When i heard about it is pissed me off. What are your thoughts on this
matter.

i've seen and like the show but i don't know all of the facts about why
they didn't comply with what the mexican officials wanted, it's hard to
imagine that he would have done it without a legal explanation. dog
seems to be pretty law abiding, it just makes me wonder what they faced
when they were trying to bring that guy back.

on a&e they are having a special interview with the family about the
whole thing it's on tuesday night at 11pm my time and i'm pacific time
look for on a&e I have already heard a bit about it and have been
watching the show for a long time now, I think that if you watch it
you'll find out that it's completely bull shit, any way have a good one
man.

if it is bullshit i hope that everything gets taken care of quickly so
they can get back home.

thanks, you enjoy your sunday.

thank you and enjoy yours too.

Dog was hunting down a man(?) who was a serial rapist and heir
to the Max Factor cosmetics fortune. This dirtbag has alot of
money and Dog knew if he turned him over to the Mexican "authorities"
(which has a long history of taking bribes) that there was a good chance
this man would have been
let go and gone back into hiding. He did the right thing in
my opinion. Our government needs to have more backbone! Our
government NEEDED to tell the Mexican authorities that Dog Chapman got a
serial rapist off the streets and if they didn't
like it, TOUGH! Do you think the Mexican government would care
how we felt if someone came here, took a bad guy off the streets, and
brought him back to Mexico to face justice? Hell
no!

i thought that might be the reasoning behind it but did not here
anything official from the producers of the show or his family so i
wasn't sure what kind of problem the mexican government would have with
him. i don't know what the guidelines are for a bounty hunter in that
situation, whether they take him back theirselves or they turn him over
to the country or state they are in a t the time of capture for
extradition. if it was for fear of that guy bribing the officials for a
release then i think he did the right thing and i hope he is home with
his family soon.
what happened to the guy they captured?

I watch The Bounty Hunter, and it's a good show.

Bounty hunting privledges do not extend into Mexico. When the Chapmans
jumped down there to try to earn that huge bounty on Luster, they
thought they could do things the way they do it in Hawaii. Wrong answer,
Brah ~ they were in Mexico and subject to Mexico's laws...just as you or
I would be if we went.

Against Mexican law, they took Luster into their "custody". In Mexico,
they call that kidnapping, just as if some quasi-authority from (for
example) Turkey and left our country with them.

The Chapmans were arrested and ordered to turn Luster over to Mexican
authorities. They promised that they would, but in fact, had no
intention of complying because Luster had already left the country in
the hands of Chapman associates.

They also promised to return to Mexico to stand trial for kidnapping.
They did not return, and had no intention of doing so. In THIS country,
that is what Andrew Luster did!

In a sentence, Andrew Chapman and Duane Luster are both international
bail-jumpers.

"Brah, you should have gone to court..."

IF I WERE HIM I WOULD HAVE DONE WHATEVER TO CATCH THAT FUCKER HE
CAUGHT,NO MATTER WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES,THATS WHAT HE HAS DONE.IF THERE
WERE MORE PEOPLE LIKE HIM IN THE WORLD,IT WOULD BE A FAR BETTER
PLACE...HE'S GONNA BE OK BUT YEAH,IT WAS SHIT THAT HE GOT ARRESTED FOR
BRINGING IN THAT SCUMBAG...MY DAUGHTERS ARE SAFE.

Kat,
I will admit that it is ironic that Dog is in trouble now for
the very thing that he hunts fugitives for (failure to appear in
court). I will also give it to you that he probably did do what
he did cos he wanted to get paid. That said....
about a month or two ago two US Border Patrol agents were
chasing a suspected drug dealer coming in from Mexico
and they shot him (after they themselves were shot at).
The suspected drug dealer got FULL IMMUNITY in exchange for
testifying against these two courageous law enforcement officers. Now I
give you this- From what I've heard these
Border Patrol agents had no authority to chase this drug dealer,
but they were doing the right thing and got screwed. Dog,
tho probably motivated by a payday, still did the right thing
in my book by getting a serial rapist off the street and he's
being screwed. I won't say that Dog was totally in the right
by breaking Mexican law but to me the ends justify the means.
P.S.- Kat, you seem like a very cool lady who speaks her mind.
I like that!

dog has always been about helping people, he just uses it to feed his
family and everyone has to do that.

Folks,

I'm not defending Andrew Luster or any other accused ~ Lord knows I've
had my share of issues with authority! What I'm saying is that Duane
Chapman didn't "color inside the lines", and whether you are actually
law enforcement or only a peripheral player in the game, you need to
have what's referred to as "clean hands". That means you cannot have
any responsibility in a situation to have the right to accuse another.

I love getting 'amped' when watching these type of shows! But when he
went to Mexico, he should have obeyed their laws in his handling of
Andrew Luster. He didn't, he got caught, and now he's paying for it.

Them's the facts...we ain't gotta like it.

Kat

Mitch, Jimi, Paterafan, I'm not arguing with you; I'm not that way. But
in reference to all of your last posts about "using it to help his
family"...come on now! If it were OK to "do whatever necessary to help
family, then you don't need to watch the news.

Crack dealers are supplying unfortunates with a drug that ruins lives
(the life of the crackhead, the lives of the crackhead's family, and the
lives of the people whose possessions are stolen to feed that habit).

Child pornographers are victimizing our young by preying on them for
their personal gain (both sexual, emotional and financial gain).

Hookers are breaking the hearts of families who suffer because Daddy
spent the milk money on a blow job.

Extortionists...bank robbers...coyotes moving illegals...
THEY are all just helping their families, too.

Do the ends STILL justify the means? Is it OK for all the above to do
what they do...because they're HELPING their families?

I hardly think so.

Kat

he made a mistake, i'm sure that he will pay for his mistake in some way
or the other but if he did it for the reason that i think it was done i
can understand where he is coming from. shit happens and i think their
might have been some emotion involved but he is an emotional type of
person. he seems to have alot of passion for what he is doing and the
people that are involved(on either side). kat is right about following
the letter of the law but i doubt that dog did it intentionally to
disrepect the mexican government or the laws of their land. things
happen for different reasons and it will be taken care of soon.

I hate to say this, but I think Dog was more motivated by the paycheque
on this one. If he really wanted him off the streets then he should have
got a hold of the US Dept.of Justice and arranged for them to "lean" on
the Mexican authourities...Back in the Reagan years, the US Marshalls
picked up more then one scumbag that hightailed it to Mexico, WITH the
co-operation of Mexican authorities. So I say, Dog may have been doing
the right thing tagging that asshole, but he went about it the wrong
way.

i thought that this was bullshit as well!! i also watch the show all the
time, not to mention his son leland is very hottt, but when isaw this on
the news, i thought it was a joke!! i think that he didn't know the law
in mexico, because how he is now a days, he wouldn't have done it, he's
into laws and god very much, he's a very good guy!!
