Into the streets

The eruption of street protests around the country against the “stimulus bill”, as depicted in this video, certainly took me by surprise. I never expected anything like this so soon, if at all.
So what happens next? Is this the start of something that is likely to snowball? Will others take to the streets and join in to swell the voice of protest? Or will it all fizzle out as suddenly as it has begun?
Will the unions be next to protest against the new Administration’s policies, as predicted in this video?
In the past I have seen many protests by people from the left of the political spectrum, but how often do we see scenes like this from… I think it would be wrong to call it the political right, because it is obviously not only Republicans who are protesting against such massive expenditure in a bill that was voted for by people who had no time to read it, let alone digest it. Am I wrong in thinking these street protests are something new?
It will be interesting, to say the least, to see where we go from here. It will also be interesting to see if Youtube allows this video to remain where it is.
