Rules are simple and the same as last year as per Duffy.
Rules:
Pick the city where you think the first REPORTED Black Friday Riot will occur and post here by midnight east coast time, thanksgiving day.
Then post a link to the earliest news report of riot (date and time of report should be in the story (at top, usually).
Winner gets a free gif from Duffy Claus.
Bonuses:
Name the news source reporting and store where riot takes place.
New rule… Ferguson doesn’t count.

Ok, I’m banking on riots in Ferguson spilling over to downtown St. Louis and their black Friday sales. Is that allowed? If not my backup is Buffalo/FOX/Walmart. They were pretty quiet last year, I’m hoping for a rebound this season.

I’ll grudgingly give you St. Louis but I’m watching you.
Since most stores now open on Thanksgiving Day, I’m betting there will be a riot Thursday.
8 a.m. Thursday
Fox News
KMart
California?
That’s a bold pick.
My exact thought however, any state is possible since there will be no Black Friday since stores open at 5p tomorrow.

California?
That’s a bold pick.
Picking west coast is a sure way to lose. The East coast has a 3 hr head start to get their buffoonery going.

Hence the boldness of the pick.
Bold does not necessarily = smart.
I like this!
My pick:
Atlanta (why not…really tempted to go Philly here for some reason)
Walmart (this part is a given right?)
CNN (again…a given. No other network is likely to have boots on the ground just salivating for such news)

Wife said Walmart is doing a wristband thing now to prevent riots…not sure how true that is.

They’ll just riot to get the wristbands. All they are doing is moving the issue outside the store.

Oh, wait I think all the stores are closed?
Hang on, brb
Shit went down at a Walmart in Oxnard, California and one man arrested. Apprently he was fighting with a woman over a Barbie.
