[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly this make me wary of taking my kids downtown and to zoo lights. I'm not even sure how you'd protect yourself when they are beating up shop owners. [/quote] You don't need to be afraid, just be street smart. Keep your eyes open and don't go to Zoo Lights or Gallery Place when there are going to be a ton of troublemakers (after 8pm, summers, holiday weekends). If you see a big crowd of kids, move on. (In fact, just avoid big crowds altogether.) I've moved my kid from subway cars before because I don't like who's on them. We will go to zoo lights this year, but probably from 4:30-7 on a weeknight. TBH, my biggest fear is those d*mn firecrackers. I have a very reactive stress response, and if I hear firecrackers in a crowded place or on the Metro, I would seriously freak out. I think my kid is much more likely to get hurt/scared in a stampede than in a shooting. [/quote]
