SL Residents Riot Over Proposed Stipend Cuts

Actually, it was more of a loud kvetchy protest, but if the incident in A Tale in the Dessert counts as a riot, then this does too, and then some. Yesterday, at least six protest events were held by my count, and a town meeting with Robin Linden had to be moved to a larger venue to contain the crowd, and the chat logs quickly filled up with blistering criticism of the Linden proposal, while other protests took the form of signs, petitions, new groups (e.g. Outraged SL Citizens) that vented all night long, and, as the pics below show, really tight T-shirts (woot!, more of that please!). I was stuck on a machine with a bad graphics card, so the following pics are suboptimal. We hope to get more pics from our paparazzi soon. Calling Taco.
