Dog The Bounty Hunter: I Am Deeply Sorry

Dog, it is truly okay and you really do not need to apologise for what you TRULY feel. I mean, you are the EPITOME of the N word anyway and you have a rap sheet as large as your wife's torpedo launchers. Really, do not apologise. so many people love you for announcing your true trailer trash thoughts. It only reminds the rest of us the true sorry failure you really are. I knew that you had that ignorant garbage in your soul anyway and you call yourself a man of GOD. BEFORE you used that word, many of us knew that your filthy soul had it in you all along.

Why don't you use some of those old re-hashed scriptures that you tend to use on your little pot smokers whom you enjoy arresting over some marijuana dust (as if you are really helping society). Catch some REAL criminals.

And if you truly are so very sorry, why don't you just cancel your show, sell it on mega DVDs to your equally ignorant following and stay off of the A&E network so that the rest of us will watch some decent programming for a change..

dear dog To tell you the truth i dont think you need to apoligies for anything at all you did nothing wrong you did not act in a manner to offened anyone. if they feel offened they need to turn the other way because what you spoke about was not meant for everyones ears i personal know what you meant i use the word in my vocabulary towardes my friends and my brother but you should not beafraid to be yourselfout off work when i talk to people i dont see color off the skin i see people.i dont think you should let this get you down because as much as it was the love of the show there going to realize how stupid this was for leting you go i loved your show and if a@e cant see how many lives you touched then i think the best way to get back at them is to not tune in to there channel which i will no longer do i feel that they should have been in your corner because we are all not perfect The real rasizem is in the people that still think about rasizem to justifie what should or can or cant be said. i dont know why people hold on to the past. i think that those people who attack dog chapmen for a word that dosent mean anything rasis in this day an age are the ones who are mentaly inslaved by the thoughts off the past. they should give up the in slavement and live free down with rasisem. find the cures for a real epidemic like cancer instead of waisting time talking about something that is practicly dead such as rasisem. my ancesters were slaves they were of african decent im puerto rican and there is something called freedom of speach but i dont see rasisemthat was in the past and many people of all colors died for my freedom rasisem still lives in those people who call for it point it out when there is nun dog dont feel sorry i feel sorry for you god bless dog and your family

O.K Dog goofed! That word is not acceptable. I dont believe he is a racist. Also when did we start crucifying people for comments made in the privacy of their home? Are we to the stage that we no longer have the right to free-speach in our homes?

When are we as Caucasions going to get irate when we are called honkies,white trash and crackers? Never. We would be laughed at and scorned. But its ok if we are treated with disrespect , for as long as the white race exists,we will be punished for our ancestors brutal behavior. Oprah said its time to stop blaming the white man. So get on with it. Its time for healing!

Dog has had a long hard journey and he will learn from his mistakes as we all do. God has forgiven him. Why cant we?

Dog, I support you all the way. You said a bad word, but you apologized profusely for it, and I believe that you have made or still are making good for it. With that said I have more admiration for you than I did befor the copy of the tape went out, because you have shown people to own up to their mistakes rather than run away from them. I hope that you are standing strong in all this, because you have many fans standing strong behind you. You and your family are in my prayers every day. I really hope and pray that this show is put back on the air.

Dog,
First I have to say I am behind you and your crew 110%. I know you screwed up but doesn't everyone. I completely forgive you and don't think any less of you. I think it's ridiculous how rappers can say that word and don't lose there job but when a white man says it in a PRIVATE conversation to family it's blown way out of whack. from watching your show I am in the hopes of being a bondsmen when I graduate high school. you're a huge inspiration and I would hopefully be very lucky to work with you and your crew. I know that there are not very many bondsmen like you that take the time to talk to you're fugitive and straighten them out and that's why I would like to work with you and your crew. Best of luck for the future. Your fan always, Taylor.

