I've been following the case of Cody Watts and Richelle Lail closely, and while there are many aspects of it that are deeply unsettling, something that's been on my mind is the impact on their coworkers at the McDonald's where it all happened. I can’t imagine what the staff must be going through, especially those who were there that night. Witnessing something so traumatic has lasting effects, not just emotionally but also in their daily lives. It's often the case that the focus is on the victims and the accused, but the secondary victims in these incidents, like coworkers and friends, deserve empathy and support as well. They've lost coworkers and friends in such a violent way, and they're surely grappling with feelings of fear and grief when returning to work. I hope there are resources available for them to process this tragedy and heal, and I'd be interested to know if anyone has heard about any support from the community or mental health services being offered. Tragedies like this remind us of the little acts of kindness and support that can make all the difference in the world for those left in the wake of such violence.
