You Mall Ninjas will fit right in at the New Rock City Mall. Check this out: They have guards that follow the paying customers that are wearing thier baseball caps backwards, and ask those customers to turn thier caps facing forwards. If you tell them politely, that you are a grown man and you will wear your cap as you please, they will call the other guards over and follow you around untill you stop somewhere and at that point the group of three guards and thier sgt will ask you again to turn your cap around or they will have to ask you to leave the mall. At that point, you have to remind them that we are in America, the land of the free, and no one can enforce a ridiculous rule like 'hat positioning' in a public place, and furthermore they are harassing you and creating a scene over nothing, in front of your children. They seem to be very hard of hearing after you finally had enough of thier Mall Ninja games, and tell them to F**K OFF and leave you the F**K alone. Apparrently that sentence is not clear enough for them to understand, beacause they ask you to repeat it, wich you do, only LOUDER to make sure that they get your drift. The sgt now asks you to leave the facility, and you refuse, but they insist, now you are ready to blow a gasket because of these morons, and you are beside yourself with anger because they just called for more guards, and the Police! This has gotten way out of control because they have nothing else to do, so they bother the customers. Instead of doing something stupid that could land you in jail, you walk away with your family and wait for the police to show up. The police officers show up quickly, and after talking to both sides, and several witness who saw the entire confrontation unfold, they called us together and the LEO's tell the Mall Ninja's to leave the customer(me)alone, he is not breaking any laws and in fact, based on the witnesses corroboration of his account, you are harrassing him and his family. They protest the LEOS decision and tell the LEO that there is a sign in the mall, near the entrance, and it has the 'hat rule' written on it, and that they are just doing thier job and were well within thier rights to do what they did to me. The Police officers basically said the same thing I did, "You can't tell customers how to wear thier hats, and unless he is breaking the law, we have no reason to arrest him, or for that matter escort him out of the facility." The cops told me to take it easy and have a nice day, and told the guards to leave me alone or I can file a complaint to the managment. The Mall Ninjas were finally defeated and they very were p*ssed off at me. I say F**CK 'EM, and I might file a complaint against them tomorrow anyway.

You're damn straight file it. Most mall ninjas are wanna be cops that couldn't make the grade. 99% of them have an inferiority complex, hence they harrass people that are just minding their own business. They have no _real_ power. Bah. I'm glad the LEOs saw the dreaded Mall Ninjas for what they were.

Mall Ninjas are real. We have one down here. He is about 5'5", 120lbs, and looks like a typical average 17 year old black kid. His clothes don't fit and he wears a big black state trooper hat that is too big for his head and that he wears at about a 60 degree angle instead of level.
He thinks he is a bad ass because he has a generic rent-a-cop "security" patch on his shoulder and carries a minimag flashlight and a radio shack walkie talkie. Some badass. |

Nothing like a mall ninja you can break over your knee. Where do they find these idiots?

Hey pal-
I think you should just consider yourself lucky you made it out of that situation without getting an ass full of .300 Win mag and leave it at that.[:D] |

While walking through the mall once I accidently discovered that my tennis shoes made a squeaky sound on the floor.
Hey......I liked the sound so I did it a few times. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAA!. The mall ninjas stormed in on me and told me that I'd have to stop doing that. I said What?............This?.........S Q U E A KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. They saud yeah that. Stop or your gonna have to leave. I looked all around me at the loud, obnoxious, out of control non-racially diverse group of hoods and said "You mean to tell me that you have nothing better to do tonight than harrass me for squeaking my shoes while all this crap is going on around you? Fewer of me than you huh? I walked off and they just stood there. Idiots. |

New Rock Mall in New Rochelle, NY? If that's the one you're talking about, Jesus Christ in a DUMP TRUCK! Surely they have more problems keeping the native population in line at that place than they do about a "dress code" etticut! Even though you are a grown man and I would giggle at you like a schoolgirl if I saw you wearing a baseball cap backwards (unless shooting, or lookin up a periscope or something...) no friggin mall ninja has the right to tell you anything, least of all a dress code! "hat rule"! Ha! Let's open our own mall with a "no moron" rule, yeah, we'd probably be bankrupt in a week. FILE THAT COMPLAINT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mall ninjas aren't just in malls. Once when I was a kid, Iwas walking home from wherever, and I decided to take my usual shortcut through the apartment complex. Hell, it knocked about a half-hour off the walk. Well, as I was walking, I noticed a pair of headlights slowly coming up from behind. I knew it was a security guard by his skillful stalking tactics (yeah, right!) When I turned the corner, I ran my a$$ off towards the woods, where my cut-through was. When that car turned the same corner, he lit 'em up! I mean full bore, tires squeelin' and everything! Well, I was starting down the hill into the woods, when I hear him come to a screeching halt. I hear the door fly open and a voice yell "Stop, I'll shoot!" Holy crap!!! I ran right THROUGH a large shrub, and flew all the way home! I didn't want to get shot for doing nothing at all! Notice that his big fat a$$ didn't follow me into the bush! What retards! I guess I was technically trespassing, but EVERYBODY I knew used that shortcut. Big deal! Nothin' better to do, I guess. I think if I didn't run, he probably would've run me over in his overzealous security tactics.

Here in Phoenix, a Mall Ninja wannabe was recently arrested for lighting off something like 24 arsons in the downtown area. He was always walking around with scanners, two-way radios, mag-lites, etc., and claiming that he was "undercover" Phoenix PD. Pretty funny since he is only 18. Now he's trying to prove that he's incompetent to stand trial....

