I can see all sides on this except for the dude getting the rights to the shooters name and story. That part is pretty gross.
But I understand that the families of the dead want a symbolic nod to their greater loss. And I understand the guy who went through it and has to live a full life with probably terrible PTSD wanted to make that life easier / some degree of medical stuff. I think I side more with the families because that shit about the likeness rights makes me dislike the guy somewhat and think he’s a little shady. But again, this is borked from all angles.
