The massacre created a mass state of panic within Gemurtrak that caused the public to demand immediate action.

A snap reorganization of the Gemurtrakian Legislature was called by King [king], placing the Monarchist Interest Party as the head of the Emergency Union, a temporary coalition of multiple right-wing political parties to aid in enforcing measures that the various left wing parties, namely the prior majority party in the chamber, the Social Union Party, would not let through under typical circumstances. Within less than a week, the Emergency Laws were introduced and enforced after heavy opposition by the SUP. The massacre additionally caused numerous social changes, especially concerning the safety of the Gemurtrakian nightlife scene. Attendance of nightclubs and bars plummeted as curfew and general public panic kept or scared many away from going out at night. Even after the reversal of multiple articles of the Emergency Laws later in the year and following years, the nightlife wouldn't recover fully until late into the 1980's., a popular music genre at the time lost immense amounts of popularity after its association with the massacre and the political left. The event is oftentimes considered the catalyst of the fall of the international popularity in the disco genre.

In late 1996, a court case was raised in the Supreme Federal Court of Gemurtrak claiming the massacre event was actually a false flag operation initiated by the MIP in an attempt to quell public support of the political left, and justify a heightened budget towards the Gemurtrakian military, all without the Monarch's approval, a breach in constitutional law. The case was raised into the Imperial Court of Justice of Gemurtrak, where multiple witnesses and evidence proving multiple ministers of the MIP's involvement were raised. These ministers were removed from the party and taken to court concerning their contribution to the event. Zantuk Bekter would later be outed as the head of the operation by then retired [capitan] and the case concluded in 1998 that the event was in fact an act of terrorism commited by the Gemurtrakian military. Contributers to the incident were arrested and later executed by firing squad on 12 June 2000, almost 20 years after the massacre.
