Poblanos owner responds after Facebook backlash

Is under fire after comments he made on a facebook post this weekend.

Adrian de la torre, owner of poblanos on the north shore, was quoted saying "it's in their blood to steal and commit crimes."

The comment has caused an uproar.

However, de la torre says it was all taken out of context.

"i was first of all talking about the looters.

The full conversation, it was a long conversation, and it was just talking about the looters, and how it was okay to go around and breaking businesses down and burning them down, and that was the only way they were going to be heard.

I of course, i said something i shouldn't have."

Poblanos will be hosting a mixer in hopes of bringing the community together.

That will be saturday afternoon
