Okay, I get it about the 'never forget' idea.

But...at the same time - locally we had the Paul Bernardo/Karla Homolka rapes and murders and the city wasted no time demolishing their house of horrors (and subsequently rebuilding an entirely new house on the property). Local citizens were relieved the place had been torn down - not wanting to be reminded of the crimes that took place within.

But definitely a strange story about installing 'cooling showers' at the entrance. Like, nobody thought this was not the best idea from the beginning?
