How 'bout that? Duane "Dog" Chapman, famous bounty hunter, was arrested by US Marshalls today and faces possible extradition to Mexico for his illegal-in-Mexico nabbing of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster three years ago.
Amazing, isn't it? Millions of Mexicans enter the US illegally and we're told that they aren't criminals, just want a better life for themselves, and these illegals even protest in major American cities to demand the same rights as everyone else. They rarely if ever go to jail; indeed, they're set free upon "promising" to return for a hearing at a later date (if they're caught, that is).
Chapman performed quite a public sevice by apprehending Luster. Luster is a serial rapist, after all. But he now may be extradited and see jail time. If I were Chapman, I'd utilize many of the same arguments that illegal Mexican immigrants in the US use: I benefit society, I do a job that no one else wants to do, I'm just trying to make my and everyone else's life better. Maybe Chapman can also organize protests in Mexico City, Tijuana and Monterrey to lobby Mexican lawmakers about making bounty hunting legal south of the border.
Just a thought, anyway ...
Good point.. Dog keeps us safe! :-)
