what should happen to Robb Elementary? [View all]

First mass murder in my memory (1974 San Ysidro), the building was razed and a memorial built. It seems less likely that buildings are razed these days. As I recall, Virginia Tech (32 dead) opted to keep all their buildings.



It sits out front along San Ysidro Boulevard with 21 white marble hexagonal pillars measuring from 1 to 6 feet tall.

But almost 40 years later, most people ignore it as or are simply unaware of what it represents they walk past it.

“I never heard of it,” said Jose Fernandez when asked if he knew what the memorial was about.
