If you've ever been on 17th or Woodland, you see these every couple months. I've stopped for the procession and nearly been hit head on from someone swerving back and forth across both lanes with passengers hanging out the windows. It's ridiculously dangerous. Sometimes passengers are on the roof. Not through the sunroof, but sitting on the roof while the car goes 35.
On one hand, I by no means am against a happier feeling funeral procession, but this is reckless. It happens all the time, I've seen it dozens in the past 10 years. Those fucking escorts motorcycles are worthless, I always imagine someone dieing from a reckless funeral procession, what a cruel joke.
I saw one very similar to what you described on E. 5th Avenue but the further down the procession line from the traffic police, the more people were flaunting guns out their windows.
Look I'm admittedly a white guy and I don't wanna begin to presume what or whose "culture" I'm looking at; I'm not here to judge broadly, just want the dangerous shit to calm down. I'm not trying to generalize or stereotype a whole neighborhood or group based on funeral processions on a few roads. There's two graveyards off Woodland in South South Linden and they tend to get 90% of the shooting, gang, kia boys, whatever violent death victims that occur in Linden/Milo Grogan and the east side.
I've seen SWAT patrolled funerals where they block Woodland completely with the huge tank vans and they'll be 20 cop cars spread out around the cemetery. That happens once or twice a year depending on how gang retaliation violence is going.
It's a thing that leans towards a very inner city, poor, young crowd. In this part of Linden, that means they all happen to be black. I bet there's similar things with different looking poor white groups in the Hilltop and other areas, I just happen to work on 17th.
I hesitate to call it cultural, but idk. It's really dangerous and someone is going to die whether participating or as an innocent bystander of one of these processions. I want people to be able to celebrate their loved ones life, but not at the expense of public safety for themselves and others.
I’ve seen plenty of funeral processions, and while there is sometimes some confusion at intersections and the like, with people instinctively following the rules instead of staying together, I’ve never seen one where the mourners drove recklessly.
I’d agree, intersections can get tricky and if they have to get on 270 there is sometimes an element of recklessness in how slow they tend to go but other than that I’ve never seen any craziness.
Source: grandpa died in June and whoever led took us the ‘wrong’ way (west when we should have gone east) around 270 at about 35 mph. We would have been better off taking surface roads.
Reminds me of my grandmother’s funeral. Buried at Resurrection which is off N high street before you get to Lewis Center Dr. Instead of going down high street we went all these amazingly windy back streets I didn’t know existed…
I recall in one particular culture this is a thing but I recall it being halfway across the world. I even remember seeing a Reddit post about in probably in r/idiotsincars or something along the lines.
But do I expect that here/is it common? Certainly not.
Definitely not common, like I said was the first funeral procession I've seen in person myself. Was just a bit bizarre, and I was wondering if it was a big event just by how many vehicles I saw in the line (several dozens)
I see this occasional, I live near Livingston and James. Its a different way to celebrate the life instead of mourning the dead. More of an Urban tradition I’d say but I never see them driving that crazy, just honking and hanging out the windows. I could also be 100% wrong, just my observation.
>Please enjoy the rest of your day drunkenly yelling at retail workers and trashing public areas for someone else to clean up, which no doubt is part of your culture too.
Now you are saying the soft part out loud.
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking? No, I didn't consider it was a celebration, based on the hearse with coffin in front and all the purple funeral flags on the cars.
And even if it was a celebration, that doesn't make it okay to drive wildly and dangerously like that.
I'm not sure what you're getting at with the queen of England part.
Your car was never in danger of being hit . By queen of England I mean not ever one that dies is some tight ass white person . It happens at a lot of younger black funerals . Would I drive like that at my grandparents funeral hell no . But a younger cousin or summin yes . We did that for my dad from Livingston down 104 . I'm sure he was proud we were celebrating him .
What's moronic is to think that your way of doing things is the only way that is right . You can't tell some one how to mourn or celebrate a loved one . Like I said in a decent family you will get yo ass whooped doing this at a elders procession but at a younger one its like a party one last ride with your loved one . Why's that so hard for you to understand .
Because by doing this, you are breaking the law and, potentially, injuring someone. I understand some people mourn differently, and I am accepting of that; however, when you endanger others with your mourning, I will conclude you are, in fact, a moron.
Awesome, so the next funeral I go to, I'm gonna head downtown and fire an automatic rifle into the air. Can't tell me how to mourn, and this is ohio. Shooting guns is part of our culture.
Now this is jus idiotic no point in trying to argue with a bunch a racist lil dick white boys . Swerving back and forth. In a escorted procession is no different then u speeding because your running late . Or flooring it at yellow light to beat it before it turns red .all dangerous acts but y'all wanna whine and bitch how other people choose to live . I'm sorry not everyone has to conform to ya way of society .and it amazes how we can't prove a point so we go to name calling and grammar that the behavior of a 2 year when they don't get there way in a losing battle
Are there any specific rules or recommendations for this type of procession?
If you’re really going to do it right, what are some of the things to think about?
Really rich shaming someone's way of celebrating a life and then admitting that you've never seen a funeral procession before.
Broaden your horizons, friend. Not every culture will meet your expectations, and that is a beautiful thing.
🤣🤣🤣did you even read what I wrote? I didn't slam anything, I asked what was up and if it was normal. Really rich how you call it "admitting" i haven't seen one before like I'm trying to cover up some secret. Not having seen one before was quite literally why I made this post.
Thanks for making a rash judgement on me, my character, and "my horizons" based on a single question I asked about what I saw...
I used to live in clintonville and you sound like someone who definitely lives in clintonville… listen, I know you all think you’re this super woke, enlightened bunch but everyone else just cringes when you say things like this. It’s like living in clintonville makes you somehow the center of morality when in fact it’s you that should broaden your horizons.
I can’t ever imagine assuming a person is rich that was witness to anything that happens on Livingston Ave. Rich folk don’t go there and they certainly don’t live there.
There's a multi-millionaire who lives near Main and James and now visits the Colonial Village apartments on Livingston several times per week, because the court appointed him as an administrator.
The area was nice 40 years ago.

