Be alert? How the heck are you supposed to “be alert” to a wire that can’t be seen while riding a bike?

The punishment for these type of crimes need to be so severe that no one will risk even trying it.

God has given him second life otherwise no one would have survived after being roded into the wire. His story would be a lesson for others and they would be alert in the future.

Local to me, a couple of grown men have been arrested after stretching a rope across “their” public road and nearly killing a motorcyclist (one of their neighbors) when they pulled the rope as he passed by.

And my friends tell me that people are “basically good.”

This makes me shudder. I’ve been afraid of this type of thing ever since I first saw an ELF handout describing how to set these, as well as other traps on trails.
