Aurora, Colorado: Who Will Answer?

By Rich Kozlovich

 

Recently there's been a lot of news about Tren de Aragua (TDA) an illegal immigrant gang from Venezuela, all heavily armed, who've taken over apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado, forcing the tenants to give them their rent money.   And they're doing this in a state that has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. 

 

If that's true, and it is, how did these illegal aliens get these weapons? Here's what's true, when the government takes guns away from honest citizens, only the criminals, murders, thugs will be armed, and it's clear the police won't be able to handle it with the current anti police thinking from America's "leaders".  Then Americans will hand over their freedom to these leftist monsters and we'll accept tyranny in order to be "safe".  Then America will not be safe, or free.  Which is what these radical misfits want.

 

Well, this isn't just in Colorado, they're a group of thugs that were banded together by "President" of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro, and he lost control of them, and now they're an international criminal organization with headquarters in many places outside of Venezuela.  I'll tell you what, we'll come back to that.

America has no idea what's coming, but not all Americans are ignorant of the deadly consequences of the Democrat's immigration policies, or better yet to say their lack of immigration policies, where in some insane fashion they think they're going to be immune to the consequences of their insanity.  

 

But before we move on to just how dangerous this is at a national level, let's first focus on Aurora, Colorado. I have a very conservative friend who retired to Colorado so I called him to ask his views.  Understand, Colorado is considered a blue state because the major cities are all filled with ex-California leftists who were escaping the insanity they created there, and are now imposing that same kind of insatiably in Colorado, turning it into a "sanctuary state".  

 

Outside the major cities, the residents of the counties are, according to my friend, even more conservative than me.   At any rate after talking to him I realized this was a really convoluted mess with more to come, so I held off writing this piece.  Well, now it's here. 

I noted in a previous piece the authorities were doing nothing about it and the governor wants everyone to ignore the videos showing what was going on.  The city accused the landlord of allowing his properties "to become trash-ridden, gang-infested hellhole", and how true that is may be debatable, but I was an exterminator for 40 years, and that's not as uncommon as you may think.  

At any rate the landlord agreed to sell properties, apparently to avoid prosecution, but as important as that may be, all that obfuscates the fact the governmental authorities and the police refused to do anything about these gangs, including "Democrat Governor, Jared Polis" who claims this is all imaginary, "that is until an apartment resident filmed an armed gang breaking into a man’s apartment and the video went viral."   

They knew about all this back in June, because the letters sent to them asking for authorities to do their jobs is now a matter of record, and they did nothing!  As for the trash buildup, it became so dangerous in these buildings the staff quit their jobs and there was no one left to clean up.  So, who's fault is that?

Finely, almost four months later the cops crack down on migrant apartment gangs and ICE confirms they’re illegal aliens, all admitted into America under the insane Biden-Harris administration policies.  And they arrest four..... four.... that's it?  Even when doing their jobs they're abject failures.

The question that I have to believe is on every Colorado resident's mind is what will be done about it in November?  

Colorado residents clearly cannot trust their politicians to protect them. Democrat narratives, not public safety, are their priority. They are, for the moment, embarrassed into action, but the moment public attention moves on to other outrages narrative maintenance will once again be their priority.

Imagine the plight of residents of such an apartment complex. Constantly threatened by armed gangsters, they’re unsafe in their apartments, and in coming and going. Calling the police exposes them to danger, and Jurinsky explained unless the police can send four or more officers to calls there, they won’t come at all. Worse, the police must develop probable cause to make arrests for individual crimes, and witnesses are hard to come by. Making arrests may or may not result in bail, and prosecutors may or may not sustain appropriate charges. Judges may or may not impose serious sentences upon conviction.

Trust is lost when the rule of law is uncertain.

But this is the tip of the iceberg.  This same gang has taken over apartments in Dallas and Chicago, and the  Gateway Hotel in El Paso, and who are authorities blaming?  The owners.  In New York it's being reported there are over 400 Tren De Aragua Venezuelan gang members active in New York City.  

All this was the totally predictable consequences of the Democrat created nightmare of open border polices.  A bloodbath of crime and corruption, and the enslavement  of women and children at the hands of traffickers.   

Here's the incontrovertible moral truth and reality of all this. The Biden/Harris administration, the Democrats, RINO's, the Hollywood trash, academia, the media, and the billionaires who support them, all have the blood and the destroyed lives of innocents on their hands.  And I'm a firm believer someone is watching to call them to account. 

 

Update, 12:45 PM:  Law firm hired to investigate gang activity in Aurora, CO reveals unsettling details:  

Through violence and intimidation, a Venezuelan gang took over the Whispering Pines apartment complex in Aurora and sought to collect up to half of the rent from leaseholders, drying up collections for the landlord, according to a law firm’s investigation.  At the behest of a lender, the international law firm Perkins Coie investigated the alleged criminal activities at Whispering Pines apartments, a 54-unit complex in Aurora, and outlined an operation that included establishing a ‘lower-level’ presence last year, which then escalated into violence and intimidation, the apparent goal of which was to turn the complex into a steady source of income for the gang.

The law firm said once the gang was entrenched at the complex, it used the units for illegal activities, including the prostitution of minors.  The gang, the law firm added, ‘operated in the open,’ patrolled the area and ‘terrorized the community.’

So what did that “lower-level” presence in Whispering Pines look like? Well, according to the same report, gang members issued death threats and menaced the property manager so badly, he later fled; at this point, they told the property’s employees that they were now “working for” TdA. Here’s more, regarding the specifics:

‘The evidence we have reviewed indicates that gang members are engaging in flagrant trespass violations, assaults and battery, human trafficking and sexual abuse of minors, unlawful firearms possession, extortion, and other criminal activities, often targeting vulnerable Venezuelan and other immigrant populations,’ Perkins Coie, the law firm representing U.S. Bank Trust Company, wrote on Aug. 9.

What about the media? Mainstream outlets told us to “ignore” what was merely a fantastical “tale” from President Trump...... Progressives and the media are one of the greatest enemies of the American public.

‘The gang’s modus operandi appears to be to unlawfully move gang members as well as vulnerable immigrant families into vacant units,’ the law firm wrote. ‘The gang also forces rent-paying residents out to create more open units and uses the apartments for purposes of illegal activities such as prostitution. In addition, the gang attempted to use threats of violence to extort the property manager into paying it some 50% of all rental income.’

Of course, none of this is surprising for one of the most notorious gangs in the Americas—it’s well known that human-trafficking is a huge money-maker, with global estimates of industry revenue totaling in the hundreds of billions of dollars.

Now, when the first video of the heavily armed Venezuelans went viral, the state governor Jared Polis attempted to gaslight concerned Americans, arguing that what we were seeing was all just a figment of an overactive “imagination” — I wonder what Polis would say now?

What about the media? Mainstream outlets told us to “ignore” what was merely a fantastical “tale” from President Trump........Progressives and the media are one of the greatest enemies of the American public.
