the backlash continues
[Both shooters are currently in Virginia Grace Hospital. Their names are Marcus and Tom Fitzpatrick, a pair of brothers in their mid twenties. Marcus, the elder of the two and the man who shot at Orin Monarch and killed a journalist, is currently in stable condition after being beaten into a bloody pulp by Orin. Tom, who held the guard hostage in the lobby of Aubade, is in critical condition after being shot by police, and is not expected to survive longer than a few days at the outside. The journalist, a Mark Johanson who worked for the Times, was DOA. More information will be released later by the press, but this is what is circulating on the news.
Meanwhile, mobs have formed outside Aubade and the hospital. Both locations are being protected by the police, who are waving through residents at Aubade and patients and staff at the hospital, but blocking everyone else. The mobs are split - some are trying to break into the hospital to lynch the men who tried to kill the Bat, acting in support of the masks. Those gathered at Aubade are calling for the head of the Bat, be it in the form of Orin Monarch or Thomas Brandon, and blame the Bat and the other masks for bringing violence down on the heads of innocent civilians. Both mobs share an angry, violent mood.
The mobs will remain active until the morning following the attack, and stay outside both locations all through the night. The split nature of the crowds at each location, with protesters and counter-protesters at both, will lead to scuffles, fights, and arrests.]
