NEWTOWN, Conn. — The Connecticut home of the man who carried out the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary school has been demolished, Newtown officials said Tuesday.
The 2-acre lot where the 3,100-square-foot house once stood in a leafy, suburban neighborhood will be left as open space under a plan approved by town officials.
Several neighbors had asked for the building to be taken down, describing it as a constant reminder of the tragedy.
Among them, Dave Ackart said in a letter: “Not only is the property a constant reminder of the evil that resided there – those of us who walk, run, drive, ride or otherwise must pass it multiple times a day, are having a hard time moving on.”

They demolished the house based on what the neighbors felt? Doesn't seem right to me?
No pictures of blood no ambulances no life flight helicopters? I dont know
Yes...very strange.
“When has that ever happened before?”
Numerous times.

I wonder if they burned all of his gay porn.
The Bates Motel is still standing. Nobody seems to want to bring it down. If one needs to be leveled it’s that damn Bates Motel.
Yeah, I didn’t realize that happened.
Something still feels really weird about this though.
"The property was given to the town in December by a bank that acquired it from the Lanza family. Since the shooting more than two years ago, the house stood vacant."
This means that after the boy and his mother were deceased, the home was either foreclosed upon by the bank (pretty likely in these circumstances) or the estate quit-claimed it to the bank in lieu of a pending foreclosure. The bank bought goodwill in the community by giving it to the town. IIRC, the boy and his mother lived there and the father of the shooter (divorced from the mother) lived somewhere distant. If the divorce deeded the property to the mother, and she refinanced, or used it as collateral for loans, or simply had a lot of debts in her estate, there may have been negative equity in the house, or no net equity in the estate. The executor or administrator of the mother's estate may have just let it go into foreclosure, or actively given it back to the bank to save time.
Emotional non-thinkers.....
Superior jerks.
Pumped up on Internet nonsense, these losers stalk the parents of the murdered kids online and in-person, telling them that they're "actors" and their dead kids "never existed".
One of these scummy bottom-feeders put up a thread of their BS at FR a few months ago.
It didn't last long.
No paper trail for the mandatory biohazard cleanup as required by law.
Yeah, Sandy Hook was/is weird.
After Megan Kanka, for whom Megan’s Law was named, was killed in NJ, the house where she was killed was razed, and the space turned into a park. I believe her family still lives across the street, but I don’t think any of the neighbors wanted that house there.
Sandy Hook had been closed for years. The whole thing was a coordinated drill that went "live."
Sandy Hook Truthers speak well of you, though.
I’m not a Sandy Hook truther. It just seems bizarre to me that they are going around demolishing schools and houses.
Constant reminder?
How about a cemetery?
Or the white hut?
