Nevada has zero interest in pandering to climate kooks, a fact made painfully clear when a group of cultists attempted to block the road leading to Burning Man, causing massive delays. Tribal Rangers arrived on the scene, and they were not amused. The situation escalated to the point where rangers actually drew their weapons on protesters.
The video turned out to be a major cathartic moment for average Americans.
Anti-capitalist climate activists blocked traffic into Burning Man Sunday, causing a stand-still spanning several miles on a major thoroughfare in Nevada – before rangers arrested them at gunpoint for “trespassing on tribal land.”
Videos posted online showed about half a dozen protesters from Seven Circles blocking a rural road using a trailer that they locked themselves onto, surrounded by banners reading “BURNERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!,” “ABOLISH CAPITALISM” and “GENERAL STRIKE FOR CLIMATE.”
The group says the protest was designed to draw attention to “capitalism’s inability to address climate’s ecological breakdown” and was meant as a protest 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.”
Seven Circles specifically claims that the annual arts and counter-culture festival’s goal of being carbon-negative by 2030 is “insufficient to tackle the pressing crisis.”
Well, thanks to the Rangers, that little protest didn’t last long.
"Get off the f–king road!"
Nevada Rangers END a "climate protest."
First he rams his truck through the eco terrorists makeshift blockade. Then he exits the vehicle, draws his weapon, and puts these criminals on the ground.pic.twitter.com/8aBsE4xAYL

Unfortunately, it appears that these Rangers were only able to act so heavy-handedly because of a quirk in the law.
Interesting situation
Reservations have their own law enforcement, but if they’re non Indian theyre supposed to use sheriffs or state police to make arrests
It creates Grey zone of enforcement, and they can get away with being far more punitive https://t.co/B41TGnQ00A

Let this serve as a warning to all politicians: the American people have no patience for being held hostage by snotty wealthy teens who pretend to hate capitalism and worship house plants. It’s time to enable our local law enforcement to shut down this nonsense just like the tribal Rangers in Nevada did, and send a strong message in the process.
