One nit-picky point: had he (our hypothetical sniper victim) died in a landslide at work, worker's comp would give the widow income.
What about the $$$$ given to victims of 9/11. Do you folks support that? If so, would something similar be appropriate for the sniper victims? In case you didn't know, in most cities/states if you are a victim of violent crime and can't afford medical care a state fund covers it for you.

I thought is was appalling. Charity is nice, but some of those caught in the WTC were well to do on their own. That money could have been better spent on needy people. AND THE FED GOV IS NOT A CHARITY! Tax dollars should never go to something like that. Rebuilding the infrastructure that was destroyed in NYC, sure, but not sympathy funds.
I would like to know how much charity money has been raised since for other needy people, not just "victims of [insert publically covered disaster]". I'm betting very low amounts.
