    yeah i get the sentiment but, obviously this method is futile i just hate seeing poc getting brutalized for no real reason. idk i just think sabotage would be far more effective. its a dessert you know. maybe if they had 5 times more people out there and (in a perfect world) guns the road block would work but yeah literally the only outcome of a crowd this small trying to block the road is them getting arrested at best. call me a doomer ig

      There’s 75 miles between Nixon, NV and Black Rock and about 80 miles between Eaglevile, CA and Black Rock. That’s nearly 150 miles of mostly uninhabited road where one could properly space about 1000 spiky bois over the stretch and cause way more damage and chaos. A group of 3 or 4 people could weld up 1000 caltrops in less than a day for about $150.

      Oh yeah for sure, but there’s also a question of what you can get away with and what you’re comfortable with doing.
