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?

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!

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
