    Aurora Colorado

    There is a developing story in that city where dangerous Venezuelan gangs have taken possession by force and heavily armed gang members two entire apartment buildings. My understanding is they are breaking into the apartments of lawful tenants and forcing them out. I just watched an interview with the mayor and he is taking the position it's a federal problem caused by the border policy. They have also threatened the local police department with armed confrontation. This is a problem my friends.

    What I posted came right out of the mayor's mouth in a live television interview. Apparently some that live there have different views. I'll take the mayor as a reliable source. Also there are ample videos that I have reviewed that show individuals with high powered rifles and guns breaking into the apartments.

    From what I have read, the whole thing is vastly exaggerated.

    That is exactly my take as well.

    If it's exaggerated, so be it, The mayor is the one doing it.

    And, they have a city councilman down playing it. Who knows what's really going on? I suspect that there would be a lot more noise if it was a major event.

    The police aren't playing the same tune either

    Scottsdale has had a rash of Crime Tourism in the last year or so. They hit the nice houses that back up to golf courses and strike when the owners go out to dinner (named the dinner time bandits- brilliant). They use WiFi jammers to disable the security systems and head straight to the master bedroom/ bathroom. Small valuables for an easy get away on the golf course or through the desert...

    Organized by Venezuelan gangs.
