2. A lawyer tried to file a $100M lawsuit against the state on behalf of a survivor of the massacre. Supposedly the lawyer was soliciting the survivor families to see if anyone would hire him.
3. A Bronx woman posted on Facebook that she was related to a victim and received thousands of dollars in donations before being arrested.
I am baffled and outraged that people would do things like this especially after this kind of tragedy. Just what is going on with our society today???

of course the people you mentioned are idiots, but the bigger question is why our country seems to lead the way in mass killing tragedies. As a pharmacist, I believe that my profession may contribute. Due to the development of effective antipsychotic in the 60's, we now have many people out in society where before the drugs they would have been institutionalized. This trend has severely reduced the funding and staffing of many mental health facilities so we are less able to recognize mental illness when it occurs and less equipped to treat it. Please note everyone that this is not a comment about guns.
