WTF!?! Un-freakin-believable

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.
Several other blogs have picked up the story and more details can be found at at the following links:

Which is why I nominated Jeremy Clarkson at the MBI Awards as the Thumbs Down winner for suggesting it….
I just find it hard to believe that 3 adults would actually do this.