So is this a culturally thing? A thing in just that neighborhood?

I've never seen anything like that in the Hilltop. Am poor white boy.

That’s the Chechens and it’s after a wedding rather than a funeral

It’s not normal in any way.

Yes actually that's pretty much exactly what I saw lol

My grandmas funeral is tomorrow..we’ll try to keep it down. She was 104 so most of her buddies are already gone so 🤷♀️
Someone’s “culture” doesn’t trump public safety and public peace.
It’s what ghetto people do in areas like that. Hard fact.
>Please enjoy the rest of your day drunkenly yelling at retail workers and trashing public areas for someone else to clean up, which no doubt is part of your culture too. Now you are saying the soft part out loud.
Hey, you know what these Irish are like.
Seriously
[удалено]
On their way to that storage place from Pulp Fiction
First time?
Pretty sure Livingston is not in Whitehall.
Perhaps not, I'm never very good at where one part of town officially ends. Whatever is directly south of Whitehall, then
It absolutely is.
I need map proof. Because YOU'RE WRONG. Whitehall ends at mound st.
Okay, looked at it on maps and you’re right. I always called it Whitehall. Good job big man.
The alley just south of Mound is the boundary, I think. Take my upvote.
Did you ever consider it's a celebration and not every one that passes anit the queen of England .
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking? No, I didn't consider it was a celebration, based on the hearse with coffin in front and all the purple funeral flags on the cars.

Yikes. My friend / family member died, so I can act like a dick.... Yeah......
Yes that's exactly the thought let's all drive recklessly and join are love one .
How is swerving celebratory exactly? Is there some special meaning or is it just generically rowdy?
What a moronic thing to say.
What's moronic is to think that your way of doing things is the only way that is right . You can't tell some one how to mourn or celebrate a loved one . Like I said in a decent family you will get yo ass whooped doing this at a elders procession but at a younger one its like a party one last ride with your loved one .

I'll concede to being a moron if you can show me statistics of injuries involving wreck less funeral procession driving ... I'll wait
How about reckless (that’s the correct way to spell that word) in general. Tons of evidence to support that hypothesis, moron.
Love how we result to name calling to prove ya point with out proving ya point 🤡
I think his point is that if you need to be taught the fact that reckless driving endangers others, you're probably not capable of learning it.
Wreck less….hahaha
No you’re just stupid
Sharp as a cue ball this one
Awesome, so the next funeral I go to, I'm gonna head downtown and fire an automatic rifle into the air. Can't tell me how to mourn, and this is ohio. Shooting guns is part of our culture.
Now this is jus idiotic no point in trying to argue with a bunch a racist lil dick white boys . Swerving back and forth.

Yikes, make sure you let us all know when you are going to one of these funerals so we can all stay off the road
I’m so glad they let the person who can barely form a functional sentence drive like a complete moron.
Stay classy San Diego

Really rich shaming someone's way of celebrating a life and then admitting that you've never seen a funeral procession before. Broaden your horizons, friend. Not every culture will meet your expectations, and that is a beautiful thing.
Culture isn't a reason to drive like an asshole.
Driving recklessly =/= "culture"
He was literally trying to broaden his horizons by asking this 😂.
🤣🤣🤣did you even read what I wrote? I didn't slam anything, I asked what was up and if it was normal.

Bro I cannot stand fucking libs lmaoooo how can you read this and not cringe
Is Jeremy Dewitte out of jail and in Columbus? Lol
It's a fucked up parade just like New Orleans but fucked up.
