A deadly blizzard has hit upstate New York leaving upwards of 30 people dead. The snowstorm also brought significant cover for looters; many stores were ransacked as police were busy helping others.

Some businesses had their windows smashed, while others had every item stolen off the shelves. Mayor Byron Brown said, "People who are out looting when people are losing their lives in this harsh winter storm is just absolutely reprehensible." Buffalo police said they made a few arrests of the looters, but one, in particular, escaped jail. 


Some people are referring to him as the "Gumball Gangster," a man who was caught on camera running down the street holding a gumball machine. He has on a yellow ski mask, which amusingly makes his face look like a giant gumball. Why anyone cares about a single gumball machine that probably is full of less than 100 dollars is anyone's guess.



While police are concerned, people on the internet are more entertained by this man's antics.





Let's hope he gets what he wanted out of stealing a single gumball machine.
