Car Plows Through Crowd Engaged in Zombie Walk--Who's Wrong? (1 Viewer)

[Bronx Bomber]

I wonder how the cars next to and behind the guy managed the situation without running anyone over?

If it was over 15 minutes cars proceed without any value of human life. Pretty sure that's a law.

this fishing attempt is weak.

"Drivers should generally refrain from mowing down pedestrians" is fishing now?

The entitlement of some people simply because they're behind the wheel. It's incredible.

Speaking of entitlement, how about the jackasses standing in the way openly mocking the family trying to get through and then sitting on the hood of his car as he tries to inch through.

No entitlement on display there.

right, Isn't that kind of like telling a kid to punch a bully in the face to make him stop? technically its wrong and the kid can get in trouble but it makes the bully stop

 

[HughHoney]

Seriously, inching through very slowly (maybe without the honking) is a perfectly appropriate way to handle a situation like this and does not warrant people jumping on his hood and trying to get in his car. I do it all the time at the end of football games, mostly because Candlestick is a ####### terror with poor/no traffic control. Nobody has ever tried to get into my car or anything, and I'm NOT going to just sit there like an idiot waiting for 70,000 other people to cross, nor should I have to.

Of course. You're in a car. You, singularly, are so much more important than the 70000 people also trying to get home.

Hyperbole. I (and other people who do it) can inch along without hitting anybody and people can still walk through just fine. Everybody's happy.

Unpack this a bit. Not sure who you are calling the bully in this case.

How can anyone blame the undead here?

Honestly, the same way I would blame someone for setting up their lawn chairs in the middle of the highway to watch the fireworks. How these people can just stand there in the middle of an intersection with their backs to the traffic so they can watch people in costumes walk by is stranger than the actual event.

They didn't read the memo and think it's a parade and the street is closed?

The street was not closed.

Now if the zombies were packing heat, no one would've gotten hurt...

 

[HellToupee]

I voted Zombies fault...Basically, I'm against anything that blocks traffic. If you're going to block traffic, you need a police escort and/or those big saw horse things to close off the road. You can't just decide you don't have to obey crosswalk lights because there's a bunch of you.

Further, if someone thinks they can start banging on someone's car, and even worse try to gain entry to it and expect the occupants to remain calm and not gun it, they're nuts. Even if the car driver started it by honking. You don't try and open someone's car door. If someone tried to get into my car and my kid was in there, I'd do the exact same thing. I'm getting away from the danger, and worrying about who I ran over later.

Seriously once they opened the door I'm gunning it

The people standing in the way mocking the car was who I was relating to the bully. But, I probably should have left this one alone, typed before thought. Knowing me I could see myslef waiting for a little while (30min maybe?) if I made the stupid move of getting caught that close and not turning around. But, I probably would have gotten myself in trouble or hurt if I was trying to get through and the people around me were mocking me and sitting on my car. I think I was imagining that while typing and not thinking of the other side of it for a second. The other option would have been to get out and direct traffic myself and have someone else drive

The entitlement of a group of zombies is much better, imo. They are undead afterall, what do they have to lose.

 

[butcher boy]

Expecting people to not act like idiots and sit in the middle of a street is not entitlement. Good lord.

I thought he was inching through the crowd at that point, then started plowing through. Big difference IMO

I saw this story yesterday and my immediate reaction was to place blame on the driver. It seemed like he was just being impatient and wanted to get going as soon as possible. Now seeing that the driver was deaf, had terrified deaf children in the back seat, feared for his life as idiots in costumes bounced on his hood and pounded on the windows, I have done a complete turnaround. When the flight or fight mechanism kicks in all bets are off. It's sad that someone was hurt and thankfully nobody was killed but I don't fault this driver one bit. If I thought my family's life was in danger I would have done whatever I could to get out of that situation as soon as possible.

My wife brought up a great point. What if the situation was reversed and the zombies were driving the car and the deaf people were pedestrians? If the car driven by zombies was following the deaf people looking like they could run them over or attack them at any time and the deaf pedestrians ran onto property marked no trespassing, should the pedestrians be charged with a crime? We both agree that they should not. If you feel your life is in danger there are certain times doing something illegal may be the right thing to do. Any reasonable judge would throw out the trespassing charges and we believe that the charges will be thrown out against the driver as well. If you want to dress up in a Halloween costume and scare the crap out of deaf children then don't be surprised if someone takes extreme measures to protect those children.

