    Runners beware! (Caltrops in Australia)

    What in the hells is wrong with people?



    Police in Australia are urging the public to stay alert after a runner found homemade spikes methodically hidden on a popular running trail Monday.
    The man was on Alexanders Trail in Lake Macquarie, a city in New South Wales, when he noticed a pile of leaves in the middle of the track.

    He found wine corks with nails protruding from them, police said in a statement posted to Facebook. They resembled caltrops, illegal weapons that have at least two sharp points sticking out of a base.He continued along the trail and found another pile of leaves with more spikes hidden. Further along, he found another.

    Police are investigating.

    Having recently lost four toes and had my foot skinned down to the bones because I stepped on something, this one sets me off.
    With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.

    Is the sun really deadlier than Australia though?
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Sending them into Jupiter would be just as effective and would only require about half as much energy.

    If that's all your worried about then they only need enough energy to just get to the point when you will burn up during reentry.

    230 years ago someone had the same idea, but instead of the sun it was Australia xP

    This is why I’m sometimes okay with eye for an eye punishment. Make the fucker that planted those run over them barefoot. See how he likes it.

    We already made Australia. Do we really want to make Ultra Australia?

    We've had people put up lines (fishing line, fishing net line, very thin chains, barbed wire) across much used roads and snowmobile trails here in Sweden.

    What's wrong with people? In short: Everything. Think of the vilest, cruelest thing, and I bet a human did it to another human at some point.

    Considering it was 4 toes and skinned down to the bone, sounds like something that tore the part underneath the foot and when it came to the toes they got ripped of or severely broken to the point of amputation.

    Still curious what exactly would cause such.

    While the news are truly fucked up.... I'm more interested in what that "something" was that caused you to lose FOUR toes?! A bear trap?

    Not to mention it would be too cruel for our women, if we sent our fucked up maniacs to Jupiter.

    Venus. Even less. That's also a great place to ship climate change deniers.
