Los Gatos trio arrested in assault on dirt biker

Three Los Gatos residents have been arrested after they allegedly strung a rope across a road and pulled it taut when a dirt biker approached, causing the rider to be thrown off his motorcycle and sustain serious injuries, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.

But wait, there’s more:

The first rider was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, where he remained in a coma for five days.

He suffered severe bone damage and tissue loss and required more than 500 stitches and titanium plates inserted in his face.

I don’t what to say… I’m stunned speechless by the criminal stupidity; especially given the ages of the perpetrators.
