DOG The Bounty Hunter ARRESTED!

[BEST45CAL]

MSNBC has learned that U.S. officials have arrested TV reality star Duane "Dog" Chapman and two family members for extradition to Mexico.


Chapman's wife told MSNBC's Rita Cosby that heavily armed U.S. marshals arrived at the family's house today and took away Chapman, his brother, Tim, and son, Leland.

Doggone it!

[Wolfcounsel]

Bounty hunting is considered a crime in Mexico. --from BEST45CAL's link

Most Americans already know Mexico is an anal-retentive country. It's just doing its ever-increasing job of making it safe for murderers and other criminals to hang out there. How dare Dog go there to bring a rapist to justice?

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

That is just SO stupid! I read the whole article ... Mexico is upset because a BOUNTY HUNTER found a killer (on THEIR territory) and brought him to justice. Yeah, this makes a lot of sense.

From the cited source:
"In 2003, the Chapmans went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to retrieve Max Factor heir Andrew Luster, who was wanted in the U.S. on rape charges.

Luster is now in jail, serving a 124-year term, but at the time, the Chapmans were also jailed by Mexican authorities for a brief time three years ago.

Bounty hunting is considered a crime in Mexico."

And yet, WE can't do anything about THEIR citizens that flow like a river through our borders ILLEGALLY! Yeah, makes loads of sense.

[Lazarus]

Well by all means, we must accomodate the Mexican government... Afterall its been such a staunch ally and good neighbor of the US for so many years...

Everyday I think I've seen it all, but then the federal government crawls in deeper to give Vicente Fox's hemmoroids another thorough licking...

Bounty hunting is considered a crime in Mexico.Correction: Law and Order is considered a crime in Mexico... One wonders why the Mexican government didnt arrest the rapist and extradict him to the US... One wonders why a private contractor, an America bounty hunter, had to go after him...

Law Enforcement is such a funny business in Mexico... What a model of western civilization they are south of the border...

[Antigone]

This whole thing stinks to high heaven.

[Kathy30]

First two BP agents face 20 years for doing their jobs in stopping a drug dealer, then this for catching a killer.

Seems like a pattern is forming.

[Gonzo67]

I have to admit, I have mixed feelings about this.

On one hand, I hate seeing the Mexishit Government get anything they want. And I am a firm believer that anything that can be done to violate "Mexican Sovereignty" has to be good.

And on the other hand, I hate "Dog". The guy is so full of shit. With that bullshit tribal arm band, that butt ugly pig of a wife, those little wanna be wiggers he calls "sons", there just aren't enough 4 letter words in the English language to adequately express how much I despise that asshole. And the thought of him and a couple of his wanna be clones doing an 8 year stretch in a Mexishit prison just makes me giggle like a little virgin girl on prom night.

[Incident_command]

Give em Dog if they also take back the 2-3 million wetbacks who violated our law.

If not I hope we tell em to blow it out their a$$.

[Peachdiane]

Sure hope that's not inches!

Anyway IC nailed it. Let's send back all the Mexican lawbreakers here also.

[Wolfcounsel]

If that's centimeters, he's kind of short. Otherwise, he's about 7 feet and a half.

[Apollo5600]

He is short, it's the boots that make him taller.

[Apollo5600]

I for one love Dog, and would love to do what he does. I'd also like to be a Soldier of Fortune deep in the ME hunting down Bin Laden, and then afterwards President of the United States, and later, World Emperor. Yes, I am a dreamer.

[Peachdiane]

Sites say Duane Dog Chapman's actual height is 5 ft 7 in (170 cm)

If that's centimeters, he's kind of short.

If that's centimeters, he's 37 inches short!

[DoctorDoom]

Mexicans use the length of the average male's riata as their unit of measurement.

[Gonzo67]

Mexicans use the length of the average male's riata as their unit of measurement.


So.... you're saying he's a big dick?

[DeclinetoState]

Regarding the mug shot, even though it looks like 90 cm, it's undoubtedly 1 m 90 cm, making him 190 cm, or about 6'3".

