Irony doesn’t get much better than this in our Horn News Friday Fail, this time a 2023 throwback that you’ll enjoy watching again and again.
A group of climate activists blocked the only road into the Burning Man festival in August 2023, causing a miles-long traffic jam at the entrance to the Nevada desert festival.
Videos posted to X showed woke protesters using a trailer to block the road into Black Rock City, where tens of thousands of Burning Man attendees were backed up in the desert heat.
The standoff didn’t last long.
A white pickup truck from the Pyramid Lake Tribal Rangers station drove directly through the barricade, scattering the blockade and sending activists scrambling.
Several were arrested by the tribal police as they screamed and cried.

The environmental group accused the festival of being “commodified by affluent people who do not live the stated values” of the event and said said it failed to achieve “carbon negativity and ecological regeneration for Black Rock City by 2030.”
The tribal rangers didn’t have time or energy for that nonsense.
