Benefit for Nowak (??)

Here's a tear-jerker:

A Florida restaurant holds a benefit for Astronut Lisa Nowak.

If this had been a guy stalking a woman with intent to harm or kill, would the good folks have been so caring?

A quote: "It seemed like the compassionate thing to do," said Janet Ritzi of Readfield, Maine, who's staying in Melbourne Beach on vacation. "Just as a human being, may we all be so considerate."

Unbelievable.

I hope they at least sent Shipman a card.
