Wilding at Ford City
- Two people suffered minor injuries and police arrested at least 16 people during a disturbance involving crowds of young people tonight at Ford City Mall on the Southwest Side, authorities said.
About 4:45 p.m., a large group of disruptive teens ran yelling through the mall, which is located at 7601 S. Cicero Ave., according to a mall official.
Officials closed the mall minutes later, but the chaotic scene continued outside, where police found between 100 and 200 people damaging vehicles in the shopping center's parking lot, according to a police report.
People are "shocked:"
- In the meantime, mall officials are at a loss as they try to understand what happened.
"Ford City is a family-oriented mall," he said. "We have not had an incident like this [in the past], and I’m still in a little bit of a state of shock actually.
"What would make these youths comes here to try and cause this kind of commotion and trouble?" he continued. "I don’t know. But they did have a plan in mind."
Must be practicing for the downtown events for when the weather breaks.
Completely coincidentally, the boy band "Mindless Behavior" had just left the building.

SCC, your tongue was doubtless firmly in your cheek when you described the "coincidence" of Mindless Behavior's appearance. CPD News Affairs has essentially confirmed the link to the press. http://www.swchicagopost.com/2013/02/ford-city-you-owe-us-all-explanation.html
Nothing like this before....except a shooting in 2006.
Ford City has had smaller Wildings in the past and at least two murders.
I pity the Mall Manager trying to put lipstick on that pig.
As a PO who works in 018 I can tell you this is getting way out of control. I don't know what the answer is but something needs to be done to prevent large groups of black kids going around with the sole purpose of causing trouble. Maybe I just don't know but in all seriousness can anyone think of an incident in which another race of kids gets into a pack with the sole purpose of causing mayhem?
my guess, the band was a rap band, and all the offenders were male and female blacks 12 to 30 years of age. Not hating, just stating facts that the lame stream media refuses to. I could be wrong, but i doubt it.
This was NOT on the news. Both at 6PM as well as 9PM WGN-News.
Hey media - where were you on this?
That's why I do NOT watch or trust the local news anymore. WHY?
Because they are NOT reporting what is going on.
Not a LEO, JAFO.
Do you really think for a second that some Mall Adminstrater scratched his head and said, "What could have possible gone wrong with this idea?"
At least it wasn't 90 degrees out.
I'm hoping tho they will bring this young chorale group to perform at Woodfield Mall soon, so my teenage daughters can enjoy them as well.
Will the Pace Bus bring them directly home to the Harlem Ave Station?
This has happened before at ford city. It happened valentines day 2009
I am shocked and I don't believe this could happen in shitcago. The media must be lying to me.
Or practice for when the red line shuts down
It was nothing but kids playing "kick the car windows out."
The last time I was in this pit was when we changed over our CPD patches and I was still carrying 1911 colt 45. Cocked and locked !
I predict like the prophet SCC, that last summer will look like the old Kiddie Land in Melrose Park compared to this coming May - Sept.
One thing about little Richie, he knew when to hit the bricks and reside in red China. Rahm is clueless what to do and Supt.501-"VO" mind is grain alcohol.
Tell all the out of towners to come visit us here and enjoy the Rahm' circus.
To the new PPO' that hit the street this week. Wear depends, you will need them when you piss your pants. Will make you kids want to go back home in Naperville !
Complete insanity. I guess the chuckie cheese on 95 pulaski was to be hit next. Where a kid could be a kid.

