The Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP) awarded an $8.3 million grant to the California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB) in order to support victims of the tragic Las Vegas shooting that took place in October 2017.
According to CalVCB...
• 65 percent of the 24,000 people at the Route 91 Harvest Festival were California residents.
• More than 600 Californians were injured in the attack.
• 35 of the 58 killed were from California.
“Thousands of California residents were present that day, and hundreds of them seriously wounded,” Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said . “Immediately after the shooting, we began working with officials from California and Nevada to meet the needs of victims, their families, first responders, and the community.”
To date, CalVCB has had 3,000 applications for assistance. The board has paid out over $4.5 million in benefits for mental health treatment, income loss, burial costs and other crime-related expenses. The federal grant will partially reimburse the state board for money already paid out in benefits. The remainder will be used for survivors' future needs.
“This tragic event affected so many people from both California and Nevada. From the beginning we’ve worked hand-in-hand with Nevada officials, and with our state, county and community partners to provide assistance to survivors,” CalVCB Executive Officer Julie Nauman said in a statement. “We encourage survivors and their family members who are struggling to recover to contact us.”
Last year, the DOJ awarded more than $16.7 million for Route 91 survivors.
Californians who believe they are eligible for assistance through CalVCB have until October 1, 2020 to apply for benefits.
Where is little Jeff Sessions....

Hush money?
And, as usual, it’s our money they are doling out. Anybody find this in the Constitution?
I bet the people in the inner cities are wondering where their money is. They have mass shootings every weekend.
Why is the DOJ paying? Do they have some liability that I am unaware of? Why is taxpayer money going for this?
Why isn’t Mandalay Bay on the hook or perhaps the concert organizers or Las Vegas or Nevada? Where are the insurance companies? How is this a DOJ liability?
I wonder how many of those 600+ got money for mental health treatment?
To date, CalVCB has had 3,000 applications for assistance.

Where’s my check??? I was emotionally disturbed over the shooting and the subsequent coverup by the FBI.
I haven’t got the least idea.

How bizarre
Let’s wrap this Freepathon up, Folks!
FBI false flag and they know it... this is a sign of guilt and retribution.
How about the FBI granting the truth?
That would be refreshing.
That’s my theory also. What better crowd to shoot up than a country music concert with mostly conservative fans to convince a group of people to ban guns?
“Why is the DOJ paying? Do they have some liability that I am unaware of?”
Since the killer had been employed by the CIA at one time, perhaps there is a government connection somewhere. I’m sure CA will qualify for these generous grants of our tax money as long as Nanzi is Speaker of the House, where tax money gets approved for redistribution.
The Feds were likely funding the guy's operation, whatever it was.
Yep... Was watching what I could in real time as it happened and had dispatch streaming on broadcastify. The conversions were very unusual about how to act and what orders to follow or not follow. It was so bizarre that it was the only thing I could think at the time. There was obviously a third party controlling the scene as it went down.
I heard a rumor that David “the media” Hogg was a survivor at this event. Any verification on this?
1993 WTC bombing survivors, still got nothing a quarter century later. How did I get lucky enough to be in the only terrorist attack without any sort of compensation or assistance given to the victims?
I've heard those rumors. If true & we are paying, then we deserve an explanation.
I don’t know about a planned event. I didn’t think the FBI is competent enough to pull that off. I tend to believe that it was probably a botched FBI operation that the idiots lost control of.
