MEDFORD, Ore. – A psychiatrist has pleaded guilty and been sentenced to
30 days in jail for planting booby traps that injured Oregon mountain
bikers on national forest trails outside Ashland.

Dr. Jackson Dempsey apologized to the mountain bikers, his family and the
medical community Wednesday in Jackson County Circuit Court in Medford.

But he did not explain what led him to string nylon cords across the
trails, and put nails and small trees in the path.

Besides the 30 days in jail, Judge Lorenzo Mejia ordered Dempsey to stay
away from national forest trails for the two years he is on probation.

Three people suffered minor injuries running into the trees and cords.

Dempsey was a psychiatrist for Jackson County when he was arrested last
July. He no longer has that job.

No, he's been downgraded to "patient".

Anyone with any brains knows why he booby trapped the trails. Ideally, I
would like to mine the trails so as to blow mountain bikers to kingdom come,
but alas this would also effect hikers, a perfectly innocent lot as pure as
the driven snow. Mountain bikers who ride their bikes on hiking trails ought
to be rounded up and horsewhipped. I would also draw and quarter them for
good measure. As a final farewell to this most miserable group of miscreants
ever to visit the earth, I would delight in ****ing on their graves.

Allowing mountain biking and hiking on the same trails is an incompatible
use. The real villains in this scenario are the nincompoop authorities who
permit this incompatible use. Let the god damn mountain bikers get their own
****ing trails and leave the hiking trails to hikers. Thus spake
Zarathustra!
