Default WTF is wrong with people? Warning for Dayton Ohio riders!

I'm robbing this from one of our local forums but it's something I think everyone should be aware of, especially if you're in this area.

Anyone who has shrink wraped a pallet knows what im talking about looks like plastic wrap but way stonger. Needless to say the stuff was damn near invisible in the dark and he didnt see it till the last minute. It was right at head level and knocked him and his bike down. Lucky for him he was only doing about 20mph he got minimal road rash and the bike is fine also. So be verycarefull when traveling at night especially in that area. I believe MCSO took the call but if anyone has any information he would like to know before you call the SO. Thanks ride safe.
This is such bull$hit! WTF is wrong with people these days? I realize almost none of you live even remotely close to this area, but it's something else to look out for when you're out on the roads.

There was a group of tree huggers in northern Minnesota that use to tie string from tree to tree on the snowmobile trails. Acourse something like that is going to hurt and kill somebody, and it did.

Between the activists, granola bar eaters, and tree huggers they have made this a more dangerous world than it already is. To me it rates right up there with terrorism.

We had someone drop a tree across the road near here back in 2000.

Killed a guy just riding down the road minding his own business.

It was called a "prank"

Watch the video. Call the cops if you have info, it is still unsolved.

Squishy I grew up in the ridge, you need to question your buddy some more. The Sherrif department is not the juristiction, it is Riverside PD on Forest Ridge Blvd and some parts are city of Dayton. Forest Ridge Blvd is a true Blvd and I don't see how any one could string plastic wrap accross it. Not saying it didn't happen but I do have some questions, and it also seems like the news would have picked up on this.
