Beer Saves the Day
Posted by Bossip Staff
A homeless dude saved a family from a burning building:
A Brooklyn vagrant on a breakfast beer run unexpectedly became the hobo hero of the hour yesterday when he raced into a Brooklyn apartment and rescued a father and two sons. Three other family members including a baby were saved by a selfless firefighter who gave them his oxygen mask. A seventh relative trapped in the blazing apartment was rescued by other firefighters, but later died in a hospital. The homeless man, Andre Nash, 45, kept his wits about him, using a beer-soaked rag as a mask and forcing his way through choking smoke in the burning apartment at the Lafayette Gardens housing project in Fort Greene. Nash admitted that he had just bought two cans of beer at a deli shortly before 8 a.m. when he stumbled upon a hysterical boy begging for help and pointing to the 11th floor, where a panicked mom, Sheohna Taylor, 20, was dangling her 14-month-old son, Roshawon, out the window.
Nash, who often calls a park bench home, raced up to the apartment and, through billowing, black smoke, guided Terence Taylor and his two school-age sons, Brandon and L.T., out into the hall and to safety. “I wasn’t even worried about my life,” Nash said. “I am the guardian angel of the building. I just reacted.”
See what a morning bottle of Schlitz Malt Liquor can do, he almost saved an entire family.

Good Job.
Wow. He gets an A+ for the day. I love to see selfless acts like these. Um, I wonder if he will be rewarded and if so what will he be rewarded with?
Damn.Makes u keep hope ALIVE!
I 2nd that.. Awesome job…..
Thats crazy. Thats my old buildings
I happened to see this on the news yesterday. Me and my boo had a good laugh. Leave it to black folks to get real creative when it comes to crunch time.
Ooops. At first glance he looked like Bobby Brown on a regular day. Good job though brutha!!!!
That’s a real dude right there. Somebody hook ‘im up with a liquor store credit STAT.
I really don’t miss living in Fort Greene. ALWAYS DRAMA! lol!
I just want to know who in the hell was taking the pictures of people trapped in a burning building instead of doing something more productive?!
He deserves to have an all expenses tab at the local bar for the next year. He is such a hero is a funny kind of way. This reminds me of a scetch on In Living Color from back in the day. Cheers!
THAT IS REALLY AWESOME!! I AM GLAD THAT MAN WAS THERE, BEER SOAKED AND ALL. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW…YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOUR ANGEL WILL BE.
Hoping the city hooks this dude up w/ a lil’ something for putting his life on the line. We always callin’ firefighters heroes and they get paid…now THIS dude definitely did it out of true comp*****ion.
Thank God for this man, but this ***** is funny as a muh*****a……… whew!!!! Like the even more ghetto version of Blankman. LOL.
I wish I could buy this dude an ice cold 40…
OBAMA 08!
Kudos to the “brokedown” version of Leon (from the five heartbeats and waiting to exhale)lol, I know it’s wrong but seriously, that’s who he reminds me of!
Way to go! I hope he’s rewarded…perhaps with an opportunity to turn his life around, like a job, housing–you know, a real chance. He deserves it!
Way to go man, your blessing will come.
Now! give that man a job ASAP!!!!
Damn I thought that was Bobby Brown for a minute rocking some beard swag… Good for him, hope they break him off a lil something.
They should set him up with a P.O Box and people can send him donations(money,beer,liquor,Newports)
That was a “Blackguyver” moment if I heard one. I hope he gets an endorsement deal or something from the beer company he was supporting. Can you imagine the commercial?
“Drink ____ beer. Less filling and saves lives”
he gets a “at a boy.” the people who so-called have nothing have all the heart. he’ll be off the streets now. soon he’ll be in the club wit his drink and his two step with that boss swag
@ The Brown Hornet…
LMBAO @ the “Blackguyver” moment.
God will surely bless him for being selfless.
