RICHMOND, Va. - Families of those killed in the Virginia Tech massacre would receive $100,000 each under a settlement the state is proposing to prevent lawsuits, according to a victim's relative who received a copy of the proposal.

Medical and counseling expenses would be provided to the families of the 32 killed and dozens of surviving victims, said the person, who asked Monday to remain anonymous because those involved were told not to discuss the settlement.

Families would also have the opportunity to question the governor and university officials about the shootings, according to the family member.

I hope every one of the families sue 'em for astronomical sums.  It should be made plain that if you disarm me, you are responsible for my safety and it will be VERY COSTLY if you fail to protect me.

A while back my mother, who works on the base close to where we live,  sent scholarships to college students from the organization she works for and a few days later one of the fathers called back in tears and said he couldn't accept it.......you can guess the reason why.


I say sue the bastards for all they can!

Same with ANY gun free zone, If they are setting people up to be killed they should be punished in the only place they seem to notice. THE WALLET. If some schools and businesses are forced out of business then maybe the others will get the message.
