Zitat des Tages von Duane Chapman:
I've been a biker, I've been a convict, I've been a husband, father, and son.
If I was Judge Del Rosario, I would say Ili, of all people, you know better.
I'm Native American, so it's in my blood to always want brothers and friends. I'm a good brotherhood guy.
Born on a mountain, raised in a cave. Arresting fugitives is all I crave.
You can't be afraid to put out a fire if you're a fireman. You can't be afraid to be a police officer and carry a gun if you're afraid to get up and go out there. So you've got to put that fear to the side and go out in faith to overcome that.
It's just like being a father; you got to show them love and you got to show them the path. I don't like this role-model stuff, though.
I have a hard problem, being some part Native American - being a Christian: do you get burned, do you get cremated, do you get - let the sharks eat you? How do you die?
And I used to say, 'I'm black, too.' In other words, I - my whole life I've been called a half-breed, a convict, king of the trailer trash, this and that. I take that and stand.
Six men can carry you or 12 men can judge you. You decide!
In Hawaii, we have something called Ho'oponopono, where people come together to resolve crises and restore peace and balance.
I was in prison for a charge in Texas, murder one. Back in the '70s in Texas, I was there. I heard the shot. I was in the car.
Everybody's under God's planet, and God is the Almighty, the Beginning, the End, the Alpha, the Omega. He's Big Daddy. He gives out these little soldiers and sons and angels and saints to help everybody else get through to him. I'm not the 'Jesus-only or you're going to Hell' kind of guy.
When I was a child I liked watching shows about bounty hunters and Canadian Mounties. I liked the 'Lone Ranger,' I liked shows where the guy saved the girl from the villain. I just liked those kinds of things and I wanted to be a guy like that, you know, that would save the damsel in distress.
I love what I do. I love to capture the guy. I love to tell the victim 'Don't worry anymore. They're in jail.' And this is my way to heaven. This is my way to contribute to America what I know how to do best, and that's chase down the predator.
The closest thing to hell on earth is prison. It's the worst experience I've ever had in my life. Besides death.
