Fear City? Mayor de Blasio walks back words on gun violence anxieties

“What I was saying … and I appreciate the opportunity to clarify, is New Yorkers, yeah, we have a lot of challenges we have to overcome, but we overcome them,” he said. “Is there anxiety? Of course. Is there fear? Yes. I’m not saying there’s not any. I’m saying New Yorkers don’t get intimidated. We fight back.”
