'If we cannot sleep, de Blasio won't sleep': Furious New York residents honk their horns outside the NYC Mayor's home in the middle of the night over his refusal to address the constant fireworks across the city keeping them up at night
2020-06-23
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Motorists honked their horns as they lined up on East End Avenue just outside Gracie Mansion on New York's Upper East Side late on Monday

  • Protesters were angry over Mayor Bill de Blasio's inaction in face of widespread use of illegal fireworks across the five boroughs in recent weeks

  • Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams told residents to not call 311 or 911 about complaints over illegal fireworks in New York City

  • He suggested residents rely on community response to solve issue

  • More than 1,700 complaints were recorded in the first half of June alone - 80 times as many as it recorded last year at the same time

  • Adams said police should focus on stopping the flow of illegal fireworks into New York City

  • Similar complaints have been made across the country in cities like Philadelphia, Las Vegas and places in California's Bay Area

  • The surge in firework displays comes amid demonstrations and protests over the death of African-American man George Floyd
