All I gotta say is:

Ha-ha!

"Dog Chapman should not have a show. That show should be taken off the air!"

People can be so self-righteous.

[PhoenixOrion]

Did anyone actually listen to it? The article (expectedly) took his comments way out of context. He did say they all use that word for other reasons, not because someone's black (but that's the way America would take it-as he also said). There is obviously 'bad blood' there for reasons not mentioned in the article (again, expected).

Come on already. Consider the source. lol :rolleyes:

[Starbuck]

Exactly, Phoenix. Since when is the National Enquirer considered a valid news source? Or did I just suddenly enter the world of Men in Black?

Ok- First, Who cares. I rank this guy right up there with Paris, Nicole and the rest of the do nothing celebutants.

Second- He's not a role model in any way. If he was then he wouldn't have been in so much trouble a few months back.

Third- WTF are you doing reading the National Enquirer and worse yet using it as a viable news story? You're slowly losing all your cred....

Fourth, Who the hell is this guy from CORE that I've never heard of? Another Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton wannabe? Must be an election year....

1. I agree. I've always despised that convicted felon, his thug family, and the losers who idolize him. I still think that he should be doing time--either here or in Mexico.

2. Agree again. "nuff said.

3. The story itself is in many media outlets. The Enquirer just has the transcripts. But I'd never buy an Enquirer...I'll leave it to the sad, pathetic types.

4. Roy Innis is exactly one of those wanna-be's. He's been around for a while and pops up from time to time.

[Chutney Daftcraft]

Why you gotsta be hatin' on Career Victims? Seriously.

So, when a person that claims to represent a group of people uses that representation, and that group, to further their agenda by claiming "oppression" - they're despicable? Really?

He screwed up and his son screwed him over. Hopefully they put some money in the bank.

WARNING!!! WARNING!!! LOADED QUESTION!!!!


I've been married long enough to recognize a loaded question with no right answer.....

[lar]

We are what we are but we are transplants from Loudoun!!!!

[derricksonb]

We are what we are but we are transplants from Loudoun!!!!

Don't get me wrong you guys are the best but I guess after 8 years I'm programmed to recognize that type of question. Kind of like, "Does this dress make me look fat," or "Does my hair make my cheeks look pudgy?" Both of which I'm horrible at answering and usually blurt out something along the lines of "No honey, that dress doesn't make you look fat, but your ass, thighs and cankles aren't helping," or "No your hair is fine but those six Double Stuff Oreos you're smuggling in your cheeks aren't exactly slimming."

[lar]

I know what you mean. Dog is a total redneck of sorts, but we still love him. Not so much now though. He and his problems are getting a bit much. This last thing really showed his true colors. If he thought far enough ahead to know the public would not like his use of the N word, he should have cared enough to stop using it, but he chose to continue to use it and fire his own son so as not to offend his girlfriend who I totally believe he does not approve of because she is . . . .

[Nanuk]

what I found interesting was that Duane Chapman defended using the N word by saying that at times, he and his white-trash kin "had" to use that label when addressing people.

Now I've been dealing with people in adversarial settings for over two decades--mostly black people--and I've never, ever felt a "need" to demean someone or insult them like that. Why does he feel that he needs to talk like that? Aside from the fact that he's a bully with nothing behind him other than his crew of fellow oxygen-wasters, that is.

[Chutney Daftcraft]

I cannot believe that you're so against someone who is willing to break "technicality" laws to capture criminals and get them off our streets.

[Starbuck]

You've never felt the need to demean someone? :rotfl:

Why, some people may say that your stereotyping of drug addicts and welfare recipients are way more insulting than the use of a word. I guess you just forgot to tell those fat, lazy, cheeto-eating, non-job having inner-city types that you don't mean them any insult by refusing them help. :rolleyes:

[derricksonb]

Why not???? Afterall "DOG" is only a clearance and contract number away from being an employee of Blackwater.

[Chutney Daftcraft]

So when someone goes around an incovenient law to capture fugitives - it's a bad thing?

[Nanuk]

"Dog" and his inbred crew wouldn't have to try to round up the fugitives if his loudmouthed, fat wife wasn't posting their bonds in the first place.
he's not trying to catch crooks--he's trying to keep from losing his house if/when the judge orders the bonds his wife posted forfieted.



I guess you just forgot to tell those fat, lazy, cheeto-eating, non-job having inner-city types that you don't mean them any insult by refusing them help. :rolleyes:


Not sure what you're referring to there. I have helped thousands of inner-city residents over the past couple of decades. I have treated their wounds, delivered their kids, rescued them from burning buildings, locked up their babies' daddies(thus ending their baby's mama drama), and put them in contact with countless medical care and social service providers.

