The only way to stop a bad guy with a parade float is with a good guy with a parade float.
I heard it was the designer of the Hillary/Epstein float. “Nothing to see here!”
Was it a fully automatic float.. It so it should be band...
Wow
And how fast those things move?
Moving floats and drunks don't mix.
If there was a good guy that had a float, he could’ve prevented this.

Ok, life lesson. Never go where the N gather. Why? Because someone going to get killed, and it might be you or your family.
Man hit by float during Endymion Parade ; tandem floats cancelled all Mardi Gras 2020.
Speed bump
And was the person intoxicated?
It’s time. BanParades
Law enforcement officials were able to walk down the float's driver after they attempted to speed away from the scene at 3.2mph.
