Well, the saying "No news is good news", can just as well be turned around to "good news is no news!"
Certainly seems like it, sometimes!

Four teenagers have admitted to the plastic wrap incident - no confirmation at this stage, but the DA's office are likely to charge them with 'Delinquent Behaviour'

[Bob]

The four teenagers who injured two people on a motorcycle when they stretched several layers of plastic wrap across a road in the middle of the night have been placed on one year of supervision.

The boys, one 14 and three 16, also were ordered to spend four days in detention and to perform 60 hours of community service by a judge who told them how their stunt had far exceeded a prank.

"Prank is defined as a mischievous trick or practical joke," Waukesha County Circuit Judge Ralph Ramirez told one of the 16-year-olds, who was the first to learn of his punishment. "That may have been your intent, but that was not the result. Death could have, might have been the result."

Ramirez said the incident was the equivalent of two felony counts of recklessly endangering safety, meaning they will never be able to legally own firearms.

Thank God for that.

I'm so sick of all the sensasionalism in the media I've given up watching the news, apart from yours Bob.

You would have to fit razor blades to your ape hangers to defend against plastic wrap, or even better katana's attached to your handle bars

I do not mind reports that have some significance to the biker community at large. There is however a fine line between reporting how offences can be commited and reporting the offence itself. I personaly see nothing newsworthy in reporting that plastic wrap was used in bringing a biker down. This infomation is only of use to copycats and to the detriment of the biker community as a whole. There is a plethora of information on the net and while there is only a fring element who actually carry out these 'pranks' the less information they recieve from the media the better.

I'll agree there is a fine line - can I refer you to post No.12 on this thread please.

I'd also be interested to hear what you consider to be "reports that have some significance to the biker community at large".

I don’t like the media at all. I think it has too much power for its own good. Reporters should not be allowed in war situations reporting on what they "see". Obviously they don’t understand the reasons for what happens and just stir shit back home. I remember watching the news on the war in Iraq once; it was going on about some birds covered in oil.

Personally I find your reports interesting and not sensationalising the issue, keep up the good work Bob.
