Twelve hours passed quickly, and as the next day's sun rose, the front-page headlines of almost every country's newspapers, television broadcasts, radio stations, and websites were dominated by the Los Angeles disappearance incident.
It overshadowed all major events, be it local wars, diplomatic affairs, or economic exchanges, all making way for this globally shocking and strange incident.
So shocking!
So mysterious!
Beyond the ordinary public's understanding!
However, the only silver lining is that most ordinary people already know that all the missing persons were yesterday's rioters, not targets of a large-scale indiscriminate attack. So most people have breathed a sigh of relief and are not as frightened as yesterday.
Of course, people continue with their jobs and lives, but the protest crowd disappeared without a trace, while some criminals with past records are hiding at home, trembling.