You saw the start of the video where he initiates contact with the crowd? The crowd is not threatening him or his family, there's nothing to be afraid of, if he can't properly convey that there's no danger, and to be patient, to his kids while behind the wheel he shouldn't be driving.You brought up the what if's so how about this. What if there were a family that was deaf in the crowd. He starts inching his way through the crowd, which initiates a confrontation he as not prepared for, and he plows over a couple of deaf kids.

They are just standing in the middle of the intersection laughing at the car. Some of them are not even crossing the street. It looks to me like the driver doesn't start pushing through until people are sitting on his hood and banging on his windows. All the driver did was honk the horn (if that was him) to alert these morons that they were standing in the middle of a real life intersection. Once someone opens the passenger side door and tries to do whatever it is they wanted to do to his family inside, all bets are off.Take a group of your friends and stand in the middle of a busy intersection. When a car starts honking it's horn go sit on the hood and pound on the windshield. Get some friends to bang on their windows and have another friend open the passenger side door and threaten the family inside. Honestly this situation could have turned out much worse.

Watch the video again genius. Crowd doesn't get rowdy until he starts pushing his way through it.

The crowd gets rowdy when he inches forward and honks his horn.

Exactly. The driver initiates the confrontation then plows people over when it doesn't go his way.It's crazy the power and entitlement people feel because they're behind the wheel.

He's honking his horn and asking the pedestrians to stop blocking the road and let them through. The reaction of the crowd to that was to sit on his hood, pound the windows and windshield and then open the passenger side door and confront the terrified deaf family inside. What if the reason he needed to get through the intersection was he was having an emergency pertaining to one of his children? I don't believe asking pedestrians to move out of the intersection so you can pass through is an over the top request. I will agree with others in saying that this was poorly planned.

We're just gonna disagree on this. Also you keep bringing up what if's and that's not happened. I think the driver was in the wrong. You don't.

lol. he is bringing up what ifs while you are mischaracterizing what happened.

Also- are deaf people legally allowed to drive?

No, he's driving through the crowd and people are starting to scream before the guy opens the door.

How do deaf people hear emergency vehicle sirens to know when to pull over?

Someone could argue they opened the door because it was clear this guy was going to drive through the crowd and they were attempting to take the keys out of the car.

This kind of stuff would never fly. The guy could just counter, "It was clear that they were going to do bodily harm to me and my family and I was just attempting to keep them safe."

Further, wouldn't it just be easier to get out of the guy's way if the crowd was that concerned?

If only there were places for people to stand around without having to worry about getting hit by a car.

But this guy is "deaf." This guy couldn't possibly say he heard someone say, "I'm going to kick your ###..etc" For all we know people were desperately trying to verbally tell him to wait until they could clear the road and this guy kept on moving forward because he was in a hurry. Their last resort was to pull the keys out before he could run over innocent people.

Yep.

Cheap lesson in this for all of us. We should be thanking the driver today.

 

[msommer]

Stand your ground by car. That's a new one.

If only the deaf guy could speak properly so he could have called the police...

People saying there might be a protest or whatever that may become violent obviously don't know what the situation was down here this weekend. Comic-Con weekend is a huge event in SD. There are something like 150,000 people who come to the Convention Center to attend the Con or any of the myriad activities that are going on in the gaslamp/east village area. There is no way this guy did not know what was happening. If he's a resident, he knows about it. Or else he is one of the attendees, and obviously he knows about it. Walking around on Saturday, I said to my friend that anyone trying to drive in this area was an idiot because it was nothing but gridlock everywhere. I guarantee there were thousands of cars who were sitting for more than "several minutes" trying to get to their destination or trying to get out of the area.

The guy in the black Venum shirt is one of my buddies. He was obviously acting like a dbag as were all of the other people who jumped on his car. But if this driver would have just exercised the same patience that every other car in the downtown area was exercising, nothing would have happened. As soon as he started laying on the horn, that's when you see the crowd react.

This is what I was thinking.

I've been downtown during Comic-Con and it is total mayhem. You always expect to get caught in some traffic, be it pedestrian, or vehicular. This "parade" blocking the streets doesn't surprise me at all.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

If the guy honking couldn't hear it, did it really make a noise?

Isnt that kind of part of the problem? The crowd should have reacted to the fact that they were standing in the middle of a freaking road.

Ya because people leaving a sporting event never have to cross streets to get to their cars. They leave the stadium, walk on the sidewalk, never cross a street, and BOOM they've reached their vehicles.

