At mine the media was very organized in who to talk to, and we were all asked not to talk to them. The populace in general seemed fake sad or overly offended (like a less Beto version of Beto) and a bunch of us were far enough away that it wasn't acutely scary. Some of the boys measured machismo by how unafraid they were.
I suspect mine was a targeted hit enacted through a brainwashed pawn.
Were you or your friends ever shocked or emotionally disturbed? or was the whole thing kind of numb?
Personally, I joked it off for the first day. I processed through the "anyone can die at any time for no reason" and eventually ended up especially alert at all times, ready to run at any moment. I watch people's hands constantly. You're on the bus and reach in your pocket for your phone? I watch your knuckles until it's out.
I think Covid riots shifted me from being 'alert' to a more actively 'on guard'. I conceal carry without a permit in gun free zones and when you're on the bus digging in your pocket for your phone my thumb is on the hammer waiting for justification to blast.
Yeah, I turned fully rotten because of it. I don't know how much I can say about the way other people reacted.
