Glen Beck

I have always enjoyed watching Glen Beck and generally agree with most of what he says, that is until last night. It was difficult to sit there and watch his interview with Duane Chapman, at the point he called him a hero I came close to losing my lunch.

What is it with so many social conservatives crooning over this criminal? Those who support Chapman only seem to discuss the Luster matter and I will agree Luster got what he deserved, but calling a convited murderer a hero goes beyond the pale. Are we supposed to forget the 16 felony charges that have been levied against Chapman? Are we supposed to ignore his murder conviction?

Glen Beck has always supported law and order, yet I find it strange that he ignores the rules of law when it comes to Chapman; why is that Mr. Beck? What is it about this criminal that has you so enthralled?

Let us be clear about the facts here, Duane Chapman entered Mexico under false pretenses, he engaged in an activity that is illegal (bounty hunting) and then did what he arrests others for, he jumped bail. As Americans we get upset when someone flees this country and rightly demand their return to stand trial, but are we so better than everyone else that the rules do not apply to us?

Duane Chapman should be immediately and without delay be extradited to Mexico to stand trial for his actions, anything less would be a tragedy.
