ALBUQUERQUE -- Right in the middle of todays deadly carjacker pursuit, the Bernalillo County Sheriffs Department arrested two members of Albuquerques famous Unser racing family. Both Al Unser Sr. and Bobby Unser Sr. were booked into the Metro Detention Center this afternoon charged with failure to obey a police officer and resisting arrest.
Both walked out of the jail about 3:30 p.m.
The brothers, who have a combined seven checkered flags at the Indianapolis 500 and are huge names in the racing world, apparently thought their celebrity status meant they were above the law.
The police pursuit of a stolen car, complete with reported shotgun fire aimed at pursuing officers, ended about 11 a.m. when the suspect crashed into another car and then accidentally or deliberately shot himself to death with the sawed-off shotgun. That dramatic conclusion happened at an intersection close to some Unser family property.
While the incident was still unfolding, Bernalillo County sheriff's investigators allege Al Unser started going through a roadblock in an attempt to get to his property. Despite six or seven warnings to leave the area, he still refused to leave, saying it was his property--he owned it.
When the deputy told him he would be arrested, Unser allegedly said, You can't take me to jail, and began cussing at the officer.
Officers report he then jerked away and said, Don't you know who I am? I'm Al Unser.
A short time after he was arrested, Bobby Unser showed up. Deputies said he, too, refused to leave and resisted arrest.
Both were transported to holding cells at the Valley substation before being taken to jail.
They simply told them numerous times to leave the area, and they simply refused to do so, Erin Kinnard of the Bernalillo County Sheriffs Department said. Were not talking about a situation where we're trying to catch a shoplifter.
This was a serious and dangerous situation.
KRQE News 13 was told Al Unser threatened the arresting officer, telling him he would get back at him some day.
People on the scene also said the deputies didnt recognize Al Unser and didnt care who he was, they just wanted the men to leave since shots were being fired in the area.
Contacted later, Al Unser Jr. declined a request for an interview. KRQE News 13 was unable to reach Bobby Unser.
She and annieokey both went ballistic one night, questioning what Jim did with the FR money.
I am perfectly capable of reading people's posts and deciding by myself.
It's not like this is the first time he's done that.
And what are you?
Still got your lists of who you and the harpies are gonna get banned?
Go through your's and the Harpies posting and count the negative postings to other FReepers versus your positive contribututions to anyone other than each other and get back to me. Almost all you do is scorch and burn.
I've been back posting for one week and until Stinkie's stink, I avoided the usual litany of spew from yer gang.
You are a loud FR obsessed hypocrite and deserve the net wide scorn you recieve.
You don't own this place....not that I know of anyhow.
Although you sure like to give that impression
A skirmish like this cannot end well. Everyone here ought to cool down and step away. All at once.
I never did question your reading abilities. I am pointing out that you are wrong to call wardaddy a troll. He's been here for years. He WAS a active freepers, I know I've talked with him many times and we've even debated publicly and disgreed. You just don't like him. That's fine. I won't allow you to get away with calling him a troll though. It's just not true.
Thanks for that info, my curiosity is satisfied. All I remembered about her was that she and my grand daugter were friends (here at FR) G/D has also wondered what happened that got her banned, I'll relay that info to her.
That's a bunch of BS; anybody who tried to come on those threads and even ADD a comment or DISCUSS an article that didn't tow the line with what you all thought got labeled an open border lover.
And you know that's true. It still goes on to this very day.
Well okay. Maybe there's something better to do at midnight...wink wink ;o)
Sure. People say that everyday here, and don't get booted.
You know very well he was, at the very least, favorable to the idea. What I couldn't believe was that he was saying what he said to Jim.
As for the rest of your handwringing post, remember that I didn't have anything to do with Travis McGee's departure. I never posted to him, and he certainly had no occasion to post to me.
And your silly macho reference at the end, made up out of whole cloth, reflects very poorly on you, wardaddy. Might I suggest a little rest?
That ridiculous statement just shows the shallowness of your arguments and the vacuous things you're willing to say to try to "win" an argument.
If I could get people banned, your name would have been high on the list and you'd have been gone long ago.
You are a loud FR obsessed hypocrite and deserve the net wide scorn you recieve.
If you think anybody with any sense gives one rat's A$$ what you and a bunch of losers think about them, you've lost touch with reality.
I'm no longer actively "in the fray" but am continuing to read replies.
The best to you, haven't seen you around in as long as I haven's seen cyborg!
You won't ALLOW me to state what I think is the truth?
Good to know.
Uh . . . .
Hmmmmmm . . . .
[Petronski smiles lasciviously...]
Just like TM, I have often speculated, and with good cause, that the long-running conflict between those who hate this country and those who believe that it is still a force for good in this world will inevitably run hot.
Just a couple of thoughts:
1. Liberals and thier ilk are sore losers. Especially since 2000.
2. If liberal Democrat/fascists achieve the absolute power that seek, democide is just around the corner. History makes my case.
3. But it won't be a walk-over. That's because now, there are too many of us who do understand the lessons of history. And we have the skill, the training and the means to do something about it.
4. The actions of one individual can and have altered the course of history.
No one in their right mind wants war. But no one in their right mind will lie down and simply let events overtake them and their loved ones. That approach didn't work too well in the old Weimar Republic. It won't work now, either.
Maybe I can hijack the thread!
Would mortises formed with a plunge cut on a router table be worth the effort (with the subsequent manual squaring using a chisel), or is the drill-press-and-mortising-bit the best way to go?
You sound like that cop who got the Unser's! :)
I believe she said she won't allow you "to get away with it..." That is, not without expressing her countervailing view.
Nothing to see here. Everybody move along.
Go back to your homes (and/or rectories).
As I always say, I'm one of the most misunderstood freepers. Now you do have work in the morning sweetie :-)
Jus' keepin' it real.
