Authorities in Buffalo, New York, have responded to reports of looting in the aftermath of a deadly winter storm that claimed the lives of at least 35 people.
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown condemned winter storm looters at a press conference on December 26, 2022, after a historic blizzard dumped nearly 6 feet of snow in Erie County, New York.
"People who are out looting when people are losing their lives in this harsh winter storm is just absolutely reprehensible," Brown said."I don’t know how these people can even live with themselves, how they can look at themselves in the mirror. They are the lowest of the low. "And from some of the pictures that we’ve seen in social media of these looters, they’re not looting foods and medicines. They’re just looting items that they want," he added. "So, these aren’t even people in distress. These are people that are taking advantage of a natural disaster and the suffering of many in our community to take what they want from retailers – also, potentially putting [emergency response] services at risk in the communities where they are looting.
