De Blasio shuts down Staten Island bar - Sends in Sheriff

Mac’s Public House on Staten Island was shut down by NYC Sheriff’s tonight after it defied Governor Cuomo’s rules and declared the bar "Autonomous Zone".

In recent days, the bar owner announced that everything will be free and they will be accepting donations.

A crowd of people gathered to protest outside.

According to Scott LoBaido the owner was also charged with a 5,000 fine. Five officers from the Sherrif’s office stood outside Mac’s Public House as Danny Presti was taken away in handcuffs by sheriffs at 7:15 p.m. He and Keith McAlarney own the Grant City tavern.
