They are considering paying a small sum of money ($20K per person) to the victims who are still alive, nobody else. If the government took YOU and did this would you think you deserved to be compensated, or what YOU just say "Crap happens"?

So how big of a check have you written the victims??? I imagine since you feel so strongly about it, you've poneyed up at least a couple grand. Or are you even a resident or taxpayer or North Carolina? You do realize that if this was the law of North Carolina for decades, a majority of state voters must have supported it or at least not felt strongly enough about it to appeal to their elected representatives to repeal it. Since we are are a Representative Republic, we "the people" are just as culpable as the government. Therefore, I will leave it up to the taxpayers of North Carolina to decide if it weighs heavy enough on their conscience to decide if what, if any compensation is necessary.

Hey, come to think of it, my fathers side of the family were Jews who left Poland in the early 1800's due to persecution, maybe I deserve a juicy payout. Paging a "Social Justice" lawyer.

Let's go back to my original question, if something like this happened to YOU would YOU think you deserved to be compensated? YES or NO.

Two TOTALLY DIFFERENT subjects. We ARE NOT talking about reparations to descendants of victims, we are talking about compensation to the victims themselves.

Dude, that's sick.
