Neighborhood Demands Explanation
The folks over at SothwestChicagoPost.com want to know what the hell happened at Ford City Mall Saturday:
- Ford City Mall, you owe us all an explanation.
The people of the Southwest Side (as well as nearby suburbs) want to know what exactly happened at your shopping center on Saturday, February 23, and why.
Police and others in authority are describing scenes of fights, looting and more---both in the mall and spilling onto adjacent areas.
- ~~ How many mall security officers were on duty when the situation got out of hand?
~~ Did you have extra mall security on hand that day? If so, how many?
~~ Did you alert Chicago Police in advance? How about the Burbank, Bedford Park, Hometown and Oak Lawn PDs? If yes, how far in advance? If no, why not?
~~ In light of what occurred, do you plan to apologize to Ford City customers, Ford City business tenants, the people who were injured (including a CTA bus driver who was taken to a hospital) and the tens of thousands of men, women and children living in the immediate area? If so, when do you plan to make that apology? If not, why not?
They also have a few YouTube videos posted, most uploaded by the miscreants who caused and participated in the mayhem. Big surprise, it appears that gangs were involved and Facebook/Twitter was used to coordinate the nonsense.
We don't think they're going to get any good answers though.
In related news, the Ford City Mall has cancelled scheduled appearances by the Vienna Boy's Choir and the touring company of Swedish Handbell Ringers.

Don't worry, the Vienna Boys Choir will be at the Symphony Center at Christmas time.
Hey Ford Ceety, you have some 'splaining to do!!!!
Same band was in 018 tonight.
Brass had everyone except USMC there.
Everything was controlled---don't upset the gold coast no matter what....
In case you missed it. Here's the group throwing chairs at cars outside the mall (youtube)
What they really need to do is ban Pilgrims and Swedes. They're the biggest problem. Just ask McDrunk and his socialist bosses.
It's a full moon. Let the howling commence.
Ford City is in the ghetto and they want to know what happaned....really wake up Ford City is a Ghetto Mall and has been for years.
what happened was you had a bunch of filthy ghetto rat savages bring their brand of civility to the ford city mall--- they get everything for free and they still can't behave--- even a dog is grateful when it gets fed twice a day...
Just another Mall gone down the tubes. River Oakes Mall...Sears is closing in June on the heals of Carson's .
You tube, (Teen Mob Riots At Chicago Mall!) to see mobs of "youths" attacking passing motorist.
two of the BEST videos were quickly removed from youtube. they showed the true numbers of savages and what they did. what also bothered me was why only 16 total arrests. all those police and only 16 arrests. shameful if you ask me that more police didnt take police action. when you dont show the savages that this type of action wont be tolerated, they will just do it again and it will only get worse by even more numbers, more mayhem, more property damage and more violence next time.
Way overblown...as one kiosk owner was quoted..."just kids acting like kids"
If Best Buy was trashed, where is BB management speaking out?
If Wendy's was trashed, where is Wendy's management speaking out?
Where are the families whose vehicles were trashed while they and their kids were in them?
Never happened....la la la la, can't hear you.
Until victims start coming forward the media will continue to ignore this behavior. Good luck to the local paper, but the only response they can expect is to be called racist for questioning the behaviour of these misguided utes
where was our so called gang intelligence officers, not one from any district picked up on those tweets or facebook messages. I know they was to busy putting together their merit packages.
In the land of gimmes, takers and general Democratic voting base, the writing is on the wall for all to see if they ever open their eyes.
THIS is what Democratic pandering to the scum of the earth produces. THIS is what giving away a city to the dregs of society by deliberately attacking and belittling your own police department will accomplish.
THIS is the Democratic voting base now.
Any TAXPAYING Democrat needs to wake the fuck up and see what they're elected scumbags are doing to their own city.
Time to turn Republican folks, because it's the Democrats who've destroyed this state and city with the idea they'll just take it all out on state and city employees until there's no more left to give.
And that collapse is coming far sooner than you think unless you get rid of these fucks in the next election.
Poorly run! There were a bunch of sgts yelling out orders, one that kept turning down cars coming from other districts instead of taking them and handling this correctly with about 100 arrests minimum.
I knew it! I've always said you have to watch closely those out of control Swedes and Scandanavians.
What happened is very simple. Uncivilized savages! On a side note it's funny how rapers have rolling gun battles and kill each other, but you never see county bands, rock, etc. etc. doing this. Strange. The Ford mall was similar, but without the gun battle.
YouTube is removing many of the videos. Hope someone was able to make a hard copy of the antics
It was not the fault of Ford City Mall. Put the blame on the savages who caused the mini riot. The savages who act live zombies on crack and have no remorse for the action they take.
The Swedish Handbell Ringers kick ASS!
..the Trapp family singers were also told. Don't bother getting on the plane in Salzburg..
That mall needs a dose of the blue brothers...
..the lady's Curling club from Wisconsin is giving a demonstration at United Ctr...the crowd should be respectful..wouldn't you think.
See the videos. A group of people should be judged on the content of their character. Yea right. Morally loathsome.
The answer is that there is no answer.
God help us!
mall cop Paul Blart had a time due slip in for Saturday. The trouble makers took advantage of the situation.
Fucking disgraceful. Look at the bright side, however. Rahm and McMakersMark are incapable of securing a shopping mall. Their record gets worse and worse as time goes by.
"all those police and only 16 arrests. shameful if you ask me that more police didnt take police action."
Where were you cowboy?
Everyone of those punks had a video cell phone.
You think they will submit to an arrest? Are you going to put your hands on one them on camera? You don't think the mob will turn on you to help a brother?
You would get Cozzied. Fired & jailed before the punk's next birthday. Your house and savings going to lawyers and punitive damages.
These videos look like most Friday public school dismissals.
.
Concealed carry could definitely help curb this sort of maniacal behavior.
Blame the mall. They are not forced to let the group do a promotional event there. Make them pay a large fee to appear or just deny them. That would avoid all the problems
Ignore these idiots
Wow, those damn german american kids! What? Not them? was it the Irish kids again? No? Was it those Italian american kids? You mean it was those lovable african american kids? No way!!!
Never ever shopping at Ford City Mall !!!!!
The people of the Southwest Side (as well as nearby suburbs) want to know what exactly happened at your shopping center on Saturday, February 23, and why.
1. The mall has been shit for years
2. No one cares about the mall
3. No one on the Southwest Side goes to the mall they go to Ridge Mall.
4. Ford City is the new Evergreen Plaza which now is a waste land. Same shit there 5 years ago now its just moved to Ford City.
"In related news, the Ford City Mall has cancelled scheduled appearances by the Vienna Boy's Choir and the touring company of Swedish Handbell Ringers."
Hopefully they are arranging a "Trooping Of The Colors" event by the Swiss Guards from the Vatican -- in full ancient costume and armor, with their halberds and pikes.
Next week, "Burning At The Stake" by the Spanish Inquisition, and after that, "Breaking On The Wheel" featuring none other than Furchtbare Hannes -- Fearsome Hans, the bare-chested, black-hooded Chief Executioner Of Nuremberg, wielding his famous Iron Bar.
Accompanying theme music, "Ode To Joy," Chicago Sinfonietta.

