Bounty-hunting is illegal in Mexico. He is a criminal and Tancredo is a hypocrite.

Yep.

Wonder whether this guy is one of Tancredo's constituents?

Motel owner sues TV bounty hunters

A Colorado Springs motel owner is suing the stars of the television show "Dog the Bounty Hunter," claiming they assaulted him during filming here, and that the episode has hurt his reputation and business.

[. . .]

They were in Colorado Springs in June 2005, looking for a bail jumper wanted on traffic and other warrants. After being told by an acquaintance he was at the Aztec, they went there, could not find him and got in a confrontation with Barnes, who ordered them to leave the property.

A fight broke out, police were called and Barnes, who had several cuts on his face and head, swelling under his right eye and fractured ribs, twice changed his mind about filing charges, according to police reports.

[. . .]

Barnes' lawsuit claims the bounty hunters intentionally caused a confrontation, and that it is a regular procedure on the show for Duane Chapman's wife, Beth, to provoke people to violence.

"They came out here to make a TV show and if they could get some innocent person to beat up for national TV, that was just frosting on the cake," his attorney, Lloyd Kordick, said Thursday. "The guy wasn't there. They should have left when they were directed to by the owner of the property."

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

Hmm I wonder if that is in or close to tom tancredo's congressional district.

Seems that tommy tancredo sticks up for publicity hounding reality tv show stars and not his own constiuients.

Figures because tommy tancredo is a publicity hound himself.

So anybody who brings forth a lawsuit is automatically right?

I saw that episode. That scumbag hotel owner attacked Leland and deserved every bit of the ass-kicking that he got. If the hotel owner was so terribly wronged and was that beat up, why didn't he tell the responding cops that he wanted to press charges? He and the Chapmans exchanged apologies, parted ways, and that was it. When Barnes did that, he waived his legal rights in the matter.

LOL! I saw that episode. The film they took will exonerate Dog.

Oops! You accidentally forgot to post this part -

"He noted that Barnes shook hands with the bounty hunters after the scuffle, and that he only changed his mind when someone told him he had to file charges in order to later pursue a civil suit, an account confirmed by police reports.

"It's obvious the only reason there is a lawsuit is there is money there," Brown said."

Italy has warrants out for American agents that took some of the terrorists in raids in Italy. You are apparently in favor of sending them back to stand trial, aren't you?

I saw that episode, and the hotel owner was the one that provoked the confrontation. He was a total sleeze IMHO.

I saw that episode. The motel guy clearly started that fight - he attacked Leland and Leland counter attacked.

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.