Dog, I 'am sorry to hear that A&E had taken you off the show. I think that wasn't fair what your son, Tucker did to you. You want to know what else isn't fair, that he took it to the tabloids all to hurt you and to make some money out of it. Since when do you lose your freedom to talk to your son , on the phone, in your own home and be able to say what is on your mind? although I wouldn't use the N-word. I know in my heart that you said it out of anger to your son and that is was a private conversation. People who live in glass houses shouldn't talk! Thats to anyone, going along with taking you off the air?!!! I have a question to present to you ? How would A&E like it, if you told them that you were planing on moving your show to another network?!!!!!
Well, good luck with whatever may happen and please, don't let it get you down. I will be watching for updates to see how you and your family are doing. Also I will pray for you and your family.

GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS!

Dog, I can't possibly image how much Tucker hurt you when he allowed this to fall into the tabloid's hands. I do not believe that you meant what you said, and I am behind you all the way. You are a guiding light in the lives of many fugitives, and you have helped so many people, Dog. You say you have helped over 6,000 people, but in all reality, you have helped way more than that. I know you are not proud of what went on after the Andrew Luster capture, but think, Dog, if you hadn't taken him off the street, Luster could have hurt more innocent young women. Although they had a leash on the Dog for a little while, you wouldn't let it bring you down. You kept right on going. And you'll keep right on going. Why? Because you're the DOG! Not only are you the Dog, you are my hero. And I forgive you. I forgave you the moment I saw you crying your eyes out and ripping yourself to shreds on that first interview with Hannity and Colmes. It broke my heart that you were beating yourself up so badly. I was watching the interview with my parents and I just kept whispering "I forgive you, Dog. You're still my hero, Dog. I still look up to you, Dog." BECAUSE I DO. You don't cry on your show, you put on your shades and the camera pans away. But you cried and apologized 'till you were red in the face. You made yourself weak and vunerable for all the nation to see and all the nation to judge. But it isn't our right to judge you. Only God can do that. As a good Christian girl I cannot condemn you for what you have done, and neither can the rest of the world. You have apologized to the nation, to your fans, to Tucker and Monique, to all of us. Dog, you can't let them rip out your heart and smash it on the pavement like so many crack pipes. You have to stay strong, stay tough. I'll admit you are a little rough around the edges, but aren't we all? Noone is perfect, Dog, and neither are you! You're not a saint, you make mistakes. And that's all that you did, Dog, you made a mistake. We have all made mistakes, my brother, none of us are perfect, except the LORD himself. I'm not here to preach to you, just to tell you the words you need to hear. Dog, you are a hero and an admirable man to me in so many ways. You fight for what's right. You help people get their lives back, and that's more significant than any sin or transgression. Over 6,000 captures. Time for a little math. You take those 6,000+ and multiply them by how many friends' lives they can touch because you have helped them and muiltply that number by how many innocent people were also saved by bringing these people to justice. I'm not a math genius, but that's at least quadruple the amount of people you have caught. You also said yourself one episode that noone else is going to do what you do for these fugitives when you bring them in. Noone else will allow them the liberty and priviledge of the last smoke, a bottled water, and words of advice, comfort, and strength from a man who has been through hell himself and didn't recieve these luxuries. You said yourself all the police will do is slap the cuffs on 'em and load 'em up into the back of a squad car and take 'em to prison. They need you, Dog, and we do to. We need to hear your words of advice as much as those fugitives, for your words also give us strength to go about our everyday lives. I remember a day or so ago, I was walking home from my bus stop and looked up at a clear, cloudless blue Georgia sky. A large bird, maybe a hawk of some sort, flew overhead and tipped its wing at me before it flew away into the trees, and the first thing that came to my mind was you and that episode you dedicated in loving memory to Pop, talking about that damn bald eagle. As I thought of that episode, I thought of the good you do for people, and even though I had been having an extremely crappy day, I smiled to myself as I thought of you. As I sit here, I question what our nation has come to when a man having a private conversation with his son is no longer safe from public scrutiny. It was private, between you and Tucker, which in my mind's eye makes you guilty of no crime whatsoever. You also said you hadn't meant it in a deroggitory way, which also strikes off any fault. You are not at fault here, Dog. There is a way to say that without it being deroggitory. I should know, albeit I'm not black, I'm as white as the year is long, but I do go to a predominantly black school in the South, so I hear it alot. In a way, I'm used to hearing it. It outraged me that this small little word said in a non-deroggitroy way in a private conversation could throw a good man into a boiling pot of trouble soup. That it was said in the context it was made me able to forgive you quite easily. What else made me forgive you quite easily was that you tore youself apart apologizing on national TV for all of us to see. You were able to admit your wrongdoings and apologize so profusely in front of the whole nation, and none of it looked rehearsed. When people apologize on live TV, they have rehearsed. You didn't, and you make youself weak and humble. You made yourself a human being, just like the rest of us. That you were able to admit what you had done was wrong and apologize was a most admirable trait, as not many will do that. I promise you, Dog, this will be alright. I have been praying for you and will continue to do so. You also said you would only come back if the public wanted you back, and I WANT YOU BACK. It may not be the whole American public putting their voice into those four words, but at least there is someone here who wants you back, not for Tuesday night entertainment, but to see the wonders you work and the great things you do for other people's lives. I WANT YOU BACK, DOG, I WANT YOU BACK.
GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU HAVE BLESSED SO MANY PEOPLE!

