As someone who has been through Flatbush you don't want to be in Flatbush unless you are with someone who is from Flatbush. And even then it would probably still be pretty fucking sketchy. It's easily one of the worst parts of Brooklyn. Brownsville is the only part that's worse off the top of my head, and by a lot so, but Brownsville is also by far one of the worst parts of NYC period.
I was gonna kill the rest of that Southern Comfort and the other 6 pack of High Lifes I bough last night but I think I might just chill now. Take a breather and let the liver rest some.
probly some junky cunt gonna hock it in for a half weight of haz
seriously though, you gotta keep something in your home for these types of situations, lucky your mum and brother were uninjured so I guess you can be thankful for that
