Yeah, that's what people who were there were saying yesterday. Like the dude kept honking and bumping into people with his car or something. I've kept putting off joining in on the walk, so I'll be peeved if that was the last one.

Dude was an idiot but the crowd were bigger loving idiots. Dude was deaf and probably starting to get uncomfortable being swarmed and the crowd basically had no understanding or thought about letting traffic by at any point so gently caress them, really.

If you're organizing a big walk and don't plan/coordinate where you plan to cross roads then you hosed up.

Pedestrians involved weren't part of the zombie walk. The actual zombie walk has police escort up front and were given explicit directions to follow traffic laws and poo poo by the organizers. This is tragically an incident involving idiots and assholes that has now ruined an apparently innocent thing as the ZW people already cancelled a walk on October and next year's walk on Comic Con.

Pedestrians had right of way as it was a crosswalk it getting on the hood and stopping in the crosswalk was a really stupid thing to do.

Dont the pedestrians have cross/don't cross lights that the have to obey? It seems like it was just nonstop crossing from what I read.

Looks like a 3-way stop T intersection with no lights so technically I believe pedestrian crossing always have the right of way. Problem is when you have hundreds of people crossing. I actually have to deal with this semi-frequently if I'm visiting a job site on a big campus (OSU) during classes. You have to sit and do nothing until 3-4 people decide to stop (making others stop) giving you enough of a window to pass. This is rare though as people generally don't give a poo poo. California laws may be different but intersections like that aren't really designed for that kind of (people) traffic.
