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.

This is dishonest reporting. They fail to mention that the bikers were riding on an illegal trail. Why can't mountain bikers EVER tell the truth?!

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 pissing 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
fucking trails and leave the hiking trails to hikers. Thus spake
Zarathustra!

So, we have a religious fanatic that wants to blow people up.
Just what the world needs more of.

Regarding the OP, just think about what a psychiatrist is:
First, you study biological sciences and math & physics. All hard sciences.
Then you get accepted to med school and study more science and anatomy and
medicine.
Then if you go into a psychiatric specialty for two to four years, you take
all of your collected knowledge and throw it out the window and join the
cult of Freudian psychiatry, which has ZERO basis in science and no studies
to back it up. It is a belief system and a cult.
I live next door to a psychiatrist who goes out to his garage every night
and smokes weed until the whole neighborhood can smell it. Then in the
morning, he goes out and inflicts his cultish belief systems on people in a
personal crisis.
Neat, eh?

to all of those who ride their bikes on hiking trails!

I agree with you about Freudian psychologists. There is very little science
to back up any of that very fanciful theory. Most crazy people these days
are treated with pharmaceuticals. Very few if any psychiatrists put any
faith in Freud and psychoanalysis. However, mountain bikers need to be
clubbed over their fat stupid heads just to get their attention. One thing
mountain bikers are never capable of is level headed reasoning.

Neat,

Freudian psychologists are seldom situated with any authority in the
community of health services. They have been relegated to a cult. Only rich
morons like Woody Allen would ever avail themselves of their “services”.

HOWEVER, mountain bikers who ride their bikes on hiking trails can easily
drive any sane person insane. All hikers should go on their walks with a
concealed firearm in order to deal with aggressive criminal mountain biker
types. You never know when you may have to plug one in order to save your
own life. I have in the past recommended that hikers carry a bazooka in
their back packs as it has nice intimidating value even if not practical.

In the future, a walk in the woods will mean that you have to go fully armed
as a soldier into battle. No quarter will be given and no quarter will be
asked. Hikers vs.mountain bikers ... it will be a struggle to the death!

So, given that the trails were BIKE trails what should the mountainbikers do to the hikers Ed ?

Should I be equipping my steed with anti-personnel rockets too ?

Or, perhaps, we should agree to allow others to enjoy their own hobbies unmolested ? There's a radical solution eh ?

Provide one piece of evidence to that effect Mike. Despite your abysmal record on truth, I'm prepared to give you yet another go to PROVE your point.

There is nothing in the news reports to suggest that these were illegal trails.

I DID Mike ... and all the research I could find said "Bike" trails. I posted the results here. It didn't say "Illegal Bike trails".

Do your own if you want to backup your position ... or admit you were wrong.

You didn't research in the right places. As usual. Because you only want information that supports your twisted views.

Mike Vandeman said "They fail to mention that the bikers were riding on an illegal trail."

... when the evidence showed that the riders were on legitimate bike trails.

So he lied.

Mike Vandeman said "As to the beautiful scenery, only hikers & equestrians are able to enjoy it. Mountain bikers are doing nothing but looking at the trail directly in front of them, & have no time to "enjoy scenery""
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.mountain-bike/shnDNWmH32w/kmnAMUpPfR4J

But in another thread Mike Vandeman said ... "It sounds logical that they would be satisfied, building their own mountain biking "park". But it's not true, for two reasons: (1) most of them enjoy being in nature. It's a MAJOR component of the sport. Especially, exploring NEW territory."
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.bicycles.soc/nWmSWXCGgg8/OY4WC2elZ0AJ

So he lied.

You are a proven liar. QED.

Reread the thread ... I already posted it. Good god ... have you got memory loss now too ??

You're the one who has posted NOTHING to try and justify your position ... which leads me to believe that you're lying ... again.

Many psychiatrists are homosexuals and child molesters. The APA
(Anal Probers Anonymous aka American Psychiatric Association),
fought to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1973.
But only after homosexuals invaded it like they did the
Catholic Church.

They may have succeeded, but they couldn't change the facts.

Fact 1) All homosexuals are child molesters, just ask Frank
Lombard.

Fact 2) Any man who takes another man's penis in his mouth is a

Fact 3) Any man who takes another man's penis in his mouth that
was just removed from his anus is a REAL SICK SOB.

I don't recall. Do your own homework. It's of course well known that mountain bikers have always been an outlaw culture, and are always riding illegally, building illegal trails, and committing hit-and-run "accidents". If you deny it, you are a liar (= a mountain biker).

So you lost the argument ... again.

You stated that the trails were illegal, I posted the evidence that shows that they were not and, now, you're not man enough to admit that you have nothing and were wrong. Your ridiculous ... "do your own homework" is just pathetic ... when others HAVE bothered to go and get some information and you've done what ? Nothing !

Still, what else would one expect of a convicted criminal and proven liar ?
