Story

Personally, it's great that the scumbag he brought back is (and will remain) in jail... but the bottom line is that you can't just go to another country and ignore their laws, do as you please, kidnap people, and then complain when they want to toss you in prison.

I'm guessing he would normally not have gotten extradited, but the US does not want Mexico to stop extraditing drug lords and other such ilk, so they'll throw the Mexican government a bone (Dog - har har har).

Serial rapist...

And yeah, this is BS. He was actively hunting women in Mexico when he was caught. Mexico should give Dog a medal for getting him out of their country.

That really sucks, and you have to wonder why the Mexicans are so hell bent on convicting the guy for 'kidnaping' a serial rapist. They don't give a sh!t when foreign citizens are murdered but for some reason, they got a hardon for convicting this guy.

i believe it has something to do with Andrew Luster providing money to certain people in Mexico...

i love dog!

he's so tough for the bust, but when they're in the back of the expedition or in the office, you can see the genuine pain he feels for his captives. he truly cares about the person. sometimes it's commical to see him get emotional with them, but more often than not, it's truly heartwarming. congrats to him for go 180 degrees in his life and i wish the best for him in a mexican jail.

So I guess this sends another message to criminals, just escape to Mexico and you will be free from your crimes.

Like someone else said the only reason this is even being pursued is because Luster paid the right people in Mexico to dish out his retribution.

Big thumbs down to the US government on this one for being both spineless and hypocritical.

Federal agents were more than happy to take Luster off Dog's hands, knowing full well where and how Dog picked him up. You didn't see the government turning away Dog, lecturing him on international borders, and releasing Luster back to Mexico.

Nope, our government takes Luster, pays Dog, and when the Mexicans throw a fit, caves in like a coal mine.

I totally agree on that.

IIRC, Dog never saw a dime for his efforts.
