There are no reasons
Aug. 25th, 2017 08:46 amSo there was a shooting Downtown yesterday. It's weird that this made such a big splash, newswise, but I guess the differences between this and your average Downtown shooting were enough to make it stand out. Mostly the whole 'active shooter' angle versus the usual drive-by in the less tourist-y parts of town. Plus, y'know, daytime.
I didn't hear about it until well after it was over, but to prove how small a town Charleston is, I already have two people I know related to it. One is Cass & Ari's mother who is the person I heard about it first when her post from earlier in the day asking if anyone had heard from two of the people who work at the restaurant. One of them, of course, was the man who was killed. This morning I check FB, like you do, and one of my brother's ex-girlfriends has left a comment on Live5's FB post and it turned into a shitstorm pretty quick. Because of course it did.
I am sort of surprised that I didn't see a single one of my regulars who work downtown. I'm also not really surprised when I stop and think about it but still. There are quite a few who normally come in during my shift and not a one appeared last night. :/
Thank you to those who heard Charleston and thought of me. ♥
And on a personal note, this is one of the few times I'm glad my brother does not work in one of the downtown restaurants because holyfuckballs.
