What happens to the Uvalde school building?

Public officials and residents of Uvalde will have to grapple with a difficult question as the community continues recovering from last week’s shooting at Robb Elementary School: What should be done with the building where 19 children and two teachers were massacred?

Officials from the local to the federal level have expressed a desire to see Robb Elementary School razed and rebuilt, and federal money could help pay for a new school.

“I don’t think anybody’s plans are but to tear that building down,” Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin said, according to KXAS-TV. “I would never ask, expect a child to ever have to walk in those doors ever, ever again. That building needs to be gone.”

should fucking pay for the demolition. Or better yet, do it themselves with pickaxes.

They should have the shit sued out of them, and the money used for 1. Scholarships for every child and sibling in the U.S. affected by these evil school slaughters and 2. Pushing laws to finally, seriously regulate guns, gun owners, gun manufacturers and gun dealers.