video of the flash mob shoplifting at Best Buy, kicking cars, car alarms sounding
I'm sure it was those damn kids from Palos Hills and Burr Ridge at again!
Maybe even some of them came down from Wilmette, too.
What is the world coming to?
I mean, I guess they are all from these areas because the Tribune simply described the mob as youths and teenagers. Who else could possibly even consider doing something like this? I am sure they are not from the south side of Chicago, because the media would be truthful about what exactly happened, right?
It's those damned Amish rappers. Any fool who thinks that concealed carry of buggy whips is OK should have his beard forcibly trimmed.
Welcome to "CHI RAQ"!!!!
They werent youths or young people acting up. It was a 300+ black mob organized on facebook to do one thing. Violence and mayhem. Rahm says this stuff doesnt happen. This stuff doesnt exist. Downtown, at the lakefront, on the beach, on the cta, on the L and yes, at Ford City. 20+ cars damaged with there glass broken out, mirrors ripped off, wiper blades and arms ripped off. planters in the mall broken, food knocked over, isles of dvd and cds knocked over and damaged, snow and ice being rocketed at police, muther fucks and threats yelled at security and the police, blocked the streets, jumped on the hoods of parked and moving cars. Complete and utter black savagry. all the news downplayed the whole ordeal.
Actually there have been many, many such incidents in the past at Ford City. I would say close it down, but then they would all flock to Orland (which also has its issues) then there would be no where left of the South Side for normal people.
Call me crazy but wasn't there an incident when Ford Shitty was shut down a little while back??? Maybe a year or 2?
thank god it isn't a school night--- it would be a tragedy if the 16 who were pinched were not released in a timely fashion so they could go home and complete homework assignments--- did this shit ever happen out at woodfield mall....
Best Buy and other stores were picked clean of whacobbled be carried out........
Ford city has not been family oriented in decades....time to shut it down.....
The Pilgrims are somehow to blame. Not bad parenting or socialist programs gone bad, but the Pilgrims.
Arm yourselves. A fight is coming soon.
They are encouraged to do this by communist activists who want chaos in the streets. Study Bill Ayers' history and the histories of all of the communist subversives.
What you find may disturb you enough to take action.
Doing push ups at Ford City for the big event in mid-May.
First warm day in May when those red line car doors open and that rush of south side evil spills into the Loop! Can't stop it Bitches!
Black Knockout Game Player Killed by Armed Homeowner
Are you familiar with the Knockout Game? It is a racially motivated violent game that targets whites. How is it played?
You start with a group of blacks that number anywhere from 3 to 30 people. As a group, they search for white people, preferably alone, elderly and somewhat defenseless. If they can’t find any, Asians are the next ethnic group targeted. When a target is selected, at least one of the blacks approaches the target and then suddenly sucker punches them in the face as hard as they can. If the victim is knocked out, the person that hit them wins. If the victim is not knocked out, then you continue to hit and kick them until you’re too tired to hit anymore or until the person is dead.

Family oriented?
Even the fuckin illegal aliens are strting to not go there lately.
Emanuel will do nothing to tame the beast.
Rioting? Call out the riot police and begin making arrests, if not for cause then as material witnesses.
The poor honor students that probably that go to Bogan Tech HS that got caught in this mess.Technical HS VAllas put in place all smoke and mirrors and some illuminated signs.
"Traffic came to a standstill as teenagers jumped on cars, both parked and moving, according to a police report obtained by the Tribune. Many of those involved ignored orders to disperse, and police arrested 19 people between the ages of 13 and 19, according to police.
One teenager, Antoine Rosario, 18, was charged with felony mob action, another was charged with battery, and a third was charged with criminal trespassing, Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro said. The 16 remaining teens were charged with mob action, a misdemeanor."
These kinds of incidents have caused other malls to go belly up when the customers flee to the suburban malls. Although Chicago Ridge is going the same way.
All law abiding citizens better stay away from malls or food courts no more Sbarro Pizza for the law abiding.
This has something to do with the change we were promised over four years ago?
Then don't have a teenage Hip Hop group make an appearence at your Mall you idiots. If they haven't realized these type of events attract nothing but shit who are looking for trouble or an opportunity to steal.
That's an ABSOLUTE lie. That had these same problem years ago when Black gang movies played. I was on the scene of at least 3 other occasions over the years. That was why they finally stopped showing those types of movies at Ford City. We would have most of the district cars (when there was still police manpower) and lots of outside units, then we use to bring in lines of CTA buses, put the assholes on and send them east.
Ford City is the closest mall to my home, but I haven't stepped foot inside in almost 2 decades. I value my family and my person too highly to go to that hell hole. I'm only "shocked" that this hasn't happened before.
It was a dress rehearsal for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend wildings at Oak Street Beach and the Mag Mile.

