Dog the Bounty Hunter Special appeared on A&E last night. Critics may dismiss his plight because they see his show as a novelty. But I say to you this is of great import because there are three men’s lives at stake. This certainly deserves the attention of the public and the US government.
I am so incensed at his arrest and possible extradition back to Mexico. The whole thing is disgusting.
Duane “Dog” Chapman’s life and the life of son Leland & brother Tim hang in the balance over a minor misdemeanor – the capture of Andrew Luster – notorious rapist now serving 124 year sentence in prison.
While in custody in a US federal detention facility, their lives were threatened by familiar faces and other inmates seeking revenge for his bounty hunting profession. The Mexican prison’s conditions would be worse and they would most likely not live to serve the 4 month to 4 year sentence that misdemeanor carries.
“…. Mexico routinely declines to extradite suspects facing life in prison or the death penalty. Mexico's Supreme Court, which favors rehabilitation and views capital punishment and no-parole sentences as cruel, has blocked numerous extraditions until U.S. authorities agreed to lower the potential punishment a suspect faced in an American court.”
“Mexico itself has a mixed track record for returning fugitives. In the case of American citizens who flee to Mexico, it can take U.S. officials months or even years to get a fugitive returned if they have a good lawyer.”

I hope the Department of Justice does not let the American people down and three of its very fine citizens that need its help. Keep the Dog Free!!!!

It's sad and pathetic at the same time. Here he is a globe trotting bounty hunter and he gets nailed at his house by federal marshals on a outstanding warrant from Mexico. I thought he was smarter than that. I do give him credit for going to Mexico and bringing back Andrew Luster when no one else could.

I don't think it was right to bust into his house at six in the morning to arrest him for doing his job. He had a warrant because he caught a fugitive from Mexico and was supposedly not allowed to because of some law he probably didn't now about. I think it's not fair to just suddenly bring this down on him after more than 2 years after he had captured the fugitive. I think Dog is awesome and his show is awesome.

It's all a misunderstanding from what I heard. Apparently, when he went to Mexico to find the Max Factor heir who had raped multiple girls he was arrested in Mexico for bounty hunting...apparently it's illegal... anyway, he never went back for his court and now he was arrested.
Ironic for sure...but seriously who cares? If that is the truth, he should not have been arrested for bringing some rich yuppie racist to justice.

I didn't know. I'll be watching this tomorrow night.
Hear Dog and Beth tell the full story in their own words on Tuesday at 10PM/ET exclusively on A&E's original presentation - DOG: THE FAMILY SPEAKS. The special features post-release interviews and behind-the-scenes footage from the trying ordeal.

I thought that it was stupid. The whole incident happend 2 years ago. It's not like no one knew where Dog lived. HELLO!!! He's been in the public view for how long now!??? Mexico should just not worry about it at this late date.

He didn't do anything wrong .. The first guy that posted needs to know what he's talking about before he speaks ... He goes after the bad guys ... But he isn't one of them ... They're just jealous because he does such a good job is what I read on one of the sites.

If this is a lie I will shun you. I hate that show so much...... I hope he goes to prison and a gang of 45 people that he captured sees him.
