Have you noticed - and I’m sure you have - that the lefties are happy to have the police rack up massive hours and overtime to patrol their events and protests?
Isn’t Burning Man about lawlessness in terms of absolute freedom, even if it’s a temporary illusion?
Who is approving these massive police expenditures at events where the police aren’t even welcome?
Actually BM reimburses much - not all - of the costs. Unlike many other lib events.

Old article but I understand the practice still goes on. Pershing County where the event actually occurs has had some disputes with BM. Pershing County is a county in the U.S. state of Nevada. As of the 2010 census, the population was 6,753 including OJ Simpson. So 70,000 burners is a very large increase of the population - to put it mildly.
