How is it the World Trade Center families get 4.3 million and yet families of our soldiers who die get like 5 grand or something like that. Even the families from Oklahoma are going to sue now I hear. Everyone thinks they are owed something.
I think 9/11 set a dangerous precedent. After the DC sniper event, they were taking donations for the families of the victims. So what about the other people killed on the streets of DC? What made the sniper victims more deserving?
