Wow they really have an event called "black family day" or is that your own personal twist to the headline?

African American family day

Your link doesn't say it is either one. Seems like the National Zoo has an Easter Family day when this happened but it didn't mention anything about black or African American.

Do I miss where it said that, or are you just lying to embellish news items to make your thread more interesting?

involving young men and women who visited the zoo during the family day that has brought black families to the zoo for a century.

From that line, it may be safe to assume that the Zoo has a day set aside specifically for black families.

National Zoo attracts families on Easter Monday - The Washington Post

In a shift from years past, the National Zoo expanded the focus of the day, which has been a tradition in the city’s African American community. The event was officially billed as “Easter Monday: A Washington Family Tradition.”

“In earlier years, there used to be a lot more stuff going on. I saw the sign today, and it didn’t even mention the African American celebration,” said Laurel Brooks, who has attended the celebration many times. “This used to have a lot of meaning. But I guess they’re trying to expand it for everyone.”

It seems that this is the first year they didn't specifically target Black Families for Monday following Easter and that some of the Black Families didn't appreciate it.

There is an actual segregationist event at the Zoo called black/African-American/negro/colored family day. And this isn't the first time it involved a shooting.
It's about as chaotic as Father's Day.

Washington DC has a very high black population, it is safe to assume something called Family Day will bring lots of black families.

Here is their web page for it, nothing about blacks: http://nationalzoo.si.edu/activitiesandevents/celebrations/easter/

Either way it is irrelevant. Had nothing to do with what happened.

I'm going to guess that the only shootings they have at the zoo are during this event

It is the price we pay for a second amendment.

An occaisional shooting is a small price to pay for the safety that guns afford us

A well thought out post on your part. You do a fine job of representing the gun rights crowd and why they should be armed

I am going to guess that is the only shooting they ever had there. You wanna take that bet?

 

[novasteve]

If you read the articles there have bee. Three shootings at this event in the past 14 years. In 2000, 6 people got shot.

 

[Politico]

So you are taking the bet. They were shot because they were black. Prove it.
