Vicious Beating Outside National Zoo in DC
4/25/2011 | Piperpilot

Posted on 04/25/2011 3:19:53 PM PDT by piperpilot

On my way home from work tonight, I witnessed a mob of approximately 50 teens beating another teen and kicking him in the head right in the middle of 6 lanes of rush hour traffic on Connecticut Avenue just outside the National Zoo. It was terrifying. They left the victim lying in the middle of the street. He eventually stood up and was clearly dazed as he tried to walk. Eventually someone called him to the sidewalk and he managed to stumble away. Police were called but the traffic was simply too heavy for them to be able to catch up to the attackers. I doubt that this attack will be reported in the news. It was Black Family Reunion Day at the National Zoo.

Life in Our Nation’s Capitol, or, as I think about, our National Zoo. He is lucky he didn’t get run down.

Hmmm. Why am I not that surprised?

DC contains many disparate factions of disfunction. Stay away is good general suggestion.

That is to say a few thousands saw the beatdown and NOT ONE stopped and helped? I would'a twisted my vehicle across three lanes of traffic and have gotten every dang car to stop in order to get the direct attention needed to quell the mob.

Traffic was at an absolute standstill in both directions so he was never in any jeopardy of being hit. I was petrifie that the mob was going to startnattacking people in their cars. Never have I wished that the District would respect my Second Amendment rights more than I did this afternoon.

This may have been a variation of the airing of grievances.

That’s exactly the time that I was there. Must have carried over into the street when they got kicked out of the zoo.

Maybe Atty General Holder should start being held responsible for these attacks.
