I respect your opinion but disagree. The anger has to do with Quid Pro Quo... actually lack thereof. Your right in that it is the law in Mexico. But Mexico doesn't bother following their own laws - or ours - yet expect us to do so.
You know what's funny? If Dog has greased the right palm, this wouldn't be happening. I believe the issue is being pushed because someone in Mexico has been watching Dog's program and knows a cash cow when he sees one. This'll be a great episode down the road.
Also, Dog's son and brother are involved. Maybe he didn't want to drag them back to face "Mexican justice".
That this is coming from Mr. Enforce the Law ... oh, the irony.
I found no evidence that he was 'hiding in plain site' -- Dog tracked him down to get a reward on the million-dollar bail. When Dog tried to take him, Dog was arrested in Mexico.
The Mexican authorities, upon finding out who Luster was, had him expelled back to the U.S., where he was imprisoned.
There is no evidence the Mexican authorities were helping Luster, or would refuse to send him back to the U.S.
LOL, so very true.
At least somebody sees the obvious.
I'm sorry , would you post a link to the article about a cop killer who is being held in Mexico that the are refusing to turn over to us?
Apparently there are many.
It's illegal to preach the gospel in Saudia Arabia. Would you extradite a preist in the US if he was arrested in Saudi Arabia for that illegality. No I thought not. Now go back to DU, you mental midget.
That would be a damning indictment, were it true.
Unfortunately for you, far from "letting him slip through the noose," Mexico extradited Mr. Luster, who now resides in a California prison.
News reports suggest he didn't have to "stay", his bail allowed him to return home, but then he didn't go BACK for his trial. At the time he came home, his attorney said the charges against him and the others were misdemeanors and not a real problem.
Exactly!
He broke a law of a foreign country in the pursuit of justice. He didn't do anything to a Mexican citizen. This administration's apologists are no better than Clinton's.
What do you care about issues? You're supporting a candidate for Texas Governor who is pro-abortion, for the legalization of marijuana, and wants to abolish the death penalty.
Issues mean nothing to you. You're attracted to the biggest flake.
Dog, his buddies, and his film crew went down to mexico, and attempted to take Luster into custody. The fracas led to his arrest in mexico. Luster was released from Dog's custody, and then the Mexican authorities expelled him back to the U.S..
Dog was released on bail for a misdemeanor that his lawyer said was no big deal.
But later I guess he didn't go back for his trial, making him a bail jumper.
BTW, the act of bail jumping by Dog could make it just a little harder for the NEXT arrested american to get out on bail -- and that would be worse if we didn't help Mexico get him back.
If Mexico knew that anybody they let out on bail could come to the United States and would be protected by the government, they wouldn't let ANYBODY out on bail from our country anymore.
And if paying off the Mexicans was all it took, why didn't Dog just pay them off for the misdemeanor?
Sure. Here is one:
Foreign Aid to Stop If Mexico Refuses Extradition of Cop-Killers November 30, 2005 06:22 AM EST by Jim Kouri - The US House of Representees passed a $21 billion foreign-aid bill that includes a provision to cut off aid to any nation that harbors a cop-killer and denies requests for extradition of suspects involved in the of killing a US law enforcement officer. Many observers recognize this as a warning to the Mexican government. The legislation, which allocates almost $3 billion for medical assistance for AIDS victims in Africa and $61 million for economic and security programs, is expected to gain passage in the Senate. The extradition section is a last ditch effort to resolve a unilateral treaty dispute with Mexico, which now refuses to extradite any suspect who would face the death penalty or life in prison without possibility of parole. Originally only suspects facing capital punishment were not extradited, but last year the Mexican supreme court unilaterally extended the prohibition to suspects facing life sentences. Mexico receives enormous foreign-aid packages from the United States and stands to lose a lot if they continue to thumb their noses at American police chiefs and officers. Up to 4,000 fugitives have escaped back into Mexico after killing Americans. An estimated 1,000 of the homicide arrest warrants for Mexicans were from California, including 400 from Los Angeles County, which also has three outstanding warrants for people suspected of killing a police officers. "The US should not be forced to plea bargain with other countries, nor should full justice be denied family members of assassinated cops," said Rep. Bob Beauprez, the Colorado Republican who sponsored the legislation. "This appropriations bill will help us put an end to rewarding foreign-aid nations that provide safe haven to cop killers," he said. The Senate will most likely pass the bill, which passed the House 358-39, and the President is expected to sign it into law. Police organizations, including the Fraternal Order of Police, the National Association of Chiefs of Police, and American Federation of Police as well as the families of slain officers applauded the passage of the House bill. However, so far the Mexican government has made no statements regarding their foreign aid being placed in jeopardy. Other than criticism by liberal groups and advocates of open borders, the only criticism being leveled at this legislation comes from Americans who believe the bill doesn't go far enough and should include any murderer who has escaped US justice by returning to Mexico. Statistics show that as a group illegal aliens from Mexico perpetrate a disproportionate amount of crime when compared to other groups. Criminal aliens are responsible for hundreds of thousands of crime including murders, rapes, robberies and assaults. According to Heather McDonald of the Manhattan Institute in New York City, in California alone, 95% of outstanding homicide arrest warrants are for illegal aliens and 65% of all felony arrest warrants are for illegal immigrants.
good thing Dog didn't nab a drug dealer. Then he'd be up for 20 to life.
What would be your opinion for Bush wanting Hillary to follow him into office?
He seems to be a Christian person and based on that alone I think having a Clinton back in office would be repugnant to him.
