The big donors do the most funding—and they are predominantly men.
Then they need to surrender everything they own that's made from oil or using oil in the manufacture or delivery of the product.
Stalinists vs Trotskyites.
The Tribal Police take no crap from anyone.
Find the 16 minute + video that shows what happened. IT is AMAZING that the BM crowd didn’t just take them out before they called the cops.
Traffic to BM was backed up over 10 miles.
I do NOT care for Burning Man at all-—Nothing sensible about it...
But it is allowed & permitted.
These fools were lucky Tribal Police didn’t just shoot them.
Chained themselves to trailer across the highway —sitting on hot pavement-—Hope they have some burns on their backsides.