I'm a little confused after watching Dr. Phil talk about you tonight on Larry King. I have a lot of respect for Dr. Phil as he is a very intelligent and good man that has helped so many people heal their lives. But tonight I saw a man who was also after ratings and I am happy that you did not allow yourself to be exploited. I mean just because you want guidance from Christian black leaders doesn't mean you want it in the public eye. And when Dr. Phil said that you have to step up and say that you are sorry and show it........I mean you have sincerely said it so many times from Hannity and Colmes to Larry King, that I don't know what he is talking about just because you didn't say sorry on his show. Dr. Phil first said that you should "not" have had your show cancelled because what you said was in a private conversation. Then this girl calls in to Larry King and says she thinks you are not sorry for what you said because you would not go on the Dr. Phil show, and that you shouldn't get your show back because of this.......right then, Dr. Phil changes and says that you shouldn't have your platform back right away......?.....adding that you still have some work to do and some commitments to make.........??

As a member of the viewing public, what on earth do you have to prove to anybody and what work and commitments is he talking about???? You sincerely apologized and that is enough! And that should be enough.....if it's not, then you are absolutely brilliant for staying away from the Dr. Phil show......I mean, what is Monique's mom doing on the panel of the Dr. Phil show anyways?.....what was going to happen with that?......whatever your reasons - if or not you trust Monique or her mother is your private business and the reason does not have to be given. Everybody thinks you owe them something. You didn't even owe that apology you gave since what you said was supposed to be for no one's ears but your son's. However, you split yourself open when you realized that people were offended by what you said and that some thought you were one of those racists that thinks they are better than everyone, which is like no way! (Most of us can tell)

This is so frustrating to see a good person like you going through all this. Larry King told Dr. Phil that you came on his show without any pre-conditions, so you were really wide open. But it is cool to see how you are able to tell when someone just wants to make a public parade out of you. I'm glad your sincerity won't let them.

Peace,
Terri

hey dog, i'm a fan and and i have to say, dude you may have screwed up but good lord people it isn't the end of the earth. i know that makes me sound like i think the term is okay, i don't. but it was a mistake said in the moment of passion. none of us knows what the situation is like with your son and his girlfriend. maybe she's the scum of the earth, maybe not. it's real easy to be a backseat driver in all of this. DOG, keep your head high. you have appologized. people can accept it or not. all you can do is put forth the effort to show you are more than your words and people will either get on with it or not, but at the end of the day it's their choice. i still think you're the man who has taken the time with so many others people would rather forget about, where are those remembering that?

Dear Dog,

Let me start by saying, I am a faithful fan. I watched you deal with your troubles in Mexico, I watched Beth cry for you to come home, I watched as you mourned the death of your baby girl after she was killed in a car accident, I watched you and Beth join together in marriage and I have watched you bring many, many bad guys to justice. I love your show and your family and hate that this has all transpired.

As a loyal fan who is a white woman married to a black man, I must admit that I am gravely disapppointed that you would resort to that horrible ugly word. I have three beautiful children that are biracial and I would hope that as they grow older, that word will become obsolete from everyone's vocabularies, including the vocabularies of black people since it tends to be used by all, not just white folks. Having said all of this, you asked for our forgiveness and I want you to please know that I do forgive you Dog. My disappointment is great but I know in my heart that you are a man of great character and I can't let myself believe that you would purposely use words to hurt someone. You have done many great things in your life and overcome many obstacles and I hope that this mistake only makes you stronger and proves your character to be even greater.

