"Dog" Chapman arrested
Huh...I searched but did not find a thread on this. I thought it was quite shocking to see "Dog" and the crew getting arrested. I hope he is cleared of the charges. I mean, he is not above the law, but I know that bounty hunting is one of those professions that is really tough to navigate the law.

Re: "Dog" Chapman arrested
I know we aren't supposed to talk politics, but here goes.
He is being tried for "Illegally" capturing a rapist, who was by the way wanted. Now the only reason to consider trying him would to appease the Mexican government, but why do we need to appease them, they owe America money, lots of money, billions more than likely. So again why is this even called into question, no rapist deserves to go free, no matter where they are.
Politics and money make a mad world.

Re: "Dog" Chapman arrested
Seth, you ignored the fact that what he did is illegal in the country where he did it.
Where I live, an American citizen was sent packing by the Mexican government to the US, at the request of the US to stand trial in Tennessee for his wife’s murder. His father was also sent back to the US on related charges.
If the US wants criminals who broke the law in the US returned, why would not the Mexican government expect the same thing?

No, the "end always justifies the means" crowd does. Bounty Hunting is illegal in Mexico. The opinion that local authorities should look the other way in part because Mexico owes American money (a completely unrelated matter) is quite arrogant, really.
This a clearly a message by the Mexican gvt intended to discourage the practice of "armed civilians" (if BH is illegal, then this is all they are down there) pursuing criminals south of the border.

Re: "Dog" Chapman arrested
It's a tough call, but obviously the Mexican goverment wasn't doing anything to help catch the rapist/murderer that was openly partying in their country, so yes, what he did was illegal, and he will pay the penalty I guess, but what he did is a misdimeanor in Mexico. I really am surprised that they are going this far for a misdimeanor. I'm sure the Max Factor victims are thanking or would be thanking Dog for getting this guy behind bars, who by the way was sentanced to over 120 years in prison.

Re: "Dog" Chapman arrested
This isn't a tough call at all. The Max Factor case has NOTHING to do with this one.
If the US has any honor he will be extradited to Mexico so their legal system can deal with it.

Re: "Dog" Chapman arrested
Sure it does, the ONLY reason he was in Mexico was for the Max Factor guy that nobody else had the balls to do anything about. I don't have a problem with him being extradited. Yes he broke the law and will have to pay the penalty, but they sure are making a big deal out of this. Its a good thing that they don't have any real issues to deal with such as drug trafficing and everyone and there brother leaving the country to go to another country illegally.

Re: "Dog" Chapman arrested
I guess what you call “balls” I’ll call stupidity and arrogance.
By the way does anyone else find it amusing that according to the article Dog skipped out on his own bail in Mexico? What the rules don’t apply to him?