[TechnoPrincess]

Regarding the mug shot, even though it looks like 90 cm, it's undoubtedly 1 m 90 cm, making him 190 cm, or about 6'3".

Yeah, you can see the M2 just above his head...

However, he has like 3" of hair standing up there...so probably a little shorter than 190 :lol:

[TechnoPrincess]

Dog is 5’7’’ and admits to using customized boots to increase his height to 5’10’’

[Apollo5600]

8 years potential in Mexican Prison? Forget that! Mexico never respects our Laws, and even assists its citizens in getting over the border. If I was President and heard about this, I would have put a stop to this on those grounds alone.

My mother has been worried about him, she says all those Mexicans in charge are corrupt SOBs... She should know, she was born there!

[Apollo5600]

Hawaii strikes me as pretty commie too. I seem to recall some libs there wanting to split from the USA, and from episodes of Dog the Bounty Hunter, there was an instance where a fugitive was hiding at a homeless shelter (or something like that). The commies who ran the place would not let him go inside to get him, and they would not even let the cops search either. They told the cops that he went out the back, but the cops knew they were lying, and said to Dog "they probably have him hidden in there", but for some reason their hands were tied.

[DesertFox]

I seen something on the Dog on tv oncet. According to that, the Dog is one of the best bounty hunters around. Guess if you're that ugly you oughtta be good at something.

[hdmundt]

'Looks like we've got yet another limp-dick DOJ. 'Might as well have Janet El Reno back at the helm. Sending an American citizen to Mexico for anything short of a truly heinous crime is beyond stupid. Send 'em back their own damned criminals - violent and otherwise.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Dog may be a bit "over-the-top," but if he gets the job done, I say more power to him. He turned his life around, he's trying to do good in his community, and he really is a hero to the many young people he speaks to (he volunteers to go to schools and so forth to speak to the kids). His dramatics grate on my nerve sometimes, and I totally cannot STAND that thing he's "married" to (did they ever GET married? I thought I saw a preview for an upcoming episode that shows their wedding), BUT, he is trying to make a difference and I think for that, he totally deserves the credit.

[Marcster]

His legal defense fund should start selling "Unleash the Dog" t-shirts! http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Non-Smiling/idea1.gif

[Pennville_Bill]

Doggone!
A joke of a bail agent in the clutches of a joke of a legal system. And people say God doesn't have a sense of humor.......

Onlies thing is Lub, with their appearance they more easily blend in with their surroundings, don't stand out quite as much. If they were bounty hunting in Versaci suits (is there such an aminal? :smirky: ), I think they'd be hard pressed to round up as many baddies as they do, :biggrin: .

[Peachdiane]

:lol: Homes hit the nail on the head.... their work takes them into all the rough spots... the drug dens, seedy hotels, etc.

[Wolfcounsel]

The thing is, I smell American panderers to the Mexican buttholes. Does anybody else? Gonzalez, break out your flag with the cannon on it, point it at Meheeco, and change the words to Come and take him.

[Lubbock]

Oh, I'll grant you, Wrangler jeans and Ropers wouldn't cut it in their environment.


But that's why they do waht they do, and I stay out of their environment. I have a real hang up about people who don't "look" clean.

I never liked Elvis Presley. He always looked loke he needed a bath and his har washed.

For the record, I'm a DOG fan. It's appointment television for me. I live to watch Beth buckle the seatbelt around her "chest".

[Gonzo67]

Them there is fightin' words.

[DesertFox]

Well, I think the Dog should dress up in a tux with long-sleeved white shirt and tails and bowtie and cummerbun and suspenders and a derby hat and white spats and gloves when he corners one a them bad guys. And his hair should be dyed jet black and greased back, and he should wear black shoes with white tongues and red sox.

[Gonzo67]

And instead of yelling "STOP RIGHT THERE!" He could break into a rousing chorus of "Puttin' On The Ritz".

[USAFMom]

Gonzo, Just be happy Beth's not wearing a bikini and Dog has most of his body covered most of the time. It doesn't matter if they look and act like white trash, as long as they get the bad guys off the street. He used to be one of the bad guys so he's good at catching them. Unfortunately, he didn't have some lawyer in a Gucci suite to tell him he couldn't hunt in Mexico. It's sad the State Dept hasn't stepped in on his behalf and put this whole goat rope to rest. Maybe Condoleeza Rice can get involved!

