Nevada Climate Change Protesters DENIED

*Cowabung-Gal* · 08-29-2023, 12:22 AM

“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.”

You have the right to protest but not to block the road. If you block the road then you’re not a protester; you’re just a nuisance. Simple as that.

****. I know a few buddies that wanted to see Burning Man. Hope this didn't endanger them in any way.

More like "retards for becoming embellishment of the road".

Lmao it’s like those idiots that went to Ottawa with their stupid convoy. You can protest all ya want but again when you’re blocking access to businesses and private property and even peoples’ homes, then ya you’re a nuisance and should be Locked up period

Protesting is fine, but if you feel the need to become road pizza, then just say that.

I wonder how many times people doing this prevent someone from getting emergency services.

Yeah, that's not okay. I'm all for the right to assembly, but doing it this way garners you no sympathy for your cause and just makes you a danger to yourself and others.

We had similar a few months back with people trying to block the M25, the main orbital motorway around London. Didn't go well in the end...
