In the aftermath of a fatal shooting at Utah Valley University that claimed the life of Charlie Kirk, nearly two hundred witnesses — some present on campus, others who encountered footage through their phones and feeds — have filed for victims' compensation benefits. The event raises an ancient question in a new form: where does harm begin and end, and who is owed recognition for what they have been made to see? As violence now travels at the speed of a share, the circle of those wounded by a single act has grown too wide for the old frameworks to hold.

Households may face higher insurance premiums and taxes to fund expanded victims' compensation programs; increased demand for mental health services could strain availability and raise costs for psychological treatment.
