I'm happy for any corrections that anybody can provide.  

So it seems that an internet rumor (featuring a snippet of a ring video or something), of a   gang "taking over" apartment complexes in Aurora CO has taken root, particularly on X/Twitter.   

The rumor is that the cops won't do anything.  According to the rumor, the cops are pissed because they  were slapped on the hand from beating and killing residents indiscriminately, so they are quiet quitting and not "taking on" the gangs.

Now, according to this storyline, the hell's angels are coming from all over the country to "take back" Aurora from the brown people. 

"Hell's Angels" is trending on Twitter.

Personally, if they can keep collateral damage to a minimum, I'm all here for criminal gangs from South of the Border having a shooting war with a domestic criminal gang (which is PRECISELY what the HA's are).  Here's to there being no survivors of this "war".

My Fox News watching contractor lady was talking about this this morning… (I had no clue)…apparently this is the invasion and we’re all going to die because Joe Biden will not “close the damn border.”

There is in fact Venezuelan gang crime in Greater Denver right now.

Lots of people think it's true, but nothing official is out about apartment take overs by Tren de Aragua (TdA).  Whatever is going on, the Aurora mayor and cops know about it, and now the Denver mayor knows, as well as the governor, who finally admits it after waffling and saying it was largely in the imagination of an Aurora councilwoman.

So having looked into it, it appears that a shitty property management company was neglecting its apartment complex so they could evict people and raise rates. When there was conflict, they turned around and tried to blame "Venezuelan gangs."

Quote

I live in north Aurora apparently near one of the apartment that has been taken over. I haven't actively checked out the complex but also, nothing has really changed where I live. Only thing I have noticed more is more cars driving around without plates.

https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/local-politics/conservative-leaders-claim-without-evidence-venezuelan-gangsters-control-parts-aurora/73-12ff2368-0a43-4bf8-8615-0ba06890aabe#m0jpjhy8nnapcv8rkba

Quote

The city of Aurora said CBZ Management property manager Zev Baumgarten faces a trial on 99 counts in Aurora Municipal Court in late August.

The New York-based property owners have enlisted a Florida-based public relations firm to contact journalists to make the case that the issue is the Venezuelan gang, not their neglect.

In addition to the three conservative city council members, the landlord has a defender and de-facto spokesperson in Republican congressional candidate John Fabbricatore, the retired ICE Field Office Director running against incumbent Democratic Rep. Jason Crow.

Well they asked them really politely “Are you Venezuelan gang members?” Then the gang members who are secretly MS-13 plants said “Why yes of course we are. Why would you think that we are not Venezuelan?” Pretty conclusive evidence right there.

It’s too late for you now. The Venezuelans already have you on the list of new neighborhoods they are coming to claim imminent domain over.

Wife had a conversation with her mom today (she lives in bumfuck E Texas) about this.  Her mom thinks the Mexicans who clean her house and help her out with projects are great (they are undocumented and she knows it), but that the Venezuelans are dangerous.  Wife asked her how she can tell the difference between Mexicans and Venezuelans and she didn't answer.  I'm guessing she thinks of the 'good' immigrants as Mexican and the 'bad' ones as other.

Next, ask her the difference between the Cubans who fled their homeland to escape a totalitarian regime (and were granted a special asylum status) and Venezuelans who are doing the same (but not given the same status). Would she agree with all those Republican Cubans in Florida being deported?

I'm posting from my backyard gazebo in south Denver. If it weren't for the kids playing football in the street, the evening bugs starting to chirp, the birds calling out, the leaves rustling from the light breeze, and the lawnmower a few doors over, I'm sure I would hear the constant gunfire and chaos from those damn Venezuelans. It's a true hellscape out here.

Careful, some of those Haitians could get in. That would piss off a lot of people, including the Miami Cubans.

Then ask her if she understands that some countries receive Temporary status and don't get sent home.

My cousin's house is over by there... just south of Colfax and Havana. 

He says the news is some bullshit. There's a pretty good sized rally in Colorado this weekend the the angels were probably headed to, not that part of aurora,  which is predominantly Hispanic anyway

It's truly amazing how stupid half of this country is.

There was a Photoshop of two pics of young Kamala Harris's face on a stripper's body, and I saw that forwarded on by at least three people I know on Facebook.  They were aghast that a former stripper was running for president and the mainstream media refused to talk about it.  Hook, line, and sinker idiocy.

Everything is exactly what you're being told it is, except for medical advice from doctors.

Part of me hopes they do stir up some shit on Inauguration Day.  We need a cleansing.

For a time we had a lady from Honduras cleaning our offices at work who made and sold the best tamales I ever had.  She would bring in 12 dozen and you had to move fast to get a dozen.  She stopped coming, so we asked the cleaning service about her.  Her asylum had been denied and she was deported.  The two guys bitching about it the most were both huge trumpanzees who were always on about "throw those damn illegals out!"  Weird folks.

Even Mike Coffman, Aurora's mayor and former Congressman, has had enough of Jurinsky's shit. You can tell he wishes she would stop.

Worth pointing out the Mayor of Aurora is a Republican and their police force has a well-earned reputation as among the most racist, brutal forces in the state.

Also the info from reddit is amazing.

Quote

Enough.

Aurora residents have had enough of their community and some of the most vulnerable people among us being made dangerously into pawns for a despicable right-wing political farce.

Some city and regional Republican lawmakers — especially Aurora Councilmember Danielle Jurisnky, Mayor Mike Coffman and congressional hopeful John Frabbricatore — owe Aurora, the state and the nation an apology for purposely generating terror in a foul and blatant grab for political gain.