I just draw the line at permanently subsidiziding their chosen lifestyles out of my earnings and those of other people who deserve to keep what they legitimately earn.

If that makes me a bad guy... Oh well.

Dog was interviewed on Hanity and Colmes last night. EITM played clips this morning. It was pretty amusing. He will be on Larry King tonight.

I am sure someone will YouTube it.

[Chutney Daftcraft]

I'm curious, why is the "convicted felon" designation in his title in the subject title?

[Wormdoc]

Speaking in generalities here and refering to 'people' as the general populace, what puzzles me, I guess, is why anyone even cares about this guy? Why are people so avidly intrigued with people like Dog, Paris, and Spears and folks like that? Frankly, it seems that if these folks didn't generate all the publicity and people weren't so hungry to lap it up, they'd all be pretty much non-entities.....

Is it just because they're sordid and cheap and talentless so make the regular folks feel better about their own selves? It's a sad yardstick to judge one's life by.

I heard the clips this morning.... HI-Larious.

"Brother from another mother"

[Chutney Daftcraft]

I've never understood the whole celebrity worshipping thing myself.

I mean, it is ridiculous. Some people, for some reason, totally get off on the activities of their lives. It makes no real sense to me. Futher, when I hear other women cheering on the forced removal of another woman's children, that makes me really question how unified women are in this country.

[Kensey]

I'm curious, why is the "convicted felon" designation in his title in the subject title?

Because he has a rap sheet as long as your arm for armed robbery, plus as a special bonus he was convicted and served time in Texas for first-degree murder.

[JiveTurkey]

I always thought the roach clips in the mullet were a touch of class. But then again, so does he.

[Starbuck]

Women aren't unified. Please.

And it's "Brother from a Different Mother."

Wormie, celebrity worship is a vast gubmint/media conspiracy created to deflect attention from our quest for world domination. While we are so worried about the goings on of Paris/Nicole/Brit/Linds/Dog, we have no time to complain about the gutting of the Constitution, the subcontracting of our military, and our occupation of foreign lands.

I'm now going to put my tinfoil hat back on.

[Chutney Daftcraft]

Yeah, but when your sentance is up, it's over. He isn't out on parole, he's done. Sex offenders are the only people who pay for their crimes after they do their time, so I was wondering what the motivation was to put "Convicted Felon" into his name was.

I'm guessing it's just an impotent "jab" at the guy.

He committed murder in TEXAS, and is still alive? THAT is a miracle from the heavens, literally.

On a semi-related note, how does such blatant white trash afford to live in Hawaii?

[Kensey]

Sex offenders are the only people who pay for their crimes after they do their time, so I was wondering what the motivation was to put "Convicted Felon" into his name was.

Probably pointing out the irony of his current occupation given his past.


He committed murder in TEXAS, and is still alive? THAT is a miracle from the heavens, literally.His story is he was only an accessory (for not reporting the killing). Either that's true, or there was enough doubt that the jury opted for a simple jail sentence. He got out after 18 months and started his current career when a judge offered him a deal because he was unable to pay child support on one of his kids from his string of previous marriages.


On a semi-related note, how does such blatant white trash afford to live in Hawaii?Successful bounty hunters make a lot of money. A lot. Most of the work of bounty-hunting is finding the guy you're trying to bring in. That involves mostly phone and computer time, just like any other skip-tracer or garden-variety PI. Imagine a job where you work your own hours, spend most of your time in a chair on the phone and computer, and get checks for thousands of dollars at semi-regular intervals. That's a successful bounty hunter. A lot of the time they don't even make the arrest -- they call the cops for that part. They still get paid for telling the police where to find their man, because the bondsman still gets his money back no matter who brings the accused to court.

Chapman, besides being a bounty hunter, is a bail bondsman as well, which is even more lucrative since you get paid (typically) 10% of the bail for guaranteeing the rest in the unlikely event the accused fails to appear. If somebody has $50,000 bail set, they'll typically pay a bail bondsman $5,000 to get out of jail before trial. He puts up a bond with the court for the full amount, and if the suspect doesn't flee prosecution, the bondsman gets his bond back, keeps the $5,000 and that's the end of it. Of course if he does flee, the bondsman loses his 50 grand, at least until he brings him in, which is where the bounty hunter comes in.

What you see on TV is the dramatic collars, not the everyday incidents where the perp comes quietly because he knows he's caught anyway. Skipping bail is a losing game to begin with -- the vast majority of bail-jumpers are caught sooner or later. You have better odds going to court and trying for an acquittal or a lighter sentence.

[Chutney Daftcraft]

My ex skipped bail in 1986. He remained free until he died in 2003.

They never did catch up with him, so the odds aren't always stacked in their favor. They did come close on a few occasions...
