Twelve days after the triple stabbing and murder on 14th Street between First Avenue and Avenue A, the East Village block has returned to a quiet place where businesses, vendors, and their employees can go about their daily lives without living in fear that one of them will become a statistic.
The NYPD has maintained a constant presence on the block since the murder involving illegal street vendors and many are grateful they continually check in with local businesses.
An article in Our Town makes note the situation, quoting the befuddled City Council member Carlina Rivera who said, "we are also upset that this area remains chaotic and unkempt since the pandemic."
Rivera's failure to handle the situation for seven years is why the area has remained chaotic and unkempt, something she and her office should really stop drawing attention to with vacuous quotes. Her office hasn't offered any statistics on her 'Street health, outreach, and wellness' initiative, aptly named SHOW, but Carlina Rivera did manage to find the time to casually pose on the blood stains.
Good for you.
