Topic	City of Columbus to pay $10M settlement because of cop's mistake
TreyFlowers 05/14/21 5:10:41 PM #5:	zinezinzadan posted... Humans that seek compensation during the loss of a loved one are equally as vile in my opinion. Ive never understood it. I would accept funeral expenses maximum, and MAYBE college education expenses if the victim had kids. But $10m will not bring my family member back. I am grieving during this time, not taking the settlement to try and make a profit of my familys death Jesus Christ. I despise these people. Ive always theorized that individuals who actually accept the ridiculous sums already had a troubling relationship with their family so its more of a Now Im going to profit because of all the years of fighting I endured with said family member. But no one ever brings this up. We keep blaming the court system. If I was in that position, I would accept the settlement only until it covers 100% of the funeral and maybe 100-200k per child to pay for a 4 year college if the victim had children, everything over can go back to the state to fix roads and build schools. Imagine thinking Nope I get to live in a mansion, drive a sports car, and set up trust funds all due to the loss of my family member. There is something fucked about that in my opinion. No amount of money will bring me joy. There is nothing to compensate my familys absence. I just dealt with my friends losing their sister in a murder and I could see the same in their eyes, they didnt want money nor do they care. Some humans disgust me. You're right, but living as comfortably as possible and your family as well is one small benefit. Obviously there's people who take the piss and see it as a profit making scheme but some people can't work anymore, spiral into depression. At least this removes money as a stressor for the family v --- ...for it is better to be alone than in bad company. <cite>TreyFlowers posted [p:953908263] in City of Co...
