Congressmen Rally Behind 'Dog'

Bounty hunter Duane 'Dog' Chapman says he's a dead man if he's sent back to Mexico to face charges. Now his fight has rallied dozens of lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

Twenty-nine Republican members of Congress sent a letter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice asking her to deny the bounty hunter's extradition to Mexico.

Chapman was arrested last month on charges stemming from his capture of a convicted rapist three years ago.

The letter suggests Mexican authorities are embarrassed they didn't catch Andrew Luster themselves.

29 Members of Congress Call on Condoleezza Rice to Deny Extradition of “Dog” – The Bounty Hunter
By U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-CO), 10/10/2006 6:56:06 PM

(Washington, D.C.) – Twenty-nine of us in Congress recently sent a letter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice asking her to deny the extraction of Duane “Dog” Chapman to Mexico for bringing Max Factor heir/convicted serial rapist Andrew Luster to justice.

Thanks to Mr. Chapman, Luster is now serving a 124-year sentence. It seems that Mexican authorities are pressing this case only because they are so stung by the embarrassment of failing where Mr. Chapman succeeded.

In 2003, bounty hunter Chapman received a tip regarding the whereabouts of Andrew Luster, the Max Factor heir who disappeared during his trial for rape. Chapman went to Mexico to act on this tip, and was accompanied by a local Mexican police officer – who he agreed to pay. He was also in communication with U.S. officials, who were aware of his activities.

Chapman successfully located Luster and apprehended him. When he arrived at the jail to book Luster, however, Chapman’s police escort was nowhere to be found.

1. Nothing

but white trash with a TV show. If he broke laws in Mexico send his nappy ass back. If we don't we face Mexico not working with us in matters such as these. Right now where I live there is a extradition going on for a drunk-ass rick kid who killed a number of college students a few years back. He was recently found in Ireland. Law enforcement here is trying to get him back here using LEGAL means. If we don't honor other countries they'll start laughing at us when we want them to honor us. Well they already laugh at us, after all we have an idiot in the White House and this one with his own TV show.

2. I think this is friggen hilarious...

Dog the Bounty Hunter skipped bail in Mexico and he's afraid to face the music. OH the IRONY! All those Repug congresscritters have written to Condi too. . This is SO what she should be thinking about, dontcha think?

5. I had never thought of that

You are so right about the irony in this story.

As Groucho Marx said, "You know what I love about irony? It's so ironic."

7. and I'm soooo impressed that these congressional shitstains are

more worried about this POS than the failure of Dimson's policies that have led to a NUCLEAR NORTH KOREA.

3. Bounty Hunters are criminals

This guy went into a foreign, sovereign country and kidnapped someone, while violating the country's gun laws, skipped bail, then offered the defense that he thought the bail money would suffice as a bribe.

Glad he caught the guy, but the ends don't justify the means, and this may well be the key difference between a Repube and a Dem.

Repube's constant defenses of criminals is revealing.

4. Twenty-nine of us in Congress recently sent a letter

I wonder where were these "29" when Habeas Corpus was suspended? Pathetic....Disney news

6. Seeing as he's a bible-beater with a dubya pic on his wall...

It somehow doesn't surprise me he fails to see the hypocrisy.

I don't necessarily think what amounts to a death sentence is justified either, but seeing as he's such a self-righteous whore for the criminal justice system(which wrongly convicted him of killing someone already, according to dog himself) then I have a hard time pitying him.

Like an abused mutt that keeps limping back to the person that beat it, "dog" indeed.

Edit: What am I even doing in this thread, it's not like we don't have a couple wars going on. :P
