Un-motherfracking-believable - Duane Chapman (Dog the Bounty Hunter) can be extradited to Mexico
A federal court has cleared the way for TV bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman to be extradited to face charges in Mexico, but the decision can still be appealed.
Norma Jara, a spokeswoman for the second district court in Guadalajara, said Thursday the court rejected Chapman’s injunction request, ruling there was no reason not to try him on charges he illegally arrested Max Factor makeup heir and convicted rapist Andrew Luster in 2003.
“We only just heard about the Mexican court’s decision to continue with the extradition proceedings, and are still in shock,” Chapman and his wife, Beth, said in a statement issued Thursday night in Honolulu.
“Our attorneys have not even been formally informed of the court’s decision, as of yet. We are obviously deeply disappointed and fearful of what will happen, and are currently absorbing the news and discussing our options at this time.”
Once Chapman has been formally notified of the decision, he has five days to file an appeal that could block his extradition.
Mexican authorities have already asked for Chapman’s extradition from Hawaii.
Chapman’s lawyers argue he would not be guaranteed a fair trial in Mexico.
When are we going to get tired of being treated like this? Why the hell are we sending this guy back to Mexico when the Mexican government doesn’t give a shit about the millions of illegals that come over here and commit REAL crimes every day? Dog took a rapist off the street. Where is the State Department trying to protect an American citizen from an overzealous asshole Mexican prosecutor and a police force that is just pissed that Dog outsmarted them and probably cut off the bribes Luster was paying?
I swear to God we need an armed revolution in this pitiful fucking country.
You know the drill. Find your Congressjerk and email and fax them. Call the local and Washington office. It won’t take but a minute of your time and could make a big difference.

Duane gets sent back to a Mexican jail for having the temerity to snatch a convicted repeat rapist (and an American citizen who had jumped bail for the sole purpose of avoiding jail for his crimes, by the way) off the streets and put his ass back in jail. Meanwhile, illegals (those Mexicans who are violating the law here by merely breathing) who have killed American police get off scot-free because Mexico refuses to extradite any Mexican citizen who might have to face the threat of a death penalty or life without parole here in American prisons.
And the government of Mexico publishes comic books making it easier for its citizens to violate our sovereignty.
Can’t we just invade Mexico while we’re at it?

The problem with invading Mexico, Drum… is that then we’d be stuck with Mexico.

Um, no. If our government sucked, it’d be good for something.
