What kind of BS is this....Our government is just mad because they are not the hero and they cannot get any taxes off of this. I really wish our government could live on the otherside just one time and let somebody like Luster hurt their family or something. Maybe then they could appreciate the job and the risk that Duane and his family took. They do it because it is in The Dog's heart to help people and sometimes tough love is the way to go. I look up to him and the family for taking such a risk to give his counrty what he thought to be protection. Thank you Dog and all the family.. Screw anyone that thinks otherwise..
This is outrageous. What case is there to work on, the Mexican Gov threw out all charges so hense there is no case. Our govn't needs to open their eyes alot more and see what's going on. This is a free country and our govn't is suppost to protect our citizens, after all we do pay their wages don't we. Our tax dollars are being spent without our consent and now look, good people like the Chapman's are being treated like dogs.
It is not right, not right at all.
Another example of the out of control legal system and the total lack of common sense pervasive in it. Dog is a major success story in changing his life for the better and preforms a service to the country that he loves. Shame on the judge, shame on the prosecutors, shame on all who are causing this fine man and his family these troubles.
Duane Chapman and his associates captured one of this country's most deplorable rapist and brought him back to the US to face the justice that our court has handed down. The Mexican government has dropped all of the charges and our own country has the audacity to still hold him liable. Our country should be singing his praises and thanking him for a job well done. He wanted this rapist to be held accountable for his actions and not reek havoc on the women of Mexico. Come on, who is riding reign on this judge who would do such a thing? Maybe this judge needs his fifteen minutes of fame. It would be interesting to know what kind of connection he has with the cosmetic heir's company. Hmmmmmmm!!!!!
That guy needs some punches to his ego. LOL. Maybe they can give him a decent hair cut over there.
There's a part of the situation most people don't understand.
In international law, the country that has the defendant (in this case, the USA) has to represent the interests of the foreign government (in this case, Mexico.)
So, the USA (whether they like it or not) is essentially representing Mexico in this case. Although the Mexican judge has thrown out the charges, according to news stories, the Mexican prosecutor has filed an appeal. So, the case is not totally over.
It seems the US government would prefer to just keep the bond in place until the appeals process is over. Otherwise, the government would have let Dog free and then have to go pick him up again. They probably think, 'Why bother to let him go if they may have to pick him up again?'
It's not like Dog is in jail -- Dog is free to travel for his work and TV show, with court permission.
Hopefully, this will all get resolved soon and the bond will be released.
But, the wheels of justice turn slowly.
Dog, thank you for going down and getting Luster and hopefully this will be over soon.
Follow the money...I absolutly believe that Andrew Luster, the guy that Dog brought to justice, has paid the Mexican authorities to pursue this case to the fullest. And it would not surprise me if this judge and/or his family is getting a kick-back in the form of money, trips or other.
Follow the money trail. It always tells the story.
Yea, the Dog shall prevail.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:13
Our Robed Masters need a dose of accountability.
da dawg rules! arf arf
I think we're going a bit too far with the hero worship stuff when we suggest that the Chapman's have had an impact on the nation as a whole. They catch criminals because it pays not because they have this moral fiber to clean up our streets. And what you see on TV is entertainment i.e. it is designed to entertain you not serve as a role model. With that said he did bring a serial rapist to justice and so our govt. should reward him for that. Especially if the Mexcians have dropped all charges.
whats so special about this guy?
he is a bounty hunter just like any other guy, he does it for the money, plain and simple.
And obviously not a very good one either if he cant even do his job without getting into legal problems.
He got what he deserved, maybe next time he will more thoroughly plan his next project before he just storms in and legally messes everything up again.
Let me get this straight...
Our country can't catch sexual predator Andrew Luster so Dog takes it upon himself to nab him. He catches him, Luster's brought to justice, convicted and is in jail. The Dog is then apprehended for breaking Mexican law, Mexico acquiesces and forgives Dog but now the U.S. wants to try him? And we call this the home of the free? Don't you think the framing fathers would have looked at this series of actions in disbelief and said, 'What...you're kidding right?' There doesn't appear to be a lick of due process attached to this seemingly punitive measure our government is aggressively pursuing with Dog Chapman. Forget about all the great things this man has done, the obstacles he's overcome and the lives he's changed to the good. Is this really the kind of work our government should be doing? Ultimately, what's the purpose of all this? What message are they sending to U.S. citizens? Two words come to mind...travesty and tragedy. Free Dog Chapman!
It's funny that the majority of people on this site see Duane as a hero. How can somebody be a hero catching the same bad guys that he just bonded out?
all for money and entertainment!
Why are we the tax payers paying judges to go on vacation through october is that like ten weeks...
'Dog' is no angel, regardless of all his Bible quoting. He also broke The law in Mexico when he went down to capture Luster. There is no way in hell that we would accept someone from a foreign country come into the US, 'capture' one of our citizens (even if he was a criminal) and whisk him off to some other land.
All you folks that are outraged at how 'the Dog' is being treated need to wake up and smell the coffee if you think the goverment of the United States gives a damn about any of you ..How about the thens of thousands of Katrina victims still without a home, as but one example. Our goverment is fast becoming nothing more then a corporate state where the only thing that matters is the stock holder's bottom line. And we, ladies and gents, as citizens are not the stock holders they mean. This is no accident, this is exactly what the Bu family planned.
I'm not afraid to politicize issue in this current state of affairs; If President Ron Paul was in office NOW this sort of thing would be over with the stroke of a pen!
It is appaling how the current adminstration treats good, honet, patriotic, lawabiding citizens - consieder our two Border Patrol agents sitting if Federal Prison now - as the current administration ignores them!
It is time for US to get control of our nation, our Republic and our Constitutional protections. It is time for a rEVOLution! ... these kinds of thing just indicate how badly.
God Bless Duane Chapman!

I think it is deplorable that our own country will not back Duane Chapman after all he has done for us as a nation. Him and his family have put their lives on the line to capture crimanals that have put our families at risk. The Chapmans are exemplory people who deserve our thanks, and love for the brave acts they have done, and how are they being thanked? By our own country turning their backs on them. I for one, am ashamed of our govenment for allowing this to go on for so long.
