Man claims he is "his own country"

A man accused of drunk driving said he can't be fined by the court because he is his own country! He said ""I live inside myself, not in Pennsylvania."

Aren't people crazy these days??

I found this interesting...What do you guys think about this?

He's his own president... maybe he was trying to claim diplomatic immunity?

If you think about it, he is 'his own country' inside another country.  It's crazy for what people will do for attention!

what do you have to do to legally start you own country? can you start it with just 1 person (yourself)?

I think if you own the island nation, it's yours and you can do whatever you want.  There's some question about whether other nations would diplomatically recognize you and such, though....you're probably not going to be asked to join the UN Security Council anytime soon....

"It's interesting. Es interesante." Deporting him would be such a great joke! I want to see his reaction when he hears the "charges" of not legally being in the United States while he's sober! Ha ha ha!!!
