I did catch most of the show. Something that touched me was Youngblood talking about how the experience made him feel. I know he had a rough beginning. He occasionally makes a quiet reference now and again, like once saying he doesn't like being hit in the face, because he had enough of that as a kid. And on the special, he says his dad was not really a good guy, and that he ran away from home at age 13, to go live with his mom. And that he chose to live a law-abiding life. And after the arrest made the news, he was walking to the store and began to feel like a dirtbag and ashamed. Now that made me cry.

I also didn't understand why the Federal marshalls had to come without warning. Did they really think that Dog, Tim and Leland would try to flee? Couldn't they have made a phone call and explained, hey, the Mexican government is pursuing this, we've been asked to arrest you, can we set it up peacably? I think it makes the Feds look like a bunch of thugs. (Um, not that this surprises me in this day and age considering the thugs in charge of our government - but that's another thread and another story!) These are known people (Dog and his crew), they're non-violent, well established in their community, and basically law abiding people. The Feds couldn't have tried the civil route first? Jeebus - that really fried me.
