A mutual friend shared a Facebook post of mine about The Hunt setting a record for CNN. One of her friends replied "They need to put John Walsh back on tv!"
Really? These people complaining they don't like The Hunt because it's not AMW are bad enough (the show shouldn't matter, it's John Walsh and the MISSION that matters) but I get a feeling half of these people making "Bring back AMW" comments on posts about The Hunt just have poor reading comprehension skills and don't even realize there's a new show. UGH!

UGH! I think posts like that are more about wanting Walsh to narrate episodes like he did on AMW instead of him inserting commentary every few minutes. |

I remember now and the person said "Is that on cable" when the poster told them about, so perhaps they meant putting JW back on regular tv. As far as the narration, sure people miss his narration but what people also loved about John Walsh was his honesty. Yeah, all the fugitives are technically innocent until proven guilty and I probably would have used a little more diplomacy if I was hosting (not that I have that big an ego to think that was ever possible  ) but even with that him calling guys scumbags was part of the fun of the show. He's now allowed to reflect and give his insights that people value rather than just seeing a nearly 70-year old man trying to ride a motorcycle in a leather jacket. If this was a 7-minute re-enactment on AMW, he might not have had time to call Shane Miller a "narcissistic, sociopathic, coward" which I thought was great. But people are still driving me nuts with the I want AMW back comments. We have a new frigging show already! It is practically the same type of show even if the style is drastically different! I tried to nicely explain on my Facebook page that "I miss AMW too and wish it can come back as well but let's concentrate on The Hunt". Of course, every post after that was STILL I miss AMW comments. Enough people, I miss AMW too, but I'm more interested in catching Shane Miller than bemoaning a show that although I grew up with isn't coming back any time in the near future. |

Also, what upsets me is all these people are complaining about AMW when The Hunt has the same mission. I've seen people say they won't watch it because it's not AMW. I stress I would NEVER wish this upon them but what happens if heaven forbid something happened in their family and they needed help? A show like The Hunt sure could help even though it's "not AMW." The stories shown on these shows can happen to anyone. Even I have had a family member involved in a crime story that made the news. People need to shut up about AMW and hope for the best that it returns and focus on supporting The Hunt. This isn't directed at you HM or anyone else here. It's just I'm in a really bad mood today about other things so I wanted to let out steam by venting about these AMW "fans." |

Someone just replied "We need AMW back" on John Walsh's Facebook page. Yeah, not like they just got a guy who molested a child and attempted to murder three law enforcement officers from the new show. *sigh* Someone also said they weren't aware of The Hunt and that CNN did a terrible job of promotion. The entire three weeks before The Hunt they were practically the John Walsh network in promoting the show. Now if they had said that about John Walsh Investigates on Lifetime... OK, I'll shut up about that. |

I didn't watch it, but I saw a video on YouTube called something to the effect of "John Walsh is a man-hater" because they did the show about Stoeser and Mozdir, both male child molesters.
Um...AMW has profiled female child molesters and rapists many times. Luz Diaz, Patricia Kelley, Patty Kenley, Martha Gomez and Teri Anderson are all the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Plus, who honestly cares what the gender of the person is? If they're accused of molesting a child, they deserve to be behind bars!

Ok I have a new comment to mention, from the page on who Charles Mozdir was. The poster said hunting wanted humans is turning the US into a uncivilized society. I'm like, ummm these are wanted fugitives charged with serious crimes whom society needs to go after, this is not like the whole NSA controversy, which is what I'm wondering if that sparked this comment in a way. www.cnn.com/2014/08/02/justice/charles-mozdir/index.html |

That reminds me. Someone sent me this comment the other day, to add more LOL's:
"John Walsh's new show on CNN (who owns HLN) just premiered and they caught someone already. Wonder why they didn't invite Nancy to host that show considering her track record of finding people and solving cases. Oh wait, she doesnt have one. Took John 2 days, meanwhile 10 years later Nancy is still looking to bust her case solving cherry."
Once again.... so true! If AMW ever comes back as well, they better not hire Nancy Grace!

Actually she's managed to solve a whopping single case in the past 10 years. |

I read a twitter comment where some guy asked "Why does The Hunt care about a drunk driver?" in regards to Ponce and "Plus they've already shot and killed two people without a trial."
Why does the Hunt care about a drunk driver? Perhaps because he KILLED SOMEBODY. And is still out there and could drunkenly harm someone again. I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy, but if Ponce drunk drove into that guy, maybe then he'd get the message about why The Hunt is going after him. (In addition to getting justice for William Angel).
Also, Charles Mozdir chose to shoot at the cops. He waived his right to a trial by doing that, allowing the case to be closed and us all to judge him without one. And yeah, Shane Miller killed himself likely over a year ago, you frigging moron.
It also annoys me people keep giving the Hunt credit for Shane Miller's discovered body. I love the show but just because they found someone doesn't mean it's a result of it if they don't specifically take credit! I'm sorry, not trying to discredit them and even capturing one guy is great. But I still want to make sure people don't think they're capturing more people than they really are, because even though in my opinion the show is big upgrade over AMW, my concerns over the limited amount of fugitives per show still stand even this late into the season. Although admittedly as I said before, part of the reason it's a better show is because it's more focused. So we have the catch-22 of better show but less capture odds problem still. (Sorry for going way off topic towards the end lol).

So I was looking up the #jointhehunt hashtag on twitter. I really hate giving this person attention since they don't deserve it some lady was complaining about the illegals were criminals just like the coyotes, bla bla bla.
Look, those 11 people were trying to enter the U.S. illegally. They might have went about it the wrong way but they were looking for better lives for themselves. What they went through- on that train, no food, no water, sweltering heat- is unimaginable. We ALL come from immigrants unless we're Native Americans. I still think you should come here legally but NO ONE deserved what those poor souls went through.
Now whatever what she says on her Twitter page is her opinion, as much as I may disagree with it. I wouldn't have called her out since I think people are entitled to their opinions- as callous and stupid as they may be. But what REALLY pissed me off is I saw the lady replying to everyone who used the "#jointhehunt" hashtag to talk about how the episode left them in tears. One person made a tweet about how they couldn't stop crying and this idiot actually had the nerve to reply "they were criminals just like the coyotes. No tears." She has the right to her opinion as stupid as it may be- but how dare she reply to people with kindhearted tweets with that hatred. It was effectively trolling.
I did notice one thing though that made me feel better about humanity- not one person replied or retweeted her own posts on Twitter- while a bunch of people reteweeted posts from the ones who were emotionally affected by the episode. She must have decided to troll other people's pages because she was upset her hatred wasn't getting any attention on her own.

The episode after next is the season and I stress "season" finale of The Hunt. How much do you want to bet a bunch of people will make "I can't believe they're cancelling it!" replies to John Walsh once he announces it on his Facebook thread? Granted the people who said that after AMW announced their "season" finale were actually right- but the October 12th, 2012 episode really was supposed to be the season and not series finale. I really hope The Hunt should it get renewed for a second season (and odds are they will be) announces their season 2 beginning date before the season finale as I'm already embracing for the stupid comments from posters who can't tell the difference between "series" finale and "season" finale.
