11/12/05; 3 FIGHTS AFTER CHROMIUM NIGHTCLUB CONCERT-CHICAGO

CHICAGO nightclub fighting @ Lake & Halsted from the Lake Street Lookout, LAKEandHALSTED.com

This video clip documents CHROMIUM patrons involved in THREE altercations in the early hours of Saturday, 11/12 as they leave FRIDAY night's "Frankie J. Live Concert". Recorded were two scuffles at the CHROMIUM valet parking area across the street, the second requiring intervention by a Chicago Police Tac car and Police Squad car. A second Police Squad car arrives and both monitor the closing crowd to prevent further fighting. Later, in a third altercation, someone in a car confronts CHROMIUM'S security, then clashes with a Chicago Police Officer. The culprit was arrested and led away in handcuffs... an unforgettable night.

NOTE: 3 days later, at the 11/15/05 City Hall meeting convened to discuss neighborhood concerns with CHROMIUM, Tony Perez (CHROMIUM'S manager) gave us the impression that most of the attendees this FRIDAY night were "girls". None of the aggressors in these 3 incidents appear to be female...an innocent oversight, we surmise.

* Videotaped incidents have been shortened to accommodate this web format, but remain in chronological order.
