Money donated to families of Aurora shooting victims goes elsewhere

I feel like this whole thing is super entitlement driven. I realize the tragedy that this shooting was it when I watched the news conference there was zero mention of how the victims were doing, what they needed it for, and why they need it now.

Seemed like a lot of greedy family saying " give me the money now!!!!" it was almost disgusting.

This is just another example of modern entitlement. The family made it sound like it was almost a blessing to be involved with the tragedy so they could get money. Ugh.

I don't know what media you were watching, but I never once heard any of the victims or their families demanding money.

- They want victims and families on the charity committee (major conflict of interests)
-They blamed the Gov for not holding to his word and asked him to intervene.
-They regarded their action to get the money to the victims as a "Fight for Justice"

They are doing everything but outright demanding it. However they are certainly doing everything to show they think they are entitled to it.

Wasn't the news, it was the news conference with the families.

I think that this whole deal is going to be pretty traumatic for all involved. They already dealt with a terrible event and now everyone is going to be at each others throats (already started) over some money that was donated. Nobody had to give a dime but out of the goodness of their hearts they did and now it's all drama.

I'm just saying that I hope they don't forget about the tragedy and just make this thing about money. Remember the lawsuit that was filed ~24 hours after the shooting that cited the theater didn't keep them safe? Everyone feels like they are owned something and they a trying to make this their excuss to be owed.
