Zebras Are Running Loose Around D.C. and That Is Not the Weird Part
Red State ^ | September 10, 2021 | Brad Slager

When you deny involvement when there is no crime, you sound suspect.

Things have become completely unhinged in the nation’s capital, so why not add to the mayhem? For a few days now, it has been a story of mild interest in the area that five zebras have escaped from a compound where they had been kept. They have reportedly splintered to evade capture, with one trio running off and the remaining duo taking a different escape plan.

It’s the kind of nonsensical story that is basically welcomed, what with the world in complete disarray from the border, to the White House, to Afghanistan, and even our banks, as the economy continues to meltdown, to say nothing of our own President Softserve calling to override the Constitution on the regular. Hell, a small herd of black-and-whites on the lam is a far more tolerable piece of news worth following.

But if this is considered a weird story (as a Floridian I am unsure, as our measure of weird is far higher than most) but there is a component to this one that has arrived that certainly raises the stakes. As the days of freedom unspooled, there is now the arrival of a new aspect to this story, and if anyone comes up with a cogent explanation, I am receptive to interpretation. While some are curious how this escape transpired we have a federal politician arriving to clear her name.

D.C. Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton has released a statement today, and it is the kind of thing that requires more questions to be asked. Norton’s release declares boldly that she denies any involvement in the release of the zebras. ...". . .

I know a tiny town in Texas where a woman keeps a few zebras. They are interesting animals. She has a very sturdy 10 foot chain link fence to hold them.

A Zebra can stand right next to a 6 foot fence and jump it without taking a step first. They are very powerful animals and nothing to fool around with.

Zebra’s don’t have to wear prison stripes. They are already dressed like the disenfranchised American people.

You can mate a zebra with a donkey and get a hybrid known as a zonkey. There has to be a joke in there someplace.

I also must declare publicly at this time that I had nothing to do with setting zebras loose in Washington DC within the last six months.

One has to wonder - why were they never domesticated? If they are so strong and so hardy?
Maybe they don't get along with people so well?

Zebras would be fine - Look at the number of idiots who own full size Tigers. One moron meth dealer in Indiana thought it would be a good idea for a Tiger to guard his drug house.

I like my zebra well done. Not so much done you can’t see the stripes but where they are just barely discernible.

I think that like Buffalo, they don’t domesticate.

There are quite a few people in cemeteries who thought their big cats were domesticated.
