Colorado city council member fires back after governor's office dismisses armed gang takeover as 'imagination'

The office of Gov. Jared Polis dismissed the armed gang apartment takeovers as 'imagination'

 

Not his agenda.  Now if someone had left a skid mark on a lgbtq street mural he would have had the staties in hot pursuit.

I suppose that one of those options is preferable to the other, but best case scenario you're still an ignorant,  moronic gaping a$$ hole that would probably serve yourself and your brethren better by just shutting F up.

So now you want me to look up at a big, gaping assh0le?

You have worthwhile things to say when you're not being the biggest gaping assh0le on a board that harbors many.

Turns out he's an even bigger gaping assh0le than what he let on over there.

GFY gaping ass hole.

 I would feel sorry the two of you, but you're also both giant, gaping a$$holes that bring the abuse on yourselves. So GFY.

I mean you're a giant gaping asssshole, but I wish you no ill despite the fact that you'd rather "put me down like a rabid dog" than listen to anything I say.

Avoid being a gaping assshole to others. Not surprising it's lost on you.

 

On 8/29/2024 at 4:32 PM, Fnord said:

EVERYONE is a gaping assshole where you live? Don't feel sorry for me, I live amongst good folk. Many are even MAGA.

 

Anyone notice a trend here?

Denver Post editorial:

https://www.denverpost.com/2024/08/30/aurora-venezuelan-gang-fact-check-tren-de-aragua/

Editorial: Is a violent gang of illegal immigrants taking over Aurora?

Is Aurora overrun by a gang of illegal immigrants?

Of course not.

The conservative and liberal mayors of Aurora and Denver have even come together to dispel the sensationalized reports of rampant gun violence.

There also is no vast conspiracy to cover up the gang activity of Tren de Aragua, an international criminal organization that is run by Venezuelan nationals across South America and is behind the criminal organization of recent arrivals in America who likely arrived illegally or using the asylum system.

The Denver Post and other mainstream news outlets have covered the emergence of this gang in America, but also have maintained perspective on the size, threat and activities of the gang, unlike some who are using incidents in Aurora and Denver to fuel fear of other Venezuelans and asylum seekers. Others, like the owners of an apartment beset with crime in Aurora, are using the gang as a scapegoat for the unsanitary, unsafe and unhealthy conditions of their apartments that were condemned by the city this month.

Aurora is an extremely diverse city of about 400,000 people. It has always had some gang activity – same with Denver, Commerce City, Arvada, Westminster, and Lakewood. The addition of the Tren de Aragua gang to the mix is a dangerous complication, but not a cause for panic, fleeing the city, or calling 911 without cause.

[...]

Homeland Security Investigations regional spokeswoman Alethea Smock, told The Denver Post this month that the gang was an emerging threat in Denver.

But as Aurora’s Republican Mayor Mike Coffman and Denver’s Democratic Mayor Mike Johnston told 9News Thursday night in a joint interview, their cities are still safe.

The danger of blowing things out of proportion, however, is very real.

The vast majority of Venezuelan refugees and migrants from other South American countries have come to America for a chance at freedom and to escape the violence in their home countries. We cannot demonize them because a small proportion of the thousands of recent arrivals have banded together to commit crimes.

Let’s catch the criminals, deport them, and secure our southern border so we can ensure bad eggs aren’t getting in with the good people seeking work permits, liberty and a better life for their children.

[Hardcore troubadour 14,914]

Catch the criminals? How about not letting them in? What a shitthead

Your hero trump believes in the right of abortion, so no matter who’s the next president illegals will still be allowed into our country,?  I’m glad to see that you have finally posted something right.  Thanks 

no matter the vote, the team will continue to destroy this country, putting everyone in harms way.  So why support them with your vote.

Look at this gaslighting…. There’s a focking video of these gangs going door to door with semiautomatic weapons collecting shakedown money from tenants.  And they’re minimizing, even dismissing it, focusing their anger on Conservatives for raising the issue.

Despicable.  Put down these Leftist propagandists like the dogs they are.

A Wise, and Righteous person recognize what is wrong, and what is right, and doesn’t want their name associated with that what is wrong, the killing of babies comes along with keeping the borders open, both teams agree with that.  .  

By voting for any of them, you support their success, Shame on you.

Jesus asked his followers to make tough decisions.  Not to hide in their basement and quote the Bible.  He is disappointed in your cowardice.  Shame on you.

Standing up for righteousness isn’t a tough decision, following the fools is a tough decision, it’s one you make daily. 

Funny how you deny Jesus, but now talk about him, your a hypocrite and you need to remove yourself and your gaslighting from this board.  Amen

So, you are a coward.  Welcome to the Harris regime. 

Also, I've been posting here 21+ years, met dozens of posters, and have made numerous real life friends.  You are on the Mount Rushmore of worst posters here, posting nothing but Bible quotes. 

I would absolutely challenge you to a pole where one of us leaves the bored forever.  But you are a coward.

You post things about Jesus all the time to me, but yet you call Jesus a liar.  Shame on you.  Pride burns real good in the lake of fire.  Hypocrite.

When fjb meets with the gang members from venezuela on Tues (after his vaca) in the apartment building they terrorized, do you think they will....
