[QUOTE=Riller;42540717]Sandy Hook will never be written into a world history book. It might have a footnote in American history, but it's certainly not something I'd classify as a 'historical' event.[/QUOTE]
Sandy Hook was the only thing the news or [b]anyone[/b] would talk about for weeks after the incident. My throat's still sore from people trying to shove the discussion down.
Based on that, it's probably going to get a bit more than a footnote.
When my dad's office was shot up he was back at work a week later.
As dumb as it sounds to be ignorant the US doesn't have the money to tear down and rebuild the school as an elementary superprison (because you really need cameras, timed locks bulletproof glass and media restrictions in a K-7 school). Things will return to normal in about a year and I bet $50 that in five years nobody in the community will even care that their kids go to an infamous school.
How many people actively care about Columbine almost 15 years on? How many still talk about V-tech outside of meme responses?
Are they expecting kids to start breaking down in PTSD fits when they find out people died there? I don't think most of them will even understand the gravity of the incident, much less what exactly happened until they are in secondary school and a bit more seasoned to violence.
Can't wait till someone leaks pictures from inside.
What do you think? They're demolishing it to get rid of the tainting reminder that would being PTSD to the people who live there.

So was Columbine. So was Virginia Tech. So was the theather shooting. They're all footnotes by now.
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;42541531]It is a site that the school faculty and the families of the victims of the massacre can hardly look at for the massive sense of loss it evokes, and the school itself is hugely outdated. This is a good thing. The new school will be much more modern, more secure, and will undoubtedly still honor the victims of the old school. There will likely be a memorial garden, statue, wing, or shrine devoted to them. The memories will be kept alive without being too stark for those who suffer from them, and the community at large will get a much nicer school. It's a win-win.[/QUOTE]
They might even have a room just for that
[QUOTE=Riller;42540059]I kinda think it would be the best idea to demolish it, when you got such a massive amount of casualties in such a small building. Pretty much every room you can enter, you can be "Oh, and this is where Lil' Timmy got a 10mm through his spine, leaving him to bleed painfully to death on the floor" "Oh hey, here we got the room where Sally got her back pumped full of 5.56 as she tried to jump out the window to safety!".[/QUOTE]
Not only that, the school is haunted as fuck now.
[QUOTE=Lurklet;42540707]Auschwitz is a historical event because it is in the past. This will be an historical event in the future. Auschwitz was once just a mass (mass) murder too.[/QUOTE]
What? that makes absolutely no sense. History didn't spontaneously happen when you were born as a background. There was a time when Auschwitz was fresh.
what if the shooting was orchestrated just to get the school redone by the Board of Ed?
[QUOTE=Riller;42540077]And before you go "Oh, if you think this should be demolished, then why not just demolish Auschwitz while we're at it, since we're tearing down sites of disasters?", Auschwitz was an actual historical event, where Sandy Hook was a simple mass murder.[/QUOTE]
is this a real post
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;42540075]Good thing they're demolishing it. It could be haunted.[/QUOTE]
Columbine is [U]supposedly[/U] haunted.

I don't even see anything in the first.
People comparing this to Auschwitz are forgetting a pretty important thing; people actually will have to return to Sandy Hook. I doubt they would rezone every student because of what happened, a lot of them would have to return to the building.
I'm genuinely curious to know why the contractors have to sign confidentiality agreements.

They probably don't want a media circus, or photos uploaded for alterations/likes on Facebook.

Either that, or what the bloke above me said.
