Love or hate Trump? Fine. But you CANNOT ignore huge problems in this country because you can't blame Trump for them!

you Believe Camela is going to get things done on day 1, and you have the nerve to call anyone else Gullible lmfao get over yourself, kid.

ABC literally admitted "a handful" of apartment complexes have been taken over by Venezuelan gangs

"in order to cover it up engaged in a conspiracy to influence the outcome of that election by committing fraud 34 times over the next year"

That's some pretty seriously stretched dot connecting there... Hell, even Biden didn't try to stretch it that far.

And they say the right are conspiracy theorists?! The right ain't got nuthin' on the left when it comes to believing bullshit conspiracy theories.

"The Venezuelan gangs thing is just another dumb lie his base was gullible enough to believe against all evidence."

I guess you have no sympathy for the person who video'd the Venezuelan gangs actually going through her apartment building and shaking people down for money.

I mean... you did see that, right?

And they say libs are the ones with compassion, but I see no evidence of it.

Stretched dot connecting? He was convicted by a jury of his peers unanimously on 34 counts because of the overwhelming evidence of that conspiracy to defraud voters.

Colorados governor just downplayed the venezuelan gangbangers and their violent business model by saying...

"Well, first of all, they mostly only violate other venezuelans"

Tell that to the residents who’s apartments were overrun.

Isn't one too many? A foreign entity taking over buldings in America? When the f**k did that become okay?

It will be okay with their ilk until their mother gets raped or their sisbro gets killed.

Luckily, absolutely NOBODY wants to eat THEIR pussy cats.

Na, they'll still blame conservatives... somehow in their twisted little peanut brains, it'll be trumps fault that some south American banger that Cameltoe let in raped thier mother.

You have raised the possibility.

We will have to wait and see.

Is it strange that only the children of conservatives have been victimized, raped, and/or murdered by illegal immigrants?

Further research may be warranted.

One. Yes, one is too many. I'm with you.

One is my number for how many is too many crimes committed by ILLEGALS.

I have this crazy notion in my head... it's telling me that if they weren't here ILLEGALLY, they wouldn't be committing crimes here.

But that just doesn't make sense to the morans on the left... liberal logic.

100%, Americans need to stay armed and ready. Remember these scumbag gangs are targeting other illegals becuase they are used to being victimized by the gangs , these POS aint gonna know what hits them when aPatriot opens up with a 9, scattering them like the rats they are.

When I made what up? That illegal Gangs are on the protected species list of democrats? Cause I didn't make that up, its being proven as we speak.

When someone says "its only one" means they are ok with that number. Come on, verbal comprehension is a skill you should possess at this time and at you age bro.

Is it though...?

Are the police and residents and Republican mayor lying?

Or is the out of state slum lord who is lying?

dude no offense but I can't read all that on my phone outside with the sun, so TLDR

🙄

Yes.

They are lying.

100 gang members in metro Denver
=
They took control of apartments in Aurora..

🤔

I never referred to either of those , I was talking about A7 saying that "one apartment complex isn't a nation wide crisis".

That tells me that the user is fine with a foreign entity taking over an apartment because it isn't nation wide.

If it was up to me , I would have the naitonal gaurd clear the apartment of those human cockroaches, then live stream them being taken out in hand cuffs. As a message to the rest of the trash of the world, America is not going to be your garbage can any more.

Maybe if there was no other context here that would be a good argument. But I don't think it's fair to ignore the context of the OP meme stating "Venezuelan gangs are overrunning apartments nationwide"
(and portraying it as news/ real.... )

I mean everyone here seems to act like they're mad about the msm having exagerrated, sensationalized, click bait "fake news" headlines but then they turn around and kinda do the same thing for upvotes instead of clicks.

A7 was basically just fact checking the OP. Facts vs feelings or whatever.

Also as far as your story about what you would do... idk how that works long term.

Once you go round up the people who are there right now and kick them out, who do you think moves in right behind them??

I mean based on what I've read those apts are for the poorest of the poor. The projects. People with no other options, drug addicts, immigrants, etc. It's like one step above a homeless encampment. Bed bugs, mice, rats, roaches, broken appliances, etc..apparently those apts have not been in compliance with the law for 2 years. Might be fun to pretend if you just evict and incarcerate the people there now that it would solve the problem but I'm not sure it's accurate.

That could even make it worse. Only a fraction of the people there are gang members and you can't just take people to jail for being poor. And even if you could, like what you gonna do... put them in jail for a week? a month, a year, 5 years? Then what happens? Then they are released and totally f*cked off worse than before.

Their rat hole apt has been rented to other people, all their stuff is gone, if they had a job before it is also gone. Time to go under the bridge. Hello drugs. Hello crime.

