It will be very interesting to see what happens in reaction to this, and how the media covers it. Even if there are riots, you might not hear about it. There have been several major protest marches in major cities involving thousands of people in America in the past year that never made it onto any mainstream media. It depends on whether they deem the issue "worth covering", and that may be a political decision. Since it is television stations doing most of the news reporting, they may be reluctant to cover protests which are likely to be (at least partly) directed at them (by people who don't know any better). But some radio stations and newspapers should cover any difficulties; word should get around, as this shouldn't be deemed too political.

Riots? Are you kidding? This country, collectively, has stood still for overtaxation, overspending, and the Red Chinese, of all people, financing us.
You think they'll riot over their TV's turning to snow?
...come to think of it, that's probably the ONLY thing that will get them off their collective, lazy a$$es.
