  1. Im confused why attendees couldnt just wait for the rains to stop and chill…thats what theyre there for. Its ironic because the cuckoo convention attracts the best of the best mentally challenged and then when under pressure they panic. Just extend the picnic longer!!

  2. Many of them were not actually stranded because they planned on staying until yesterday anyway.

  3. It was a mass keesha targeting Adami event through the use of beeshas.

  4. How is a Brazilian national criminal got to this country and committed these heinous crimes

  5. Love it when these criminals strand like this in muds

  6. Why is this top news? This was never an emergency. Meanwhile the real burners are still having tons of fun:)

  7. So much for Burning Man's carbon footprint. Thank goodness all those SUVs and Motorhomes are so efficient in gasoline and emission standards during a huge climate change awareness activity.

  13. I could care less about what the rich and elite experience. They brought this on themselves.

  14. That's the news today? I care zero about a bunch of aging drug addicts partying in the 🏜.

  15. Yeah, for singers get paid tons of money and he will god a good for quite some questions. Afterwords got it. They are stuck in mud. Water probably long gone at the bank getting all their money😅

  16. RIP Steve Harwell

    Hey, now, he's a dead guy, wrote a bad song. Good byeeee

  17. They all looked fine and they were having a good time. Who doesn't like some mud at summer festivals

  18. Probation… meaning… Free to do it again…😢we need to b warned whos on probation anymore…n then they escape.. criminals get all the breaks… even in prison.. taxpayers pay for their state stay… America is so corrupted…n the devil running for president… OMG 😳 must be something in the air… mother nature is cleaning it up…❤

  19. These huge big bucks companies dont want to give benefits..oh wait maybe family n friends get benefits..keep the money flow in the family… working under the thumb 👎 with no choice… America is greedy… SMH

  20. and everyone in Penn is scared of 120 lb 5' kid?

  21. This Morning's Top News – September 5

  22. When a white person of any standard is killed it is so much calmer and everyone on is grieving and "he/she had so much to live for"
    So much more beautiful they keep rubbing in his majors and how of a great person he was… if it was for someone else there will be strikes to a lot of yelling/screaming/crying or simply forgotten.