If you mean specifically undocumented immigrant gang members committing crimes ok. But I'm not sure that is much different than what they're doing now. (Although if big arrests are made it may or may not be shown on the news live. )

100 is more than 10.

Denver metro area includes Aurora.

Aurora is less than 10 miles from Denver.

How many armed men motivated to do harm do you think it takes to take control of an apartment complex?

ABC tried to downplay it by saying only "a handful" of apartment complexes have been taken over by Venezuelan gangs

No they didn't.

Vance. That's JD Vance. Trump's running mate. He is not a reporter for ABC. The Hill is not ABC. JD Vance is not exactly renowned for being exceedingly accurate with his bogus propaganda. You really don't know who JD Vance is?

MARTHA RADDATZ (NOT JD VANCE): "The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes."
Again, I posted a link to the segment; you can watch it for yourself or just stay willfully ignorant

Incidents. As opposed to taking over the city or apartment complexes.

"I’m not saying that there’s not gang members that don’t live in this community. But what we’re learning out here is that gang members have not taken over this [apartment] complex,"

- Heather Morris, Aurora’s interim police chief.

Vance was replying to Martha Raddatz, who said "the incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes"
I don't get why you have a problem with a link to a youtube video. You could just watch the exchange for yourself

Yes, that's what Vance said. That's why it said that's what Vance said. That's why what Vance said is in quotes indicating Vance said what Vance said.

Stop cramming my notifs.

It looks like the dem strategy here is to just downplay it by saying 'not that many' or 'only a handful', etc. etc.

But if you're like most on the left (or at least the far left fringe here on imgflip) trying to claim it never happened, or only happened once, which according to liberal logic makes it alright, then those claims are just dead wrong.

Just google something like 'cindy romero aurora fact check'

https://denverite.com/2024/09/04/venezuelan-gang-aurora-colorado-factcheck/

Even leftist news source CBS found itself having to report some truth... for a change. This was *AFTER* Romero managed to survive a gun fight at her apartment complex.

headline: Venezuelan gang activity confirmed by Aurora officials after release of Colorado woman's surveillance video

story: https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/colorado-venezuelan-gang-activity-aurora-crime-woman-moves-video-guns/

from the story:

"After a shootout on Aug. 18 Romero was driven to desperation. And this week, her pleas for help were finally answered. By Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky.

"Jurinsky was the only one who really took an interest in our safety and worked to find solutions. It meant a lot to have someone genuinely concerned," Romero said.

"Jurinsky helped her move out and find other housing."

There are many articles and statements gleaned from vetted internal official documents that indicate the problem is much greater than the national news broadcasts are reporting.

It transcends one slumlord corporation's legal wranglings with government agencies.

Oh wow someone actually provided sources. Cool so we actually can start from the same information.

Based on that Denverite article.... a landlord did claim his rat hole apartments which have not been in compliance with the law for 2 years were taken over by gangsters who allegedly drove out property managers and committed other crimes.

But.....

Local police and residents contacted there say that it was not taken over by the gang.

My opinion: it does not seem super crazy to think the landlord came up with an excuse for his apts not being in compliance with the law for 2 years.

Which is not to say that gang related crime and violence isn't happening in and around the area.... it clearly is.... It just makes a convenient excuse for him.

I mean you either believe the word of the "out of state slum lord" (according to Republican Mayor Coffman) who is not in compliance with the law himself....... or you believe the word of the police and the local residents who live there... who are now apparently getting harassed by vigilantes, not gang members.

The video is disturbing but it's unclear what actually happened there. Looks kinda like someone just opened the door.. idk. Clearly they were shady guys and warrent police investigation though.

...Which leads me to the claim someone here made up: "it is okay" ...which makes it sound as if nothing is being done about the gang.

Meanwhile apparently 10 of the gang members have been identified in various crimes including a jewelry store robbery.. and at least 6 have been located and arrested.

There are also multi million dollar rewards on the capture of leaders.

Aurora Police Department also joined the Colorado State Patrol and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and formed a regional group to focus specifically on that gang.

But let's pretend apartment buildings.. no wait.. the whole city... has been taken over! And nothing is being done about it! And dear leader hero trump is the only one who can save us!
🙄

Count your blessings that you do not live where they operate.

You would not be so smug then.

These men are ruthless.

No concern for man, woman, or child.

They don't even care about your pets! 😱

Enjoy your mocking ridicule because you are not affected yet.

Do you understand how gang infiltrations work?

I'll answer for you, no, you do not.

While you pettily argue semantics, they will build their numbers and spread out to other states and major cities.

"Semantics"....no.

This is facts vs feelings. They either have taken over apartment buildings or they haven't.

Also if you are concerned about gangs in the Denver metro area you might look into a little gang known as the Crips. They have way more members in the Denver Metro area, have for years, and also have no qualms about killing people. Even subsets of Crips there might have more members than that gang.

