Passersby Struck by Car Amid Comic-Con Zombie Walk

For one thing, people should know better. Getting near a car that is moving or plans on moving is a sure way to get hurt. For another, hopping on the car and goofing off like that with a family inside the vehicle is just asking for trouble. Finally, the parade needed to be better organized. People can have fun doing that, but letting people wander around in an area where traffic is a bad idea. If anyone should get in trouble it should be the organizers of the event, not the driver.

Okay, that comment was NOT cool. The person commenting needs a serious education on Deaf Culture, and get some common sense knocked into him, and I'll leave it at that.

There are a lot of hateful people out there. Anytime someone deaf gets in the news there are nasty comments of that nature and worse.
And I think it is worse than it used to be. They feel very safe with the anonymity of the internet.
 
I can't believe that police had not blocked the street off so no cars could get through . Or A cop should had been to there to see that driver did try to drive through the Zombie walk . My city shuts down all the streets and have cops all over the place when there is any kind of event going on.
 
It wasn't official and had no permit, so they should be held accountable for their behavior.

The idea that they were jumping on the hood of the car is disturbing.

I agree; at least here in my community where I live now deaf/Deaf people are very welcome around Rogers Park, as there are quite a few of us around here, so businesses are used to dealing with us all the time, which is one reason I like it here.

I really think there was no needs to say the family was deaf , this has happen before with 'hearing' person driving into a crowd of people and it never is reported the driver was a 'hearing' person. Shame of whoever reported this story , they're making it look like deaf and hoh people are not safe drivers and this far from the truth .

Pretty much. I can understand them mentioning it if the accident was caused by whoever was driving didn't hear something. It had nothing to do with hearing, but about the antics of an out-of-control gathering of people who clearly forgot that cars are big, heavy, and fast, and had no business bearing near where traffic was.
