August 27 2023 Black Rock Desert, NEVADA -

"30 seconds, send your leader to my vehicle, let's talk, get off the fucken road" - Tribal Ranger announced on the highway leading to #BurningMan festival where climate activists blocked the road. About 37 seconds later a ranger RAMMED through blockade, made arrest at gun point.

Climate activists from XR and “7 Seven Circles” shut down highway leading to the Burning Man Festival, withing the tribal lands.

Attendees quickly became irate, confronting the group blockading the road and physically attempting to remove the blockade. Some attendees sped thru close by the chained activists.

Rangers rushed in to the group, ramming through the blockade and rushing out with gun pointed to arrest protesters. Several arrests were made during the incident, including the legal observer as activists blocked traffic into Burning Man festival on the event’s first day open to the general public.

The group blocked a main thoroughfare using a trailer, lock-ons, and banners with the words “BURNERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!”, “ABOLISH CAPITALISM”, and “GENERAL STRIKE FOR CLIMATE”.

Group says the blockade’s purpose is to draw attention to capitalism’s inability to address climate and ecological breakdown along with protesting against the popularization of Burning Man among affluent people who do not live the stated values of Burning Man, resulting in the commodification of the event.

Hey libtards, you aren't in Portland or Frisco anymore. These rangers aren't going to stand around and watch you commit a crime.

These Marxist aren’t even keeping secret their goal to destroy Capitalism. They have given their souls to an evil pathway to hell.

I read today that those rangers are already under
investigation.

I agree with what they did. I just don’t think they kicked
as much ass as I would have liked.

Black Rock City 2023
August 27 – September 04, 2023
Once a year, tens of thousands of people gather in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. In this crucible of creativity, all are welcome.

We are excited to build Black Rock City with you again in 2023! Learn about our theme for the year, Burning Man 2023: ANIMALIA. If you’re new to Black Rock City, please see our most recent Survival Guide. Looking for a way to volunteer and plug in? Fill out our Volunteer Questionnaire.

Subscribe to the Jackrabbit Speaks and the Burning Man Journal to stay in the know about all things BRC-planning and more — including ticketing information, efforts to make BRC 2023 and beyond more sustainable, diverse and inclusive, and how we intend to keep our community safe as we gather together in the summer of 2023.

And if you want to track every day, hour, minute, and second until the Man burns… we’ve got you covered.

See you in the dust!

Burning Man is not a festival! It’s a city wherein almost everything that happens is created entirely by its citizens, who are active participants in the experience.

They probably don’t want to get thrown in jail for “violating the rights” of a protester.

amazing BBC would even carry this (MSM worldwide is ignoring it).

49m15s to end - the current state of eco-terrorism in France. multiple examples involving attacking farms.
at one point, Franks refers to them as eco-warriors, in true BBC “climate” fashion. listen to end when mention is made of 180 new eco-terror groups formed:

The cop pulling the gun on them was a bit over the top. Wreck their barricade and arrest them. Just idiots.

“The cop pulling the gun on them was a bit over the top. Wreck their barricade and arrest them. Just idiots.”

Normally I’d agree, but the idiots were blocking egress to humans in a desert environment. that’s felony stuff and I hope the tribal prosecutor can make a case for that... not sure if tribal law has jurisdiction... put the protestors under the jail.
