Bike Hunting

iglagol

Police have busted a bike hunter.

Police of California have busted a man who was digging elephant trap-holes at bike ways. The local massmedia comments on the fact by saying he was about to revenge on bicycle riders due to one of them having hit him.
Since June 2007 Warren John Wilson, 52, has dug about 50 traps, dimensioned 30X60 cm in Laguna Lake Park. Some of them were covered for the riders not to notice them. The police is aware of bikers running into the holes more than once and luckily no injuries.
During interrogation Wilson acknowledged everything he's done, and explained that he put revenge after a mountain biker had been about to get him killed.

I wonder if his name is Mike Vandeman.

This world is seriously screwed up.

That right there is the sort of thing that tempts me to carry a weapon when I ride, because there are many others creeps out there. The problem is in Wisconsin it is illegal to conceal a weapon...what should I do? If I am carrying a weapon isn't that sort of adding to the problem by not complying with local laws?

Without gettin into another long thread on this, but how would carrying a weapon protect you from a loon who dug holes in cyclepaths? So you can shoot in the air with a broken collarbone?

Sorry, maybe as a European bleeding heart liberal I just do not get it.

No, you get it. A lot of people over here don't get it, though.