Hey,everyone has some sort of spring training,why not these Rhodes Scholars.The Feral Beasts are statrting to wake up from their winter nap...............
We're worried this is going to happen at Woodfield... said no one ever.
Ford City has been DMZ since the late mid 90's.
Mindless behavior? The only mindless behavior is media calling these criminals "kids" . "30 older kids" are arrested.
I'm 50, I guess I'm an older kid too! Animal behavior justified again.
As a long time 008th District Po I am here to tell you that Ford City Mall is far from Family Friendly.
It is no more than a zoo. There is more shit there than in a septic tank. Shop in Orland where the CTA does not have service.
Wow. Ford City is becoming just like Water Tower.
They arrest only 30. This video shows these criminals going back to cause more mayhem. Why aren't these criminals arrested?
There idea of human behavior is different than what we consider civilized. They have no appreciation for proper behavior. This is their philosophy of life, their standards. Their standards and proper behavior are destruction and mayhem. It riles them up they find it exciting. They believe in doing this "We are great and powerful".
Seen it the classroom and in public too many times.
....and the elders are where? Or aren't there any elders? Kids getting used to further an agenda - bet on it. Someone wants Rahm and McCarthy GONE! has the drug trade been interferred with?
SERIOUSLY???????? ford city, is a shit hole...it has been that way for at least 20 years... my family stopped going there in the late 80's
Also, a big battle at North Riverside Mall about 7PM. Hispanics this time. 5 arrested and 1 to the hospital. Take a gun to the Mall for protection.

Old Retired Guy says....the problem is the Police Department. Here's the answer...In my day if something like this happened, all of them would have went to jail, not put em on a CTA bus and wave bye bye !! If they threw a snowball at the Police...jail, and oh, maybe a broken arm. The current Department and especially the supervisors have no clue. These assholes know there will be no consequences for their actions, so they act like animals. Yah we got sued, yah we got CR#s, but as the saying went back then.."we might lose the fight, but we'll win the war!!" .
Also, North Riverside was visited by Vice Lords from Oswego, Kendal County? We don't have enough of our own in Cook County? They were involved in a big wreck that blocked Harlem Ave. in the afternoon. 5 bambulances.
To Anonymous: my guess, the band was a rap band, and all the offenders were male and female blacks 12 to 30 years of age. Not hating, just stating facts that the lame stream media refuses to. I could be wrong, but i doubt it.
Um, it's assumed. I'm pretty sure anyone reading the Tribune is assuming the same despite their liberal leanings.
..look at the Ford City gone wild on youtube. Anyone that shops there must be crazy. Could you imagine your wife or daughter trying to navigate that parking lot.
Those damn Koreans again
stupid management , what did you think was gonna happen?, oh wait a min , a rap/r&b group named mindless behavior, exactly you asked for it , MINDLESS BEHAVIOR. Keep catering dumb asses
The media is playing political correctness, Rham's orders.
Family oriented?! Ha. The last time I was in ford shitty I was a kid with my family. That was about 30 years ago. Do you know why I've never been back? Those damn Amish kids from park ridge that's why! They can have it, no loss here.
Ford City kinda sucked when it was white too, not to this extent though.
It made national news this morning. We have officially turned into Detroit. Melee at Folk City isn't a recorded stat because it didn't happen in McNumbNuts BOX.
Did you say YUTES ?
Whoever 6713 is is a complete moron.. Gets on the air and says we don't need anymore cars then 10 minutes later it turns into a citywide 10-1.. Complete idiot..
Must ban hip hop concerts it incites poor innocent school children onto a riotous frenzy. Followed by parental or guardian quotes of "My baby din' do nut in".
Tax the Rap Cook County board!
Any of the Crime cameras get footage of this? So tribune how many cameras stopped this?

