At least, the salt trucks would have slowed him down. The guy was motoring. Agree they may have slowed it down, but if, for whatever motivation, someone is hell-bent on doing something stupid, they will find a way to do it. But physical barriers like the trucks may give him a chance to pause & think about what he is fixin' to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just depressing to think about. Everyone here saw ourselves in those band members if you watched the same video as me. It hit home even harder for me because I am from New orleans and along with mardi gras parades our band would do about five of these a year. The thought never occurred to me that some psychopath would start mauling us with a car, and that was about fifteen years ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, in all the parades I’ve been in between band and drum corps, that was the worst thing I ever saw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Corps Guy Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I have waited to respond to this since I actually knew one of the "Dancing Grannys" victims. It was Tammy's first parade with the group. Tammy was the daughter of a very good friend at my church during my formative drum corps years. She was also a member of my church youth group my senior year of high school. Just a few weeks prior to this incident, I was in Chicago and saw the Halloween parade. They had every cross street blocked with trucks. Having marched hundreds of parades over the years, I would like to think that these events would be better protected. Unfortunately, if someone is hell bent on doing damage, they will find a tool, and a way to make it happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard that in all the security training (from protecting personal info to active shooter and anti-terrorism) I’ve had over the years. Not going to be able to stop it but there are ways to make it harder and ways to protect yourself. Sad part is number of people who think “can’t stop it, so why bother” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
