Closing Parkland’s open wound: The dismantling of a crime scene

A piece at a time, it’s finally coming down. The stairwell he used to prep his weapon, then later to walk from the second to the third floor, is gone, torn out like a gangrenous limb. The classroom a teacher died to protect is reduced to rubble. Soon the whole building will be. We can never forget what happened here, any more than we can allow this site to remain as Parkland’s final open wound.
