Buffalo Shooting – Threat Update (5/16/22)
self | jimjohn

Posted on 05/16/2022 3:08:04 PM PDT by jimjohn

Buffalo (NY) Metropolitan Area – 17:30 Hours: First the May 14 attack, and now, the psychological warfare begins…

Due to what appears to be a Facebook post, or at least circling around of ‘racial’ threats made on major public establishments in the northern and eastern suburbs of Buffalo NY. The threats were made to occur during the afternoon hours on this day.

So as not to make matters worse, I will not go into details on these threats.

However, we have confirmed reports that many of these and other public enterprises have closed for the evening, and a heavy law enforcement presence are active and on high alert in these areas.

(Western NY Freepers – please THINK before deciding to post what you may have heard or read on socials. Remember: this is a National forum. Commerce has reportedly been all but shut down in these suburbs. Let’s not cause it to spread.)

As a Western New Yorker, I actually had to go into a Tops Friendly Market today – like thousands of others. Everyone is looking over their shoulders here. It is clear that people here are on edge, and becoming very cognizant of their own surroundings.

And the current occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the District of Columbia is due to arrive in Buffalo on 5/17.

This is a developing story…

More: From Niagara Falls (NY) ACTION WIRE:

13:40 hrs 5/15/22: Multiple police personnel responded to the area of Wegmans [supermarket] on Military Rd on Monday, May 16, 2022 after reports that an individual inside Wegmans was heard threating to shoot people inside the store.

According to a witness, there as a male in the men’s restroom, who was overheard talking to himself and stating that he was going to shoot people within the store. The individual exited the restroom continuing to talk to himself and was heard saying that he “didn’t care” about the court or police repercussions.

Law enforcement was immediately notified by management at Wegmans. By the time police arrived, the make had left Wegmans and was walking along Military Road. He was immediately surrounded by five-six police cars and taken into custody.

No further information on this matter is available at this time. Niagara Falls NY is approximately 20 miles north of Buffalo, NY.

For those not in this area, Top’s Friendly Markets and Wegmans are the two major grocers in the Western New York Area. Think Kroger, Albertsons, Piggly Wiggly, Market Basket, Price Chopper, Meijer, H-E-B, etc. We are not sugar-coating this, people. Stay alert. Stay safe.

Local Freepers, I can be reached via private mail.

That is all.

When I was kid growing up in NY City in the 1970s and 80s, one would regularly see men masturbating on broadway or other major streets.

NY has lowered the bar for what gets a police response.

Hopefully... They are not only taking the additional threats seriously... But have account for all variants of “head fake” that this could be.

All that LEO presence in those new areas... Hopefully they have stepped up their presence in other “high value target areas” as well in case the above is a fake specifically to draw them away from the real targets...

Of course, you can veer off into Vincini-land (hat tip Princess Bride) with circular reasoning on that one.

Wouldn’t it be best to do what the Founders wanted us to do?

Well that's a plus in this day and age.

As happens with Xiden.

Live by gun control. Die by gun control. Notice that you don’t see this going on in Wyoming or Idaho. Because these perps would get dead real quick. Nope. They like the big cities where the left wingers do half of their work for them.

Hope I don’t too soon, (already an old codger by some standards).

It’s just amazing though how many tragic, unpredictable, crises manifest themselves to cause a major (democratic party) voting demographic to be in fear and stoke old hatreds and gin up the angry youth into the streets when an election is coming and especially if the outcome is in doubt. Let’s get the womxn (Roe v Wade Arises), blacks (BLM/Antifa, gun violence - except Chicago), Jewish (numerous attacks), Covid-19/20/21/22, Globull Warming/Climate Change), Mean Don’t Say Creepy Pedophile laws, etc.

If this shooting was not at least influenced not planned, it still suits the Deep State and Big-Creepy-Brother Bureaus so closely to their needs that anything seems plausible.

Just returned from a Tops in the suburbs. Not very busy, but it's a Tuesday and this store usually isn't all that busy. I didn't get the impression that anyone was more cautious than normal, but I also didn't give it much thought. Democrats will definitely be aiming for some gun-grabbing given the number of shootings like this over the past couple of weeks.
