I was looking through motorcycle.com and found this story about 3 people setting up a trap for dirtbikers.

Looks like we're hated by everyone from the SUV driver to the tree-huggers.:|

I'm curious as to WHY they did it. From what the article said, there was no conflict, they had never asked them to stop riding there. I hate people.

some sissy judge will determine that the individuals that did this were improperly potty trained and should only recieve 8 hours of community service.

Probably. Seems like the opposite of justice always ends up happening. The judge will probably have had a bad experience with bikers or something, and will sympathize will the assaulters.

I can honestly say, that if that happened to a friend, and i saw the [edit: for severe profanity] pull the rope, I'd be in jail too. See how they like almost 500 pounds [edit: take it easy with the language please]

Where did it say they were eco-terrorists?

Sounds like they were just "O Ring" neighbors to me.
A dog had his chain reduced one link at a time, every few days, until his chain was so short he could barely move. He never resisted because he was conditioned to the loss of his freedom slowly, over time. Are we in this country becoming like the dog?

I feel sick.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