They don't go downtown with that pupose in mind. It is just how they live now. They don't create mahem. They ARE mahem.
They have been allowed to do what ever they want. No self control. No responsibility. WE owe them! That's what they have been told. That is what they believe. 50 years of bending over backwards and making excuses and politicians giving and giving to garner their vote. It has to change or this Country will not survive.
Lifelong Garfield Ridge resident here (mid-forties). That is why the Orange line ends at Midway and doesn't go all the way out to Ford City: the powers that be didn't want the shitheads riding the line to Ford City to do their savagery on innocent people. All that did is delay it and redirect how it was going to happen.
A previous poster is correct: Ford City has been a dangerous piece of shit place to go to for DECADES!!! I only go there if there is a particular store that I MUST get something from, and I don't have time to go out to the far suburbs. That said, I would never go without a gun or WITH my wife or kids.
To all other posters on this blog: never mention Orland here or anywhere a shithead may be made aware of its existence. The first rule of Orland is you don't talk about Orland. Otherwise we'll have to drive way up north to shop anywhere decent.
P.S. Chcago Ridge is becoming Ford City south, so don't bring it up. Please.
Anyone of them could have been "Obama's children".
..see "Ford city gone wild" keywords on youtube.
Ah, Ford City.
What happened to that simpler time when you could safely buy your rolling papers in Peacock Alley. Get buzzed and eat about 6 gallons of ice cream out of a sundae at Farrell's.
Can anyone else help me remember the bygone days and places at Ford City?
Remember the shitty little diner/ soda fountain next to Woolworths, I think. Had the gurgling grape pop machine.
North Riverside mall was like this last night, too.
Ther are alot of white kids ont he Southside who refuse to go to "Ford Shitty" because of the uncontrollable minority criminal element.
This was gang related. Some bangers posted on ABC7 Facebook page last night. He also said these honor roll students were carrying their legally obtained handguns. Level that shithole mall already
I hope they weren't forced to close down any nearby ice skating rinks in the area.
HUGE FUCK UP BY 008th District Commander, and Commander of Gang Enforcement. 15 Sgt's on scene and not one BOSS. No Lt, Capt, or COMMANDER to call the shots, lead the troops. No prep by the two commanders to have suitable manpower or notify CTA and have buses lined up and on stand by. This mall goes up for grabs every time it features such an event. This one falls directly on the two COMMANDERS that should have had this covered.
The fact that this happened at Ford City is not a surprise. That mall has been going downhill since the 80s. I remember people complaining how ghetto it was way back then. What's concerning is the sheer numbers involved, and their ability to organize. Imagine if these people get angry about something and use their ability to organize. How will the police handle it? How will we, decent honest citizens handle it? I sense trouble brewing. That is why it is absolutely critical that our right to bear arms is not infringed. You never know what might happen.
Yes, and our leaders in Springfield want to keep malls off limits for concealed carry.You cannot protect yourself now inside ford City or Evergreen Mall and then the dangerous walk to your car in the parking lot. Nothing like telling the world that these malls are gun free zones 9 for the law abiding that is).
The black community should be outraged and embarrassed. I am Hispanic and I am outraged and embarrassed when my people act like fools. They all need ass kicking, like back in the day! If I acted like this, I would get my ass handed by my parents! If they weren't there the police would hand me my ass and then my parents at home! And they wouldn't file a lawsuit, they would thank the police for straightening me out!!! The rule growing up was, if you run or
disrespect authority, there were consequences for your actions! There simply isn't any with certain youth groups, especially the African American and Hispanic youths
In Chicago. There are plenty of whites too. But the majority that's causing trouble, crime, and chaos are blacks!!!! WHAT THE FUCK media call it like it is! I am not a RACIST! They are ruining things for the Black community! I have three small children and I guarantee if I'm up north at a mall with them, I will be armed when conceal and carry takes place!
Its not safe for my toddlers at old or orchard where I grew up going to on a weekly basis. I was never afraid, now I see mobs of black kids there and it makes me nervous to be around them! I'm sorry to say this but I guarantee most of the other shoppers there are too. I observe the look of intimidation on their faces!
I call it like I see it! These kids are ruining for
the entire black race. I fear race riots in the future!
I'm not a policemen, but a teacher and I bet there were more honor students at the Ford City Mall yssterday than at CPS on Friday. Thank God I don't work in CPS! My hat goes off to the men & women in blue who have to deal with this nonsense on a daily basis. You are way underpaid!
Years ago I used to go to the Evergreen Park Mall and movie theater. then things got a little scarry there and I switched to Crestwood movies. Then they hired off duty cops because got a little scarry there. I also stopped goint to Ford City Mall for anything and never again to the theater because things got really scarry in the parking lots afterwards. Now I go to Orland and I wonder how long that will last. All of these malls and theaters that got scarry had one thing in common, young black females and males acting the fool with no sense of civility. And that is also the difference between NY and Chicago and the violent crime rates, the percentage of young black males and females in the city and their association with gangs. But, no one wants to bring this statistic up for discussion. i say face up to the problem and try to address the problem and not bury your head in the sand: poor family structure, lousy schools, lousy public transportation system, no jobs, courts that do not do their jobs, corruption amoung public officials.
Who does the media think they are fooling by refusing to identify criminals?
Once you throw off the shackles of political correctness and clean the years of accumulated cobwebs out of your mind it easy to see the media for what it is - Orwell's "Ministry of Truth".
Remember the rules, your default outlook is: Unless proven otherwise, all crime is committed by minorities. "Youth", "Teens" "Groups", are all newspeak for Blacks, Illegals, etc.
The best part in only a few went to jail & all of them received a FREE ride on CTA buses back to their hood. Now let me go back to sleep and give me an event number!