[Lazarus]

Welcome aboard, Air Force Mom... Happy to have you join us...:)

[Peachdiane]

Welcome!!!!!

I used to joke I'd like to revoke my US citizenship and become illegal then I could get all the perks and benefits and rights they do....

Well perhaps Dog could convert to Mexican, then come back across the border as an illegal. Then he will most definitely have more protection and rights by the US government than actual American citizens have.

FREE THE DOG!

[Gonzo67]

Gonzo, Just be happy Beth's not wearing a bikini and Dog has most of his body covered most of the time. It doesn't matter if they look and act like white trash, as long as they get the bad guys off the street.


I have no problem with "white trash". Hell, I AM "white trash". That is not why I despise the mutt and his pack.

They are plastic. They are phony. They act like what they are not. Listen to that bitch of his (and yes, it IS accurate, if he wants to be a "Dog" then that would make Beth his "bitch") and the rest of them talk. They swear more than me, and that's no easy task. They run around, act like truckers on crack, run their mouth, and then have the BALLS to do their little "prayer sessions", and the public eats it up. "Oh look, they're good Christians, they're doing God's work"... BULLSHIT. It's nothing but an act. Perform for the cameras like a bunch of dancing chimps.

The only "Dog" episode I want to see, is when he runs in acting like his usual "Billy Bad Ass Self", and pulls his little can of pepper spray, only to have one of the criminals he chases turn on him and put the barrel of a gun in his face. THATS the episode I want to see.

Oh, and Welcome to Freecers ;)

[DesertFox]

Welcome, USAFmom.

[Lubbock]

Glad you're here, USAFMom.

[Lazarus]

...They swear more than me, and that's no easy task. They run around, act like truckers on crack, run their mouth, and then have the BALLS to do their little "prayer sessions"...Whereas you dont pray, is that it? Yes, I see the difference now... Its subtle, but now that you point it out I do see it... I stand corrected... :smirky:

[Peachdiane]

I like scruffy guys so Dog's appearance doesn't bother me...

I knew a clean cut guy who dressed as a scruffy biker just for a Sunday. Most churches turned him away.

Reminds me of a story. Moral of the story... don't judge an angel by their tattoos.

So There I was...

...at a truck stop on interstate 40 in New Mexico. A 30-ish Hispanic trucker was sitting at the counter next to me. He kept stealing glances my way, presumably because of my black leathers and the motorcycle helmet next to my plate.

"My name's Hector, you out on the road?"

"Yep"

"All alone?"

"Mostly, I'm on my way home to Oregon from Texas." (Hector looked impressed)

"I used to be a Disciple."

"Excuse me?"

"Back east, I rode with The Disciples"

(Ah, the motorcycle gang, The Disciples) "I see."

"When I got to LA, I rode with "The Chosen Few."

"Well, it's nice to have friends."

"Sure is, you should find some; it's safer."

I told him that I sometimes rode with angels.

"No s**t."

"Not those angels - the ones who work for God." (Hector looked confused)

Over lunch, Hector regaled me with stories from his experiences as a "1%'er" (a member of an "outlaw" biker gang, also a reference to the motorcycle brotherhood). Having immediately accepted me, he especially dwelt on stories about how the citizens (that would be you guys) misunderstand the bikers (that would be us).

I especially remember one story he told me about. He was out riding with about 50 or so of "The Few." They were rumbling along in formation out in the middle of nowhere when they came across an elderly couple in a big, old, Buick with a flat tire. Now you may not believe it, but bikers live under a strict code of conduct; it may not be your ethic, but an ethic it clearly is. They consider themselves to be good Samaritans, and children, the elderly and other bikers often fall under protected status.

So on that day "The Few" pulled over, en masse, to render assistance. For some unfathomable reason the elderly couple would not get out of the car. "The Few" did get them to pop the trunk where they found the spare tire. Unfortunately, the citizens did not have a jack.

