Will anything serious happen to the rioters, or will they get off easy? Also, there an update on that guy who tried to stop the looting, and got the tar stomped out of him. Is he okay?

It remains to be seen, whether due punishment is meted out. There's a big hue and cry for rounding up and jailing the offenders. At the same time, the usual leftards are already writing letters to the editor saying we're all to blame. We must study the root causes. We have to "empower" the underclasses, so they don't act up in the future (conveniently overlooking the fact that many of the rioters were over-privilidged, spoiled, self-entitled students from the suburbs). I don't hold out a lot of hope for a good outcome.
