Memory Alpha's riot timeline:
Early in the morning of September 1st, a fight between a guard and a dim sparked a riot, wherein the ghosts led by B.C. attacked the Sanctuary guards and quickly captured the Sanctuary Processing Center as well as the rest of the district. Armed with the weapons of the overpowered guards, the ghosts took six center employees hostage, including Vin, Calvera, and Lee. They were joined by "Gabriel Bell" and Michael Webb, who acted as the voice and face of the riot while dealing with police negotiator Detective Preston.
Chris Brynner, who owned Brynner Information Systems (which operated Channel 90 on the net), was convinced by Dax to break the law and to reconnect the Processing Center after the police cut it off. Reconnected on September 2nd, many Sanctuary residents (such as Henry Garcia) were able to tell their stories of imprisonment to the outside world. As a result, the American public became aware of the great injustice that had been hidden from them and further riots broke out in Sanctuaries across the US.
Despite protests from Detective Preston, the governor of California ordered National Guardsmen to retake the Sanctuary by force on September 3rd at 0500 hours. In the melee, hundreds of Sanctuary residents were killed, including B.C. and Michael Webb. "Gabriel Bell" was shot, protecting Vin and the other hostages (all of whom remained unharmed).
i think they just called it the 'net'. i remember thinking it weird they didnt use the word 'internet'
They did, but so did that Sandra Bullock movie. I think it was supposed to be the internet.
"Hey, I was in that movie, too! They used to put my face on the cover...Of course, Sandra did do most of the work on that one..."
Wrong Sandra Bullock movie.

There are no wrong Sandra Bullock movies.
Except "All About Steve". That one is wrong.
Spoiler for 'All About Steve'
It was not.The one where she forces her employee to marry her is pretty cringe, oh, so is that one where you can't make noise or the boogie men will get you. Edit - or was it you can't open your eyes? Yes, I think that was it. The Bird Box?
Great points.
I'm realizing a picked a poor hill to defend.
Though I'll admit I did enjoy both of those.
I did enjoy the HR nightmare one. I wanted my time back after watching The Bird Box.
I shall henceforth always call "The Proposal" by it's corrected title "The HR Nightmare One". That's so perfect. Thank you for that.
Oh gosh. I've already established myself as a die hard defender of all Sandra Bullock movies that aren't "All About Steve"... But I forgot about "The Net". Uh... I like my answer better.
And yet, both were horrible and not worth watching.
Come to think of it, that describes a huge number of movies she's been in.
How dare you?! Lol.
I'm can't decide if this is a joke or not, and whether it's better that way or the other way around.
She was certainly a lot prettier.
