my point is that Dog Chapman, and four others, were arrested in Mexico and charged with a crime. They were let out on bail, and then did not return for their trial. The court then issued a warrant for their return, and since Dog was known to be in the United States, the authorities generated an official government extradition request.
That request, being valid, was accepted by our government, as it should be, and Dog was arrested by U.S. marshals under the lawful order of a JUDGE who reviewed the evidence of the case.
It makes no difference WHY Dog broke the law in Mexico -- not for the extradition request. It might make a difference at his trial, which apparently will be a lot worse for him since he jumped bail.
That is my point. Well, that and that a lot of people are posting here about how Dog HAD to go get Luster because the mexican government was harboring him and being paid off (no evidence), and that Bush personally sent the marshals to arrest Dog (no evidence) and that he did this because Fox knows something bad about him and is blackmailing him (no evidence).
I don't expect people to take by blind faith what multiple contemporaneous news reports said, even though they include statements from Dog's family and attorney that largely corraberate the story.
Okay, that's a recitation of the facts. Why didn't the Mexican police arrest him? You say there is no evidence that the Mexican government was being paid off. What would you like, signed receipts? Let ME go on the record as saying that he was MOST LIKELY paying someone off. A rich American rapist, living in Mexico, they didn't know he was there, and he wasn't paying anyone off, I'm sorry but that kind of strains cedulity a bit.
As far as the FBI being only "hours away from an arrest", spare me. As far as Mexico "sending him back", that was probably just a gigantic CYOA on the part of Mexico, motivated by a gigantic CYOA on the part of the FBI. There is no doubt in my mind that if Dog had not gone down there, this rapist scum-bag would still be down there sipping Tequila and raping Mexican girls while the local cops continued to collect their bribes and look the other way.
While you gave a recitation of the facts regarding the generation and execution of the warrant, that still doesn't explain why the U.S. government jumped right on this particular extradition request instead of just back-burnering it like they should have. The answer to that question, I believe, is most likely (no evidence) that the FBI was just embarrassed that Dog got to him first while the FBI was playing silly diplomatic games or sitting on their butts.
I've heard lots of legal gobbledy-gook, speculation, and fact recitation of this thread, but no has been able to explain to me why this extradition request from Mexico was not just back-burnered into oblivion. That would be REAL quid-pro-quo with Mexico.
