“When you hear the phase ‘throw the book at’ someone, well, in this case right here, the defendant just got ‘War and Peace,’" District Attorney John Flynn said at a news conference after the arraignment.

 

Forget "War and Peace".

Throw "This the Prophet Mohamed" at him which in unabridged edition measures 16.40-by-26.44 feet, weighs approximately 3,306 pounds, and consists of 429 pages.

Buffalo Is Still Reeling From Mass Shooting: ‘They Already Don’t Care’

Help came from official channels, too. Right after the shooting, food and monetary donations poured into the city. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and the Buffalo Bills visited. Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown prayed with members of the community. Democrats including New York Sen. Chuck Schumer advocated for national gun control and placed blame on conservative, pro-gun right politicians on Capitol Hill. The state recently beefed up its red flag laws, which the Buffalo shooter was able to circumvent, and raised the age to purchase semi-automatic weapons from 18 to 21, among other weapon reforms.

But the media attention Buffalo received in the wake of the shooting subsided pretty quickly, something the residents anticipated from the start.
