Osama Jihad Zeidan, of Oak Lawn, is charged with felony criminal damage to state-supported property. Police say window was rendered inoperable.
An Oak Lawn man with a history of “fighting with police and a combative demeanor” was charged with felony criminal damage to property after he kicked out the rear passenger window in a village police car, reports said.

Oak Lawn police responded to Advocate Christ Medical Center at 4440 W. 95th St. around 1:05 a.m. Sept. 18 to assist hospital security officers. When police arrived, a man identified as Osama Jihad Zeidan, 34, was being detained in handcuffs, according to the report.
Zeidan came to the hospital seeking medical treatment for an old wound to his foot. Police said while waiting to be seen by a doctor, Zeidan kept leaving and coming back to the waiting room. Zeidan was allegedly intoxicated on his last return to the waiting room, where he began yelling at a nurse.
Hospital security arrived and as they talked to Zeidan, police said he balled up his fists in an “aggressive manner.”
A security officer pushed Zeidan’s arms down, and Zeiden responded by shoving the security officer in the chest with both hands, reports said.
After Zeidan was placed in the back seat of an Oak Lawn police car, police said Zeiden knocked the rear passenger window off its track with two kicks, making it inoperable.
He was removed from the squad car and placed in a police wagon, where he was driven to the Oak Lawn police station. Police verbally read Zeiden his consitutitional rights. Due to his level of intoxication and history of fighting with police, the officer did not offer him a pen to sign a waiver of his rights.
The Cook County assistant state’s attorney approved one felony count of criminal damage to state supported property. Zeiden was also charged with misdemeanor battery.
He was being held pending a bond hearing.

Another reason to close our borders.Enough is enough! There are no jobs for Americans let alone all these immigrants floating around on Visas. This country has to start taking care of the people living here and repair the damage caused by giving everything away! When do we as Americans get to go back to living the "good life" our families have worked so hard to create??

When we stop sending jobs overseas or hiring illegals here. Tell your elected officials.

What does closing out borders have to do with some doofus kicking out a cop car window? Check out the police blotters on a regular basis. There are plenty of morons who cause trouble, resist arrest, etc. And a majority of intoxication and disorderly conduct in Oak Lawn has nothing to do with immigrants.
For all we know his family could have been living in the USA for over 60 years. So this police arrest has nothing to do about the immigration issue.

too many..., I could not agree with you more (as you will notice, my response was directed at the 'problem of illegals' not equating or correlating it to immigrants).
Watch, now you will be pounded on by the people who like to pretend there is no racism in Oak Lawn...all the while decrying the very remote possiblity of section eight housing, low income residents, and using any other code word for anyone that isn't a WASP, essentially.
Racism isn't as bad here as other places, and it doesn't rise to the level of attacks on folks, it is more benign than that. It is not rampant, from what I can tell...but to say that a town of 55000+ doesn't have any intolerant dolts is ludicrous, and one is too many. The defense of it is always the interesting part...just wait.

Hey Dave and Shadow moron,
If you dont like what goes on in Oak Lawn, move. Move into an area without so many racists, like the west side of Chicago. Good luck you liberal humps.

Harry G proudly to the top of racist list. If you don't like other types of people go back to the country of your ancestors and leave the great melting pot of the USA. And I'd rather live on the west side than next to you. And thanks for crawling out of the sewer and proving that Dave W was absolutely correct.
Hey all you anti-racists out there, welcome to Harry's Liberal Humps Club.

WIPED THE MIDDLE EAST FROM THE MAP?! Wow...are you signing up to go over there and stand in front to shoot them yourself?
What if the Middle East thinks that? Some of them have a nuclear weapon, so keep that in mind...Big fan of the Nazis, then, since you think genocide is appropriate to solve all your geo-political problems? What is the difference, right? They aren't YOU, so clear out the whole region, blow it all back to a sand dune, and it can all be happily ever after.
Clearly you put a lot of thought into this.

Dave & Shadow idiot , your parents actions are atypical of what led to the downfall of this once great country. They raised two liberal wussbags who want everyone to get along and sing Kumbaya. Guess what? Most of us dont want trouble making douchebags named Osama Jihad threatening hospital workers and fighting with cops in our town. If you two tools had your way, this country would turn into rathole, 3rd world, Middle eastern sewer. Who cares about being civil and respecting authority? Lets act like real jihadists and lets overrun a police station, kill them, and steal their weapons. I bet your buddy Osama Jihad Zeidan would be all for it, given his record with the O.L.P.D..

Harry G, I'm for heavy punishment for douchbags like this guy. Throw him in a cell with the other douchbags. I don't want any troublemakers here, Osama/Mike/Jose/Devon/or Patel. But hey tough guy, where were mouthing off on the other police blotter articles about drunks going off on Oak Lawn finest. Ohhhh, they didn't have THAT name. Won't hear any of Harry's tough talk if me or "Bob" gets drunk and rowdy and kick a car cause we're white.
You're the last one who should be talking about civil and authority as you have none, so crawl your racist behind back to the sewer and if you want to see a wussbag look in the mirror...and FYI, this still is a great country.

I just subscribed to this website you hack,thats why I havent complained about anyone else. This knobs arrest caught my eye, so did your whiney, liberal comments. Take your white guilt somewhere else slappy, it doesnt entitle you to tag anyone that disagrees from your opinion a racist. As far as authority, I dont wear a badge, however I am a civilized American that wants nothing to do with animals that act like your friend Osama Jihad. I obey the law and I dont want to be around white guilt douchebags like you either. Go over to Marquette Park and tell them how much you dislike racist white people, nobody in Oak Lawn wants to hear it. These racists that you tag are actually realists, calling it as they see it.

Boringold, Of course you can say whatever you want. You want to call dumb drunks terrorists, go ahead. You want to wipe countries off the face of the earth and kill a few hundred million human beings, hey, thats you. But realize that you're opinion is NOT "not politically correct", its violent, extremist and racist. Enjoy your freedom of speech and go ahead and give your donations to favorite fascist/nazi/KKK. Have fun blowing up the world! Make sure you write your congressman and senators!
