I honestly can't even imagine what kind of scumbag would take the time and effort to deliberately try to put people in harm's way by doing something like this.

Probably about the same level of scumbag that we dealt with last summer, who wasn't apprehended until the spring:

The criminal complaint alleges one man found three of the cords hung on the walking bridge over the Cannon Ball Path and Capital City Trail. The man fell off his bike after the first cord hit him in the neck.

27 News previously spoke to the biker, who had little time to react when he noticed the cord during his pre-dawn ride.

Madison police officers found the fourth cord. The complaint states an officer didn't see a cord when he checked around 1 a.m., but one was there when he returned around 4 a.m.

Just ridiculous all around.
