It that so? Well, my wife was waiting at Walmart-three years ago, the day after Thanksgiving in Woodstock GA. She got there about 1:00 AM. The stuff on sale would be released at 5:00 AM. I thought it would be ok. I went to Best Buy where there had been a stabbing over and XBox the week before in the parking lot. I didn’t want her there. She was second in line. The crowd grew to a couple of thousand at least. Walmart opened the doors. My wife was knocked down and assaulted by another shopper because of a computer. People jumped over her. She could have been killed.
Thank God, there was an off duty police officer there. My wife had watched the crowd grow and expressed concern, the Manager ignored the warning. Two other poeple were injured that day-not badly. My wife went to the emergency room with a concussion. Walmart was negligent three years ago, and they are negligent in this case. They know people have gotten hurt in other years and will probably lose in court. I hope the employees family gets lots of money-Walmart knowingly risked this employees life. They should have known better.
Yes that is so. I’m sorry your wife was injured but that has nothing to do with the demographics of Valley Stream, where this incident occurred.
Here are some random comments about people who posted reviews of the green acres mall in valley stream, adjacent to the walmart in question:
When I was younger this mall was so nice and fancy. Now you pretty much should have to walk through a metal detector to get through. The surrounding area isn’t very nice either.
You’e better off driving to Roosevelt mall, it’s much nicer, cleaner and fresher.

Yes the area surrounding the mall isn’t too safe but if you come here during daylight hours and park close to the stores you should be pretty good. As far as malls go this probably falls somewhere in the middle. I think this place is better than the dreaded Kings Plaza just because it has more stores. Roosevelt Mall is a better mall but for me is a longer drive.

If you like to shop all day and then have it all stolen from you as you walk to your car then this is the place for you!!!!
This mall has been an eye sore since the 80s and does not seem to be getting better...it actually gets worse each time I visit or drive by it. Speaking of drive by, be careful not to shop after dark because they have constant shootings and robberies in the area. Just drive a few miles to Roosevelt Field and enjoy your day of shopping in peace.
Like i said, it is odumbo land, patronized by acorn-types.