Why is everyone shocked. ? New Jack City (ford city) was lost over 20 years ago
Damn Amish at it again
The solution is simple: BAN SHOPPING MALLS!
Now Rich Daley would know what to say, as he always did during the Bulls wins. " a few exuberant fans and nothing more."
Experience a wonderful shopping adventure at Chicago Ridge and Orland Square malls.
I agreed with all the comments here! This is a disgrace!! Chicago is going to the dogs!! Wait I dont want to insult the poor dogs, they are way better than these creatures!! Oh but we must save the children!! Yeah, right!
FYI, Ford City Mall has HD security cameras covering every inch of the mall and the mall parking lots. High Def. Zoom Cameras.
It is a damned shame, but the Democrats have made ballot access such a legal farce that most districts do not have Republican candidates for state and local offices.
It is interesting to know that the obscene band that performed at the mall is also a favorite at the Executive Mansion in DC.

Didn't that happen with American History X, as well?
Animals!! When is the city going to wake up!!
This story made Dogpile.com's favorite fetches

Reminds me of the Brickyard Mall on the far NW side. Once the hood started changing, JC Penney closed doors along with other stores. It has since re-opened with fewer stores. It's hard to keep the gangs out of there. Many have moved up to the HIP at Harlem / Irving. Used to be a nice place, not anymore. You have to go to Old Orchard now or Northbrook Court.

Thank you that was my best post of all time.
I was under the impression that these types don't riot in the winter. I am afraid that like certain types of urban roaches, Chicago's AA gang bangers are adapting to cold weather.
Next time just call in an Alpha Strike.
Take everything out.
You know you want to.
10-Alpha.......10-Alpha....Ford City
It started outside the poster shop in peacock alley, when some Heads and Popes conspired outside the Wizard of Games to put on a show of force in honor of Kelly H.S class of '84... oh, wait, i'm stuck in my time warp just staring off into space wondering, "how did this happen?" Back when I cut school and took the pulaski bus all the way to Ford City East to see The Outsiders I remember thinking, "wow, it sure is nice around here." And then after Reagan and JPII made things right, the democrats conspired to elevate an endless list of bloated claims of perceived injustices to gospel status.
[...] It's hard to keep the gangs out of there. [...]
It's difficult to keep gangs out of any place, at all times.
Re: Best Buy & Wendy's
Those businesses won't speak out. They'll close more locations and then complain about how "nobody" patronizes them.

And another coward heard from. Did u happen to watch the video? 100 percent justified arrest of anyone on scene camera or not. If they resist then they resist. Your still worrying about lawsuits after watching that? I've been in federal court for three jury trials. We won them all. Please, you should work inside or quit. You clearly have no brain and no spine. Don't use the excuse of cozie for not locking someone u
P. cozie WAS WRONG. He hit a handcuffed drunk restrained in a wheelchair in the middle of the hospital.... And let's get another thing straight, he didn't spit on cozie... It was a nice attempt at a defense bill but no cigar. If you do your job correct and by the book you will be fine in federal court if you get sued. If u know your job you should know if they resist you can respond with REASONABLE and EQUAL force. Learn it and try doing your job sometime you coward

Damn.
I'm approaching 60 y/o, and this just makes me sad as shit. My first legitimate job was in Ford City.
I said one before, sometimes I think about going back and doing a drive-thru, but I'm afraid...
Afraid of what I'll see.
Afraid of what I'll have to admit.
Sometimes it's better to live in ignorance. What the old saying?
