San Fransisco, CA (AHN) - Three people are facing jail time after they put up a rope across a street to knock motorcycle riders off their vehicle; in an apparent move to keep the noise level down in their neighborhood.

According to defense attorney Dennis Lempert, "Apparently the rope was supposed to slow people down."

Now, Edward Anderson, 48, his girlfriend, Donna Olsen, 46, and neighbor Donald Bryant, 62, face up to eight years in prison, charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon for the attack on their neighbor and another biker in his group.

According to neighbor, Robert Barnes, the rope caught him across the upper lip, hurling him 30 feet from his motorcycle and leaving him with 500 stitches, missing teeth and titanium plates in his head.

Barnes believes, "I don't think it was about me."

"I think it was about dirt bikes in general. It could have been anyone. It could have been [Edward Anderson's] kid. He rides dirt bikes."

How can we turn this thread X-Rated? We have a rope and a gasoline powered engine device that you ride to work with??

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Noise versus permanantly disabling or murdering someone.

They got lucky. Real lucky.

No kidding, Brook. So it's a little noise - it passes. Some people just feel so entitled that they go and do without thinking about the consequences. Very sad.

I just can't believe some people. A rope? That's awful... I'm not surprised they were charged with that. I can't believe anybody would think that putting a rope across the street would be a good idea.
