When your first reaction to the news that someone got shot and killed at your usual subway stop is to be annoyed and not appalled because it means you're going to take an extra forty minutes to get home.

Or maybe I just don't have the energy to be frightened.

Eeeek! I am sure that the reality of it will creep up on you. A similar occurance happened to me while I was living in Seattle a few years ago. Luckily, I moved out of the city proper and into a nice suburban area.

(((you))) later if you need it*

It's cause it was your stop. I was plenty scared for you (with about 5% "eep, I would have been down there if we hadn't rescheduled!"). I am SO relieved to see this post. I was about to email you.

But when something similar happened near my house I shrugged it off.

Still.

Eeep.

Yeah. It's funny. Probably because when you know the neighborhood you've got a better idea of the ratio of fools to nice people.

Tomorrow the place should still be soaked in cops, but I'll understand if you want to hold off!

Errr.... I've been living in cities all my life, but if I ever heard that someone actually got *shot* (!?!?!?!), I'd get *off* the subway and find another way home. Hang the extra forty minutes.

That is just too horrible and scary. One reason why American cities frighten me. (Please don't take this as a political statement. It is only what I feel. People *do* get shot in Canadian cities too, but not nearly as often, and it is always shocking.)

I'm so glad you were nowhere near there.

*snerk*

Oh, I understand the feeling. And cops'll be there for a couple of days to 'make their presence known' and then be gone again.
