Indy 500 Winner Bobby Unser vs. the U.S. Government

Three-time winner of the Indianapolis 500 race—and survivor of sub-zero blizzard conditions—racing legend Bobby Unser faced down every challenge... until he encountered the United States government. When the U.S. Forest Service brought bogus criminal charges against him, Bobby Unser appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court. A shocking true story from The Heritage Foundation and Overcriminalized.com.

Unbelievable. Guilty until proven innocent = is as anti-american as it gets.

@giwannabe13 "Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. ... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. ...." Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

@freesk8 I'm actually using that quote in my debate case that proposes a solution to these laws :)

Dear TruTV:

I know that you are going to bring back "Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura" sometime in 2012. If so, could you include Bobby Unser's arrest for illegal parking of a snowmobile in a wilderness area. TruTV fans would love it!

Bobby Unser is a fucking bad ass, period.
