Atlantic Center Security

I not too long ago returned home from a shopping trip at Atlantic Center. My Target browsing was cut short by a HUGE group of angry, shouting, cursing, teen boys. I sensed a melee brewing, so I got the hell out of the store. To my dismay, the teens followed right behind me. The group began to disperse on the escalators, but quickly reconvened on the main level. More shouting and cursing, including threats of violence continued. Myself and another woman split up to find some type of security or random police officer who may have happened to be in there. Approximately 5 minutes later, we bumped into each other again, neither of us having found anyone of authority to diffuse the situation. I figured I did my best and decided to just go home. As I stepped out onto the Flatbush Avenue exit, the groups of teens began running towards each other hurling insults and threats of imminent bodily harm. I damn near had to toss myself into oncoming traffic to avoid the ensuing melee.
Does Atlantic Center have no security officers? Do the police not patrol this place? Who the hell knew that Target could be such an anger inducing place in the early evening? (All of this happened around 4:45-5:00pm)
Snaps – Don’t castigate yourself for not phoning 911 – your immediate problem was protecting yourself. But I would do as denton suggests. If you’d pretended to take a photo your camera would most likely have been stolen – not a great idea to pause in a war zone.
What’s that spam from sherry?
Thanks for that hot, undoubtedly useful tip, soundfreak!
A couple of weeks ago, I was up on the top floor by Burlington. I went to the window to take a bird’s eye view pic of the arena site and as soon as I lifted my camera, a security guard appeared out of nowhere and said no pictures allowed. So, if you need security, pretend to take a pic of the arena site.
and snappy im not making light of your story, sorry.
that’s why i try my hardest to avoid any areas where low income teenage males congregate. they are the scourge of society and always (99.9 percent of the time) the cause for tragic things happening.
*rob*
they were angry because you didn’t have brownstoner tshirts for sale in their size.
whoa. i read that whole thing thinking it was some crazy paranoid white lady transplant from wisconsin who wrote that only to see it was snappy lol.
snappy, the security at the the atlantic center mall are just as ghetto as the teenagers…

cmu, as a likely immigrant student, she should be rewarded for her cut-and-paste abilities but needs to concentrate on her grammar lessons.
I bet she’s afraid to shop at Atlantic Center

Pretty good going, sherry1, THREE errors in one sentence. I guess you did not say “good” student!
You’re also a douchebag, sherry1
