recently homeless, heard screams and noticed a struggle in the 3600 block of 16th Street NW. At first, he thought it was a robbery.

According to police, 23-year-old Alemen Gonzalo offered a woman money for sex, and when she refused, he allegedly tried to rape her behind a bus stop.

Ferguson said he has relatives who have been raped and he felt he had to do something. He picked up half a brick and a stick.

"As soon as he lifted his head up, I smacked him with the stick hard as I could in his head,” Ferguson said. “He fell off the lady, stumbled and I smacked him again and I just kept smacking him with the stick as hard as I could."

Marvin, are you sure Mr Ferguson's black?

Good on him for helping her. I hope that someone's able to help him get off the streets and back on his feet.

He's half black. Why do you think he's homeless? Duh!

Me too. It's hard to get a job in DC. Competition is tough if you're not skilled in IT or manual labor.

And it's even harder once you have 'no fixed address.' It's so much harder for a homeless person, even one with epic skills in an in-demand field, to get a paying job and get enough together to get a home.

Too bad he didn't have a gun, it would have been less risky than using a stick or half a brick.

Or better yet, too bad the woman didn't have a gun.

Dude, if he'd had a gun, the story wouldn't be about him stopping a rape attempt, the story would be about a homeless man murdering someone behind a bus stop. Homeless dude isn't white, he can't shoot people without it being murder.

Fox News will lead with:

'Half-white man prevents illegal Mexican from raping woman who was asking for it. Obama's unemployment crisis to blame.'

Since the "real" Americans are over in that other thread about the black guy who commits robbery with a heart transplant, I'd figure I'd fill in for some of them.

Awesome. I might be too white to wear it (though not white enough to be white where I grew up in whitey white whitton), but I'm honoured to have joined.
