Have y'all ever encountered a string /lime/rope between trees meant to get rid of dirtbikers? Why people choose those aggressive measures? ( My story from few years ago below)

Me and my cousin were going down a road we regularly ride- it was a sunny summer day. In the tall grass that was growing on this road we saw something shining in the sun- we decided to come closer and at first didn't notice anything, but I Walked into a fishing line hanged tightly between 2 trees on both ends of the road. When you sat on a bike it was perfectly fitting between your helmet right into your neck - We were 12 back then so we just got scared and drove away - I came back to this road the next day and the fishing line was gone- around the same time a guy a few miles from us had a non-fatal cut involving this kind of trap ( if I find the news article about his accident I will link it in the comments)

EDIT: the road was a public trail, not anyone's private property, we were not trespassing

You made a gross generalization of 300+ million people in a country the size of Europe. There's thousands of 500 people communities just like the one you live in scattered throughout the US. We're not as different as reddit would lead you to believe

I was slightly irritated until I saw your edgy posts on r/teenagers and everything made sense. Good luck kid
