Talk:Duane Chapman

hair extensions

I suppose it's worth noting now that Chapman wears hair extensions that cover his bald spot. Seems strange to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.250.218.213 (talk • contribs)

Racist?

If he married a woman named LaFonda, I'm thinking she was probably African-American? Doesn't that seem pertinent to thoughts of him being racist? 24.130.61.61 18:57, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I wish we could start this type of service here, but kicking in someone's door just doesn't seem American. Ha. Like his sermons coming out in him from his mom. My mom got a kick out of how Beth runs the house. j brown — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.240.233.28 (talk • contribs) 19:51, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

In the late 1990's there was a television show by Stephen J. Canell called the "Renegade" starring Lorenzo Lamas. Storyline is he is a fugitive ex-cop framed for murder and takes the alias Vince Black and makes a living as a bounty hunter while riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Would anyone happen to know if Duane "Dog" Chapman is the inspiration for this television show? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.235.28.50 (talk • contribs) 19:52, December 17, 2005 (UTC)

Colleagues

I added that bit about some of Chapman's colleagues not liking his style or methods. I do realize there could be some potential POV concerns here. But my feeling is that having this bit in the article illustrates that not everyone approves of his methods and makes the article more rounded and neutral. JesseG 07:07, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Burglar? Murderer?

I don't see a cite for why he is listed as a burglar, nor as a murderer. Complicity is not quite the same thing. Unless this can be justified, I think we should remove these categories. --Mr. Vernon 03:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

On the show once he mentioned that he was the seargent-at-arms of a biker gang. He then said that he was convicted of manslaughter(99% sure) or murder (1% sure) -- 71.131.23.183 02:30, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Da Kine Bail Bonds (edit)

I removed the passage that stated he started Da Kine Bail Bonds. His son Leland started the company. Source — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stacy83 (talk • contribs) 10:52, May 20, 2006 (UTC)

Tim Chapman

Lets get this correct once and for all. Tim Chapman is NOT Duane's brother, they are not related. Please see their official site http://www.dogthebountyhunter.com/main.php "Tim, who shares a last name with Dog and is called "Youngblood," is not actually related." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohbe (talk • contribs) 11:53, August 3, 2006 (UTC)

Fair Use?

Wouldn't using this picture fall under the category of a significant event in the history of a famous person? http://www.midweek.com/content/paina/image_full/3707/ --Mr T 15:43, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

2006 Arrest

I just was watching CNN Headline news 5 minutes ago when I heard about his, at this very moment in time it seems that no one esle has reported on this, though if someone chacks in about 4 hours, I imagine this will be all over the place. Avador 17:56, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Mexico needs to get off it's soapbox, shut their mouths and leave him alone. Who removed the petition link? There isn't anything wrong with mentioning a petition. Doesn't mean you support it. KCMODevin 03:26, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I liked the guy. However, if Mexico wants him, he's in very very big trouble. Prisons in Mexico are nothing to play with especially if you'r not mexican. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.167.68.245 (talk • contribs)

this is not a mexico problem, its a US problem, the US was influenced by being completley run by corporations into extriding the man, this is an outrage, and not only should people call for his return to the US, but they should call for the removal of whoever made the decision to cooperate with mexico, a country that makes NO effort to prevent the extreme amount of drugs that come across the border into texas
