As a winter snow apocalypse descended upon Buffalo, N.Y., ahead of Christmas Day, city residents faced another disaster: A looting and crime wave.
Multiple posts on social media show the chaos as police worked like mad to contain the wave of business thefts as shops and stores closed down due to the inclement weather, and most residents stayed indoors.
But not all: Scores of others saw the snow emergency as an opportunity to take what didn’t belong to them, with some containing audio of multiple shots being fired.

Injuries unknown.

“Looting of stores in Buffalo and New York at the same time as the extreme cold and frost,” said one Twitter post along with video of a ransacked business.

Another user noted that the mainstream media was downplaying the amount of looting that was taking place, which is par for the course for our dishonest ‘news’ outlets.
BREAKING: Looting in Buffalo being significantly downplayed by local media. A simple Facebook search of “Buffalo looting” shows multiple incidents. @WGRZ @ViralNewsNYC #BuffaloBlizzard2022 #BuffaloLooting pic.twitter.com/Rd0EbUpHO9

“Looting in Buffalo being significantly downplayed by local media,” said one Twitter user. Local media outlet WGRZ reported, “New York State Police confirm reports of 2 looting incidents..”
“Yo, idiots @misslynchnyc and @GovKathyHochul the city is spiraling out of control .. looting, seniors dying, and you keep taking f**king pictures and pretending that everything is ok? You are truly helpless idiots..no sense of control or urgency,” another angry Twitter user posted.

“Besides looting, the blizzard-related death toll hit 25 in the metro area this morning, according to Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, surpassing deaths of the 1977 blizzard. Conditions were so severe that even emergency responders needed rescuing,” Zero Hedge reported, noting further that the disaster was being compounded by knuckleheads who used the occasion to increase their criminal behavior.
Atlas News, an independent media outlet, also reported that the looting was far more widespread:
At approximately 1730 EST, reports began to emerge in local media of looting incidents in Buffalo, NY, where residents are becoming desperate after three days of intense snowfall and cold temperatures. New York State Police confirmed the looting incidents.
Just finished talking to Amherst Supervisor Brian Kulpa and Clarence Supervisor Pat Casilio. Both report many impassable roads, or at best 1 lane is open on major routes. Main Street and Sheridan Drive in Clarence have at MOST 1 lane open for emergency traffic and Transit is bad.

Amherst town supervisor is a Democrat. Shocker. Is he vacationing this weekend too? https://t.co/O94ShFu4xa

Our society is literally teetering on the edge of civility. We are about to lose everything, thanks to years of the far-left Democratic Party tearing at the fabric of our society.
