I don't know about anyone else but I'd feel pretty darn embarrassed and disgusted if someone walked up to me and handed me a check for that amount if my child had been one of the victims.
But then again, I wouldn't be standing around on my front lawn giving interviews to the press .......or participating in a public candlelight vigil either.
There are some things where common decency should take precedence, not camera whoring.......
Don't worry. Embarassment is not likely. After expenses, they'll actually be distributing $24.36. That's how United Way works.
