Burning Man has descended into chaos as fed-up revelers snapped and fought during the mass exodus from the washout festival.
Tempers frayed during the hours-long line of RVs and campers on the way out of the Nevada desert, with cops warning many had turned hostile towards each other.
Pershing County Sheriff Jerry Allen said exhausted partygoers 'lashed out' at one another after finally breaking following a weekend of misery in the rain and mud.

So basically, an anarchy festival breaks out into anarchy and riot. Jeeminy, who could have predicted that?

Where low life gathers... I am surprised they weren't struck by lightening.

Who is going to clean up the mess they left behind? Those roadways will be full of ruts for years once the ground dries up.

The Burning Man Festival is close to the top of my list of places and things that I have no interest whatsoever in ever going to see. The only thing worse than seeing the thousands of nekid aging hippies would be smelling the thousands of nekid aging hippies.

I find it's a good thing to say away from crowds like that.
It's no fun being in a mob.

And, of course, many left their trash behind. I guess that's one way to stick it to 'the man'. Or, perhaps they're looking at it pragmatically - 100,000 attendees at $550 per (minimum ticket price) would mean the San Francisco millionaires who put this thing on every year could afford to pay someone to clean the place up. And, to hear that people were running out of gasoline? Too funny.

FTA: "... He said they had walked six miles through the mud before hitching a ride.
'I legit walked the side of the road for hours with my thumb out,' Diplo wrote...."
So much for love and compassion for your fellow man! They don't even help one of their own!

"According to Burning Man co-founder Larry Harvey in 2004, the event is guided by ten principles. These stated principles are radical inclusion, gifting, decommodification, radical self-reliance, radical self-expression, communal effort, civic responsibility, leaving no trace, participation, and immediacy."
Burning Man is a lie.

I guess this thing has been going for twenty years and I never heard of it. Never would have except for all the mess. Great media we got. Real crusaders and truth tellers.

Dry lakes are not always dry. Play stupid games.....win stupid prizes.
If there is ANYTHING more stupid and pointless than this "festival", I can't think of it right now.

Contrary to what people believe, this gathering is overwhelmingly white (81%), and over 60% earn over $100K/year. As one article put it, "And who attends this drug-infested event? The rich tech bros...rich white tech bros."

While I'm sure that not all of these "festival" goers are antifa thugs, my bet is that 90% of all antifa thugs spring up from this loony bin of dingbats, crazies and whack jobs.

70,000 dirty mud-covered idiots many of whom will descend on Reno to clean up and recover. It happens every year according my cousin who lives in Reno.

I've been to a few of these hippie events over the years, and generally have a great time and meet great people. The thing to keep in mind is that they are all about the peace and love until it is inconvenient. Then they become complete animals like everyone else.

These dummies are wanting to recreate Woodstock. Woodstock was a horror show to many people who were there but the Press used and use it for political reasons. Grow up!