Stay strong and keep your head up. May God bless you and your family and know that you will get through this.

Still a loyal fan, Nikki from Virginia

First off, I LOVE you DOG! Your show is a breath of fresh air in the clogged sewer pipes called television. It's obvious that you are a genuine and courageous person!! So you made a mistake? A mis-judgement in words perhaps. Whew... I sure am glad that no other American has done this including myself. How insane is this? ONE mistake! You used th N word? So what? You also used explicit language when apprehending an Ice head criminal that is cowering underneath a table in a back bedroom scared to death of capture and willing to risk your life and your family's to make the streets safe. A & E has made a TERRIBLE mistake by stopping production of your show and we as friends and fans want YOU back!! HEAR THAT A&E?? Today's society is shot and it is gonna take go-getters and risk takers like yourself to shake America back into reality! May God keep you in his comfort now during this troubling time and may He continue to bless you. Keep those Golden locks held high! You are a phenominal Man! Don't let ANYONE bring you down including a troubled son who is coached by others! Rock on!!
All my best!
Allison

GO DOG!
PS...I think the NAACP and the black leaders of Hawaii's time would be better spent talking to the rap artist and inner city schools and asking them not to use the "N" word because I my opinion until the black community stops using the word, white people have the right to use it too.

Dog, you have done more that is expected of you. The News anchors on Hannity/Colmes and on CNN all commented on how sincere your apology was and how so many stars and political figures should learn from you and your ethics. Personally, I don't think you have anything to apologize for as everyone has made racial slurs in the privacy of their own home and anyone who says otherwise is a liar. Even people who are on here slamming you are guilty of it and have no right to put you down. You have done so much good and no one can take that away from you.

You have the support of 87% of America and not too many people can say that! You are loved by so many people. Focus on that! We love you!

Our last President committed immoral acts while on duty in the White House. He lied about it, then apologized about it and everyone moved on. Dog said something in private to his family and was betrayed and now may lose his job - even though he has apologized. Where is the justice? Actions speak louder than words and hero's are human. It's time to move on. If A&E doesn't have the backbone to stand behind their star - shame on them. Maybe Dog should dump them and move on to another network where he can be appreciated.

Dog,
I, for one, know deep in my heart that you are not a racist! You have the kindest heart that I have ever seen in anyone! I have a great respect for you and for what you do to keep the streets of Chicago and Hawaii safe. I just want to let you know that you have a few die-hard devoted fans that will remain 100% loyal to you and the whole Chapman family throughout this ordeal. I strongly believe that a personal conversation between two people should ALWAYS remain private unless both parties agree to share it.
I'm a fan for almost 2 years and I never miss an episode! I do believe in Dogism! lol! (("I like to hear that God goes before us, 'cause he is the biggest bullet proof vest of all"))
Dog, you ARE a man on God's mission and people please!! let him do what he does best and help those who can't get help by themselves! This is his calling! Him and his posse are doing a damn good job!!!! You and your family are in my prayers!!!!
God Bless,
Kashka

Mr. Chapman,

I am just one of the thousands of fans writing you and your family to show my support.

I have been a long time fan of your program; you and your family have entertained me and my family for countless hours and I hope A&E can see to it that you continue to do so.

I heard your comments posted on the National Enquirer website and although your language and choice of wording may leave something to be desired, your overall sentiment fell far short of being racist or derrogatory. I hope that people will look past the term you used and focus on what you were actually saying.

You may be a little rough around the edges at times but that is part of why everyone loves you so much. In my experience watching your program, you have shown yourself to be an extraordinarily forgiving and emotionally generous person. Hopefully everyone will soon show you just a fraction of the forgiveness you have demonstrated every night on your program.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you begin to heal professionally, emotionally and spiritually. I cannot imagine the pain you must be feeling within your own family right now.

From one HAPA girl to the entire Chapman family, I wish you peace and you have my full supprt!