Also we now live in a country where there is almost literally no type of location where there has not been mass shootings... completely unrelated to gangs.

Me, you, and anyone else can get shot anywhere at any time. To stick with the same location- the Aurora, CO movie theater shooting for one. Roughly 80 people got shot or injured. They just wanted to watch the new Batman movie and 12 of em got murdered.

This Venezuelan gang is dangerous, yes, but let's not pretend they're the only people in America who give zero f*cks about man, woman & child.

🎶They're eating the dogs
🎶They're eating the cats
🎶They're injecting the murder juice
🎶They're terrorizing the citizens that 🎶live there

The Aurora mayor, I think, saying "that never happened" perhaps?

I believe the sheriff stated otherwise, as well as some other political figure(s).

Can you articulate a reason that democrats are not saying, "that is happening and it is messed up, but I'm voting for The Middle Class Kid and her sidekick Knucklehead"?

Are they afraid of appearing foolish?

Uncaring? Spineless?

You can respect even the most vexing, viciously violent, vehemently vitriolic vigilante, because he has chosen a position.

Contrast that to those that lack the conviction to say, "yes" or "no" on any issue other that voting for DJ Trump, The People's Hero.

😄🇺🇸You probably thought you were getting off easy but I just switched up the title a bit to keep it interesting.

According to ABC News socialist reporter Martha Raddatz, the mayor admitted it.

Not that she was trying to make that point, but in the process of saying the problem wasn't quite bad enough for anybody on the left to give a damn, she told Vance that the Aurora mayor has said the incidents “were limited to a handful of apartment complexes” that the police department has dealt with.

So there's the threshold. Whatever "a handful" is, that's how much they'll tolerate violence and crime against US citizens by ILLEGAL aliens.

Looks like another "telephone" style fire that trump started. Why am I not surprised. 🙄

Sounds like some people.... maybe gang members(?).... made a video... at an apartment in Aurora brandishing guns.... Trump saw it and proclaimed a Venezuelan gang had conquered the city.... someone here heard about it and claimed gangs took over apartment buildings .... and then further claimed people thought it was okay that they took over whatever apartment buildings.

"Can you articulate a reason that democrats are not saying, "that is happening and it is messed up......?""

Trump seems to have said they conquered the city.

I don't see evidence of that.

The person here claimed they took over apartment buildings.

I don't see evidence of that either. I just heard about a video.

So that would be one reason democrats (and apparently some repubs, or at least the mayor) are not saying that "it" is happening and that "it" is messed up.

Also the police chief said this:

“The narrative that this city is being overrun and controlled by one particular group is false, but........there are issues, there is crime, there is problems and there are bad, bad behavior and bad actions that are going on that we as a department have to focus on.”

So whatever crimes ARE happening there are not okay.

If people are committing crimes and are found guilty, lock them up. I don't care if you're an American or an undocumented immigrant or a former president.

You left the juiciest fruit behind in your cherry picking.

You must be unaware that central and south American gangs routinely engage in warfare with the police and military in their home countries that attempt to thwart their activities of preying on the citizenry.

Why would they do any different after tapping into a more lucrative market having illegally entered the United States

They should be located, arrested, and removed.

You say you don't see this, you don't see that...

It's hard to see anything with your head buried in the sand.

One incident?

What lying leftist "news" outlet do you get your news from?

It wasn't one incident. It's just that however many times it happened was not enough to get a drop of sympathy from the oh so sympathetic left.

If it was one incident, why did the mayor of Aurora say, according to Raddatz, the incidents “were limited to a handful of apartment complexes” that the police department has dealt with.

"incidents": PLURAL

"apartment complexes": PLURAL

So that's more than one incident at more than one apartment complex.

How many incidents at how many apartment complexes is too many for the left?

If you are wrong on the basic fact that your argument makes to support itself, nothing else you say has any relevance on this subject.

Heavily truncated citations of news "sources" is to be expected.

If they say one it is a hundred and one.

If they say a hundred and one it is one.

It's not that it was a false claim, it's just that apparently not enough people had to endure it to get any sympathy from the left.

According to leftist mouthpiece Martha Raddatz, "fact checking" JD Vance, the gang assaults “were limited to a handful of apartment complexes”.

So, I guess that makes it alright?

What is wrong with the left that this is okay?

And what did Vance say to her after she said that? (which was one of the absolute dumbest things a democrat has said in a long while, which is really saying something)

He said “Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris’ open border?”

Hell, it's not just that it's okay, you guys are denying that it happened.

I guess when you don't admit to the problem, nobody expects you to solve it.

That's the Dim part ethos in a nutshell right there.

When it happens to them, then it will become an issue.
