Essay by Eric Worrall

Apparently its not OK for climate protestors to stop America’s elites from attending important events.

Watch: Native American Tribal Police Bust Up Climate Change Activists Blocking Road to Burning Man

JORDAN DIXON-HAMILTON 28 Aug 2023

Nevada Tribal Rangers on Sunday plowed through a climate change protest that caused a miles-long backup blocking traffic to the annual Burning Man festival.

Video footage from Sunday showed the Nevada Tribal Rangers successfully breaking up the demonstration by driving a truck through the blockade. Close to 150 cars were reportedly halted on the only road to Burning Man due to the protesters.

For anyone concerned about the level of force the rangers used, Breitbart notes the sheer irresponsibility of the climate protest. Being trapped in a road jam in the Nevada desert heat can be life threatening. To deliberately create such a road jam is grossly irresponsible, and if anyone came to harm, would likely lead to accusations of criminal negligence.

While drivers could obviously have turned back, doing a u-turn in such conditions, with non a zero risk of high speed oncoming traffic, could have been very risky.

Having said that, one of the rangers is apparently under review for his actions;

One of the videos features a protestor screaming “We’re environmental protestors”, as they are rounded up and carted off.

If the protesters had stuck to lawfully waving a few banners from the side of the road, without inflicting their eco fascist roadblock onto other road users, I would have defended their right to protest, and of course, the right of drivers to ignore them.

What can I say? Don’t mess with Nevada police, especially the native rangers.
