Not only are blue cities allowing criminals to run rampant, but they are also denying it’s happening.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismissed anger over Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings in the Denver suburb of Aurora, calling it “imagination” — despite video footage, police reports, and the city’s mayor confirming it’s happening.
Polis’ press office said it in retaliation for Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky telling The Post that the gang’s takeovers are tied to his policies.
It wasn’t only Polis denying the obvious. Authorities, in general, were dismissing the takeover.
GASLIGHTING
After gaslighting everyone, they knew for weeks that Tren De Aragua was taking over buildings.
Letters obtained by The Denver Gazette from the law firm representing CBZ Management — whose apartment complex in Aurora was shut down over what the city described as safety issues last month — show officials were fully aware weeks ago of accusations that a Venezuelan gang had “forcibly taken control” of the property.
According to the Gazette, in an Aug. 28 letter to Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, the law firm wrote that CBZ Management had been informed that “Aurora Multi-Family Projects have been forcibly taken control of by gang(s) that have immigrated here from Venezuela.”
Based in Brooklyn, CBZ Management operates rental apartments in New York and Colorado, with 11 properties in Denver, Aurora, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo,
Aurora officials initially dismissed the company’s claims publicly, calling them “diversionary tactics” and “alternative narratives,” wrote the Gazette. They claimed it was only about code violations.
They aren’t saying that any longer.
Three Aurora complexes were taken over: The Aspen Grove, Whispering Pines, and The Edge at Lowry.
A CONSENT DECREE
In the letter to Weiser, the attorney said the company was informed that the Aurora Police Department could not take “effective action due” to a consent decree with the Colorado Attorney General’s Office.
“Our clients have, for several months, complained to the Aurora Police Department and the Aurora Code Enforcement Division about the lawlessness surrounding the Aurora Multi-Family Projects,” the letter stated, wrote the Gazette. “For the most part, the response has been very little and totally ineffective.”
Since the death of a black man, Elijah McClain, by two officers and a medical person, the police have been rendered ineffective.
The gang takeover occurred on June 27, according to the law firm.

In the 1970s, Texans were threatening to make Colorado a Texas state park. Natives were offended. I’ll bet they wish it had happened, now.
The Californication of Colorado started in the ski areas and spread like mold.
The difference between horrific Socialism and “European Socialism” is the degree to which they have succeeded in silencing taking over!! Colorado has been taken over almost completely by the Democrats. It is time to bail while you are still able to! We build walls to keep those wishing to breath free out. The Left builds walls to keep those wishing to breath free IN!
There is an old advertising jingle for Toyota that applies here, “You asked for it, you got it…” Colorado has legalized marijuana, elected perverts and communists, and embraced every heinous evil if the Democrat party. You have let it go for so long, you people now have only a few choices:
I highly recommend 1 and 5, and if that fails 4.
Your number 4, “deep red state” – Where? Which one, please? We fled Commiefornia only to land in the abortion-vacation state of KS. We are now surrounded by the invader-friendly states of Colorado and Nebraska. Our mail carriers are being followed, highjacked, threatened, robbed, strongarmed, etc, by illegal invaders, none of which is reported by mainstream news, probably because our communities are so small and “insignificant.” I feel like a sitting duck. Our politicians are worse than completely worthless. Not sure we still have 2A rights in this State, and not sure I alone could protect our home against multiple invaders because the cops are only minutes away when seconds count. God help us.
They voted for communism and now they’re upset that they’re getting communism.
Good and hard, as H.L. Mencken would say.
This is exactly what the Bolsheviks did when they took over Russia. Had criminals do dirty work for them and suppress the common people. It’s all in the Gulag Archipelago. There are numerous instances of the DNC co-opting Bolshevik tactics. The parallels are uncanny. Beware. If you vote Bolshevik DNC you are getting a variant of Stalinism next.
