What did the tenants of the Atlantic Terminal Mall expect from a mall at Atlantic & Flatbush, served by numerous subway and buses? Were they that stupid or uninformed? Kings Plaza, also served by numerous bus lines, has had similar issues including shootings. It won't matter in a few years because as the current Atlantic Terminal Mall leases expire many of the existing tenants will have realized their mistakes and not re-sign. Throw in NY's 'raise the age' law and you'll see why the mostly black 'youths' know they can get away with everything up to brutal assaults. You voted for all this.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever been to this mall? If yes, what did you think of it?

Have been there many times. It's a mall in the sense that those who've never been to an actual suburban mall probably enjoy it. In reality, it's not a shopping destination a sane person would patronize. In essence, it's indicative of NYC at present.

Why did you go there so much if you did not like the shopping experience? I personally don't like it myself but I've only been in the actual mall like twice.

While it's distressing that things apparently haven't changed for the better over the years, the number of fights between high schoolers (and forget about the theft that you know is happening) I've seen at and around that mall makes me appreciate this move even more. It's sad that things had to go this far, but I do recall things being very bad there during certain hours. The kids from Brooklyn Tech weren't the troublemakers, but rather kids from the Science Skills Center, Westinghouse, Acorn, and this other area school that was an "alternative" school for students who got expelled from their old schools (it used to be located a few blocks away) were the problem.
I remember Kings Plaza Mall enacting such a policy numerous times over the years. Note, in Kings Plaza's case, the policy was never permanent and conditions on the ground led the policy to be lifted (or reenacted) at different times. Hopefully something similar can take place here.
Teenagers can be such trouble sometimes that my mother would make sure that we'd be done at the beach, etc., before high schools let out for the day.
