One year after the massacre: Buffalo residents fight for change | ABC News



The United States had 636 mass shootings in 2022, but the May 14 massacre in Buffalo was different. An 18-year-old white supremacist targeted a predominantly black community and the only grocery store serving his neighborhood, killing 10 residents. The massacre was a tragedy in a decades-long struggle for black Buffalo residents, who are coming together to create long-term change. https://abcn.ws/3o17pUL SUBSCRIBE to ABC News on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2vZb6yP Latest Updates: http://abcnews.go.com/ Watch FULL EPISODES on Hulu: http://abcn. ws/3bzvQQn #news #Buffalo #Buffalo514 #Tops #TopsSupermarket #TopsShooting #TopsMassacre #BuffaloShooting #MassShooting #BuffaloHealing

  1. The history of the community is a similar story in Black communities nationwide. The community that I grew up in is no longer in existence due to gentrification. I'm surprised that there are any Black communities left tbh

    I hope that they understand the risks of that kind of money coming in. They might not have a community anymore.

  2. Rest in heaven all those people souls

  4. The FBI knew of this behavior. He was not from here.

  5. People are frustraited? Should I help You live out Your own life? Should I carry Your own resposibility? Do You need mote Marksists and Lenin's books? Socializm? Is it what God teachrs us in Bible?

  6. Until you start reporting accurately on black gun crime, don't even try to tell me I should care about "wHiTe sUpReMaCiStS".

  7. I get you're in pain, but I'm now letting you get away with this without this comment, you're race baiting pieces of s**t. Black folks literally do a mass shooting every single day but no media coverage. This is sick move to California! They're giving you all 1 mil and destroying the economy. It's gonna be crazy Nike is gonna be banking!

  8. Maybe don't come here if you don't want to deal with racism lol

  9. The problem is, is that black people have got to stop expecting others to save us. This begging bowl mentality has to stop….its not working. The only way we can rise is jf we conextogether and help ourselves

  10. May this senseless tragedy become a good turning point for the community of Buffalo, with peace , prosperity for all ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

  11. The Republicans have complete a stranglehold on gun policy. Does anyone think they are doing a good job protecting innocent people?

  12. Why doesnโ€™t God stop bullets from killing his followers? Is a year later still too soon? Itโ€™s time for Black people to drop the religious nonsense and get serious about protecting ourselves from the NEVERENDING VIOLENCE against us. No? That is a choice as wellโ€ฆ

  13. Sorry, but who the h*ll is โ€œhealing from hateโ€? The people that were massacred, or the ones that lost their family members? I am sure the one that did the senseless killing and so many others like him needs to heal from HATE.

  14. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hear your pain and I know that God will continue to give you the strength to carry on. I applaud you all for the efforts you are making to keep the memories of your loved ones alive and to heal and rebuild your community. Special shout out to the young man who started the Co-op. May God prosper you tremendously. Above all, may you get justice for the heinous crime that was committed against you. โค๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ˜ข. Btw, this comes to you from the Caribbean. ๐ŸŽ‰

  15. i found the story of the food co-op to be really inspiring, wish that was something i saw in other cities

  16. If the Buffalo government wanted to do one thing to commemorate those victims of racist violence, they would return the stadium to its original place INSTEAD of building another stadium across the road in Orchard Park, one of the most redundant corrupt decisions Buffalo has made in the last two decades.

  17. I grew up not from not far from there, my question as a 50 yr old black man is, how many black lives have been exterminated by our own since this happened..So called white supremacy is the LEAST of black folks problems…Many of these people were children of God, they are just fine..In a heck of a better place than what we are stuck with.. Yes this was horrible, but let's not get so immersed in things that WON'T help. Holding hands, and singing old negro spirituals ain't the answer. Accountability, transparency, and truth will tho…Time to wake up black people, not everyone is truly in your corner, STOP BEING GULLIBLE!! ABC, NBC, CNN, hell, and YOUR master awaits you!!!๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ

  18. Moved to Buffalo for work a few years ago. Thanks for this. Local media hasnโ€™t covered this history so thoroughly.

  19. I have Lost words!! I I've had enough.. Yes ever last one of you have my deepest sympathy even you all who are not directly affected. I've had enough of my Black People being murdered bye racist white folks enough. ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

  20. "They took the best of us" ๐Ÿ˜ข

  21. Weโ€™re getting close to election time. Watch Democrats ramp up their โ€œwhite supremacyโ€ rhetoric. The greatest threat to Americans is not white supremacy. Itโ€™s our government. Especially when itโ€™s lead by this racist dementia case.

  22. This is never gonna stop, it's gonna happen again and again, more people are gonna die all because a piece of paper written hundreds of years ago says everyone can have guns because Murica… Absolutely insane!

  23. That is the ignorance of African Americans. And their thought process has existed from the time the plantations until present day. You CANโ€™T EVER let your guard down when trapped behind enemy lines. It is not enough to attain higher education, pioneer in many fields, work honest careers, become financially independent , or entrepreneurs. Time and time again American history has proven that intentional efforts to destroy thriving Black communities.

  24. White supremacy is the biggest threat to all of U.S..

  25. Itโ€™s pretty disturbing how quickly the news cycle just moved on from this blatant hate crime. This is nothing less than GOP sponsored domestic terrorism but because the GOP has such a disproportionate amount of power, the mass media has to turn a blind eye and bury the truth.

  27. Serbia has almost every gun control measure Democrats want and a mass shooting just happened. California has an assault weapons ban and more mass shootings per capita than Texas. Armed security and mental health, not gun grabbing!

  29. white supremacy is the biggest evil in the world!
