Sgt. Bales versus Maj. Hasan

Bales will get a needle for his brutal killings.
Hasan will get counseling.

I wonder who's son Hasan or Bales looks like?  Or who's sons or daughters the victims look like?    Shouldn't we be concerned about that?

Far be it for me to convict without a trial, but for want of a better term: I heard on the news tonight that the Gov'mint is going to pay compensation to each of Bales victims to the tune of $15,000. How much did Hassan's victims get, I forget?

According to the news it is $50,000 for each death and $11,000 for the wounded. Wouldn't be surprised if some more dead and wounded are found soon and blamed on Sgt Bales.

It would only be practical.    I mean, there are "Honor Killings" frequently and what better way for the wrong doer to atone than to bring a bit of cash flow to the family along with their demise.  As for wounded, I'm sure a "Honorable" son/daughter/father/mother would take one in the leg for the family coffers.

Ok I heard wrong. I still want to know how much Hassan's victims got. I know that the Government wouldn't just let them fend for themselves, but I forget what the figure is.
