welcome back

YESSSSS!!!!!!!

Oh yeah - leave it to talking about Dog to get you back out on the boards ;)

I'm coming to visit and I am SO going to get an autograph for my MIL. It would be the gift of the century for her!

...off to explain to Mr. AXO that a trip to Hawaii is in our future... :cool:

The Dog
 

I started watching Dog a few months ago. I love this show. I am so over people JUDGING others. Being married legally has nothing to do with being married in the eyes of God. Dog and Beth felt married already. Someone in here mentioned that this daughter that was killed came to HAwaii. I am thinking this was Lisa, not Barbara the one that died. Maybe it was before I started watching. God uses all kinds of people to spread the word. Who are we to question why Dog swears? He is a good family man and a good man. He needed to walk on the wrong side to see the light.

I do have a question..Justin is on the show tonight..What did he do before? Why did they have to forgive him?

You're right. I only hope that one day he quits smoking, because I think he is a good guy, and I would want him to live a long life doing good works, and not having his life cut short by cancer -- that's all.

I didn't get to see "Bustin' with Justin" last night, so I can't tell you what happened. I saw bits and pieces, but that was at the bar and the CC wasn't too good. :mad:

Baby Lyssa is Barbara and Tucker's full sister, and has a daughter, Abby. Wikipedia has her date of birth listed at 1988, so if that's the case, she must have been VERY young when she had her daughter. They call her "Baby Lyssa" because their mother shares the same name.

When the show started Justin was barely 21 and didn't know any better. My guess is that he simply wasn't ready for this kind of responsibility, his family (who, I don't think, is his blood family anyway) knew that, and A&E decided not to bring him back, and brought Duane Lee in instead.

I know that he took a stab at modeling/acting/music while splitting his time in Colorado, but that's all I know.

It's about damn time!

Dog, Leland, and Tim are arrested again. :(

Ohimygod, that's just brutal! :mad: :( :eek: I love the Dog.

The Dog rocks! I love the man!

I was watching the local news today and they said Federal marshals arrested him at 6am. Since they're in the middle of filming Season 4, the cameras filmed the arrest and followed Beth and the family to the Federal Courthouse.

What I don't get is why Mexican authorities waited all this time. They say Dog, Leland, and Tim failed to appear for their July 2003 court date. Why wouldn't they show up, though? :rolleyes:

So far the judge is considering releasing them on bail until the extradition issue is resolved. It doesn't seem likely that the Chapmans will flee, considering they are in the middle of filming for A&E. He has retained Brook Hart as his defense attorney, who I think is the best defense attorney in the state. He's a veteran of high profile cases, so I hope he'll be just as successful with this one!

You know, situations like this where Dog is now under arrest make me so angry. :mad: I'm glad that Dog and his family members used any means necessary (legal OR NOT, in Mexico) to take that dirt-bag Luster off the streets. The means justified the ends, in my opinion.

DOG released on $300,000 bail.

Leland and Tim were also released on $100,000 bail. They'll be allowed to continue their bounty hunting, but have to return home when they're not working. In addition to that, they had to surrender their passports AND wear monitoring devices. They anticipate the extradition trial to take place sometime in either November or December.

The local support has been overwhelming. The scene outside the Kuhio Building looked similar to a Native Hawaiian rally! Guilty or not, I doubt that this latest situation has done anything to hurt his popularity at all. Locals still respect him for all his work getting the bad guys off our streets.

Doesn't Mexico have bigger things to worry about? Drug cartels, human trafficking, poverty? It is unsettling that they had no problem with a convicted rapist wandering in their midst and wouldn't extradite him, but they want to extradite Dog & Co., maybe some federales wanted a free trip to Hawaii and needed justification?

OTW: I hope that the people in Hawaii make a huge stink and get your governor / senator, whatever involved to fight this & maybe get a pardon from Mexico. People have to get their priorities straight here:

Rapist off the streets of USA, Mexico and wherever else = GOOD
Dog locked up and not able to apprehend perps = BAD
