Status: offline 		'Dog' Chapman sorry for using N-word
By JAYMES SONG, Associated Press WriterThu Nov 1, 12:21 AM ET



Television bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman apologized Wednesday for repeatedly using a racial slur in a profanity-laced tirade during a private phone conversation with his son that was recorded and posted online.

Chapman, star of A&E's hit reality series "Dog the Bounty Hunter," responded after The National Enquirer posted a clip of the conversation in which Chapman uses the N-word in reference to his son's girlfriend.

A&E officials did not immediately return phone messages seeking comment from The Associated Press. Chapman issued a statement apologizing for the comments.

Private personal conversations are just that, private!

How dare the son tape the call- which in many states is illegal.

Regulating private conversation should not be needed.    I personnaly am offended by "God Dxxx".  I ask my friends not to use that language around me.  If I dont tell them- the dont know.

High stress jobs, heck construction worker are crude. That is life.  Every thing cant be romper room barney time.

In Colorado it's legal to tape phone conversations, same with Kentucky and a most of the big cities.

He was going on about how he didn't want to lose everything if some N (in particular his sons black gf) heard him use the N word because he uses that a lot at work and didn't want it going to the Enquirer which would destroy all their careers.Apparently there were 2 phone calls but no one is saying just how the Enquirer got a hold of them.My bet is that the son was so angry at his gf being called that, that he turned it over to the paper.

Last time I checked, bounty hunters were not law enforcement officers.
They are private citizens who make a living from collecting rewards, the decision on whether the suspect is actually a criminal is not theirs - nor yours - to make. The suspect is wanted under a warrant...  not tried and convicted.
As such, detaining a foreign national in a foreign country is a criminal act by a private visitor, and that country can take any action defined by its laws. The same applies to foreign nationals in the USofA

Secondly... Nice of you to imply that foreign citizens are in the USoA exclusively to break laws.  Next time you meet a Hispanic/European/African/anywhere-else  cop, nurse, doctor, or construction worker,  try telling them that...

Status: offline 		I didn't imply that foreign citizens are in America exclusively to break laws, I said that MEXICANS come to our country primarily to break laws (And several MILLION are here in violation of our laws...Look up "illegal alien")
Secondarily, whenever Americans catch an illegal Mexican, there is a great moaning and gnashing of teeth over how they're "only here to do the 'Jobs Americans Won't Do'(TM)", and secondarily moaning about their families that they breed here.
If you come to America illegally and know that you can be caught anytime and sent back--repeatedly (They don't learn after the first few deportations)--it's irresponsible to have children here, and just absurd then to protest about their well-being AFTER the fact!
And you're right, a surprising amount of our construction work IS done by illegals--then has to be redone by Americans! They may work HARD, but either don't have the training or don't have the quality control that American workers do...They are hired because it's cheaper to pay in cash, where SoSec, Workman's Comp, and the other deductions to take-home pay are "optional"!

Status: offline 		The law authorizing bounty hunters to take someone in, are US laws that only apply inside the US. 

If Duane Chapman lied to get into Mexico illegally in order to make money illegally by kidnapping one of their citzens, guess what that makes him?

Try looking up 'illegal alien' somewhere other than Stormfront.

Status: offline 		He didn't try to kidnap one of their citizens, he tried to arrest one of ours that fled down there...Mexico wanted to reinforce their stereotype as a haven for criminals, or perhaps capture an American as "revenge" for all the scum of theirs we've caught here...(Not enough, apparently! )
quote:

ORIGINAL: Wikipedia
On June 18, 2003, Chapman made news with his hunt and capture of Max Factor cosmetics heir Andrew Luster, who at the time was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Luster had fled the United States in the middle of his trial for drugging and raping a number of women, and was convicted in absentia on 86 counts including multiple rape charges connected to assaults in 1996, 1997 and 2000.[2] Chapman was assisted by his "hunt team", consisting of his son Leland and Tim Chapman (brother).


