Home of Sandy Hook Murderer to be Razed

Story

Good.  Honestly, I wish they would've done this sooner, and I completely side with the residents and families of the victims who have been saying they'd like to see this done.

And a giant WTAF to the tourists who drive by there and take pictures of the house.  Seriously?  That disgusts me, because it feels disrespectful to those that lost their lives, and it gives attention to that scumbag.

Who on earth is wanting a photo of this house?! JFC. People are awful. I don't blame the town for wanting to tear it down. I hope it brings closure to some people. How sad that kids were afraid to be at their bus stop

Also I could never personally live in a house where someone had been murdered so it isn't as if the town would ever be able to sell the house to anyone. Even more so in this instance because Lanza's crimes were so heinous. When we were looking for houses in VT we found one for an amazing price. We were so excited ... until we found out the reason it was so inexpensive is because the owners couldn't sell it because the previous renters died in the house (murder-suicide by the husband).

I told DP I was glad they were doing this. I even said, "I don't know why anyone would want to live there again."

And then I realized there are sick people who WOULD want to live there.

But I'm glad they're tearing it down.

People are insane but good on them for tearing it down. Wonder why it too so long.

Disgusting that people are using it as a tourist destination. Maybe they can make the property into a community garden or something.

Fucking good.

My FMIL lives in CT, near Newtown, and knows one of the families who lost a child there. Absolutely heartbreaking.

And not a fucking tourist destination. For crying out loud, the guy killed a bunch of BABIES. Babies who were my daughter's age. Fuck him.

(I have strong feelings. LOL)

Good.

I'm surprised it hadn't been done already. Glad it's happening now.

WHY would someone want a photo of that house? Sick, sick people. I'm glad they are tearing it down. The same thing happened here in Ontario where a young couple, Paul Bernado and Karla Homolka raped, tortured and god knows what else to 2 teenage girls inside their home. People were constantly driving by taking photos of the house. I just don't understand how people get off on something so tragic and obviously devastating to someone's family.

[NatashaBromanoff]

I do not understand people sometimes. I'm glad they're doing it.

Ugh, I can't believe people would want to visit that place. I also can't see anyone wanting to live there. Heck, I'm not even sure I'd want to live on a completely brand new house on the same site. Especially if weirdos are driving by it like it's a tourist site.