In my almost 40 years of being a journalist, the nationally televised fabrication that Venezuelan gangsters run amok in Aurora is among the most despicable and dangerous stunts I’ve ever seen.

Aurora interim police Chief Heather Morris, late to the game in this controversy, made it unequivocal late Friday when Aurora released a video of her saying adamantly, “What we’re learning out here is that gang members definitely have not taken over this complex,” Morris said.

A community “overrun” and “taken over” by gangs is the outlandish fabrication that Jurinsky has perpetrated locally and nationally. She’s done it with the aid of propagandists posing as journalists at Fox News, the New York Post and a handful of local TV and print news outlets.

This grisly attempt at terrorizing Aurora residents, in hopes of swaying voters to back anti-immigrant candidates and causes, must stop.

These people have never and could not now care less about the decades-long struggles of some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the metro area.

Northwest Aurora has since the 1970s struggled with gang crime, street crime, apartment crime, prostitution, drug crime, wage theft, homelessness, dilapidated and run down apartments, incredible transiency and a city government that has looked the other way year after year — after year.

And suddenly, the public is expected to believe that, out of nowhere, there’s a gang problem in dubious apartments run into the ground by, coincidentally, the same landlord, which even Coffman called a “slumlord?”

For those who don’t know, in the 1980s and 1990s, “Alton-Beeler” streets, between Colfax and East 16th avenues, were synonymous with drive-by gang shootings. The problem was so bad that Aurora put up barricades in the area in the hopes that if gang members could no longer “drive by” or through, they wouldn’t slow down to shoot up the area.

From Monaco Parkway in Denver to Chambers Road in Aurora, along the East Colfax Corridor, neighborhoods have been saturated with anti-gang and anti-youth violence programs that have had some success and plenty of failure over the years at stemming gang and youth violence. Despite the ebb and flow of gangs, or what purport to be gangs, northwest Aurora has been — generally — a safe community where poor people struggle with problems unique to poor people.

There’s no doubt that gang and youth violence is a horrific societal ill, but it’s hardly new, and it has not now nor ever paralyzed the community.

Jurinsky’s foul and foolish fever-dream doesn’t even pass the common-sense test, let alone the evidence test.

One of the first cockamamie stories she retells came from the discredited landlord that owns these buildings. Apartment landlord officials told the Sentinel and others that roving Venezuelan immigrant gangsters were “collecting”rent from apartment tenants and then not giving it to the landlord. Supposedly, that’s why he couldn’t pay the apartment complex water bill or have the trash removed.

Huh.

Tell me the apartment complex where anyone collects cash rent at the door. By Coffman’s own admission — and his lament — most, if not all, of the Venezuelan immigrants in these apartments have been “placed there” by Denver aid agencies, and they pay the rent directly to the landlord, just like everybody else does.

Even Chief Morris said Friday the story was bogus, and they couldn’t find a single resident who told that ludicrous yarn.

It absolutely doesn’t mean there aren’t serious problems in some of these apartments. And it doesn’t mean that police and the city don’t lack the resources to help solve and prevent problems associated with some of these apartment complexes, primarily ensuring that landlords keep them up to code and enforce apartment-community rules and regulations.

But many of these apartment complexes have been hot-spots of theft, assault and even homicide for years, even decades, and neither Jurinsky nor Coffman have fled to national TV shows to lament these issues before.

The real crisis now is that they have been permitted to say outright or wrongly suggest that they speak for the city council or the city of Aurora.

They do not. Aurora and the nation needs to be set straight that, off the council dais where they represent only themselves, they do not speak for the City of Aurora.

The sole duty and power of the mayor of Aurora is to run the city council meetings. Coffman does not run nor administer the city. In most cases, he cannot even vote during city council meetings.

The city manager runs the city, following policy dictated by the city council as a whole.

Immediately when Jurinsky began her hysterical, anti-immigrant rants, hoisted into the public’s awareness by unprofessional and unethical local and national media — which have repeatedly refused to fact check her inflammatory claims — Aurora police and city management should have reacted.

Police and managers offered tepid and sometimes confusing emailed statements to the media. They should have held press conferences to rebut the lurid and politicized lies and hyperbole to prevent Jurinsky and other Republican extremists from creating and controlling the narrative of this critical problem.

These odious forces are able to manipulate the narrative based on a video depicting five young males walking up apartment stairs carrying handguns and one long-gun.

To date, police have not said if they have examined the authenticity of the video, nor if they have investigated who these people are and what they were doing.

The video is unnerving. But it’s no more unnerving than similar videos taken from inside area stores and other public and private places in the region — for years.

If Jurinsky and Coffman are so concerned about the residents in these apartments, insist that Aurora or state police station round-the-clock patrols in and around these units.

Insist that the city, which famously once inspected every apartment building and unit in the city, ensures that happens, and that these inspections are posted on the city’s website for regular public perusal.

Instead, they point to national immigration policy problems as the reason why this city council, and just about every city council before them, has been unable to control shootings and address poverty not just in these neighborhoods, but across the city.

Don’t buy it, Aurora. It’s a demented and dangerous deception that is only meant to invoke fear and turn voters toward a failed political clan of liars, cheaters and election deniers practically driven from the entire state.

Police and city officials need to stop issuing tardy press statements and start getting in front of national and local news cameras to offer the public the truth about this problem that Jurinsky and Coffman have turned into a crisis. That truth needs to be backed by evidence, transparency and the ability for real journalists to ask questions and check facts.

Aurora is begging for the adults in the room to drag qualified and honest city sources in front of the cameras to set the record straight.

Everything else so far is fear-mongering quackery without morals or conscience in an attempt to influence an election, not public safety.