Ps. I hope the blessing does not include beer, liquor or any other method being used to systemically destroy the black community.
hopefully some hooks him up with a spot and some beer
someone*
Lifetime supply of 12 packs is in order for him I think.
I hope someone pays it forward and does something good for him.
WOW THEM BEER RUNS AINT WHA THEY USED TO BE
BUT THANK GOD DUDE WAS AROUND
PEEP THA NEW SLAP

You know what…this is some bull*****!! The man is down on his luck, and clearly needs help his damn self and it’s great that he was able to help save the family but all the ignorant ***** comments about buying him a beer and cigarettes is just wrong. How about someone saying to give the man a job and a place to stay?!?!
@Golden THANK YOU!!! Thats what I was thinking if you gonna HOOK someone up how about a home, a job, food, clothes.
Instead of some bull ish — I.E 12 packs, bar tabs 40’s come on now–how does that help him?
Go in use his free bar tab and then leave and go sleep on the park bench– UM OKAYYEE SMH
@paigy —CO SIGN CO SIGN CO SIGN COSIGN!!!!
Wow thats some deep ***** …how much yall think he gon get for his rewards lol?
lmfao at the more beer comments LMFAO!!! LOL…TERRIBLE
Honeydipt
Kudos to the “brokedown” version of Leon (from the five heartbeats and waiting to exhale
*******IM DEAD********
Bless his lil drunken heart. Hopefully someone helps him out with something.
This should make folks think twice about looking down on the downtrodden. He could be the man that saves your life in the end. Big-ups to the firefighters too. They are some drunken fools themselves but they know how to party and still get the job done.
he did so good a shorty out there need to hook fam up wit some of that good, he probably want a night or two at “Scores.” Howard Stern will probably put him on with a babe. see what he do for beatlejuice lol
@Peaches put him on with some lol
He will now be spoken in the same breath as MLK, Malcolm X, and Marcus Garvey.
LMAO@ breakfast beer run…. seriously though I’m glad he was able to help those people…and how is it that he didn’t catch on fire himself with a beer-soaked towel on his face?
@paigy —CO SIGN CO SIGN CO SIGN COSIGN!!!!
@ Miss Dee -—CO SIGN CO SIGN CO SIGN COSIGN!!!!
It just goes to show you how ignorant and uncouth people can be. Hell that homeless man or woman could be them one day. But ya know. ANYWAY Congrats to this man, and May God bless him!!
no yall know yall wrong as hell on these comments. no wonder why black america is *****ed up the way it is now. what if that was you. *****ody is promised tomorrow and god will take ***** everything away from you in a flat rate nanoseocnd
i commend the brother for helping out that family. now thats what an angel is all about.
he gets my kudos and i hope i can send him something for his troubles.
Ya’ll are Funny!
I was wondering the same thing about this guy not catching on fire…glad he didn’t tho Unless he was a white guy b4 the beer run..lol
.
The comments are funny as hell! I think those that are upset are taking the jokes to serious. We all know that he did a damn good deed. Kudos to the homeless man. He should be given some shelter and food atleast for his heroism.
i need to see him him. i get him a case of 40 oz.
@ Deafjam04
See thats the kind of stuff I liek to hear!!lol
I just think that sometimes certain things shouldn’t be made a joke of, thats all. And I honestly think that people forget that hard times can happen to anyone of us. Thats all I was tryna say.
angelz come in all formz ya’ll…God Bless Him & All Ya’ll…
…..and some people are just clowns but karma is a biotch!!!!
8am beer run!? gawd bless .. why his fingers so fat? anyway, he look just like my DRUNK uncle Max
Crazy, thats right near my college….
You never know who your hero might be. I bet he gets treated like ***** everyday. I bet if people saw him in need they would not help him. Yet he did the complete opposite, with the help of beer at that…
another thing .. which architect puts burgler bars on the 16th floor? ain’t no black trying to break in .. that bad!
