For clarification: The victim of the tackle, Matt Rossell from In Defense of Animals, said yesterday that his back still hurt from the encounter with the security guard. He was also troubled by the incident having been witnessed by his 2-year-old daughter who was "deeply traumatized."
It appears from the video that the guard doing the tackling was under instruction from his supervisor, since he just appears from nowhere and gets to work, after Rossell has been engaging verbally with another guard for some time.

Are you really calling that a "pounding"? You truly are a huge pussy, Matt. I guess that doesn't surprise me though, given most of Portland's male population has been separated from their testicles for quite some time. If that other pussy didn't want to be beat up by the big bad security guard in front of his kid, he shouldn't have so loudly drawn attention to himself on private property. He was clearly creating a distubance which caused alarm in other people at the mall. You can see on the video people pulling their kids quickly by those nasty hippie "cheerleaders". They are clearly alarmed. They should have all been arrested for disorderly conduct.
My offer to send you back to England still stands.
Whoa, whoa! Calm down here, people. Let's not have an incident here, huh? Am I right? Heh. Who's with me? Alright!
Now, Carla, I'm gonna need you to settle down a little bit--deep breaths, deep breaths. In and out. Innnn and out.
And you, sir? Sir? You with the gibberish? Stop being all creepy and stalker-ish, please. I can and will give you a written warning. Do not tempt me to do so, sir.
A cat, you rule these comments with an iron fist. Or should I saw "iron paw"? Heh, heh--whoa, whoa! Just a little joke there, people. Just tryin' to keep things light, y'know? Ha! Because... cats... y'see.... they have... paws. Get it? Anyway! Sir, is it too much to ask that you show a bit of sympathy? As far as I can tell, your tone toward Miss Carla is unprovoked, sir.
Consider this your second warning, people, and enjoy the rest of your night. If anyone needs me, I'll be over by the Cinnabon!
1. A Cat- you're crazy. I think you secretly love Matt Davis and want to marry him and have his babies (kittens?).
2. DeportMattDavis - I will take one for the team. Please send me to London in Matt Davis' behalf. If it helps, I also live in Portland and am an EU (if not UK) citizen. His wife will be sad if he leaves, my wife will be happy. So it is win-win.
Lloyd Center is a horrible horrible place filled with all kinds of people who have given up on life. Especially those cocksmokers who work in those cell phone kiosks. I hate them so much.
dear mercury,
I am sure it is easy for you to shake your head at the travesty of the "heavy handed" security guards at the Lloyd Center. As someone who works there though I can only say shame on you. It's bad enough that employees at this mall have to deal with people using the restrooms to shoot up or get drunk, that there have been multiple shootings at and near the mall, that on any given day I have to worry that the person I ask to leave my store is going to refuse and instead inflict bodily harm on me but now you go and tell all the dredges of society that our security over steps their bounds but don’t worry, you’ll put a stop to that. That's right, come on down to the Lloyd Center where you can score some drugs while shopping for some new shoes and bringing your kids to story time. Hell, why bother paying when you can just steal it? Who’s going to stop you? Be sure to leave your dirty needles in the bathroom trash too so employees will have to be extra careful not to prick themselves when changing it out. Oh and you have to go so bad you can’t make it to the stall? That’s fine, the friendly staff doesn’t mind cleaning your feces off the floor, walls, or wherever else you decided to smear it.
Next time you want to criticize, take a walk in our shoes.
I guess no one remembers what Lloyd Center was like in the 1990's. No has mentioned that Rossel was directed to leave the mall numerous times and not come back. Rossel was never given a written exclusion because he would always refuse to accept one when one was given to him. An exclusion can be verbal or written.
The mall is private property just like the A&L tavern, Oasis Pizza and your home. If for whatever reason you want someone to leave they must or they are commiting the crime of Criminal Trespass II. By refusing to leave or returning onto private property you commit the crime as well.
Private property =Buisness or a person owns the property.
Public property = Government owns the property.
The City of Portland has nothing to do with Lloyd Center.

mall security takes pictures of juveniles who shoplift without consent and then they send the pictures to their gmail accounts from there personal phones.

Fun fact for the day: Private security guards (like these guys) outnumber real police officers 4 to 1 in this country.
2. DeportMattDavis - I will take one for the team. Please send me to London in Matt Davis' behalf. If it helps, I also live in Portland and am an EU (if not UK) citizen. His wife will be sad if he leaves, my wife will be happy. So it is win-win.
3. Kiala - Trolleys do suck.
4. Fake Mall Cop - get a real job.
5. Real Mall Cop - get a real job. And a lawyer.
RETAIL security?
Don't they know you never buy security retail? Anyone who pays full price for security is a chump.
