The Big Bad Dog - The Bounty Hunter - What's a Freeper to think?

Dog's official site ^

[Scythian]

I'm curious to know what other Freepers think of this show. He's a Christian yet curses like a sailor, still on the other hands shows kindness to folks who do not deserve it and talks to them about Christ. I'm sure he's probably helped some straighten out.

Well, what are your thoughts?

[highball]

So, your only objection to him is his language?

[MNlurker]

He has a signed picture from W behind his desk. Enough said.

[DuckFan4ever]

Is there a story here?

[Scythian]

Well, no I really don't know if I have an object, my wife and I were talking about it there other night after the dog-o-than. He comes from that kind of background and it's hard to change after so long, he's just a curious creature. Sometimes I recoil at what he says yes, but then am thrilled when I see him witness and tell guys that thier Dads, and they need to act like Dads and be there for thier kids ...

[cyborg]

He seems like a roughneck to me. His wife too. I love his wife *lol* I have a feeling he's the type that has never cheated on her and will walk through fire for his family though.

[cripplecreek]

I'm thinking we need about 10,000 more of him looking for illegal aliens.

Is there a story here?

Look, the only topic I posted under was vanity, you can turn them off you know ...

[highball]

Sorry, you deserve a more complete response than my initial question.

If the only problem you have is his cursing, then I'm not sure what there is for "a Freeper to think."

I'm not a huge fan of the show. This reality programming is not really my cup of tea. But I don't think he's any less a good man just because his language is blue, particularly if as you say he helps people in need.

I guess I'm wondering what your hangup is. Why did you feel the need to seek out opinions on him? Your post suggests that you like him or the show but are uncomfortable with his language. Which, by the way, I suspect he might "amp up" for television.

So, is this Diamond Dallas Page's new gig? What happened to his babydoll, Kimberly?

[trubluolyguy]

He and his family are what people refer to as "real" people. I think the show is kinda stupid, but from what I have seen, they seem like good peole.

Considered the greatest bounty hunter in the world, Duane "Dog" Chapman has made over 6,000 captures in his 27-year career. This highly intense, charismatic ex-con and born-again Christian is a real-life Billy the Kid, minus the guns. "Regulators," he'll often bellow to his supporting cast of bounty hunters, which often includes family members and friends, "Mount up!"

Dog is also the king of the comebacks. This modern-day hero was once a zero after serving time in a Texas prison for first-degree murder. "I am what rehabilitation stands for," claims, Hollywoods favorite bounty hunter.

Over the years, the list of fugitives Dog claims to have either helped catch or single-handedly brought to justice reads like a who's who of America's Most Wanted, including high-profile rapist and Max Factor heir, Andrew Luster.

According to Dog, much of his success is due to his knack for getting the most out of his informants. "Seventy percent of all my captures happen because some good ol' American has turned them in by giving me information," he says.

The spitting image of a maverick bounty hunter (stone-cold blue eyes, long unruly blond hair, and weathered skin wrapped in a skin-tight, sleeveless T-shirt, silver-capped boots, fight gloves and arm bands), Dog is one of only a handful of men across the country that makes a living as a professional bounty hunter.

Along with an estimated 8,000 bail enforcement agents, bounty hunters account for 30,000 to 40,000 arrests each year – all at no cost to taxpayers. Bounty hunters generally make between 10 and 15 percent of the posted bail. For Dog, however, the return isn't always there. By his own calculations, he’s been paid for less than half of the 6,000 fugitives he’s brought in. People have offered him wristwatches, old pickup trucks, and even a puppy as payment.

Raised in Denver, Dog is the oldest of four children born to Wesley and Barbara Chapman. His dad was a welder in the Navy, while his mother was a minister with the First Assembly of God who often traveled to Native American reservations to teach the gospel. Dog currently resides in Hawaii with his wife and business partner, Beth Smith, and three of his 12 children.

If you can bear to watch more than one minute of this show ... you need psychological help.

You asked.

"He's a Christian yet curses like a sailor...."

When I was young, I used to hunt golf balls and sell them to golfers to make extra money. Many times I'd quietly be hiding in the rough while golfers would be no more than ten yards from me - never knowing I was there. I've heard priests, preachers, and deacons curse a golf ball so severely a sailor would blush when they flub a shot then beg the "baby" or "sweetheart" to get up, go, or roll.

I defer judgement upon either as I too have frequently been among those who've failed in that matter.

[Hatteras]

12 kids?!

[Scythian]

Exactly, that's how are converstion went. I told my wife, well, just because your a Christian it doesn't mean you stop sinning, you're aware of it, you may and should try, but it's war against the flesh, a hard battle. Thanx man !

Dog is P-Whipped!

I saw his 'old-lady' bitch-slap him and tell him to F-off, racing off in her SUV mad as hell because ole Dog didn't wait for her to get in on the on-camera bust of some homeless guy with warrants. Dog just whimpered off camera.

He's a Christian yet curses like a sailor?



You need to play golf with my preacher.

He'll save your soul and make ya blush, and heaven forbid he might have a beer after wards.

Don't tell his wife.
