[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]African-American Family Day at the Zoo is actually a lovely time for a morning visit because DCPS is closed.  The crowds of teenagers and sporadic incidents aren't an issue until late in the afternoon.  The suburban pearl clutching is laughable.[/quote]

Please stay out in Reston.  We hate to see you terrorized by "street kids."[/quote]

I live in DC and avoid the zoo the day after Easter. Does my voice count as legitimate?[/quote]

You are clearly one of the 'racist elite', not a realist who believes you should be able to live without fear of senseless violence.

So to these idiots? No, your voice does not count. To me? Very much so.[/quote]

+1000. I'm a transplant from another large city and work near the Zoo. I was appalled and terrified by the Easter violence last year and the ongoing episodes of these young thugs who started throwing things into traffic and blocking the Ellington Bridge on a few afternoons last April. There were a couple episodes where about 100 kids aged 14-18ish started marching towards Adams Morgan. One afternoon a huge fight broke out and kids were grabbing each others braids and punching and kicking each other. One cop had been slowly following alongside the pack and demanding "please disperse immediately" over the squad car bullhorn but one cop clearly couldn't control this crowd. I thought to myself, "somebody is about to die", and after my coworker called 911 a squadron of additional DCPD cars hauled up. Most kids were smart enough to GTFO but a couple ended up being chased on foot and arrested.

Decent citizens deserve better than this buffoonery and lawless mayhem.[/quote]
