It sounds like the business attracts some of the less desirable patrons due to it's lax security and business model. I can understand wanting something done about it.

In 2011, the business made national headlines when a 3-year-old child was killed after falling from a roller coaster.


The patrons need to take ownership of their behavior too, but the business doesn't exactly sound like an exemplary place either.

That article is mind-numbing. They want the place closed, yet that would be racist, then others want it "remodeled" and "security improvements made" what the hell does that mean?

This happened in a suburb and a decently nice one at that. I would guess most of those pushing to get it closed are actual residents of the town.

The person claiming racism for closing it and pushing to get it remodeled with "security improvements" isn't from there - she's from the city itself.

This is the problem. It isn’t people from Norridge causing issues. Norridge is a nice little working class community.

This is great insight into why there are so many shootings in Chicago and why nothing is being done about it.

I think people wanting the business to close has more to do with this place of business apparently having a pattern of problems over a longer period of time. From the article:

quote:

In May of 2016, the Norridge-Harwood Heights News reported that within the previous 12 months, police had been called to Go Bananas more than 30 times for incidents involving battery, theft, counterfeit currency and fighting. Over a two-day period in April of that year, police reportedly responded to two fights involving adults that spilled outside into the parking lot. In one of the incidents, a physical altercation occurred after a 26-year-old woman accused a 23-year-old man of stealing her child’s coat, police said.

More recently, in May of this year, a 25-year-old Chicago woman was charged with domestic battery after she allegedly punched a man during a dispute inside the business, police reported.


Sounds like a lovely place to bring your kids and have birthday parties

It's not a suggestion, patrons of the business.

Amusement center? I was amused, not shocked, but amused. I believe it works for me.

Why the hell were no charges filed? Let these grown arse adults act like this without repercussion? Gotta be kidding me...

Warning: Video contains graphic content. A cellphone video, reportedly shot Aug. 25, 2018 at Go Bananas, a children's entertainment venue in Norridge, shows a physical altercation between two women while children play games nearby. No charges were filed in connection with the incident, police said. The video has been edited for length by the Tribune. (Leronica Hinton)

Probably because
quote:

A man told police he was hit in the head with a chair while attempting to break up an altercation among party guests inside the establishment, but did not want to pursue charges against anyone, Disselhorst said. Go Bananas personnel also declined to sign complaints, but asked that the party guests leave the business, the police chief said.

quote:

“We just don’t have any evidence of what sparked this incident, and there weren’t a lot of cooperating witnesses when we arrived on scene,”


Cops aren't going to devote limited manpower and resources to getting to the bottom of a fight at an arcade when they don't have any major injuries or any witnesses willing to cooperate.
