Meh. Didn't get enough people IMO.
Guy drives through crowd of people.
- Thread starter twista
- Start date
The crowd went hostile on him. Sat on his hood, his property, blocked him up completely, intentionally. I absolutely see nothing wrong there. That driver shouldn't be charged with any crime. If he does, simple, I was afraid of my life when the surrounded me and jumped on the hood of my car would be a solid defense.
The driver didn't hurt anyone. He honked multiple times and after the crowd went hostile on him, he still slowly pushed his way out of the crowd. Stupid people...
Plus, it is a public roadway. You can't just block a roadway unless permission was granted by the city / state.

yes, if the crowd went hostile on me, sat on my car, etc. like in the video, I am pushing my way through those clowns and calling the police to report the incident right away.
We'll I watched both vids and to me the driver is wrong. A guy sat on the hood of his car with his back turned away from the driver. Really people I wonder what you guys do when your at a car meet and someone leans against your car. No one there was threatening the driver or causing harm to the driver or the car. Just one more my time is more important then everyone else so make way for me guy. But keep defending a guy that did nothing wrong, but maybe we watched different videos.
This is a prime example of when the 7 "P"s should have been used. Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance. meaning if this is a sanctioned event, with such a large turnout, then why weren't the police there to block traffic like in any other parade? I'm not removing blame from the driver, or from the crowd. Common sense says you don't try to drive through a crowd of people, and it also says you don't sit on the hood of someone else's car, especially someone who is operating the car in a threatening or offensive manner.
This driver did seem to "push" his way into the crowd. I have been surrounded by a group of people in the street who blocked my car. I got two of them on the 5K clutch dump and would do it again in a heartbeat. I am not waiting to find out your intentions.
Driving a car through a crowd is assault with a deadly weapon. The only excuse for that is an immediate fear for your life, safety, and well-being of those in the vehicle. There were no physical attacks made towards the vehicle in the videos shown until after he accelerated through the parade. A 64 year old woman has a broken arm and I guarantee you she has lawyers chomping at the bit to represent her in a civil case which she will probably easily win.
The driver put himself in the situation of being surrounded by driving into a crowd. If he'd simply turned around he'd never been "threatened" or "surrounded". The crowd didn't approach and surround him, he approached and began to push his way through the crowd. He put himself into that situation and he's responsible for the outcome.

Driver needed a Hellcat. Nuf Said. "Look mommy, Zombies can fly"
You can't drive into a crowd and put yourself in that situation and blame everyone else. The crowd should not have blocked traffic like that, but the driver created any hostile situation that occurred by driving into the crowd that wasn't paying him any attention.
Form this article, it sounds to me like it was an official event approved by the city and just not a part of comic con. Just had poor traffic management from the people who created the event and the city.
Exactly
A crowd of people has no right to inconvenience and block access to certain parts of the city.
The crowd assumed that their zombie walk was more important than te rest if te cities daily commute.
They will probably think twice before making more self centered actions in the future.
Not to mention the multiple people screaming at the car from the sidewalk, one person yelling "F that car", and multiple people wrapping on the windows and windshield like apes. I'd feel threatened too. If they were wrapping on the windows there's a good chance someone tried a door handle or two as well. That's the point I would plow through that crowd too. The moment someone touches the door handle I'm gone. It proves intent on entering my vehicle. If the driver is smart they'll play it that way and get through this untouched. It's too bad they hit the an old lady and didn't run over the moron sitting on the hood.
Don't drive into a crowd like the idiot in the video and that won't happen.
But why run them over when you could just backup, and avoid them?
How can you physically harm someone with a motor vehicle and not receive some form of charge if the person in question was not violating traffic laws?

I wish somebody would drive a car into the movie theater to teach the folks ruining my movie experience.
If you stand in the road, you get run over.
If you talk during a movie, you get run over.
America needs to stop being soft on morons that only make society worse. LOL

After seeing what those assholes on bikes did...If my wife and daughter were in the car I would do the same shit. That mob mentality escalates rather quickly. You cant touch his ****ing car...or sit on it. WTF is wrong with you people defending those idiots. It's a street not a ****ing city park or sidewalk.
You think I am going to sit there and wait for a few hundred retards to cross the street? Ill honk..they don't move...I pull closer..you sit..hit..punch..tap..kick my car...you get ****ing ran over.
Get to safety and call the police and report what happened.

Watch the video again and ask yourself if he could see in all of his mirrors to do so. People were blocking both side mirrors, banging on his car from both sides, and I'm willing to bet he wasn't the only one stuck waiting there so someone was probably behind him. Forward was the direction to go if he really felt he was in danger. The guy waited for 10 minutes and nobody would let him through. I would have gone too when someone climbed on my hood and bashed my windshield in. Yes, they smashed his windshield but oh, the crowd didn't do anything wrong. Bullshit. They were just as much at fault as the driver who immediately stopped and got a police officer a block away.
