Featured review
Bounty Hunters from what most people in reviews here claim they are low lives and are white trailer park trash. Not all bounty Hunters are like that. The best example was Ralph"Papa" Thorson whose life inspired the book and the Movie the Hunter which was Steve Mcqueen's last movie. Thorson was a honorable man. He did his job tracking down Bail jumpers people who were either guilty of a crime or staring at three strikes and a jail sentence. Papa brought them in every time Because usually a great deal of money was on the line or someone's house was on the line. Papa also took in some of the felons he caught and gave them jobs or a roof over their head. After they came out of jail. After Papa Died his wife Dottie took over the business and ran it the way Papa did.Papa alway believed in redemption and second chances.
Duane "Dog " Chapman and his wife Beth are right from the same mold that Papa was made from. Dog and Beth have made mistakes which included jail time for Dog it was time in a Texas jail for murder. However when he came out a few people believed in him and helped him turn his life around. So he became a Bounty Hunter and attempts to do the same thing. He offers redemption and hope. A lot of people call Dog and his family names. But what about the people who run and let other people lose homes cars or great sums of money. Dog and his family have a lot riding on this usually anywhere from 10 thousand dollars to sometimes 50 thousand dollars. The bail jumper if not caught and brought to jail or court makes them liable to lose that money. Those people are the true trash. Dog Chapman and his family at least try to offer them Hope and redemption. Sometimes the answer isn't always there until someone points it out. The show is maybe the best thing reality TV has to offer. At best it's inspiring. At worst it's entertaining.