They're right, though.
You really should wear your hat properly. |

Mall ninjas aren't just in malls View Quote that is for sure. one time, at my friends apartment complex.... late one evening we were throwing a football back and forth when some apartment security ninja approached to make us stop cuz we were too noisy. meanwhile, 10 steps away the neighbor was having a party on their balcony. (10 times louder) ...brain dead. |

I am a security professional in a major retail shopping mall and I have encountered many patrons doing these same type of things. People have to understand that proper dress code and squeaking tennies are nothing to take lightly. Although starting as only a small lack of civility, these incidents tend to lead to bigger acts of disobedience. A rule is a rule. Break them in my mall and you will get hammered, I can promise you that.

When I`m in the mall , I go into the doors that say "employees only" I lurk in the access hallways and fart in the elevator.
I put sugar in the salt shakers at Bobs Big Boy. I remove the mattress tags at Bed City. I mix up the alphabetical order of CD`s in the music stores. I leave the seat up in the bathroom stalls I put vaseline on the door knobs I put gum in the escalator And I make really nasty faces at you while you check your gut in the reflection of the store windows. When you think no one is watching and you examine a particulary crusty bugger, I am saying 'eeeewwww'. I post handbills on the sign that says post no bills. I am the one that unplugs the electric assault golf cart right after you plug it in for a recharge. I spit gum on the mall floor I mix up the shoe sizes at Shoe City and missmatch them I take pics of thirty eight yr old managers doing the nasty with 17 yr old girls at the Lemonade/hotdog on a stick place. I drill a hole in the roof right over the escalator, for rain |

Gecko45 and SpecialForces (they're so l33t!) represent the epitome of the Mall Ninja.
"...I'll twist your head around..." "...conversation with my boot..." "...take a pot shot at you..." You people have no real power. You are not police officers. You can arrest me? Yes you can. I can arrest you too (citizen's arrest) And I guaran-damn-tee you that if you as much as lay a finger on me for having my hat on backwards, I'll just sick my lawyer on you. Lord knows I could use an extra $260 per week (you do make that much, don't you?) You can be my ammo-b!tch. "...brother's in arms..." my a$$s. You're a rent-a-cop. You will always be a rent-a-cop. Do us a favor, and try to make something of your life. Actually, don't. The world needs someone to laugh at and ridicule. Anyone see "Detroit Rock City"? Remember the character of Elvis (the school hall monitor/security guard/hallway ninja?) I think that Gecko45 or SpecialForces must have been trying to make some extra cash acting! -Gloftoe |

I am by no means a "rent a cop." I see far more action than your average cop. I do all the work taking these punks down and then the cops come haul them off and they get all the credit. Then you get some ungrateful turd complaining about "mall cops" and threatening to call his lawyer. What sissy $@#%. We are here kicking #@$ for YOU. And, I have you know, I make a damn good living doing what I do. My buddy (who is a cop) makes way less than I do. He had to jack the dog off to feed the cat last night.

Now, now... Let's be politaclly correct here. They are no longer malls, they are "Multi Purpose Retail Venues" and they are not rent-a-cops they are "Assets Protection Agents".
Of course I weork for a major retailer and our private "Assets Protection Staff" is really cool. Of course they are well aware that they are only there for the impact of their presence and that they have "NO REAL AUTHORITY" In fact we have discussed the fact that even if they see you take something off the shelf and out the door, they "CAN NOT STOP YOU" Only our UC staff, who have been licensed by the local police can even detain you and they have to call the police as soon as they enter the security office. I have know many "Rent-A-Cops" who fit the discription, and I have know a few good security professionals and the 2 mall ninjas in this thread fit the prior. I was at one of the bigger malls in the area a few months ago and found it very funny and also disturbing to have noticed the bank of TVs that show what the security cameras are watching and to my amazement the controllable acmera was moving from woman to woman checking out close ups down the blouse and on the ass. This is the essence of a "Rent-A-Cop". |

There is a cascade of this counterculture deviancy, and it starts at a young age, forming a predictable pattern.
While they're out shopping, junior gets a little ripe in his training pants because momma or da-da is a little too tired or busy talking on the cell phone. So they stay on when they should be changed. Once the young victim is habituated to shuffling through the mall in wet or soiled underwear, it's easy to become indifferent to that loose shoelace, or even the idea that they should be tied appropriately at all. Soon he or she discovers that this is a good way to attract attention from society, reveling in any frown or shaking of the head that they can provoke. Shirtails hanging out are another typical manifestation of this delinquent attitude. From there, the hat reversal is a natural progression of "attitude". Leaving the price tag on is another way to attract attention. Next it's the jacket hanging off the shoulders, depending only on the forearm for support. By this time serious problems have arisen in the young perp's attitude to Other People's Property. In their disfunctional reasoning, if they can get away with it, they think it's OK. Am I right, Gecko & SpecialForces? Folks, we've got to hold the line on this. Because next, if they're not broken, they go on to those baggy pants that are many sizes too big and have to be constantly held with one hand or suspenders or some secret homey trick that keeps them halfway down their a**. Who knows how many millions in unpaid merchandise has gone out the doors this way. Then they progress to things like multiple piercing of body parts that shouldn't be exposed in the first place, tatoos both visible and in unspeakable places. By that time they are lost and can serve no functional purpose in respectable society, except perhaps to say "you want fries with that?" Hence the need for the security elite who are more on top of things than the police. We require their 24/7 "condition red" alertness and response capability, to keep these felons of the future in line while they're still in their formative years. It may take a village to raise a child (into a mind-numbed liberal drone), but it takes a Mall Ninja to (cattle) prod that child into a compliant and productive subject. [red][size=4]PRK |
