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.

When the power shuts the alarms off and takes down the cameras, it is the signal for massive looting to begin.

True, hot weather is more conducive but five finger discount shopping is always in season.

Self-fulfilling prophesy. Hochul said it was like a war zone. So they complied with her description.

Good point. I know MA still has a jab mandate for state employees, CT had a jab or test mandate for a while, but dropped that in early 2022 or so. I wouldn’t be shocked in NYS or lefty cites like Buffalo have one in place still.

It’s the same ones that loot every time. It’s the same ones that contribute nothing to society.

These folks are morally void. Something is missing.

This says something about the residents of Buffalo. I don’t ever recall looting when we had killer storms in Washington/Virginia in the 90s. People just stayed home and dug out their cars and driveways.

In my area we have some stores smaller stores such as CVS, auto parts, etc. that in nicer areas have larger front windows. In other areas and in some newer remodels, they just have like a 1-2 ft tall window at/near the top of the walls in the front.

“In other areas and in some newer remodels, they just have like a 1-2 ft tall window at/near the top of the walls in the front.”

What choice, in the end. I actually think it will go much further, something like you get to play with fake display items, and then scan them, pay for them, and it gets sent out to you (with bank-like security walls separating the real goods from the displays).

...and to think of what we were as a country, even 20 years ago, not to mention 50 years ago.

You’ve never been to Chicago, have you? Try living here. You’d see how little exaggeration that requires, because when one small group starts looting, more small groups get into it, and then it turns into LA ca. 1992 all over again.

Okay, that was a slight exaggeration, but things escalate very quickly.

Just like all major cities, there are a few well heeled areas but the outskirts are filled with ferals. The productive class has dwindled in recent years and it’s a dying city.

No looting in 77

They prosecuted over 100 people for looting during Buffalo's blizzard of 77.

You said it best. In Blue and Purple States, the Steal has been in place for decades.

When victim groups/POC commit obvious amounts of crime, the Media refuse to report it, citing racism. If this were 100 Swedes stealing, trust me, Jake Tapper would get on his platform shoes to scream it from the rooftops.

The issue is, as we know it, Swedes in the US would not steal, statistically. It’s sad to see that most stereotypes are not going anywhere. I like black people, I just cannot understand black culture...I blame it on what the Dems have done to the black family.

I doubt the current batch gets prosecuted.
