Tuesday afternoon Mayor Bill de Blasio came to Burnside Avenue to tour the looting that occurred the night before with Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., City Council members Fernando Cabrera and Vanessa Gibson, Assemblyman Victor Pichardo, and community leaders.
The Mayor met with the Bronx elected officials at the corner of Burnside and Jerome Avenues where they went inside the Bronx Optical Canter which had been looted Monday night. Mayor de Blasio then went to several other stores which had been looted talking with the store owners. Some were happy that the mayor came to see what had happen, but a few said they were angry because there were no police officers on or patrolling the street Monday night.
