I think we can rely on Colorado's own law enforcement officers to combat methamphetamine (if we can persuade them to stop wasting time and tax dollars harassing medical marijuana patients and caregivers anyway) without the assistance of 'Dog'. Crazy, right-wing, self-styled Christians like this felon, because he claims to be one of them and says he's sorry. Deracinated, non-traditional, self-styled Christians do not understand the meaning of the word 'penance'; if you invoke Jesus and say you're sorry, you're good to go for more sin!

This guy was a career criminal jailbird felon and now because he has a TV show some people ride his jock like he is actually stopping crime. BAIL BONDS MEN don't stop crime, they get paid from it!

Windskull-according to people like Aliverer Meth heads only support Obama…. sounds like someone has been smoking up their profit! Guest speaker? I'm suprised dawg didn't get the VP nod!

I dont care if he wore a hood to go get meth dealers. I would not care if it were the Black Panthers, Bloods, Crips, Nortenos or any other ethnic group or gang that went out to get Meth Dealers. The more the better.
The police are not concentrated on this epidemic. Period. Oh yes they get a big bust or 2, but in my dealings with getting these people off the street, they wanted me to do all the work and they just show up with the cool shiny cuffs. BS BS BS
And YOU qualify it with a South Park Song??? I love SouthPark and yea damn funny, but YOUR qualifications for leaving METH dealers to the cops?

I just love the rants about how the "dog" is a racist. I guess people on here have never made a mistake before so they have the time to talk trash about others.. I am glad someone has the balls to take a stand against these drug dealers and labs. I don't care who cleans up our communities as long as there are results. I have nothing against our police, but they have so much to do that these criminals slip through the cracks and get their products on the streets. I don't agree with what "dog" said but I do as a christian forgive him and so should you.

OhBrother,

Sorry missed words on the qualification question. It was referring to you siting SouthPark as qualifications as Dog is not a good guy. Animated cartoons??? Like I said I like SP as much as anyone, but would never use for facts...... I am not a Dog fan, but DO support him out there chasing down Meth Dealers where ever he decides to do so. Again he could do it with a hood on or in conjunction with the Crips. I dont care who or what he is....only that he is out there doing something about this problem.

Read my post again. I DONT CARE WHO is out there busting Meth dealers. They are out there busting them. How much have you dealt with local police as it refers to Meth Dealers? I unfortunately have. They dont want to investigate. They want the address, time they are home, for them to waste their time in investigations. The police are Losing this battle. What is wrong with having others helping in fighting this battle?

robert29b,

You forget. When a dem is a racist, but denies it, e.g. Grand Kleagle Robert "Turd" Bird, the dems turn a Nelsonian blind eye to it. When someone that is in a profession that the dem's don't like, e.g. bounty hunter, or is a conservative, then anything from active klan membership to a screw up is to be castigated at length and never forgotten.

So much for the party of understanding.

Cololib-Again, what are you talking about? I never cited SP as proof dog is a bad guy, I cited it as funny stuff-I cited Dogs own words as the reason why he is a tard to me. Defend him all you like, I'm not surprised. I love it how when someone gets caught ranting the way he did fellow mentally challenged individuals claim it was a "mistake"? You don't mistakenly say things like that, you chose to and he is responsible for his words and actions. If you’re racist, why be ashamed? Call it what it is and stick to your guns. (oh that's right racist don't exist anymore)

I help the community by working with at risk kids and coaching. I also occasionally volunteer at the mission cleaning and fixing food or whatever they need. Look, I'm not making this some type of me against him or black against white-take it there if you want. The police do a fine job in my book (of course over worked and under paid) but of course they need a little help now and then. Sorry the cops asked you to get off your tail and provide some facts and data instead of just a " they sell meth, make them stop” statement being enough to kick down the door and arrest them.

OhBrother. Assumptions my friend assumptions.

Where did I ever support DOG and what he said? Where? I think it is good someone is going out and riling these guys up. Does that mean that I support what he has done or said NO.

"they sell meth, make them stop" IN Quotes? Where did I ever ever say that? For your future reference I gave them Names and Phone #s and associates. They wanted addresses. My comment back...... They dont have addresses, why? because they know the police want addresses. They move from house to house to house to keep away from the situation.

Not assuming but was that racist remark to me? If I am wrong I apologize but Brother come to my family reuinions dude. We are every color on the planet.

LoneTreeLady75,

No one here is saying that what Dog said was O.K. What some of us are saying is that people screw up and say stuff that they later regret. Therefore, don't hold stupid stuff against someone if it was an isolated incident and they apologize.

So, was Dog's incident isolated? Heck if I know, but until he is caught spouting off like that again the right thing to do is to give him the benefit of doubt.

There is a BIG difference between the two. The first is what cops do, bust the criminals. The second is what bounty hunters do, capture bail jumpers.

You are right slugo, there are some real idiots here, lol.

You and broncodan seem confused as to reality. "The Dog" is not cleaning up society, if anything he is making society worse. "The Dog" doesn't arrest people, the police do that. "The Dog" is the person WHO PUTS THE METH DEALERS BACK ON THE STREET AND THEN LOSES TRACK OF THEM. Only then does he have to try and collect his mistakes. You seem confused as to the role Bondsmen play in America. To try and claim "the Dog" makes society better is ludicrous. If I chop someone's leg off and then I apply a tourniquet to save their life does that make me a hero?

You might argue that if "the Dog" didn't bail the accused crooks out of jail them someone else would and you would be correct, but the exact same thing could be said of meth dealers.

Wow, I can't believe some of you would actually rather have the drug dealers around than Dog. I could be wrong, but don't drug dealers kill people? Aren't they more or less menaces to society? You have to move to get away from those people. Last I heard, you could merely change the channel to get away from Dog. That would take a little bit of self governing, though. Imagine that, thinking for yourself. Some of you people get waaaaay too offended (panties in a bunch) by someone you don't have to acknowledge. Don't watch his show, & certainly don't talk about him in public forums. You only give him more publicity as you do this. You, as posters, lose all credibility when you continually subject yourself to something you don't like. Anybody remember 2 Live Crew? Shut up & it will just go away.

Anyone here understand the Bounty Hunter world? They are tracking down people that THEY bailed out. They aren't ridding the world of scum they are getting their money back. Bail bondsman like Dog, put these people back on the street after they are arrested, then have to go back and get them when they dont show up in court. its a tough ethical question, do you take someone from behind bars to make a buck and risk more people's well being? For many bail bondsman it's a yes, though some are very careful who they will let go. Dog isn't cleaning up anything but people his companies paid to have released from jail. Im not saying I dont like the guy, I just want to make sure people understand whats really being done.

Dog and family are bailing out the no goods, and the people who just made a mistake. They usually end up chasing down the no goods, and making money off of both the no goods and the mistake makers. They have found a niche and more power to them. Racism is a two way street, prejudice is found in all colors and creeds, he was caught in a sting created by his own family member. I do not condon it by any means, as I do not condon Jesse Jacksons off mike remarks, or Sharptons.

Dog and family are not an example I want my children following, or a life I would want to live. They cannot hide their past, and they show their low classed ways in the way they dress, act, and manners. With this being said, they are good entertainment, I love a good chuckle. I do think someday they will face someone with big guns and no mind, at that time bad things will happen, of course it will all be on camera for our entertainment! Shows you who the real low classed people are...
