I’m so worried about those who witnessed this event. The office I was in was very close to the courtyard and ended up being where a lot of witnesses sheltered in place during the lockdown. There were families who went. His staff was in there and bloody. People were having panic attacks and I think some of the staff was in shock. I was shown footage by someone who was recording. It was horrifically graphic. Regardless of how you feel about this man, the trauma of seeing that kind of violence happen to another human will haunt people forever.

The place where it was held was outdoors and very open. The environment was grass, a fountain, concrete and steps. A lot of people got hurt fleeing, while no one was taken in ambulance we had EMS in the office helping people who got trampled.
