    "There has been a lot of misleading information shared about what is happening in our city. Aurora is a safe community," the (Twitter) post said. "Media have conflated and considerably exaggerated incidents that are isolated to a handful of problem properties alone."

    "A gang is not running a Colorado apartment complex and tenants are not paying its members rent money, police said, despite speculation from the public after images of men carrying weapons at the building went viral."

    "The Edge at Lowry Apartments in Aurora, Colorado has not been "taken over" by gang members, Interim Aurora Police Chief Heather Morris said in a video shared Aug. 30 by the department on Facebook."

    LOL, you accidentally happen to be correct. Sarcasm serves you better than your normal analysis.

    So a tweet from a highly partisan poster turns out to be fake news? Who would have thought?

    It's a sanctuary state, and he actually said the opposite.

    So what you're saying is that an anonymous poster on a social media platform is more credible than the local police chief?

    No, I am saying the video in the social media post shares the Mayor of Aurora (in his own words) that Venezuelan gangs have taken over apartment buildings. The local police chief is an interim and a moron. Now, we have attorneys hired by the lenders of the buildings saying the same thing—you're slipping. My guess is you think the border is under control. Yikes!

    The great thing about video is you get to hear from the mayor's mouth in his own words. I'm not sure why some of you here can't handle the evidence, but you can't. It's like a mental block that keeps you from receiving information you don't agree with.

    Post the alleged video. I have seen a couple but apparently not the one you are referring to. I have tried to look for it using google and it isn’t appearing. So you are either making crap up or the conspiracy runs very deep.

    So in aurora we have another ‘manufactured crisis’ just like we were told the border, until they could not longer suppress it. Contrast aurora, where the locals don’t have the funds to leave…… to Martha’s Vineyard where the locals have the means to really help the ‘newcomers’. The Martha’s Vineyard newcomers were gone in less than 24 hours and never to be talked again other than cocktail parties…….and the aurora armed gang we are told doesn’t exist, maybe they do exist. Of course the locals were supposed be the poor that the government says they will Protect…… are just left to deal with it.

    LOL. Sure, bro. The scary brown people are coming to get you. You should definitely panic. First, an Aurora apartment complex. Next, it'll be the city of Atlanta! :emoji_joy:
