How San Francisco!
That said, while I think these “kids” (the oldest being 23, that is, not a kid) were jerks, the zoo is in big trouble.
Personally, I think the Diwahili brothers were trying to freak out the teenager who actually got killed, perhaps by threatening to boost him into the cage or something similar.
However, the zoo had had other complaints about the tigers leaping the moat and charging people who weren’t even tempting or taunting them, and the management had not responded or had just shrugged.
In 1999, a woman had a tiger leap the moat because her 4 yr old was bouncing around at the fence. She screamed and drove the tiger off, and then went to get a keeper, who told her that the tiger in question was a b***h and did that whenever it could, and he couldn’t do anything about it. The woman wrote a letter to zoo director that was never answered.
If the zoo gets sued, SF deserves it. The tiger facility was built in 1948, and they fired the guy who was going to redesign it in the 80s.
Brothers Who Survived Mauling Hire Mark Geragos and Plan to Sue San Francisco Zoo

"There are some very disturbing facts yet to come out about what happened," Geragos told ABCNews.com. "One of the brothers had absolutely no reason to be attacked. After Carlos was attacked, this brother ran to the zoo café and they would not let him in. The same guys who sold him nachos wouldn't let him back in. They locked the doors. Thirty minutes later, he was attacked by the tiger."
According to those logs, firefighters and police officers were forced to wait outside for as long as six minutes by zoo security guards enforcing an emergency lockdown.

A prostitute you only have to pay if you receive "satisfaction."
Aacck! No photos! I saw the headline, closed my eyes as I clicked and did a Great Carnak prediction: “Gotta be Gera-gross!”
By golly, wish there were a prize to win.
Geragos makes me ill
I figured they’d hired John Edwards.
How many cases has Geragos won? I can't think of any.

hahahahahahahahah! The Mark Geragos who made a fool of himself in the Scot Peterson case? High profile, low performance! He must have paid those stupid brothers to take him on. hahahahahahah!
Winona - convicted; Peterson - convicted; Jackson - acquitted but disgraced. Has Geragos won a case lately?
If I was on the jury, I wouldn’t give them a single cent.
Cha Ching
Good, Geragos the IDIOT almost always loses his high profiles. This is great news for the zoo and the poor tiger.
That sure didn’t take them long.
All they deserve for tormenting that tiger is what they got.
