A bull guard is a pickups best accessory.
Strange how cousin Eddie was the only one smart enough to just go around the toads.

I would never want to see it but somebody's going to lose their shite on these people, eventually.

There have been dozens of arrests in Canada for Arsons causing the many of the "wildfires" (used to be called forest fires) and there is very little media reporting of it.

Trud controls truth up there like the alphabets do here. Comical to many, gospel to the rest.

Maybe the best part of this is this enforcement was from Native American Tribal Rangers. They are have Sovereign immunity but not personal immunity.
Will the Greenies sue a Native American Tribal Ranger?

Not surprising:
A Nevada Ranger told a reporter at the scene they received a 911 call saying that someone in the crowd was going to shoot the activists blocking the street.
This would explain their urgency and aggressive response to the blockade.
The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe released a statement confirming the climate militants were all from out of state.
The Ranger’s conduct is also ‘under review.’
“Upon arrival, Rangers informed the activists to clear themselves from the highway which backed up the traffic for several miles. Our Rangers used his patrol vehicle to move the blockade debris out of the roadway to allw Burning Man traffic to proceed. The involved Ranger’s conduct is under review,” the statement said.

A commendation would be in order for the officer, the b@tch holding traffic up with her cohorts could have caused a death in the waiting line eg an EV with low charge not long before the AC stops in the tropical heat.

We all think that these Rangers did the right thing and deserve accommodations but sadly that is no longer the world we live in. These guys will all get fired and maybe do jail time for doing the right thing. When this is over they will be lucky if they can get a job as a Walmart greeter.
If I were their lawyer I would be playing the Native American Tribal card from day one, their only hope.

I can't see that being the case. The Rangers gave them 30 seconds to clear a public road and as they refused they were endangering the public.
If only the police were as effective against the slow march 'stop the oil' nutters over here instead of pussy footing around with them.

I suspect the Tribal Police will get more latitude than their non-tribal brothers might. There might be some training issues identified and addressed but I'm not sure anyone will lose their job. Time will tell I guess.

We had some climate peanuts climb on a motorway gantry with placards not long ago and the motorway was closed until the protestors were eventually forced down after a few hours by officers climbing up there. Would love to see the li bs reaction if armed police gave the peanuts a minute to come down

No quicker way to get people to hate your cause than blocking a street.
