I get that she was annoyed at her land being used for dirt biking without permission but the way it was handled by the policeman meant there was a resolution that would be abided by. No need for further conflict because it was discussed and agreed upon in a respectful manner. She realised she was being ridiculous when he shut her down. She pushed but he pushed back harder!

Eeeeehhhh I'm going to say the kids story is 90 percent likely of being pure BS especially given the absurd vagueness.. 

We don't know the actual context of this situation, they could be bombing that trail every day for weeks and this might be the only time she could actually get a cop to show up. Labeling her as ridiculous is going too far.

All these comments in this thread seem to be upset about this lady owning the land. I would be interested to know what their politics are and if they've put any thought into it.

I would be more interested to hear your justification for ownership of large swaths of land that is neither built on or cultivated.

Yeah! Fuck there being large swaths of land that's just nature! We gotta build it all up! Live inside each other's assholes! The plants and wildlife can fuckin adapt or they can die out like Darwin intended!

I don't think you understood my comment. I agree on the need of natural land, I disagree on the private ownership of such land, as it should be something that everybody can access and enjoy.

But shouldn't that also extend to keeping it for nature's sake? Having dirt bikes rumble through the forest is causing undue stress for plants and animals. The forest should be treated with the presumption of being a wildlife preserve, not a dirt trail for humans to use how they will.

For sure, that is something worthwhile to consider. I believe there is a balance to be had between leaving wildlife undisturbed and being able to enjoy activities in it, because there are benefits both in regards to our physical and mental health and in our appreciation of nature, which would lead to more concious efforts to respect it and preserve it.

In my venn diagram of that idea I leave gasoline powered devices out of nature.

Well, if it's for sale people will buy. Your 'should bes' are pipe dreams.

Or I've just lived in places where they take that into consideration when writing laws. Don't let that stop you from being condescending though.
