The festival also caught the attention of people, following Silicon Valley attorney Nicole Shanahan and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Nicole Shanahan, who was thinking on social media, whether the desert celebrations were demons.
“I used to be a faithful ‘burner’ and attended the conference faithfully every year from 2014 to 2022.” Post on X. Shanahan, who previously married Google co-founder Sergey Brin, has since questioned the safety of the vaccine and declared himself a “new Christian.”
In the post, she wrote that in previous visits to Burning people, she saw “thousands of people smiling, reveling in freedom and joy, and browsing Black Rock with a brief air.”
“Yes, there is a constant revelry,” she wrote. “Yes, the number of drugs is amazing. Yes, people who burn have sexual assaults and rapes, as well as tragic, often preventable deaths. Nudity is everywhere. Overdose happens so often that they rarely interrupt parties or close camps.”
She claimed the event was filled with “mysterious symbols” and rituals, calling it not only a quirky festival, but also “one of the most effective tools for Satan to mislead our Heavenly Father.”
“I’m new to demonology, but there’s obviously some dangerous job here,” Shanahan said.
The organizers of the event did not respond to a request for comment on this year’s incident, but instead posted an article on Instagram on Sunday, just hours before the man burned out, to send a message to attendees.
“That man burns tonight, reminding you everything you endure and create in a challenging week,” Post to read. “Weather shifts, unpredictability increases, but this community thrives because of you.”
