Buffalo has been plunged into chaos as brazen looters wreak havoc on storefronts amid a historic blizzard that dumped six feet of snow on the northern New York city.
It has become the deadliest storm to hit the western part of the state in 50 years, with at least 27 people reported dead as scores of others remain trapped in their houses and cars.
Roads in the city remain impassable under several feet of heavy snow, as first responders struggle to reach those who remain trapped days after the storm hit.

Let’s hear the lefties criticize Texas again for the record cold blackouts 2 years ago. Seems to me there was no looting at all here.
Hochul is a big fail.
Buffalo is a minority white town, so this is allowed.
Send in the National Guard.
They will just blame the nearest Republican for it.
The administration has honed that skill beautifully. i.e. Blaming the border crisis on republicans failing to work with them is right out of 1984. The GOP is dumbfounded and frozen into inaction by that policy, a policy of blatant flagrant lies from the Dems. A coordinated response would be in order if there was a single leader in that party.
They aren’t even stealing food or medicine the article says.
Some of the people only grabbed toilet paper and paper towels (which I can see).
Also good to read that some people shot at the looters.
Good to see some people have nerve even in NY.
Looting in a blizzard? That’s a new one.
They really were completely unleashed in 2020.
“Neither rain, sleet or snow”...
Answer: They are not that far away (i.e. walking distance)
“or the story could be grossly exaggerated”
Most likely it’s clickbait.
A city is paralyzed by a blizzard that includes 8 to 12-foot drifts. Temperatures are around zero with -40 windchills. Nobody can travel. Yet somehow looters are able to transverse all these obstacles and loot stores. That leads me to only one conclusion. The looters are Canadian Eskimos traveling in dogsleds or humping it wearing whalebone snowshoes.
In Nov 77, our office in Buffalo needed a manager for 4 months till a full time one was hired. One sap in DC volunteered to go for the “management experience” (guess he had not been in the army, never volunteer). 4 months beginning I think on 15Nov. March 15th a message arrived in DC. “I am coming back tomorrow. Not sure how I will get there as my car is buried under a snow pile somewhere on the highway. In any event whether it be by plane, train, bus or dog sled, I am leaving. In May I will come back to look for my car.
ABC “News” was on at the gym this morning.
Much ado about the storm aftermath in Buffalo.
Single mothers out of food . . . etc.
Not a word about all the looting.
Oh.
When I was a kid, but don’t remember any news about looting then.
Because in the good old days they got shot for doing it.
Buffalo, New York...
Black - 33.3%
Hispanic - 12.2%
Non-Hispanic White - 44.7%
Can’t find bread, milk, or baby formula in liquor stores or furniture stores in my neck of the woods.
Buffalo must be very avant guarde!
I said yesterday that they need to declare martial law and allow the police and public that are legally armed to shoot stinking looters. Reminds me of Hurricane Katrina and those people wading through waste high water polluted with crap from the crapper areas, snakes, and gators and all kinds of crap in the water, but to loot that 45-inch TV from the flooded Walmart was worth the risk, I guess. They looted the entire town as cops and city officials just watched.
Are there any white or Asian looters?

Looters should be shot on site and left for dead in the streets where they might have a chance to redeem themselves by serving as an example to others.
Yes, I really mean it.
