Ridiculous. I'm not going to waste any more of my time replying to you.

The fact that Jones did do something wrong after all are what opened him to being the nearest proximal vile guy with deep pockets to go after and take the brunt of what was dished out. The interesting piece here isn't that the victims got a check from Jones, it's that they got a blank check.
It’s not the parents who set the award. If you don’t think as a parent who has gone through hell not just once when your kid was gunned down in cold blood but then proceeded to have total strangers harass them on a daily basis would push for the most punishing award possible, you are pretty out of touch.
If you feel that award was not proportional to the damage, why don’t you pick a bone with the judge or jury? They are the ones who ultimately decided the verdict after all.