"What kind of crazy people drive a car without a jack?" asked Hector.

"I do not know - people are unexplainable, my friend."

"This is true."

Being creative, a dozen or so of the boys gathered around the car and lifted the rear off the ground just enough for Hector and another man to change the tire. The moral of the story, according to Hector, is that some people don't know an angel when they see one.

"Ha! I made a joke - we weren't Angels - we were the Chosen Few."

"You are a funny man, Hector."

My biker friend was right, in a limited sort of a way; people are crazy. Some don't know a rescue when they see it; and some don't know what a neighbor looks like. Many see threats where there are none. But Hector's world was still divided into citizens and bikers. Categories of humans: Us versus Them. And that is just not right.

The truth is, at times we're all old and weak and sitting in a cosmic Buick with a flat tire and no jack. And at other times we are the one with all the friends ready to gather around and lift. The key is to be attentive enough to see a need and pull over, or to be willing to see help arriving no matter what it looks like.

My wife never fails to comment on Beth's rent-a-chest. If you've ever seen the pilot episode for Dog, you may have noticed that Beth had D cups at best. Now she's got those monsterous F cup silcon things shoved up out of her shirt. Tacky...

[MSGT]

Charges have been pending against the three since local police in Mexico arrested them shortly after they roped in Luster. They posted bail but never returned to Puerto Villarta for their court hearing on July 15, 2003, Credic said.

Laz messes up his hair and makes a note to stop shaving... :biggrin::lol: As a trucker it was easier for Dave to be scruffy. Not so with new job. Dave does "Dog" on the weekends and then it's back to being clean shaven on Monday with ironed work duds.

What the heck are spider-bots? I saw that the other day, and have been meaning to ask someone.

Not to derail the thread, but I'm curious.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Doc can probably explain it better than I can Lub (I asked the very same question a while ago), but I'll give it a try. It's the "feelers" put out by search engines when they are searching keywords. If a search keyword is found at FC, a spider-bot shows up as a "guest" looking at the site/forums/threads.

Did I get that right, Doc?

Now 'Dog' does get cheesy sometimes but I say piss on Mexico. He appears to posture alot but he ain't no lib and he's pushing his 'hollywood career' which will always looks plastic. He's working for what he's got and doing good while at it.

I'm sick of that country. http://www.aztlan.net/burn_mexican_flag.gif

Sign the petition. He's an American and even if we disagree with the way some people act at times, he's one of us.

[Dakota_Cowboy]

Too bad. Can anyone explain why our country acts civilized with a shithole like Mexico? They don't respect us, never have, never will. We ought to whip some ass for that Pancho Villa massacre years ago. Hopefully we get serious about the border one day. Maybe we should have Fox pay us for every wetback that comes across. If he doesn't pay then we'll screw him any way we can.

[MSGT]

The more I think about this the more upset I get.

Mexico, didn't return a CONVICTED RAPIST, yet they want us to send them the person that brought him to justice.

Mexico has millions of illegals in our country that they do nothing but encourage and want anyone to abide by their laws.:finger:

Report: All Mexican Charges May Have Been Dropped Against Bounty Hunter Duane 'Dog' Chapman
Thursday, August 02, 2007

All criminal charges may have been dropped in Mexico against TV bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman, his son and another member of his crew for capturing a convicted American rapist on the lam four years ago, TMZ reported Thursday.

A Mexican federal court had charged Chapman, 53, and the others with deprivation of liberty for seizing Andrew Luster, an heir to the Max Factor cosmetics fortune, in June 2003 in Puerto Vallarta.

Chapman was awaiting a possible extradition to Mexico and a criminal trial there. He faced four years in a Mexican jail if convicted.

Luster, a serial rapist, was wanted by U.S. courts when Chapman caught him. He's now serving a 124-year prison sentence....http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,291851,00.html

[Patriot Heart]

What a relief that once in a while justice is served.

[DoctorDoom]

Mexico may have decided that given the loathing of the country by Americans, it would be counterproductive to give us yet another reason to demand nuking Mexico City into glowing rubble.