Oooooh, really? CPD news affairs, as an accurate resource.
Anyway, channel 7 showed violent video from cell phones, and reported the mob was there to see the band Mindless Behavior. When security tried to limit where the kids could go, they exploded on security and police (who reportedly were there, as well). One mall employee said security and police were outnumbered and the mob was out of control, throwing signs and chairs and anything they could get their hands on, breaking windows and fighting.
No need to visit the ghetto to get a true appreciation of their thuggery..... they're bringing the ghetto to you!

Idle hands are the devil's playthings.
The entire 8th district was there
there should have been more arrests made. who cares if they were juveniles or adults. lock them all up and show them that this can not be tolerated. the districts were quiet because all these shitbirds were at ford city. it would not have mattered if we spent time and man power processing these animals. these animals were even trying to go through the residential neighborhoods. would have been a crying shame if they got served up some lead justice while acting like savages.

The Strategy --
* Grab all the money you can.
* Work to forward personal hatreds and in-group agendas. This involves causing and perpetuating terrible societal problems in order to dilute and pull down the majority, while guilt-tripping the majority into protecting you while you do it.
* When necessary, make a public show of ineffectually slapping at the actual problems. Announce a New Strategy that is the same as the Old Stategy, over and over. The real muscle is put towards further weakening the majority; i.e., print lists of non-criminal gun owners, confiscate weapons owned by non-criminals, etc.
Tax the productive to death to pay for "breast feeding counselors" and "fruit buses" for people like this --

Don't worry it will all stop when they start the new basketball league.

Well at least the media had this Ford City mall thing to keep the downtown Embassy Suit 11th floor evictions off the front page.
Was it two dead from gunfire last night or was it three? To tell you the truth in all the excitement I kinda lost count myself...
"20+ cars damaged with there glass broken out, mirrors ripped off, wiper blades and arms ripped off. planters in the mall broken, food knocked over, isles of dvd and cds knocked over and damaged, snow and ice being rocketed at police, muther fucks and threats yelled at security and the police, blocked the streets, jumped on the hoods of parked and moving cars."

Don't worry.