People leaving a stadium are typically smart enough to get out of the way. Just left Miller Park yesterday with 40,000 people there. There were people walking around everywhere in the parking lot and as I slowly approached in my car, along with many other cars behind me, they moved to the side. People made it to their cars just fine and myself and the vehicles behind me proceeded cautiously through the crowds without any issues. Amazing how that works with patient drivers and pedestrians who aren't #######s.

 

[TenTimes]

How do deaf people hear emergency vehicle sirens to know when to pull over?

Mirrors/visual cues and some cars have lights inside the car to signal the deaf driver if a siren is going off.

Seriously once they opened the door I'm gunning it

the door was opened after the guy ran over the 64 year old lady

 

[sublimeone]

I like a psycho running over a group of a-holes every once in a while. I consider videos like this a public service announcement.

 

[Rove!]

For the pro Zombie guys, is it okay if I gather a few friends go down and camp out in the middle of Main Street downtown and expect nothing to happen?

Just because you are in a group or in some convention or in a big bicycle pack, you don't throw laws and rules of the road out the window. HTH

So who's more in the wrong, people camped out in the street or a guy possibly causing loss of life with his vehicle? You can't be this dumb, you just can't.

who's more in the wrong, guy honking and inching his car forward or gang camp out in the street who jump on his hood, smash his windows and try to gain entry into the vehicle?

 

[Rove!]

So he's just supposed to sit there while these people commit crimes to his property? Just let them assault his family? Maybe turn HIM into a zombie? #### that ####. Game over man. Sucks to be you.

you should sign that on a card to the 64 year old woman who is in the hospital in serious condition.

the one dumb enough not to get out of the way in a gradually escalating situation?

 

[Rove!]

I wonder how the cars next to and behind the guy managed the situation without running anyone over?

If it was over 15 minutes cars proceed without any value of human life. Pretty sure that's a law.

this fishing attempt is weak.

"Drivers should generally refrain from mowing down pedestrians" is fishing now?

The entitlement of some people simply because they're behind the wheel. in a crowd It's incredible.

fyp

the zombies couldn't wait a few seconds to let some terrified kids pass through. How inconsiderate can they be?

You can explain it however you want. The guy hitting people with his car is wrong here.

If he ran over the dude who sat on his hood, or the jackass who opened the car door, I'd feel a lot better about the whole thing.

Those kids in the crowd weren't terrified when a car ran through a crowd of people? You're right. Those kids crossing the street were laughing, having a great time as some old woman got floored to the ground by a guy not capable of explaining to his children that it's people dressing up and playing pretend.

I wonder how the cars next to and behind the guy managed the situation without running anyone over?

If it was over 15 minutes cars proceed without any value of human life. Pretty sure that's a law.

this fishing attempt is weak.

"Drivers should generally refrain from mowing down pedestrians" is fishing now?

I don't buy "my kids were terrified" story. Police: You just ran over a crowd of people?

Driver: My kids where terrified.

Sounds better then "I'm an idiot".

Seriously, inching through very slowly (maybe without the honking) is a perfectly appropriate way to handle a situation like this and does not warrant people jumping on his hood and trying to get in his car. I do it all the time at the end of football games, mostly because Candlestick is a ####### terror with poor/no traffic control. Nobody has ever tried to get into my car or anything, and I'm NOT going to just sit there like an idiot waiting for 70,000 other people to cross, nor should I have to.

Of course. You're in a car. You, singularly, are so much more important than the 70000 people also trying to get home.

If only there were places for people to stand around without having to worry about getting hit by a car.

Ya because people leaving a sporting event never have to cross streets to get to their cars. They leave the stadium, walk on the sidewalk, never cross a street, and BOOM they've reached their vehicles.

So as I understand it, you wait until every single person reaches their car before you pull out of your parking spot at a sporting event. I got that right? Because you, singularly, in your car, are not as important as those 70,000 people also trying to get home.

So he's just supposed to sit there while these people commit crimes to his property? Just let them assault his family? Maybe turn HIM into a zombie? #### that ####. Game over man. Sucks to be you.

you should sign that on a card to the 64 year old woman who is in the hospital in serious condition.

the one dumb enough not to get out of the way in a gradually escalating situation?

No, I mean the elderly lady with the broken arm who was hit by the car.

Ya that's exactly what I said. You're not the brightest guy here buddy.

You're the one who originally took my example and twisted it to mean something completely different. you shouldnt really talk.
