Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Okay, so I'll confess to finding a bit of pleasure in this. The protesters were seen holding signs with messages including "Ban Private Jets" and "Abolish Capitilasim." They stood in the road with those signs in front off their barricade, blocking people from driving to the festival with a miles-long back-up of vehicles. Mind you, I couldn't give a hang less about Burning Man... but when the lefty enviro-wackos decided to block the road in, local Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Police officers / Rangers decided they'd had enough: Quote In the viral video of the incident, a police truck can be seen crashing through the blockade as police jump out of the vehicle to arrest the climate activists — who appear stunned at the forceful response to their antics. “We have no weapons at all!” wailed one female protester as she held her hands up. “We’re environmental protesters!” The activism group “Climate Defiance” shared the video to X, formerly known as Twitter. While their caption showed that they expected support, their comments section was filled with support for the officers. None of them lived in the area where they were protesting. Two had traveled from New York, one from California, one from Washington and one from the country of Malta. 7 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Best law enforcement video of the day!!!!!! Hope none of the Rangers get in any kind of trouble for what they did.

sassnetguy50 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 That is how all police should handle traffic blocking protests. There are laws about what you can do on your private property because "what if first responders" what about first responders being stopped because of blocked traffic? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I think the 'environmentalists' generally extol our indigenous brethren for their stewardship of their traditional lands. That's going to cause them a little trouble complaining about the tribal police on their own territory! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Bet the protesters were thinking they could get by with it. I'd like to know what charges and punishment they got. De-port them to some third world country and let them pick through the garbage bump for their food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Screw ‘em! I am pretty sure that impeding someone from going to where they want to go is a crime in most states. Granted this is on a Reservation. Perhaps they have similar laws. I do believe these morons should get what they probably never got as children. I nice a** whipping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 About time some Indians got to stick it to some dumb ass, left wingnut, liberal, Democrat, socialist, environmentalists, who have no right to screw with people on reservation land.

Warden Callaway Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I researched news of the incident. It sure looked like the reports were bias toward the protesters. Obviously putting the rangers in bad light and giving a list of talking points of the protesters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shoer 27979 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Having lived in Fernley NV., for those who don't know is just south of that reservation, and the last civilization before burning man. I think it is absolutely hilarious that those res Leo's destroyed that crap. I don't much care for the burners either, when they leave burning man there garbage is literally everywhere. They over fill dumpster, clog up the 2 car washes in Fernley so bad plumbers have to fix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a number of Burner friends and have it on my bucket list, but this year is a wipeout of epic proportions.
