So he scouted locations in Chicago and Boston before settling on Vegas. Chicago was Lollapallooza. Assuming here it was Boston Calling, which actually moved this year from Government Center downtown (surrounded by dozens of tall buildings) out to Harvard Stadium where there really aren't many around. That move might have inadvertently prevented a shooting here.

I assumed one of them would have been Giraffes. 

I am taking the family to a fall festival at an Amish farm with Giraffes this Saturday!

Watch out, those fuckers can bite! I was bitten by a giraffe AND a camel at a zoo when I was a kid.... I have since boycotted zoos, lol.

We have passes to our zoo and they let the kids walk up and feed/pet the giraffes. The wall is about shoulder high to them with a 3-bar type fence for them to poke their heads through or reach into and pet. Never pictured anyone of them biting. But does explain why you hate zoos so much.

Actually it doesn't. I hate zoos so much because I don't believe in keeping wild animals in captivity. There is an alternate solution for every single justification that people use for zoos. The biting incident simply made me aware of the fact that zoo animals sometimes bite .... not that I blame them! I'd probably be biting people too, if I was stuck in there with people gawking at me all day long!

I have no issues with zoos. Wild animal parks are better, but at least here the animals are treated very well (for the most part), don't have to worry about their young being eaten alive, and like our local zoo is also a place to keep injured animals that would not otherwise survive in the wild. They are also a place to help keep and breed endangered species. 
Pretty much every zoo I am aware of has an educational purpose too that ranges from field trips with kids, classes during the day for visitors and even higher held classes are held at some zoos. This information helps educate what damage we do to the environment by talking about about natural habitats, how a species became endangered to begin with. Many zoos even raise money or have donation centers to help endangered species. 
You can find lots of bad examples of animal treatment, but they have improved a lot, and there is good that comes from them.

Sorry to break it to you, but 1) there are many zoos in North America that in fact do not treat their animals very well or don't provide them with adequate habitats (well, obviously no zoo can provide a truly adequate habitat). But even in the very best of zoos animals are often depressed and can become mentally ill. How they socialize gets all fucked up too. As for this theory about the just being able to relax, lol.... Yes, well, being in prison could also be called relaxing because you don't have to pay your bills, cook your own food, or deal with the normal hardships of life, but I'm sure that doesn't mean you'd be okay with going to prison. Not even a white collar one. You are definitely throwing out all of the usual excuses used by zoos to stay in business (never forget that they are indeed businesses and don't want to go out of business), but again, there is an alternative option for every single point you made that benefit the animals more, and all the energy put into zoos could be redirected to other, better options, such as sanctuaries and preserves. That includes all the research and education factors.

Situation diffused.  Supposedly we'll have police on site from 2-4pm at every entrance just in case.

That's good! Wow, that's crazy. Do you know any details about the situation?

This woman is incredibly credible and smart when it comes to ISIS.  A lot of interesting things on her timeline.

Until we know his motive it can't be discounted. But...at least 3 false claims out of the fifty she recorded? This could easily be #4.