Meeko from Detroit send that ni some *****, he gonna need it all the beer he gone get lol
cool
This should make folks think twice about looking down on the downtrodden. He could be the man that saves your life in the end. Big-ups to the firefighters too. They are some drunken fools themselves but they know how to party and still get the job done.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
that’s right ma….
I ALWAYS say, -You never know who you’re *****ting on when you acting all siddity with people.I don’t judge them *****s.When they ask me for “change for food” coming out of the corner spot, I tell um straight up – “You aint fooling *****ody *****, you tryna get high. But here, take this ***** man, I know you just tryna get your head right, that’s on you” We all have people (well I do) in our communt=ities/family that are in them streets – whether they’re a functioning addict, or what not. I don’t judge folk, we all have our habits…
Just as a side note……Roshawon??? But I’m saying though…..how in the hell does one even *****OUNCE that?
I think whoever read that should have shown the man a lil more respect and not called him the “Hobo Hero” like damn, he’s a man if nothing else. He did a selfless act and basically gets made of fun of by the journalist who wrote this piece.
*wrote that*
@Bless the Child
Roshawon – I was thinking jus’ the same haha..!
I wish when it’s my turn I will have the courage to follow this good man’s example.
some of yall really need to calm down…i am 100% sure the people who said reward him wit beer and a liquor store were just messing around…but no yall wanna take things to another level and talk about thats why the black community is failing…shut up n sit down…n yall talking bout he should get a home and food and all that but yall the first ones holding on extra tight to ur cash flow…wow but yo did anybody peep the names..omg i was dying just from those ghetto names…on all seriousness tho KUDOS TO HIM….i respect that
Bossip, if you can find a way (research this please) for people to send the homeless man money (an address), I think that would be a great thing. He especially deserves a reward and a second chance at life for saving the lives of others.
Dude looks like Leon a few days after being kicked out of the Five Heartbeats!

You gotta luv my BK brothas! Even the bums are arrogant! Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Schlitz KNOW they need to get a brotha up in a commercial!
I can see it now!!!!
This reminds me of that guy who saved that other guy from hitting the 3rd rail and getting electrocuted. I look up and the brotha was on Ellen with his kids, he got a new Jeep Cherokee and the kids got a computer and somebody gave him a job!
You gotta luv them New Yorkers!!!!
Oh and the Lawyers tried to get him for his money! Still–they was NYers too! Lol!!!
I hope he can get his life back in track… great job!
Awww, Eddie Kang saves the day. Hope and change. Hope and change
Rashowan–
We know the mother is black but is the father Jewish?
Speaking of names–
This is rather ironic. Tyra’s subject of her show today was how we judge people based on their names.
That annoying tart’s show WAS rather interesting!
Shaqwandeesha=Black
Nyuet-tyet=Asian
Mandee=Lower cl***** white.
Grace=Upper cl***** white.
Jesus= Well, you guessed it!
Ana Maria= OK. You’re two for two! Lol!!!!!!!
Althoguh that would be perceived, she had some people with some names that would fool us, too!
*Although
@1 FakeDiva
I guess based upon your comment you cl*****ify hispanics based upon being named Jesus or like my name Ana. Stupid ***** you are!
@ 1FakeDiva w/o Vocals..
Shut the ***** up! What the ***** are you taking about? Just shut up. RACIST!!! Your ***** Need to Be Stoned. What race am I???
Someone get this man some Olde English stat!!! That was very honorable on his part.
GOD BLESS HIM!
How many other so called “Black Men” would save someones life like that???
If that had been 99% of todays “black men” those people would be dead…
Get that man Rehab, Work, & a Home!!!!!!!
I HOPE SOMEONE REWARDS HIM BESIDES ALLAH.
I hope the city compensated him in some way!
The C word is so unlady like.
There are still good samaritans in the world and chivalry is NOT dead.
good for him!
If I see that man I’m going to buy him a case of any beer he want.Good job big homie.
Good job
FIRST OFF THE LG PROJECTS IS NOT IN FORTGREENE
This man is a hero. God bless him.
