For serious, can we donate some of that to an anti-bullying organization please?

Also, the fact is anytime something unfortunate happens to a sympathetic character (or not so sympathetic -- e.g. Zimmerman) and it receives national media attention, they'll get hundreds of thousands of dollars from strangers. Probably a lot of these strangers are opposed to things like taxes and welfare and "socialized medicine." America is a very weird country. Seconded on wanting to know what Mike’s costume was.

I don't know how I feel about that. My gut says taxes shouldn't be waived. Even if she's a nice person. Taxes are still a good thing.

Seriously. I had to wear a collar after a car accident, and people intentionally shoved me into the lockers. Also, they used to tap me on the shoulder and then move before I could turn all the way around, but that's just mildly annoying. Shoving me into the lockers was freaking DANGEROUS. @Megano!

Kids are the worst, but that guidance counselor also kind of sounds like a jerk? Unless I'm interpreting the tone wrong, that sort of sounds like that teacher on The Simpsons going, "the children are right to laugh at you, Ralph."

Someone I knew from high school posted on facebook "Ironic home some of the people on my FB who are outraged about the Greece bus monitor incident used to bully me when we were kids." 2. I hope that she donates some of the money to an anti-bullying charity. Obviously she's under no obligation to do so but... I dunno, it would be a good thing to do. 3. It does fascinate me, and occasionally make me regain faith in humanity when news stories result in donations pouring in when shitty things happen. Two good examples are the girl who died running the London marathon this year (http://www.justgiving.com/Claire-Squires2- up to £937,000) and when a 9 year old girl's food blog was told she couldn't put pictures of her school lunches on (http://www.justgiving.com/neverseconds - £96,900). Obviously those cases are different and are examples of people giving to charity as a result trajedy/injustice, so actually I think I feel a bit differently about this one.
