The Justice Department on Tuesday announced more than $1.5 million in initial reimbursement funding for agencies and organizations that aided victims and first responders following last year’s mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.

[rktman]

Well, there's money well spent. A free puppy or kitten too perhaps?

[cripplecreek]

Lets not forget the $50 million plus to tear down the school and build a new one.

[Prole]

1.5 million taxpayer dollars? I am sure the Cheshire cats are grinning even more.

[Star Traveler]

How much was sent for the Fort Hood Islamic Terror Attack? Or perhaps, since Obama called it “workplace violence” - he’s not going to do anything about stopping Islamic Terror attacks.

Islamic terror attacks have killed MORE PEOPLE in the last 12+ years than any of the crazies who have gone on their drug-fueled shooting sprees. Go after the Muslim terrorists in the USA!

[knarf]

Not to people but to agencies and organizations.

People don't exist

That's why it is ludicrous to hear, "The Amerrican people ... "

There ARE no American people.

[napscoordinator]

This is ok. Many organizations worked long hours on this tragedy. At first, I thought the money was going to the families which I would have objected too.

[ColdOne]

How long has DOJ been able to hand out money?

[sheana]

That was my first question. The second was which organizations, etc. If they are government they already have money and if they are charitable that is supposed to be what they do. So wth?

[ColdOne]

Similar funding was announced following the 1995 the Oklahoma City bombing and mass shootings in Aurora, Colo.; Tucson, Ariz.; and at Virginia Tech. I also don't see Fort Hood on that list!

This is ok. Many organizations worked long hours on this tragedy.

I’m sure they did. But I live in Kentucky. Why am I paying for their local problem?

[cuban leaf]

Well, Ft Hood is federal property, so it’s probably a given there.

[ColdOne]

I was thinking that.

[Doc Savage]

First responders???????????? There weren’t any. Cops declared everyone dead and no one in need of emergency care. What a joke. Great shooting. 154 AR rounds in under 5 minutes and not once did he JUST wound a kid or a teacher. (Shot in foot was a complete fake!) Quite an expert marksman…………. First responders my ass!

[Doc Savage]

to. Worked long hours???????? Acting maybe. This was one hell of hoax. A tragedy?? The only tragedy here was the truth.

[Prole]

Well, actors have to eat too. How much cash did creeps like Gene Rosen, Robbie Parker and Sally Cox get out of this taxpayer funded scam?

[CivilWarBrewing]

Bingo. More money laundering by the DOJ. This follows the shake down of J.P. Morgan of $13 billion for redistribution to Eric's people. More shakedowns are underway as we speak, with 0bamacare the biggest one of all.

Anyone who buys Sandy Hoax and the Bogus Boston Bombing hasn't done their research. Seriously.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Since the invention of ‘hush money’.

[Jane Long]

Yep. More payoffs. Move along, nothing to see.

[grania]

I have questions, too. So much money was donated at the time of the charity that one wonders how that was spent. The other thing is that Newtown is not a poor town. I'm sure insurance took care of people's needs.

I hate to have to think that way. But as an example, Chardon OH had a horrific school shooting with deaths before this one. Awhile back, it was in the news that the victims were suing the United Way to get the money! When I donate, I want it to go directly to the victims, not to some charity that "knows best" and has highly paid employees. JMHO

Meanwhile, Somalia gets $1.5 bil.