Who is organizing all of this? Someone behind the scenes, who maybe does not even live in Chicago? Throw money up into the air to create confusion in the mall, those kids did not think that up on their own. I was on Michigan Ave. during one of the "events", the crowd was obviously shipped in, who is doing the shipping? A true media journalist would have been researching the background players by now, or maybe the city officials could advise us of the organized oppositon.
The Left says that this country needs a serious discussion on race. Here's a point to ponder: Black kids do this type of thing, not only here but nationwide. Show me one example of white kids doing this and I will stand corrected.

At least five videos posted on you tube from Ford City. The parents should watch these and try and explain this pack behavior. One of the videos showed a white mother clutching her child and tryin to wade through the crowd. The look on her face says it all.

Yeah Ford City got shut down-"it was too hot out!" hahaha
It is really amazing that this is the reason that indoor shopping malls are no longer built.
"We have not had an incident like this [in the past]." - I call BULLSHIT! What about when the gangbanger was murdered in the parking lot of the Ford City Theatres just a couple years ago and Santa Ckaus got robbed at gunpoint?
Best Buy is not part of Ford City Mall. It is on the west side of Cicero Ave. in Burbank.

I'm Black and I agree!!! This Shit is crazy. It's almost like we need to start locking up the parents.
Back in the early '90s I was on an 8th dist. tact team and about 20 of us were hired by the mall to work supplemental security. It was great duty because many of us lived in the neighborhood then and took a certain amount of pride keeping our local mall safe. Plus we got Box 1 credit for all of our arrests, mostly misdemeanor shoplifting, but a fair amount of felonies, too. The shitheads knew we were CPD and they would get locked up if they pulled any shit. Most of them migrated to Evergreen Plaza and Chicago Ridge Mall where the pickins were easier.
I really had to laugh at Sunday's Sun-Times reporting of this melee. It was in the tiniest box, about page #8 and was reduced to about 2 brief paragraphs. Chicago 7 news showed seconds of a youtube cellphone video, but they stressed that 'nothing was stolen.' (Well - that's what they're claiming). What a relief that only the cars in the parking lot got jumped upon by these savages. (Just wondering - did this type of behavior exist in the days of Beatlemania? Does this mindless behavior occur at (white) boy-band concerts/appearances? At least the nation will get to see these youtube videos and make visitors think twice about traveling to this shit city (or voting for Emanuel).
I think we should also thank all the suburban guys who showed up to back up the CPD
And in case you all don't know by now, the same stupid little rap group that instigated yesterday's riot is having anothe appearance at the AMC theater on Illinois tonight from 5-9. Be warned...
And Emanuel wants private corporations to cough up $50 million for after-school programs. Please! Nothing is going to change these 'honor roll students.'
Mindless Behavior - this group needs to be signed for Taste of Chicago this summer. They can really draw the crowds. Maybe they can host a pre-Taste CD signing at the Water Tower where there's (supposedly) more CPD presence along Michigan Avenue.
It used to be Gramma raised the children. Now grammas are 28 year old thugettes. Brace yourselves America it only gets worse with each generation of thug.

FOX news had a judge on , that talked about this idiot.
McCarthy,
You are an embarrassment. You have brought nothing but shame and failure to CPD. I have seen many incompetent 'leaders' from many agencies, but you have brought that to a new low. All I can say, is, the sooner you are gone the better.

