Showcasing her breathtaking physique, Demi Rose was surrounded by fellow festival-goers as she posed in the Nevada Desert. Treating fans to an intimate close-up, she shared a selfie highlighting her stunning chest and stomach on social media. Accompanying the racy snaps, Demi captioned them with, “Before the storm.” However, this year’s Burning Man took a chaotic turn as frustrated revelers engaged in altercations during the mass exodus from the waterlogged festival last Monday. Tempers flared in the hours-long line of RVs and campers leaving the Nevada desert, with law enforcement warning of escalating hostility among the departing crowds.
Sheriff Jerry Allen of Pershing County revealed that exhausted attendees at the Burning Man Festival “lashed out” at each other, venting their frustration after enduring a weekend of rain and mud. Drone footage from DailyMail.com depicted long lines of vehicles slowly navigating the sand as they exited the festival on Monday. Instances of vehicles attempting to cut in front of others and maneuvering in the mud to avoid collisions were reported, highlighting the dwindling patience among the gridlocked festival-goers. Meanwhile, the grand finale, the burning of ‘the man,’ finally took place a day behind schedule, illuminating the wooden statue for the remaining crowd.
Meanwhile officials named the man who died during the festival on Saturday as 32-year-old Leon Reece, as they admitted the weather hampered their response.
‘As usually happens in what burners refer to as the ‘default world’ people allow their emotions to override their reasonableness and they are lashing out at each other as they leave the playa and attempt to make it to their next destination,’ Pershing County Sheriff Allen told the San Francisco Chronicle.
‘This behavior definitely does not fall within the 10 principles of Burning Man, but that is not the fault of BMP either, but is a societal issue.’
Allen also said the unusual weather delayed the arrival of the emergency services when Reece collapsed last Saturday.
He said an investigation is underway and a toxicology report being carried out. The sheriff said the abnormal weather was causing problems with trash.
‘This year is a little different in that there are numerous vehicles strewn all throughout the playa for several miles,’ the sheriff said.
The annual gathering, which launched on a San Francisco beach in 1986, attracts nearly 80,000 artists, musicians and activists for a mix of wilderness camping and avant-garde performances.
