This after many instances of attacks by teens in the metro, the guy beaten by teens outside of the hotel, and now this. Have fun paying a million dollars+ for a home in a terrible city.

Have fun in Ashburn.

DC is the safest big city in the world, according to some data.

Crazy. And aggravating. The zoo has been trying to increase security and close itself off from the neighborhood, and wants increased fencing. So aggravating that people likely not from the neighborhood are creating the ammunition for those m measures to go through.

Yes, it's crazy that People Not From the Neighborhood came to the National Zoo. It's crazy and aggravating that UMC white people can't have a sealed off bubble in NWDC where no urban issues, like crime or guns, intrude. How dare they do this to you!

You are 100% correct.

It really is aggravating that people who don't want to live in the midst of crime can't be sealed off in a bubble. You are damn right about that. Quality of life would be so much better if we didn't have to be exposed to the scum and filth that roams this planet. They contribute nothing and are worthless.

Wish we could just designate a country for these people, round them up and wall it off from the rest of us.

Lol. Probably more “scum and filth” in NWDC than in SEDC! Yes, let’s do the round up and see what happens!

P.S. I was too tired after all the company left Sat afternoon to make the ZooLights. Consider myself Lucky in The Burbs.

Are you familiar with the data?

Also, what’s up with all the Unnecessary Capitalizations?

You sound very familiar with statistics.

Keep telling yourself it's the safest in the world, "according to some data". Why do WDC city dwellers on this thread think it's okay to embrace violence and youth gangs, with a strong desire to keep out the suburbanites and gentrification? You can bash me, but that doesn't explain, why?

Op here

My thoughts exactly. I bet airport security goes up ASAP. We live 3 blocks from the zoo. This is incredibly scary that not even a family event at the zoo is safe in DC. The Mayor needs to get her act together.

The Mayor couldn't care less about NW.

Except for our tax dollars

Who is doing that? No one.

Please stay in the “burbs.” You’ll never make it in crime infested WDC.

+1. We don’t need your car here either

I'm the PP who made the remark last night on this thread about "people not from this neighborhood." I only meant to point out the implicit classicism/racism in some of the comments about the shooting. I wasn't endorsing violence. It's terrible that this happened at the Zoo, just as it's terrible when it happens in other areas of the city All.The.Time. It's also terrible that the racism on this thread has only gotten worse and more blatant.

Start charging their parents. If you are under 18 and you set of fireworks in a crowded area to cause panic, your parents spend a month in jail.

The most effective thing you can do to address gun violence in DC is:

Elect Democrats across the country.





A Republican Supreme Court struck down DC gun laws

And those Republican ideologues sit on the Supreme Court because gun-related identity politics gets white poeple in rural areas to vote for Republican billionaires’ policies.



Our gun violence problem is the fault of the Republican Party and the billionaire donors that control the GOP.

How do you feel about charging parents of white teens who don't lock up their firearms? Can we go after them as well?
