It'd downright absurd that stuff like this is happening, and will continue to happen.
Absurd retaliations follow absurd actions, I guess.
Sure, but if we're speaking about punitive damages and emotional distress, which we are, then someone's death rather dwarfs what these people went through. This doesn't minimize what they experienced, it puts it in context. A woman who is kidnapped and repeatedly raped suffers exponentially more than these people, yet I've never heard of a settlement for such a case coming anywhere close to this ridiculous figure. It's stupid and there's no defending it when compared to the impact of other crimes on the victim.
