You know the one? The bloke who drugged and raped all those women, then jumped bail only to be found in Mexico by that whacked-out bounty hunter?
Well, I don’t know what drives a privileged individual to commit such heinous crimes, but may I say, hearing about his capture this week just about made my week!
He may be a whacked-out bounty hunter but what is the deal here, he apprehends a convicted criminal and the Mexicans throw him in the slammer? I mean, surely he had the paper.
Although it’s kinda interesting that his producer and cameraman were along for the bust.
About the privileged individual, I think there’s some kind of third-generation curse (uh, would that be right? I guess, if he’s the great-great-grandson it would actually be a 4th-generation curse). But we’ve seen this before. Many times. (She says, and then cannot think of one specific one, let alone provide a cite.)
According to CNN, Mexico doesn’t recognise bounty hunters (or bail bondsmen or whatever) as having any specil authority, so what he’s doing is viewed as kidnapping, regardless of what papers he has. That’s why he was arrested.
Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico. It’s considered kidnapping. This “Dog” dude knew (or should have known) that before he went there. He chose to go to another country and break their laws out of pure greed. Fuck him. It’s good to know he’s rotting in Mexican jail.
Also, the FBI would have gotten Luster anyway so the bounty hunter was just getting in the way and complicating things.
Having said all that, Luster is a piece of human dogshit, I’m glad he’s going to prison where he belongs and i hope he never gets out.
MSNBC had an interview with another bounty hunter, who said that the guy could have just called the Mexican cops and told them “hey, the guy’s at ________, and I’m tailing him - will let you know if he moves.” If there’d been a real bail agency involved, he would have still received his reward; in this case Luster put up his own bail, so this bounty hunter was acting on his own rather than on a contract. Add the fact that he apparently had a reality TV crew along, and we can see what a good bit of his motivation was - publicity, money from the producers, etc. Sounds to me like the experience of being jailed will just add more free publicity for the surely upcoming TV show.
Hey! We’re supposed to be pitting Luster here, not the bounty hunter.
I am sad to say that that prick commited his crimes right by where I live. Fuck him for polluting my community. I am glad that he will rot in jail for the rest of his life.
Who’s more stupid than a criminal? One who makes video tapes of his own crimes.
Something else that’s illegal in Mexico is entering the country illegally. Apparently, the Mexican government’s concerned about illegal entry when it’s into their country but they sure do pitch a fit whenever a politician in the United States mentions illegal entry into the US.
At any rate, I’m glad the worthless critter’s back in America where he’s going to face Justice.
Stop! Stop! You’re ripping my heart out! Luster is just a poor misunderstood amateur porn producer. All he was trying to do was make sure those gals got starring roles in his debut flick.
Wha…? He drugged and raped them? Well gosh, maybe he should have a century of jail time coming. I really like the part where his lawyer is trying to have the in absentia conviction overturned. Ummm … you flee the country to avoid apprehension and the judge is going to take a dim view towards any putative claims of innocence. Using your wealth to subvert the judicial system is not going to win you any friends on a right honorable bench.
Now, wouldn’t it be ironic if the same thing he inflicted upon those women happened to him while he’s inside doing hard time? Without any of the drugs, of course. He needs to be completely conscious when it occurs so that not one single drop of delicious irony escapes his rect … er, I mean, notice.
Wish all you like, Monty, it’s a free country. I am sick of predatory bastards like Luster stealing the night from women. The collective damage done by maggots like him makes this world a much lonlier place for untold millions of people. Honorable men are given less of a chance to meet women and good women are forced to stay home at night from fear of going out alone.
He is not just a rapist, he is a predator. There is a huge difference and there is little punishment that can be inflicted upon him to adequately compensate for the harm done to his victims. Ever talk to a rape victim, Monty? Ever see the complete havoc such an assault can wreak on a woman’s life?
I have, first hand. The last woman who lived with me went through spousal rape. It left her completely mistrusting of men. It also rendered her pretty much frigid. She viewed even the most gentle of love making as some sort of assault. I did my best to help her and her young daughter. I was a better father to her daughter than her ex-husband. He would show online pornography to my lover’s fourteen year old nephew.
When the daughter began to stay at my house for weekends, I quickly found out that all she would eat were hot dogs, potato chips, French fries, hamburgers, fish sticks and pudding. That was all she was fed by her father who still lived at home with his mother. I struggled to feed her a healthy diet. By the time our relationship dissolved one year later, the daughter was eating cauliflower or broccoli with cheese sauce, fresh oranges, pork chops, meat loaf, mashed potatoes and many other foods.
Until you have seen the damage wrought by sexual predators and rapists first hand you have little idea of the tragedy and trauma they leave in their wake. If it is a violation of SDMB policy to wish that Luster get a taste of his own medicine, then I will cheerfully retract any such public statements. The prison community has a well documented track record of turning the tables on rapists and child molesters. I’m confident that, given the opportunity, they will see to it Luster gets a guided tour of being a rape victim.
Well, Zenster, if rape was the appropriate punishment for ANY crime, you’d think we’d have included it in our sentencing guidelines. I personally despise the way rape has become a defacto part of our criminal justice system.
That said, this guy has to be a total slimeball. I mean, he has enough money that he could easily have hired prostitutes to play the part of sleeping women for him. Perhaps even some would have taken barbituates and let him have his way with them as they slept, for sufficient amounts of money.
No, given the way he handled things, you have to figure that a big part of the thrill for him was violating the woman’s consensuality. I have always wondered about that. At what point does a person decide that the feelings of their sex partners just don’t matter? How do you get to be that far removed from normal human feelings?
Perhaps prison will give him an opportunity to ponder these points.
Okay, Zenster. And exactly how much moral superiority over the other scum do you now claim by your fervent desire that someone become the victim of a crime?
BTW, you asshole. Yes, I do know more than one rape victim.
I don’t believe this asshole!! Hell if he’d have given ME a couple hundred dollard I’d have let him sleep with me!! Shit I’d even have let him tie me up if thats what got his rocks off. Why the HELL does ANY man feel they have to RAPE anyone?!?!? Stupid fuckers.
Oh, for the love of Pete. This is supposed to be about that piece of shit Luster, not about whether or not we think he should be raped in prison. We’ve been through that. Rape = WRONG in whatever context it happens.
Here you get to the central core of my own outrage. This maggot considered himself to be an “ethical player” yet saw nothing wrong about abrogating “consensuality” (as you so well put it) in the worst way. His depraved indifference to human life and any sort of morality pretty much places him outside of qualification as a human being.
Monty, while this is the Pit, your immediate resort to insult has been duly noted. Your haste to do so tends to eclipse your credibility rather quickly. If you know rape victims, then you also know the long term damage and trauma that I am talking about. That you are so quick to condemn me and not pursure the topic of Luster’s depravity smacks of convenient argument and not much else.
