Illegal Party of 5,000 Off-Roaders Leads to Absolute Chaos in Arizona National Forest

Even without a pandemic going on, having a 5,000-person outdoor bash in a national forest is a bad idea. However, that didn't stop Arizona partygoers in their ATVs and 4x4s over the weekend, as FOX10 reports. The Tonto National Forest was flooded with LED light bars, winches, and loud music as the equivalent of an off-road rave took over the protected land.

Forest Service authorities say any gathering over 75 people requires a permit—as you probably guessed, it seems like no permit was obtained this time around.

Making matters worse and more frustrating for authorities, there were only about 20 Forest Protection Officers present to break up the massive scene. Violations included double-riding, DUIs, reckless driving, and other offenses, but the crowd of people didn't leave in a hurry.

The next day, the group went back and cleaned up their trash....

Government agency spokespersons use a different number system. Not the usual decimal, binary, octal, hex...
Double secret crypto, the base of the system is undefined.

Used for determining the street value of drugs and your possible tax refund.

In my case, it appears the biden checks use a base of the square-root of negative 1.

I was referring to the recent Miami riots, where the hooligans were called “spring breakers” by the press, as if they were the normal crowd that comes to South Beach for spring break.

They weren’t. First of all, I doubt that a single one of them had ever been anywhere near a college, and secondly, even the police chief said the people doing the shootings, assaults and vandalism were adults. The ones they arrested were in their 30s.

I was contrasting this group and the off-roaders, who may have gotten a little crazy but came back and cleaned up and didn’t shoot anybody.
