Burned ..

 

New York City’s mayor-elect issued a stern warning Thursday night to those expecting to continue the riots and looting the nation’s largest city has seen over the past two years.

"Not my city," Eric Adams, a former police captain who was elected in November to succeed termed-out the current mayor, said at a Police Athletic League event at the Harvard Club, according to the New York Post.

"We’re not going to surrender to those who are saying ‘We’re going to burn down New York’," Adams said.

The message seemed squarely aimed at Hawk Newsome, a local leader of the Black Lives Matter movement who last month threatened "riots," "fire" and "bloodshed" if Adams tried to revive past anti-crime practices that were discarded during the de Blasio years.

Is that shaking down the elected mayor?  Just a thought.
