There is something called Normalcy Bias that affects how people react to sudden unexpected events. When people suddenly hear loud popping sounds, they think they might be firecrackers, but even though the sounds are gunshots, the people might have very little or no reactions at all. There’s a YouTube channel (Active Self Protection) that reviews videos of self defense/ use of force incidents and does breakdowns of what the people in the videos did well or not. You would expect people who are close enough to witness this stuff to fight or scream for help or run away but you will see people just kind of standing around not doing anything while standing in the middle of a gunfight. It’s crazy but extremely common.

Vincent Fuscia had almost zero reaction for quite a while. Shots start being heard, Trump notices that he’s hit, Trump ducks, SS dogpile Trump, swat guys move in, everyone sits down, then VF’s first reaction is to sit down.

Maybe. Maybe not. Not all people freak out when something bad happens. Some dissociate, and feel nothing.

I know because that happens to me. I have had a few experiences in my life where it would have probably been normal to get at least a little bit hysterical, but I didn't because I really felt nothing at all. I could think, I could even act, I started to process what I could do, and then did that (not much).

And then freaked out several hours later, when everything was well over. Had some nightmares too, for some months.

The whole thing is said to usually come from some sort of childhood trauma, usually something that happened more than once so the child learned to mentally escape when she could not do it physically (not that I remember anything that might match in my childhood). Often enough the people who go there are unable to do anything, and don't necessarily really even see what is going on, they go a bit catatonic. But there are different reactions with that. What it feels like to me when I do that is that I start to observe the whole thing kind of clinically. It stops feeling real, becomes more like watching the news, or a movie or something, except one that I am not emotionally connected to. I merely observe.

If that woman is like me, she probably dissociated the second she heard the shots, realized what was happening, thought "historical moment, I better get video" and started filming. And maybe then spent the next night shaking and crying in her bed.

Anyone see her smile after the first shot?

I think the sign said 'Biden, you're fired'
