There is nothing necessarily snobby about calling Dog Chapman trashy. He runs around dressed like a WWF figure ... he curses like most can't ... he fathers children he never knew he had until they show up one day ... need I go on? He fits the term trashy like a glove.
And exactly what good has he done with all of the talking he does to criminals? What percentage of his bail jumpers turn their lives around after he had caught them and turned them back in to the police for their court date? How many start a new life?
Yes, he tracked down Andrew Luster and he deserved and got great recognition for that. That ultimately led to him getting the A&E show to begin with. That doesn't give him a pass for the remainder of his life.
The FBI was ready to arrest Luster in a lawful manner with the help of the Federales. Dog vilated Mexican law, nearly drove Luster further into hidong, and then himself absconded after being released on bail by a Mexican judge...
