[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]From the WaPo article:

"Zoo officials had expelled about three dozen rowdy youths minutes before the shooting Monday, and D.C. police said a crowd of about 100 young men and women had converged near the front gate about that time. Within minutes, two shots were fired, injuring a 16-year-old and his 18-year-old friend."

[b]Looks like our poster(s) who have been saying the shooting was related to attendance at the zoo was (were) correct....[/b][/quote]

How can you say that?  The article also says this, "Authorities also don’t know whether the shooter was among those expelled or if the person had even been in the zoo."

This is not something that should be treated like a debate topic in which each side tries to score points selectively choosing facts. That is simply divisive and not helpful to finding a solution.

Are you really this dense? WOW, WHAT A COINCIDENCE! Someone gets shot after 36 rowdy youts (correct spelling) and about 100 young men and women converge near the front gate of the Zoo and it just happens to be this random straggler at the Zoo for no other reason than to just randomly shoot someone. Wow, just amazing. What were the odds?[/quote]

You should join the police force. You would have this case solved by now. The two guys who were shot were apparently never inside the zoo. Why would you assume that the person who shot them had been?

Whether or not the victims or the shooter had been IN the zoo is irrelevant.  If they were in the area because of the festivities at the Zoo, the shooting IS  thereby RELATED to the event at the zoo.  IT IS PART OF THE WHOLE PICTURE.  You can not just separate out bits and pieces and call it unrelated.  [/quote]
