USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Despite pressure from leftist Democrat politicians, the Erie County, NY DA is courageously prosecuting two dozen people who were arrested for looting during the recent “Western NY Blizzard of 2022.”
This DA spent time in FL and personally witnessed widespread looting following hurricanes.
Accordingly, he has scant tolerance!
Several hundred more looters should have been arrested, but the police were as paralyzed as everyone else!
Those currently being prosecuted were not stealing food or vital supplies. They are all seedy criminals, stealing TV sets, etc., strictly for thievery and profit.
This spate of looting clearly demonstrates to all (except the voluntarily blind) that anything disturbing civil order, even relatively briefly and even when confined to a local area, invites instant, widespread, grievous criminality!
Like bacteria, dangerous criminals are always present and looking for low-risk opportunities to “revert to type.” There is no felony that they will not commit! They are held in check only by aggressive policing and relentless prosecution (both of which are currently out of style).
Innocent citizens, frantically digging out from this natural disaster, found themselves simultaneously confronting motivated, dauntless, dangerous criminals, with any kind of police protection far away and unavailable- for days, maybe weeks!
Leftists have told these same citizens that they can’t have guns because they “don’t need them!” Leftist hypocrites mouthing this “advice” are themselves, of course, heavily armed!
“Private-sector preparedness is not a luxury! It represents ‘the cost of doing business’ in our post-9/11 world. It is ignored at tremendous risk- in lives, money, and national security.” ~ 9/11 Commission Report, 2004
In 2023, it would appear politicians have sincerely taken their own 2004 advice,
… but don’t want us to!

The only thing unusual about the Buffalo looting was it the first time many of us ever saw them use a snowstorm as cover. It’s unfortunate police weren’t more assertive in protecting these defenseless shopkeepers. Because you can be sure that Buffalo police were huge factors in why these shopkeepers are unarmed and defenseless in the first place,
We had a major snow storm and some people lost power for 9 days. Just before it hit the east coast.
I visited several neighbors asking if they needed help.
There was no looting going on.
I wonder why rural America vs big city hell holes I guess.
America doesn’t have a racist problem, it has a problem race.
When did it become taboo to shoot looters?
Looting used to be rewarded by getting shot.
There were no antiWhite riots in armed White areas for a reason, and the street and state criminals know what would happen to them. Luckily, other folks have figured that out as well and have armed up. Buffalo, had icy road Arabs using their 2nd Amendment to protect their property with deadly force, in violation of the state laws, which protect the criminals. Living criminals are job security and means to get more authority over us Citizens. Older folks used religion to force the bad people on us and expand the government. The video, had one guy excitedly cheering on… Read more »
The stupid ass people voted for these stupid ass politicians that will not hold, thieves, murderers, etc. accountable for their actions you got what you voted for!!!
Spot on John – but don’t forget to place a good part of the blame on more than just “far left politicians”. I do believe it was the GOP that pushed through the Patriot Act in 2001 – and multiple Congresses have been renewing that bullschitt ever since. It increased the size, and “authority” of the Federal government over “We the People” and many of these blue states have taken that baton and run even farther down the totalitarian path with it. Far to many elements in our society look to the citizenry as “unwashed masses” incapable of self reliance.… Read more »
