          They could just block up those rooms. Let's just knock the entire building down so everyone can forget what happened easier.

                  They're 8 through ten, its entirely about virtue signaling for these city councilman and police officers.

                    yes, as we know between the ages of 8 and 10 you can't be retraumatised by returning to the scene of your friends deaths every day

                      Alternative schools are a good idea for the kids who were affected, but it makes zero sense to knock the building down.

                        You're being pretty obtuse. It was a massively traumatic event for the whole community. No one will want to return to work at that building or return to school there after what they experienced first or second hand there. Have you heard of agoraphobia?

                        All the kids were effected. It doesn't matter if you were just in the building when this happened or if you were in a classroom that was targeted directly. There's probably not a single kid in who was in the school that day that isn't traumatized to some significant degree. Alternative education for all of them is probably not a realistic option. Building a new school however seems to be a reasonable option.

                          but what about in 5 years when literally no child who attended that school will be in elementary school anymore

                          we might be wishing we had a suitable building for a school. this is literally just wasteful

      The cops definitely killed at least one kid

      What makes you say that? I must have missed this red pill

        Iirc the chief of police made a very unprompted statement that none of the kids were killed by cops.

        There was audio of a kid saying they got shot and and I believe it was agreed upon that the gun used by the shooter would have made them unable to speak. A cops handgun though...

        They also lied at first and claimed the shooter had a rifle and handgun, then changed it to just a rifle later

      Love to have so many mass shootings that there's a standard practice for how to handle the aftermath
