And they come up here and tell us we can't execute Mexican murderers, no matter how bad their crimes, because they don't have the death penalty.
They say this, having killed our citizens in their prisons, like the Minnesota businessman who was arrested in Juarez a dozen years ago on a currency-exchange beef. He asked for a lawyer, they took him back into the back of the jail and beat him to death.
I completely agree.
You need to step away from your television. Don't be one of the weak-minded sheeple the liberal media is aiming all those segments at.
It is in fact Bush's fault that Duane decided to become a fugitive. Get your head out of the sand. It's Bush's fault - Duane Chapman is not responsible for his own actions.
Also, a reflection on the absolutely disgusting state of mexico's legal system. "Dog" catches a serial rapist who drugged and raped women, was planning murder of witnesses in his US trial, and Mexico is upset about Dog's behaviour?
Guess he should have brought some $$ to bribe their filthy law enforcement officers.

Please qualify that statement.
If Mexico starts respecting our laws, then we might respect theirs in a few decades! Fair play.
We should not send the Dog back for something that Mexico was not willing to do for us.

With all the threats due to terrorism and high profile psychotic murderers on the DOJ most-wanted list, who goes straight to the top of the list at Mexico's request? A guy on misdemeanor charges from Mexico, a country run by drug cartels and pledged to disrespect USA law on all levels.
What's wrong with this picture?
I know, expecting Attorney General Gonzales to enforce the immigration laws of the United States instead of the corrupt whims of the Mexican government is so out-of-line and liberal. What was I thinking? Amnesty now!!
This stinks of FBI interference. The FBI was there in the same town with Luster, but they were too busy laying around the pool, drinking, to be bothered to pick up Luster. Dog was sure Luster was about to leave town - so he pounced on him.
Instead of the FBI being grateful, they have done nothing but bad mouth Dog. This is why I think this is some kind of payback from the FBI.
Remember, the "shadow party" - made up of CLINTON HOLDOVERS - doesn't take well to being shown up for the lazy critters they are. What makes me even madder is that most of the FBI people are genuine and the goal is to get the crook - not WHO GETS CREDIT!
Of course it is our Presidents job to protect Americans. However, I certainly do not expect him to be personally responsible, nor keep tabs on, every single person in this country who finds themselves in danger and/or who are being pursued unjustly.
I do not think his own daughter would suffer this injustice because he, as her father, would be aware of her situation on a daily basis because it is personal and in the family. I doubt that on President Bush's daily "things to do" list, checking up on a situation with one American, let alone one that happened three years ago, is jotted down inbetween War in Iraq, Iran, N. Korea, homeland security, the WOT, and other extremely important issues that affect us all.
That being said, I do not believe that Duane "Dog" Chapman should be handed over to Mexico. This move by Mexico to try and get Chapman extradited has happened recently. I thought, as I believe most people did, that his capture of Luster, and Mexico's rantings, was water under the bridge and over and done with years ago.
Chapman is hardly a hero. The FBI was on their way to pick up Luster, who was being watched by the Mexican police (and wasn't going anywhere) when "Dog the Bounty Hunter showed up with a TV crew, created an incident and otherwise made a mockery of both Mexican and U.S. justice -- a good reason right there that the feds aren't particularly interested in helping him.
Secondly, while people usually defend "Dog" by pointing out that Luster was brought to justice, he was on his way there before he was snatched, and Dog's stunt could very easily have lead to Luster's release in the U.S.
I think you are over-simplifying the DOJ. Gonzalez doesn't directly give each US Marshal his assignment for the day or week. It is a big bureacracy with many assistants and supervisors. However, now that the case has gotten tons of attention from the public, I'm sure Alberto will be making the ultimate decision. And if he choses to extradite Dog, I will be as mad as you. But I think your statement that he is is cohorts with the Mexican government is a gross exaggeration and pretty foolish.
While I agree with this statement this is a high profile case and it clearly demonstrates that President Bush so very often puts Mexicans and the Mexican government first and Americans second.
He has been getting pushed around by Mexico for so long and so publically he is endangering his very party as many, very many of us are sick of it.
Massive pressure from the U.S. finally got the Mexican SC to reverse its earlier decision. But for a number of years it gave the Mexican authorities all sorts of loopholes to avoid their obligations and thumb their noses at us. Screw them.
I contacted DOJ...The more people who know the better...
I've heard Tancreado is supporting Dog.
