    Default Thursday night shooting rampage.. support?

    hi,, just had a hard night on thursday night.. we had a man shooting people up randomly all over the city. we had about 10 girls on shift.. There were only two customers from 6pm until 10:30.. so I left early.. The main road through downtown to get to the club was taped off and the highway was shut down. On the news people were told to stay in their houses until he was caught.
    A man was shooting people walking down the street as he was driving. I left because- a. I wanted to be with my husband, b. girls were starting to get catty, and c. I was just feeling confused and scared.
    (This was 2 blocks from my club) I think this weekend everyone wants to be with their families vs. going to the bar. I don't have a link but just google grand rapids shooting kills seven, or grand rapids massacre. We just had a candlelight vigil downtown for the victims,
    Not sure if it will be worth it to try to work tomorrow am. Usually I do well on Sat. days, but I went to regular bar with my brother tonight, and it was dead ... I have an invitation to go tubing at noon tomorrow. Would it be a smart time to let everyone get back to normal and wait till after the weekend to return to work? What should I do? I didn't know anyone that got shot personally, but the city is reeling.

    I heard about it. It was a breaking news story on the CNN website for awhile yesterday. I'm so sorry, and I'm glad you are okay!

    I live in eastern MI, but I have friends who live in GR, so it was really scary not knowing if they were okay. I'm so sorry you were affected by this! *hugs*

    Yes stay away from work for a few days, unless u want more of what u described happened that nite...dead/no money, catty girls, feeling lonely and sad in This time of tragedy. Sinse u didn't know any of the victims personally, yea it's ok to go tubing, if anything necessary to get ur mind to a happier place and get refreshed from the stress caused by these recent events.

    This sounds like a terrible and very scary situation I'm sorry to head that this happened, and I'm really glad u made it home safely that nite.

    Oh. my. God.

    What a piece of shit. How can you shoot your own child?

    The prison system is so worthless, when will they either A. actually do something in prison to make the inmates functioning members of society when they're released or B. lock them up and not let them out for crimes like he was in prison for originally.

    Ay yi yi.

    I'm sorry that this affected you and your ability to earn a living. But maybe guys will come in to your club since they're going to want some cheering up.

    wow. that's awful.

    i'd expect business to be bad for at least a month. if you're able to travel, you might want to try that.

    I live in the Ann Arbor, MI area. I heard about this as well. I thought he was killing ex girlfriends and then committed suicide. I'm sorry you were in the area when this happened.

    Grand Rapids isn't a shithole area either so this was pretty unexpected, Flint, Detroit, or Pontiac maybe but not Grand Rapids.

    thank you for all the support.. i know I need it right now. Well.. I did go to work on Sat. day shift and it was dead, but I needed the money. I am going up north for a few days to stay on the lake with my husband and hopefully that will refresh us and rid of all the stress of from these events. I might try to travel sporadically to clubs near the lake that are busy with people staying at their cabins, etc. They might be less affected by the tragedy seeing as they have been away from the city, swimming/fishing every day. Otherwise I might to go new orleans for a week or so at the end of july like I've been saying I will. My husband can't go with me though due to work, I wonder if he still needs support through this and will feel lonely if I go away..