I almost forgot the most important part:
quote:

ORIGINAL: Wikipedia
August 2, 2007
The First Criminal Court in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico dismissed all criminal charges pending against Dog, Tim and Leland Chapman on the grounds that the statute of limitations had expired. The order effectively cancelled all pending charges. The ruling, however, was appealed by the prosecution in order to overturn the lower court's decision. A&E was told that in Mexico, rulings against the prosecution are generally appealed as a matter of principle.[17]


I know everyone hates Wikipedia, but it's as close as you can find to an unbiased source these days!
Secondarily, this will not be the first--and probably not the last--public figure whose remarks will be taken out of context and result in the ending of his show. Please ask Don Imus, Andie and Opie (Although they got theirs back), the Artist Formerly Known as Kramer, that guy from Grey's Anatomy...
Although, oddly, Oprah made an offhand remark about having "a lot of good white people working for me", and not enough people were outraged to get her show canceled...Chris Rock has made a CAREER of comedy about "niggas"...And of course Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have made careers of stirring up racial trouble...You don't suppose being black gives you immunity to "charges of racism" (Tried in the public court of the Media, the "honorable" Pap R. Azzi presiding), do you? Surely not!

Status: offline 		There are two type of arrest... one under color of authority, and the other a citizen's arrest.  Care to explain how either one applies in a country where Chapman is neither authorized, nor a citizen?

Because otherwise, you are claiming that anything is illegal (even being born here) if Hispanics are involved, and anything is legal, even kidnapping, if Anglos are involved.

Status: offline 		Big deal if Dog used the N-word.  Who gives a shit?  Has everyone forgotten "freedom of speech"?  It was a private converstation.  Was is a smart move?  Not at all.  Is there anyone out there who can say they have never used a racial or cultural slur in their entire life?  Hell, I've done it...everyone has in some way, shape, or form.  I believe the word is very derogatory, but what's the difference if an african american calls a white man a cracker, a honky, or some other term?  What about calling an Asian a chink, slant-eyes, or something else?  They don't get in an uproar and flood cities in protests and riots.  Call me whatever you want, it doesn't bother me...I could care less. 

One thing is certain, though.  It seems like anywhere you look in the media, the media is always looking to start controversy with the race card.  It's unfortunate that the world is still a very prejudice place almost 40 years after MLK gave that beautiful, powerful speach, but the reality is the world, especially our country, is very divided.  It's getting to the point where it is no longer the "Land of the free and the home of the brave", but the "Land of the censored and the home of the politically correct".  Now I'm waiting for Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to stick their nose into this shit, too. 

On a different note, if our federal government doesn't do something about the illegal aliens coming into our country, this will be called the United States of Mexico.  So what if Dog wears a mullet...the guy likes it and it's his style.  I wouldn't expect such a comment from someone in a lifestyle that centers around being open minded and accepting of people that are shunned by a large majority of the population because of their lifestyle.

How was he denied his right to freedom of speech?  By being held accountable for what he said?

And how is saying something to another person 'private'?  Once you share it with them it is theirs to repeat if they wish.
If Chapman was calling from his home in Hawaii, the laws there apparently recogize that only one party's consent is needed to legally record a phone conversation.

What slogan?  And where did you get the idea that Americans can enter any country they want to 'chase criminals'? Ever heard of jurisdiction?

Status: offline 		Yes, and I'd believe in Mexico as a jurisdiction if they bothered to police themselves. As of late, however, "Mexico" and "Civilization And the Rule Of Law"(CAROL) are antonyms...Mexican drugs and thugs are flooding America like never before...and also like never before, illegals in America are starting to demand "rights" that they waived by the very act of entering illegally, but I guess they figure they can bully us by sheer force of numbers? Worked for the Mongols, I guess...And America doesn't even have a Great Wall to keep the barbarian parasites out!

Status: offline 		Nice tap dance, complete with segue into your usual rant, but it doesn't address the fact that there is no arrest authority for Chapman in another country, Mexico or otherwise. 
So he was by definition an illegal alien there to commit a crime, just like someone who lied to get into the US to commit an act dictated by non-US laws.

Status: offline 		Dog is being scrutinized because of what he said.  Freedom of speech is the freedom of persecution for what someone has said.  If he didn't issue an immediate and sincere apology for what he said, there would have been a public uproar because of it.  If someone has to apologize for what they said, then it's not freedom of speech.

As for as a private conversation goes, it was a converstation between he and his son.  If his son doesn't agree what he said, that is between the two of them and it should stay between the two of them.  Dog's son shouldn't have stirred up a hornet's nest just because he got pissy because of what his dad said.  Keep in the family and discuss it there, not in the shit-stirring media.

Status: offline 		So you're saying we should let a serial rapist go? Or do you have some belief that Mexico will develop a respect for our laws and hand over fleeing criminals? If and when that happens, I'll not only make a full apology to you and the rest of Mexico's apologists, I'll be very impressed to boot...But so far, Mexicans have shown a great contempt for our language, culture, and ESPECIALLY our laws!
