[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is so much wrong with OP's position that I don't know where to start.

My research found two other incidents of violence associated with this event -- in 2000 and 2011.  The shooting this year happened not at the zoo, but near the zoo, in front of a Starbucks.  I recall that three people were murdered in a Starbucks in Georgetown in the late 1997.  I also recall that in 1999 a young attorney went to the DuPont Circle Starbucks and was found dead three days later.

So within a similar time period, we have three acts of violence near this zoo event and near DC Starbucks. I don't think we can conclude that Starbucks store attract violence based on this information and I don't think we can conclude that the zoo event is responsible law responsible for attracting violence.

The zoo reported they had approximately 20,000 visitors yesterday.and OP is ready to end a 100 year old event based on the possibility that the shooter and the victim, 2 out of a possible 20.000 people, were in the neighborhood because of the zoo event.

OP also seems to believe  that but for Jeff deleting a few posts, the National Zoo would stop holding an event that has happened every year for over 100 years?  [/quote]

Holy false equivalency alert, batman!

I'm far from a right winger, but it's silly that we are all supposed to pretend that A-A Family Day at the zoo isn't exceptionally violent. I am sure all of you folks are planning to show up with your kids in tow next year, right?[/quote]
