Discussion: Newtown, Conn., Votes To Tear Down Home Of Sandy Hook Killer

I say let them make it a counseling center, a child guidance center, or a shelter for abused women perhaps. Designate it for some social good to serve the city and that helps a people somehow.

20 years of property taxes, at a ā€œno horrible things happened in this houseā€ valuation would more than eat any possible ROI. And, in my opinion, the notoriety will never die down.

I guess I’m in the impractical minority here but this makes psychological sense to me. To the extent it can, the town is erasing objects like buildings that are connected with the event. It’s the opposite of memorializing—it’s consigning the event to oblivion, like when they buried bin Laden at sea.

I read ā€˜somewhere’ that the NRA wants to buy it so they can erect a monument to a

notorious gun-slinger.
