Middle-aged men saw news of the shooting and thought: The world needs me now. They put on their capes and swooped in to the rescue, but when they got there, they found out they had no superpowers.

They were terrified and they wanted to dress it up as courage, and they spewed hate into the world in hopes of drowning out the threats.
