In my opinion, if they want retribution, let them figure out how to get it. (I'm comparing this to the "ambulance chaser" lawyers who encourage people to file a lawsuit "cause they deserve $$$$ for what they went through". When I had my car accident, yep it sucked and I deserved a car to replace my totalled one, but I don't think I deserved a million dollars.....it was just an accident. If I want more $$, I'll let ya know!)

It has nothing to do with whether or not they deserve compensation. She's more upset at the prospect of a lawyer filing a suit on behalf of someone who may not want it....kinda like the anti-death penalty advocates who file for someone on death row who has decided he doesn't want any more appeals and just wants to get it over with.
She never said they DIDN'T want money or compensation, only that if they do they need to pursue it themselves.
