Students will never be returning to Building 12 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School again.
Florida legislators said Thursday they will provide the resources to help the Broward School District tear down Building 12, the site of the massacre that killed 17 students and teachers. They want to build a new classroom space and replace the site of the murders with a memorial to honor the victims and their families.
“This building has to come down,” Sen. Bill Galvano, R-Bradenton, told the Miami Herald on Friday after visiting the school the day before. He said the horror was palpable.
“Everything was strewn across the halls from people running and dodging and there were significant blood splatters on the wall,” he recalled. “Like someone took a milk jug and exploded it.”
“These kids are not going to go back into that building ever again,” said Sen. Lauren Book, D-Plantation, who was with Galvano. She had encouraged Galvano and Sen. Wilton Simpson, R-Trilby, to travel from Tallahassee and visit the high school Thursday before attending an evening vigil for victims.
“We need to take a serious look at tearing down that building and build a facility that these kids could return to and be proud of,” Simpson said Friday. Early estimates indicate the cost of a replacement building is between $25 million and $30 million, he said.
“It will still be very difficult for students to return,” Galvano said. “But that particular building should be razed, and the memory of the perpetrator erased and a memorial honoring the victims and their families be put in its place.”
Broward Superintendent Robert Runcie told the Miami Herald on Friday afternoon he agrees that the building, which serves 900 students, should never be reopened.
“Parents and students have told me very clearly they’re not going to go back into that building and I believe they’re right,” he said. “In an ideal world there would be sufficient funding to do a replacement building at a different site on the campus and then erect a memorial on that location.”

excellent ……he was always spot on….miss him
Oh man, I wish he was alive and performing at the lobby of the movie theater that I work at. Some of the douchebags there may wake the hell up for once.

If THAT’S true… then there MUST be photos, right?
Yeah, remind you of something? Why was the secret service there a few weeks ago checking on safety? Why are multiple students talking about VISUALLY seeing more shooters? Why was a student walking with the unarmed perpetrator while the shooting was happening? The FBI did nothing because the FBI planned it. Insert code word to MK Ultra victim at the correct time of the OP so he claims responsibility……done. Priceless.
Now let us sit back and watch the libtards complain while it was their idea all along for gun free zones. Wonder why this doesn’t happen at the schools where there’s armed security? That’s truly a mystery…just like the Uber driver….. 🙂 BULLSHIT.

Hey, dirtnap, long time, no see.
Six miles away, eh? Sounds like a wake-up call to me.
As fake as Sandy Hoax?
Here is how we pay for it, tax the asswipes in DC $500.00 every time they tell a lie, should be paid for in 10 min.
Early estimates indicate the cost of a replacement building is between $25 million and $30 million, he said.
It’s a 30 year-old building that needs a paint job and a few holes patched, but it needs to be destroyed because there are too many holes where the alleged shooter never was.
Destroy the evidence and let the taxpayer pick up the tab, of course.
And the Jews have no qualms about sacrificing a few of their own. I’d like to see a list of students who didn’t go to school that day.
This was pulled off in this Jewish neighborhood because they need to deflect attention from the fact of Jews destroying our lives and this nation (another holocaust!!! Oy Vey!!) , and so they’ll have firm control over the situation for maximum political effect.
So should we tear down hospitals because of how many traumatic deaths occur there? Should we reroute or repave every highway because of the horrific accidents that occur daily? Should we pull all the headstones from our cemeteries because its too graphic of a reminder that we all are going to die..? The knee jerk response to the reality of our mortality whether sudden or violent or protracted seems to me an indicator of a societies unwilling ness to examine itself, the world that ,that society has created, and the consequences of it. RIP
Yep, here comes the payout shekels and the cover-up, just like Sandy Hoax.
Wow! I’m getting flashbacks of Sandy Hoax all over again. Imagine that. And it’s only been a little over 5 years.