Again, huh? Hmm.
There is no political will from the socialists in charge to do anything to change this behavior. Do your shopping in Indiana or Wisconsin if you can. Head out to the suburbs where this behavior is not tolerated.
This is an outrage It's not safe there anymore. Where am I going to shop?
Oh, I remember, I already moved away from the city after retiring. sorry.
It's too late now, but a supervisor on the scene should have went back to his unit and obtained a CR number. Since a CR has to be obtained before the end of a tour of duty or 30 minutes after becoming aware of an infraction it's too late now, but an open CR against an unknown (known but not provable) department member would open an investigation into Mr McCarthy intentionally removing an authorized non-lethal weapon from our use. The MK-9 pepper gas fogger would have rapidly and safely dispersed the mob and avoided hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage and saved two innocent citizens from sustaining injury. Whoever decided and/or caused those weapons to be removed from service should be held accountable. I'm sure McCarthy had his mindless hand in the process to meet the political regime's agenda during Nato, but it seem he seem to continue their agenda and not want the possibility of negative press associated with the use of the MK9. The use of that tool would have been safer and reduced liability to the officers involved as well as the department and the city. Without it officers have NO CHOICE but to resort to impact tools and physical force. It's not criminal, but it has created liability and those decisions hold a punishment. Would have loved to see it, and the goofball answers that would have come from it.
yea, "family oriented mall" yea ok, I recall a few years ago some young woman with a baby was carjacked/ murdered in the parking lot there ? But to be fair, a woman of almost 60 yrs old was shot in robbery attempt at the Orland Mall in the past year.
So yea HEY, this "family oriented" stuff is happening all over.
On lil' fun factoid in the article mentioning the 100-200 "youth" maurading outside into the parking lot "DAMAGING CARS". Imagine that sight of dozens of these full grown athletic kids jumping on car hoods. Imagine your in that parking lot with your children in the car, the wonders of "family oriented" malls these days.
Now it's the lead story on Yahoo and ABC News. This should be great for tourism this year with all the national exposure.
Too bad we couldn't send them all to the Lincoln Park Zoo.
Thank you Ramn and McNumbnuts for gutting all the rapid response units.
The summer mobile force,Gang unit, etc.
How's that working out? Hope the Bulls don't win a championship.
These wildings can be controlled but not by McClueless. The bulls riots were controlled by the real police.

Ah, Ford City.
What happened to that simpler time when you could safely buy your rolling papers in Peacock Alley. Get buzzed and eat about 6 gallons of ice cream out of a sundae at Farrell's.
Can anyone else help me remember the bygone days and places at Ford City?
Remember the shitty little diner/ soda fountain next to Woolworths, I think. Had the gurgling grape pop machine.

There was a cosmetology school in the basement at the mall. For a few dollars, you could get your hair cut and styled by the students.
I also remember going to the Goldblatts and Korvette's that was nearby on 79th Street.
There was a bridal store in the basement and I remember trying on a dress that was gorgeous and fit perfectly for $250.00. I was looking divine and giving a not too subtle hint to my then boyfriend.
I had a lot of great times at Ford City and started shopping there after Evergreen Plaza started going downhill. I stopped going to Ford City after Chicago Ridge opened up.
Why is anyone surprised when savages behave like savages? We see this behavior everyday in the districts...
Im serious,does the shops at Ford City still carry Memebers Only jackets along other items such as earth shoes my favorite andPro Keds?
So what gives the police the authority to pile the Yates in buses and move them from the scene? I'd they use their skews bus passes or was it another freebie handed out?
Gary, you looked lovely in that bridal gown too!
Why was Keating on a Segway?

Got to Bring Phil Cline back. And! Hire more coppers. Have police transport buses standing by for mass arrests. And bring back TrU.

Wasn't Cline the genius that disbanded the School unit and the Detail unit?
Wasn't he the one that started the reduction in manpower?

Well stated brother, a million stories from Madison and Crawford !!
The looters were a different breed who played fair with us. LOL.
Absolutely disgusting representation of ANY race! This should be all over the news, with each and every Community Leader, Pastor and Politician ranting and raving about the savage behavior of these animals!
Don't worry bacon pants from the 861 team and his partner Fred flintstone had it all under control....
Who does the MSM think is fooled by writing about "teens" and "youths"? I'm an ordinary person and even I know what those words are code for. It's time to start telling the truth and face the problem head on.
Like in nam, you have to know when "it" is lost... The southside is lost...and people make fun of me for living up north... The truth hurts
Come on up to Edison Park. Yes, the homes are more expensive, but your neighbors are Park Ridge, Skokie, Niles, and Morton Grove. Isn't your family's safety worth it?
[...] The parents should watch these and try and explain this pack behavior. [...]
Why? Most of parents will deny their child(ren)'s involvement and/or say the tape was edited/doctored.
The Ayers familly took an early interest in our current president [...]
For the New World Order, the Bilderbergs and Kissenger are interested in Obama too.
[...] Will the Pace Bus bring them directly home to the Harlem Ave Station? [...]
Yes, but that is now a two bus route trip, courtesy of Pace restructuring.

