CHICAGO nightclub fighting @ Lake & Halsted from the Lake Street Lookout, lakeandhalsted.com With a CHICAGO POLICE TACTICAL CAR stationed directly in front of SHADOW BAR'S main door, one might assume a reasonable person would abstain from fighting. Disconcertingly, SEVERAL FIGHTS broke out among exiting SHADOW BAR patrons, resulting in arrests and a convergence of CHICAGO POLICE CARS. Even AFTER 12th District POLICE SQUADS kept responding to the scene, MORE FIGHTS broke out! Were they TRYING to get arrested? We lost count of the number of FIGHTS, ARRESTS and POLICE CARS. (fighting from this night continues in PART 2) * Videotaped incidents have been shortened to accommodate this web format, but remain in chronological order. * All views are of Lake Street looking south, with Halsted on the left & Green St on the right. * ALL sound files (including any background music) were recorded along with the images, AS ACTUALLY HEARD ON THE STREET. The sound has NOT been enhanced, supplemented or amplified. This new subgenre of alternative rock bore some influence from hiphop because rhythmic innovation and syncopation are primary, often featuring DJs as band members.
