Blake G Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 RCMP are warning Cornwall-area snowmobilers to be careful after coming across a booby trapped snowmobile trail. The Cornwall Regional Task Force says one of their officers was on a trail near Bainsville when he was nearly clotheslined by a rope strung across the trail. It happened recently near the Wood’s Creek Bridge. http://www.thecornwalldaily.com/2014/03/03/booby-trapped-snowmobile-trail-rcmp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Burgo Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 People still actually do this? Go figure the officer was the first to encounter it. Unbelieveable that people can actually hate on sledders that much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I've read in mountain bike magazines where people that don't want cyclists on the trails string fishing line across trails. Some unhinged folks out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 If they ever catch them they should have life in prison. Obviously that can kill someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuyuna Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 If they ever catch them they should have life in prison. Obviously that can kill someone. Attempted murder, pure and simple. A person who does this has to be ignorant of the fatal outcome as a result. The only thing scarier is the truly evil bastard that fully understands what he is doing!

dweese Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Read any of the other stories linked at the bottom of that page? Feb 26, 2014.... "Cornwall’s contraband fighting agency says it’s seeing a marked increase of smuggling by snowmobile. The Cornwall Regional Task Force released its monthly enforcement numbers today. In one case on February 5th, officers intercepted four snowmobilers on a trail near Bainsville. When CRTF officers moved in the sledders, each pulling a toboggan full of alleged contraband took off. But one couldn’t get his machine going and jumped on a friend’s toboggan to make a getaway. The smugglers later abandoned their haul — 1,646 kilograms of fine cut tobacco. Police seize it as well as the toboggan and the broken-down sled." The local natives are using sleds to move products for thier smokes around. I bet it was the natives who put the rope up to slow the RCMP down should they be chased.... Smokes are a muilt-million dollar business for the natives in Cornwall. So it wouldn't suprise me if the natives did this. They actually bombed the Canada Customs building (which use to be on native land) back in the 90's, over a dispute that interfered with they movement of smokes. My wife is from Cornwall, and her family still lives there, so I'm there a lot. This task force has boats with 50 cals mounted on them, that patrol the water around Cornwall and the island in the summer, because of the native smuggling activities.

02Sled Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 What annoys me is when they whine that their great great grandparents got a bad deal 150 years ago and that the government owes them millions. Then the government caves and pays it. My grandfather had 3 houses in Toronto prior to the depression. The city took two of them for back taxes while he struggled to keep the one the family lived in. He lost a lot of money by the standards of the time. Had those two houses remained in the family today they would have been worth close to $1.6M. I want compensation from the city of Toronto for the raw deal my grandfather got. Apart from that what a shameful way to treat a verteran who lost his two brothers in the war. Wonder how far I would get with that or how much success I would have blocking up a rail line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
