Armed Migrant Gang Takes Over Colorado Apartment Building | Matt Christiansen

whenever Joe Biden asks whatever incoherent variation of who in God's name needs an assault weapon who in God's name needs a weapon with 100 rounds in a chamber high-capacity Chambers still yet to be explained but one of the many plausible answers is how about the guy who lives in the apartment complex that's now overtaken by the gang of Venezuelan migrants you let into this country you know the ones patrolling around with the assault weapons that you hate so much because this week video showing such an event emerged this scene from The Edge at Lowry apartments in Aurora Colorado just east of Denver and it's not the open carry or the guns themselves that are the problem open carry is probably going to be part of the solution actually it's the unholstered threatening carry during the commission of what is alleged to be a forcible entry or entry on hostile terms but don't worry it's apparently not what it appears to be in response to inquiry Wednesday Governor Jared polis's spokesperson told the New York Post that the concern over that scene is largely just a feature of the imagination of aora city councilwoman Danielle jinsky who's speaking to Media about it what exactly is imagined about that video is unclear but I guess we're supposed to believe that these guys are just showing up for the friendly neighborhood gun show and the only actual concern is whether they use the loophole to conduct a private sale without a background check in there who knows the governor's office adds that if the city council woman has knowledge of criminal Behavior she should report it to police and the governor's office is ready to assist with any law enforcement resources necessary but even if you do think that video is just misunderstood oh that's just the boys heading out for an airsoft tournament that's all the problem has been reported to police and police do not say that this is just some imagined threat they say it's very real and that is exactly what it appears to be Aurora Police say they are investigating and the men in this scene are believed to be members of the Venezuelan gang Trend de aragua whatever happened at this particular Scene It was not friendly this apparent Breakin was right before a shootout happened leaving one person severely injured and this is by no means a rare or isolated event Denver has received the most migrants per capita of any major US city over 40,000 of them have arrived since the end of 2022 and Resource Management has been a major problem the city has limited the amount of time migrants can stay in shelters they've converted seven hotels into migrant shelters and they've coordinated with landlords to use apartment complexes like this one to house migrants and despite all the effort and the tens of millions of public dollars spent it still was not good enough massive migrant homeless camps moved in they said the accommodations were a slap in the face and this spring migrants through their activist allies issued a list of Demands to city government the camp as a collective came up with a list of Demands there have been so many complaints about the food being spoiled or not being enough they're not receiving any kind of official um housing or um immigration document support which is incredibly necess NE for them to be able to navigate the bureaucracy around these systems which of course isn't even the full extent of the absurdity the city then agreed to provide even more in response okay low siento we'll throw in some extra Knights on your hotel stay plus HBO and the continental breakfast too now a large portion of these incoming migrants are Venezuelan so of course with a mostly unvetted Venezuelan influx that's how you get the Venezuelan gang and this Gang trende araga has now taken over or otherwise harassed tenants at several Aurora apartment buildings in fact at this same apartment complex in July the gang's leader known by the nickname GAA or cookie in English was arrested for severely beating a man outside the building the man had apparently confronted cookie and half a dozen of his friends during the dispute cookie informed the man that his gang runs the place they run Walmart too they said from which they regularly steal according to the affidavit one female witness told police this has been ongoing but she's reluctant to talk to police for fear of retaliation from the dangerous people like cookie and the crumbles who live in the complex and she's probably very wise to be afraid was cookie swiftly deported was he even held in custody pending trial no of course not he was released and he's probably delibera about how exactly he wants to harm this woman and other snitches very soon but okay if that video is not what it appears to be and the police investigation is mistaken too it's all just imaginary the governor says well how about we consider the perspective of the people who provided that video to where did that video come from it came from Edward and Cindy Romero former tenants at this apartment complex who have now escaped speaking with a local reporter after provid in that video Cindy said living there has been a nightmare and she couldn't wait to get out she showed the reporter how she has her whole door lined with locks top to bottom so it's harder to kick down she says a shootout riddled her car with bullet holes earlier this month the Romeros are not migrants themselves they say that the problems in this apartment community began when the migrants arrived though they've had trouble finding help to get to a new safer place to live in the supposedly imaginative Aurora city councilwoman Danielle jinsky who's been helping them says there's a terrible irony that the city's nonprofits are mostly lining up to help the migrants not the Americans who've been victimized and trapped in these buildings and there's a further irony still that much of the crime and harassment is migrant on migrant too the city councilwoman says other Venezuelans are being extorted by this gang so at this rate deportation will be the Asylum actually and yet despite the overwhelming evidence control your imagination please is the advice of the governor and to that theme the Aurora and Denver Mayors are teaming up to warn you of the dangers of overreacting or exaggerating the story too do not create hysteria they say see the problem is actually you seeing that video and then being proactive in trying to prevent similar situations it's overwhelming our 911 system or our emergency uh call center and so uh it's actually hurting our ability to respond to crime and so I would hope people uh would not do that I I think we're we're in some sort of environment of Hysteria the threat from TDA in Denver it's smaller than many other organized uh criminal networks that might have been here for decades the ones you know like the Bloods of the Crips or others please do not call 911 about the Venezuelan gangs cuz we need the lines open for calls about other gangs too that's almost as not assuring as the Denver Mayor's call to remember the real victims of this scenario the newcomers themselves the risk on this is the folks most likely to be taken advantage of and abused by this are other newcomers our Venezuelans who have arrived and are being bullied by these individuals and feel afraid to call uh the police or call the city after all the biggest danger is that you might have the wrong opinion about them which would somehow hurt them even more than the gangs do ow right in the feelings the much bigger risk is that you'll have a perception that all of the newcomers in the city are dangerous and nothing could be farther from the truth so at this rate if you're a hostage in an aurora apartment building and you need some help you have a few possible options you could learn to speak Spanish and call 911 pretending to be Venezuelan you may get some relief then or you can just patiently wait for blood or [ __ ] reinforcements to arrive for the gang war to liberate the complex for America once again or move into a tent down by the train tracks and send a demand to the city for a nicer house instead that one can work but again I think you got to wear brown face to qualify or just take the governor's advice the most realistic option of them all just exercise that overactive imagination of yours to create a different scenario Al together do you really live in a crimer ridden hellscape overrun by a foreign gang or do you actually live in a tropical island paradise or a space station on the moon or maybe in a castle high at top a majestic mountain peak see just like a little kid your cardboard box of an apartment can be anything you want it to be it's all in your mindset just don't forget the extra locks on your door and be sure to seal up those bullet holes before winter too thanks as always for listening and for supporting tenant media always appreciate that
