Protesters Demand LL Send Le Pen’s People to M-rated Sims
In a press release today, the SL Left Unity group blasted the Front National party in Second Life as a fascist/racist organization and set the scene for ongoing confrontations by buying land next to the FN office in the Matrix Mall - while staging protests outside the pro-Le Pen FN group’s headquarters in the metaverse.
According to the press release, not only are the words growing heated, the scene is becoming more violent as protesters complain of being shot by FN security - and this seemed to be what I was witnessing on my visit.
While at the Matrix Mall in Porcupine this afternoon, I saw crowds of pro and anti-FN avatars milling about with some avatar’s weapon shields engaging occasionally. I also noticed what seemed to be a pattern of anti-FN avatars suddenly flying into the air - evidently a low-intensity push weapon skirmish was being fought - at the same time political positions were being argued in french. Given the rhetoric of the groups involved, the conflict I witnessed was not surprising.
