[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only on "planet rationalization" can you call leaving a pleasant, free family themed holiday event, punching frozen yogurt owners in the face and stripping bare a 7-11 "normal kid behavior". Plus whomever then shot 2 more kids as part of their zoo lights outing was no doubt also a kid or young adult. Planet rationalization must be a really dangerous place if this is how the "normal kids" act. [b]What happens when they act out?[/b]![/quote]

Failure to discipline teen youth by Dads, Moms, Grandparents, Police etc greatly increases the odds of long term incarceration as an adult.[/quote]

Let's start at the beginning. Lack of dads in the homes greatly increases the odds of long term incarceration as an adult.[/quote]

Sure, but when that proverbial ship has sailed, what then?[/quote]

No kid is going to order tickets in advance or pay for zoolights.    By not having any requirements for admission, the zoo staff is inviting behavior as disgusting as the gorillas who toss feces at each other.  [/quote]

You’re an idiot.
You do know ZooLights is from November 29th to January 1st. 
What disgusting behavior happened Friday night?  How about Saturday night?  Last night?  [/quote]

They should just charge for ZooLights on Thanksgiving weekend. Kids were off of school for a bunch of time and needed something to do - that's why ZooLights had this craziness this year. It was a bunch of kids who had been off school for a few days, spending a bunch of time cooped up with parents/relatives, and then decided to meet up via social media.

Don't let anyone under 18 without their parents on the opening weekend OR require reservation of tickets. Just make the barrier to entry higher on Thanksgiving weekend. It calms down on the rest of the weekends in December.[/quote]

So why wasn’t there craziness last year?  What about 2017?  Were kids not off school for a bunch of time?  Were they not cooped up with parents/relatives and needing something to do for Thanksgiving weekend in 2016 or 2015?  Last incident of violence at ZooLights was 2014 and before that 2000.  If kids have time off for Thanksgiving every year why is the craziness at ZooLights not annual and only occurring only once or twice a decade?[/quote]