Go get your cr#. There is nothing prohibiting you from it. The guidelines for the timeframe to obtain a number are just that - guidelines. They don't prohibit anyone from getting the number hours, days or weeks after the infraction.

Smile for the cameras, then, because they video every car coming in and out of their lots. At 'face' height, so they get a nice shot of the plates, the car and the people in it.
[...] Shop in Orland where the CTA does not have service.
Orland Square is serviced by Pace.
Lifelong Garfield Ridge resident here (mid-forties). That is why the Orange line ends at Midway and doesn't go all the way out to Ford City: the powers that be didn't want the shitheads riding the line to Ford City to do their savagery on innocent people. All that did is delay it and redirect how it was going to happen.
Past and present, the powers that be don't care about our safety.
Historically and present day, no CTA el has terminated at malls.
Navigating CTA to Ford City isn't difficult.
To all other posters on this blog: never mention Orland here or anywhere a shithead may be made aware of its existence. The first rule of Orland is you don't talk about Orland. Otherwise we'll have to drive way up north to shop anywhere decent.
No offense meant, but others and you have mentioned Orland Square, which isn't located in a secret location like Direct Buy (ha ha at Direct Buy).
Generally, up north shopping isn't that great either.
Imagine what's going to happen when the link cards stop working (cause the state is broke). It will be thousands of ford city's happening all at once. I heard a quote that the average person is 9 missed meals away from savagery. Well, these mf's got the savage part down, all they need is the excuse.
"Mindless Behavior's appearance"
Was McFailure there?
hey mcgoofy thanks for disbanded uniform units that responded to many incidents in minutes all over the city and i love being stuck in a shit hole with over 10 years on with no clout or bids to get out. im gonna really bust my ass when i see recruits with get better spots than me.

No political will? Yes, you are partialy correct, but any political will is driven by cash, cold hard cash and the mall managers and stockholders want more of it. Look at what they sell in the stores in some of these malls, look at the bands and entertainment they bring in. They are directly catering to young black males and females. They dont care what happens after the gangs leave the mall area. How do you stop it ? Who knows?
the same thing happened years ago to the Brickyard mall on the northwest side.It was a great place to shop in the 80 s till the natives from austin and humboldt park finally discovered the place and ran all of the businesses out till all u had was ghetto clothes stores and places selling gymshoes.History just keeps repeating itself ,

I moved up here years ago and have never regretted it.
and let's not forget the 36 illegal guns confiscated by law enforcement from these "honor students" during this "wilding" according to an officer on the scene.
My family saw the writing on the wall and moved out of the Southside in 1953. These Obbama supporters descend like a plague of locusts. But at least locusts have some value in the food chain. The Obama supporters have absolutely no value...except possibly as fertilizer.
That is why you are not a sergeant. The G.O. states that a supervisor has to obtain a CR number within ONE hour of being aware of the infraction. It dosen't state that there is any statute of limitations on when the supervisor becomes aware of the infraction.

If that was the case there should have been at least 36 arrests.

I guess the schools you attended didn't teach math. You bring up Obama and the year 1953,really?
Courtesy of the Democratic Machine, Edison Park isn't going to remain the same forever.
Remember when Ford Shitty used to have its own Police Department with mounted units?? It wasn't perfect but there was less of a criminal element there.
Is it worth buying a laptop from 2002? There is a notebook
on eBay that I am considering buying, it says the notebook is from 2002 so its like 16
years aged. It's running OR WINDOWS 7, are there any disadvantages to buying
this old laptop? I've pretty much that program - HP, in my own case.
I take advantage of it to perform some legacy
software, can be all. It's painfully sluggish, won't even log
onto the internet......
