Wrong again, the intention is to denounce the impact of burning man and force it to reduce. Publicity, good or bad, remains a very effective means.

  ...and, that attempt at force was then met with an opposing force; but not before infuriating large numbers of people who might otherwise have given some thought to the original point. Think Harder, Homer.

    You really think the orgs don't know that ? You really think they expected ever festival-goer to suddenly realize the errors of their ways and go home ? You really think that now, no one is going to think about this story ? What is your background on activism that makes you say all that ?

      I'm sure that they never expected their disruption to actually change anyone's mind. Of course, they're never going to admit this, and will always claim to be "peacefully raising awareness" or somesuch. They won't say: "we're gonna go irritate hundreds of people, then get arrested on camera for publicity". People will think about this story-they'll be thinking about how to donate to the Paiute Tribal Police auxiliary fund so the guys in the truck can have a cookout after work.
