There isn't necessarily a girl. Things can build up from multiple fronts. We've already had the Tea Party and OWS. Americans are becoming more and more disgusted with all aspects of government and the establishment. I suspect war in the Pacific or another economic meltdown may result in some civil unrest, which may lead to further authoritarian crackdown, which may lead to further insurrection. This is all hypothetical, but looking at Ukraine and other parts of Europe, I would not be surprised.
China and Japan are ramping up rhetoric on a daily basis, too.
What I'm saying is that a girl isnt really necessary. But there could be a "girl" incident.
We could also just kind of continue in a slow downward slump, without any dramatic goings on. And there is a possibility things might even get better without any drama (One can hope).
If there is a "girl" incident, it will bring ugliness and unlike the movie, it will also bring more authoritarianism and people accepting that authoritarianism.
