I always wonder how I would feel in this scenario as other than viewing it as some form of terrible lottery winning, it just all seems even worse. There was no justice for what occurred and anyone that says government entities need to pay for when they do something like this, I’m not sure why you think anyone other than the taxpayers are footing this bill.
It just seems like a “better than nothing” scenario where the government pays victims off with the victims’ own money to go away.
