A Brooklyn man is facing charges after threatening to burn down new york's diamond district. He demanded the city's mayor and state governor come out to speak with him, or else he'd get some gasoline and set it on fire.
A Brooklyn man who threatened to burn down #Manhattan’s Diamond District if New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio didn’t meet his demands was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats.
The man identified himself as Ace #Burns. He said he is giving a demonstration from Barclay’s Center and then bringing it to City Hall. He said he wants the mayor and governor to come out and talk and provide the youth with direction.
He threatened to burn the Diamond District using gasoline if the two politicians did not meet his demands. The man made his demands during a live interview with Fox News.
The New York City Police Department put a picture of the man’s mask and said he was taken in to be interviewed.
The man’s real name is Israel Burns. In a video posted to his social media account, he can be seen giving a protest at #Brooklyn’s Barclay’s Center while wearing a Black Lives Matter medallion.
Burns was charged with making terroristic threats, aggravated harassment, and false reporting.
Officials say Burns is awaiting arraignment at the Brooklyn #Criminal Court.
De Blasio says he is lifting the city’s 8 p.m. curfew after police eased up on enforcing it Saturday.

"Because we got each day better and better situation, more and more peaceful protesters coming out –Better situation overall, each day, fewer and fewer arrests. I made the decision to end the curfew. And honestly, I hope it's last time we will ever need a curfew in New York City."
