Hell, today Ca. producers give TV shows to murderers. Like the "DOG" and his 3/4 ton wife Beth. Back in those days, only a small handfull of people actually died for their crimes. Mostly because of who they shot, not because they killed someone.
Most notorious sherriff's became so, because they was fast drawing cold killers. Including "Garrett" shot double crossed his buddy for fame and cash. Cowardly shooting him in the back.
Most 5 cent novels made killers hero's up to Al Capone days...
Case of Bonnie and Clyde, proves the point!!
Bankers was ok targets and they are 80 times worse now, ripping off Americans for their greed. But the Gov. protects them as much as each other. Otherwise every bank would be robbed daily, as most financial institutions (99.9%) is nothing BUT GOV./State sponsored theives from hard working Americans. Not to mention, most government officials are more crim inal than those convicted and sentenced to jail for what they do every day we pay them to work!!!!

William, you are a very ignorant person for comparing Duane "Dog" Chapman to Billy the Kid. "Dog" and another man were purchasing drugs from a drug dealer in 1976. The man he was with killed the drug dealer. "Dog" was convicted of murder, because at the time of his conviction accessory to murder was not a legal term in Texas. He has spoken of this MANY times on his show. He has the courage to admit it. Watch the show sometime and you will see that each and every time he tries talking to the people he arrests, trying to help them turn their life around. I think he is to be applauded for bringing criminals to justice and helping them as best he can.

It is ridiculous that ignorant folks are permitted to post on this site.
