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.

I am in a location where one of the worse hurricanes to hit the US completely destroyed our town. LE and local/state/national guard said if you are out without proper ID and especially at night you would be dealt with on-sight!

I really don’t know, I’ve never been there. I remember reading it in the local newspaper when I was young. It made the headlines because it was so cold.

“Seems like a sign of a decaying society.”

You think so?
A society that does not know if a man is a woman or a man & woman or a .......
A society that approve of abortion on demand.
A society that legalises hard drugs.
A society that approves of ... too damn many things to list.

Yeah, I truly think you are correct.

Your friends are probably among that VAST population of low-info people who "vote Democrat because our family has always voted Democrat." These people have no idea what the Obama-Biden Democrats are doing to destroy the country. But there's no telling them that because, well, see my tagline.

None of this would be happening if it weren’t for the malevolent actions of a certain Donald John Trump!

Not too far from where I live, they’re starting to design and modify stores to be looter-resistant. Typically that means virtually no windows, bollards that block vehicles from getting to the entrance, and also security gates that can be lowered, should the locals become a bit ‘restless’.

Sounds like the county jail. Not kidding.

NOT!

As per wiki

There were 53 Hurricane Sandy-related deaths in the state of New York.[266]

or the story could be grossly exaggerated

This did happen but it's isolated to a particular neighborhood in Buffalo.

That doesn't excuse it but portraying the entire city as collapsing into chaos is inaccurate.

Not soon enough, the depravity and suffering are still localized. I believe there will be a widespread suffering before we are called home.

In Texas it’s already legal no emergency needed

According to the law here you can use deadly force to protect any property after dark
