.....what's the problem? He broke the law, is he any better than anyone else or is his middle name "KENNEDY" or something????

He is better than a Kennedy. He got a RAPIST put behind bars at considerable risk to himself and he's man enough to take the consequences. Kennedys do the actual raping.

If you and I did something like this, wouldn't they come after us?????

No. We are not Bounty Hunters and it would simply be kidnapping, which is a job description in the corrupt country known as Mehico.

Tommy should have shut up since the next day the payoff was revealed in the extradition of one of Mexico's biggest drug lords to the US. I wondered what the other shoe on this would be.

[justshutupandtakeit]

You must be easily surprised. Tancredo won't get squat he is strictly fringeville.

[subterfuge]

I'll save my sympathy for someone who deserves it.

Did you even see this or are you going by the "report?" The guy doing the suing was the provoker of the incident and there is absolutely no denying that. I saw it with my own eyes. The motel guy was an animal.

Bounty-hunting is illegal in Mexico.

That doesn't mean we need to extradite him. What's the compelling reason why we should do so?

[subterfuge]

You saw only what they edited and broadcast. The cutting room floor may prove you right or it may prove you wrong

Yet, you seem to act as if you were one of the actual editors and know the "whole story."

[r9etb]

What's the compelling reason why we should do so?

You mean, aside from the US-Mexico Extradition Treaty of 1980?

[Oberon]

You mean, aside from the US-Mexico Extradition Treaty of 1980?

Yeah. =] Aside from that. [LOL]

[Oberon]

If that treaty were being respected by the Mexicans, the bounty hunter in question wouldn't have been necessary, and the rapist would have been returned to us by the Mexican authorities.

[hgro]

Lets cowtow even more to those crooked pols and drug dealers south of the border. What a crock.

[subterfuge]

On Thursday, authorities expelled Luster to the United States, where he is appealing a 124-year prison sentence for the drugging and rape of three women.

You seem to really like this guy, who, in my opinion, should be killed. Why do you like the rapist so much?

[Racehorse]

Yet, you seem to act as if you were one of the actual editors and know the "whole story."

No.

I'm acting as one who has been present at "news" events which were later televised on the evening news. Nothing was untrue about the broadcasts. They just did not include the whole truth. Some were more accurate than others. What you and others watched was a commercial product packaged for your entertainment and their profit.

Three others have said the same thing as you. For all I know, all four of you could be right. Or, not.

It is just as simple as that.

[subterfuge]

There is no evidence the Mexican authorities were helping Luster, or would refuse to send him back to the U.S.

Did you ever buy the Brooklyn Bridge? Swampland in Florida? Wake up Charlie.

[subterfuge]

Dog might be the single sleaziest person on TV.

You don't watch much TV do you? All that praying and bringing people to justice sure is sleazy. /sarc

[subterfuge]

Chapman if convicted in Mexico for help in capturing scumbag Luster could have used the publicity to free himself, but he didn't, he was a coward and decided to skip bail.

Of all your stupid replies, this is the worst. Think of the words you wrote here: "Chapman could have used...publicity to free himself, but...he was a coward and decided to skip bail."

Using ones notarity to get off would be courageous and skipping out only to be taken into custody by U.S. officials is cowardly? As usual, you have things ass-backwards.

[subterfuge]

Nothing was untrue about the broadcasts. They just did not include the whole truth.

How do you know that? Fact is, you don't--it's as simple as that.

[CharlesWayneCT]

That's a remarkably unfounded statement to make.

I'm arguing that you shouldn't blame Bush for Chapman being arrested for bail-jumping. I'm certainly happy Luster was captured, and would fight for an aquittal for Chapman on the "bounty hunter" charges for that reason.

But how I want the case to turn out is a different question than whether the United States is WRONG to honor a legal and valid request for extradition hearings from a foreign government we have a treaty with. And whether it makes sense to suggest that the President of the United States is personally involved in picking up a 2-bit bounty jumper for the Mexican government because Fox has "something" on him, to name one bizarre conspiracy theory.

[Racehorse]

How do you know that? Fact is, you don't--it's as simple as that.

You are illiterate as well as dense.

Look at his posts this morning. He's on a strafing run. Good only for a chuckle or two.
