Getting Kicked Out Of Washington Square Mall - Indianapolis, Indiana

  • Welcome to the Washington Square Mall located in Indianapolis, IN. Today’s mall video will be a very different one. As of very recent I took a trip to Indianapolis, IN to check out some places. One of them was the Washington Square Mall. So I powered up my Osmo and began filming, I was minding my own business and wasn’t bothering anyone . Then I got stop by security and told me I couldn’t video record and how I need to delete the footage. That’s when I stopped the recording. I told him I’ll leave but I won’t delete the footage, then he began to follow me out and haras me. That’s when I started recording again. He wants to say how he was an officer of the law and how I need to follow his orders. I didn’t buy it. I asked for his badge and he was very hesitant of showing it to me, he eventually pulled out some security badge. As we were walking out he then began to curse at me, telling me how there tired of people coming to this mall and document it. While I remain calm the entire time, I walked out and I left after that. This is NOT how you treat mall guests, the security guards could’ve handled the situation a lot better. This was the worst situation I had to deal with while doing UA-cam. For anyone thinking about going to Washington Square I wouldn’t recommend it. If you do however, just be careful and be sure you know your rights and your law.

    Just a few days ago i caught the same security guard (the one who aggressively kicked me out) stalking my instagram page and harassing others… yikes… I immediately blocked him. Talk about creepiness.

      I don’t think there are people who own the mall is going to do anything about it because what I said on my post is he might be on the take and he’s just trying to make sure that his employers don’t get their business out in the open. Namely, money laundering, but supposedly that’s all just speculation

    Sorry this happened to you man. I also got busted here when I came here last year, but I got busted by a woman who actually tried to grant me permission to film. Unfortunate its becoming into the state now. I would honestly suggest no one visits here now. If they want to keep us away, they will push everyone away from going here.

    • @slackingpacking
      @slackingpacking  Рік тому +2

      I agree, I do not recommend anyone visiting this mall if they’re going to treat us like this. Makes me wonder if they are trying to hide something. 🤔 I probably should’ve went into a different entrances maybe I would’ve have better luck.

    You did a very good job staying calm and responding respectfully. The guard was exerting his power over someone he knew he could talk to like that. His tone and aggressive approach was way out of line. While it is private property, all he had to do was ask you to leave and you obviously would have. Very unfortunate.

    Geez. I don't understand why mall security guards are so hostile. I feel that it could have been handled better on his end. Shame you had to deal with this. It's even more sad that he thinks you're bashing the mall. Hopefully, one day, they understand that what we do isn't a crime.

    • @slackingpacking
      @slackingpacking  Рік тому +2

      Exactly! He was overusing his power and trying to claim he was a police officer, when he wasn’t. There’s a difference between a security guard and a police officer. What we do is document and preserve. we do not bother anyone.

    Haven't been there in years. Used to work there in the 80's. It was an awesome mall! Always packed! Last time I was there, I remember Target, Victoria Secret, Bath and Body Works and maybe a couple of other popular stores being there, but mostly hood rat stores...like a huge ghetto flea market. It's really sad. My mom, sister, niece and grand nieces and nephew still live on that side of town. I hate going over there. I have a daughter that lives close to Castleton Square Mall and I haven't even gone to that mall in a few years. I don't mind venturing out to Greenwood Park Mall on the rare occasion, but venturing out for me now days is a rare occurance...the world just isn't a nice place.

    However, in this city for years and a lot of what the people in the comment section is saying is true, but here’s another thing that a lot of people also don’t really take consideration of especially the rumors about this place, and the current owners of said mall that the story that going around is that mall is actually being used for money laundering purposes And there has been no improvements whatsoever and the only place that’s making any money around. There may be might be the movie theater, but I’m not sure how long that movie theaters is gonna last from what I’m hearing and also Target, but the only reason Target says is because of the lease contract that’s been binding for a long time. I heard the story from plenty of people especially some people work at the post office who I’m friends with because I used to work over there. They’ve told me some thing like the same thing over there and they didn’t really feel safe delivering packages over there.

    Sorry you had to go through this! This Mall is too dead for him to be doing the most. I have recorded on my phone for old memories sake before at the Lafayette square mall right before they shut down for remodeling and nothing was said. The “Guard” is just a terrible person and I’m sure that Lafayette Square is in partnership with Washington Square he’s just mad because he is going to be out of a job when they do shut down.

    I live on the east side of Indianapolis in this area of Warren Township and this whole side of town is a complete shithole. The mall lot just keeps looking more and more derelict as the years have gone on. There used to be car shows there in the west lot back by what used to be JCPenny back in the 1990s and 2000s. Now, I wouldn't touch that mall with a 50ft pole. It's not called Ghettosquare Mall for nothing!
