Brutal Venezuelan gang violence spills into quiet suburb from the sanctuary city next door— despite efforts to keep migrants out (Aurora)
NY Post ^ | 8/25/24 | Jennie Taer, Chris Nesi

Denver’s decision to welcome migrants with open arms is bringing bloodshed to the suburbs next door. A notorious Venezuelan prison gang has set up shop in Aurora, Colorado — even though the town wanted no part of the influx of asylum seekers in the first place.

Aurora — a quiet bedroom community with a population of 390,000 directly east of the Mile-High City — has become a base of operations for the brutal Tren de Aragua gang, which has seized multiple apartment complexes and set off a wave of violent crime.

Denver leads the nation in new migrant arrivals per-capita, with more than 40,000 arriving from the southern border since December 2022.

The city has bent over backwards to provide aid, even slashing emergency services to help foot the cost – so far estimated at over $68 million and counting.

But Aurora has made it clear it doesn’t share Denver’s desire to be the country’s leading sanctuary city.

In February, Aurora City Council passed a resolution 7-3 emphatically stating that it will not provide resources and support to migrants or others brought into the community from neighboring cities.

“It’s been pretty tense here, we’re feeling it,” city council member Danielle Jurinsky, a sponsor of the resolution, told Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.”

“We will not be aiding into this migrant crisis.”

Time to arrange a health department “inspection” of one of the buildings the gangs seized - backed by the entire police department and SWAT team, with plenty of ammo to finish the job.

This comes from liberals lacking empathy for their fellow man.

This is why Christ said, when you do it for thee, you do it for me.

Aren’t there any biker gangs around to hire for cleaning up this kind of mess?

the Aurora police union head, said that after the shooting in the apartment complex, he and other cops were on scene to close down the apartment where Pacheco-Chirino’s alleged crimes occurred.

They did so without incident and without finding any contraband, he said. They did find that the gang members had trashed the place, he said.

Garbage was piled “two stories high.”


how the story ended.

Aren’t there any biker gangs around


https://www.justice.gov/criminal/criminal-vcrs/gallery/outlaw-motorcycle-gangs-omgs

Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs) are organizations whose members use their motorcycle clubs as conduits for criminal enterprises. OMGs are highly structured criminal organizations whose members engage in criminal activities such as violent crime, weapons trafficking, and drug trafficking. There are more than 300 active OMGs within the United States, ranging in size from single chapters with five or six members to hundreds of chapters with thousands of members worldwide. The Hells Angels, Mongols, Bandidos, Outlaws, and Sons of Silence pose a serious national domestic threat and conduct the majority of criminal activity linked to OMGs, especially activity relating to drug-trafficking and, more specifically, to cross-border drug smuggling. Because of their transnational scope, these OMGs are able to coordinate drug smuggling operations in partnership with major international drug-trafficking organizations (DTOs).


Called OMGs now. looks like they are busy?

Sounds like the property managers need to hire some biker gangs.

“For a long time, it was a lot of older people, but they have recognized that if they didn’t start recruiting they were going to die off,” he says. “And so they have started huge youth movements. And of course you know any time we have any kind of military conflict, you have an explosion in motorcycle gang activity because you have a lot of individuals that are affiliated with these groups that are active duty, they get deployed, they meet like-minded people, and they recruit.”

The FBI also notes that several gangs “are actively recruiting from the military for new members.”

Cook says he has two Harleys and regularly goes to motorcycle rallies like Sturgis. He says it’s important to keep in mind that there are thousands of legitimate motorcycle enthusiasts.

Inskeep also asks whether Cook ever encounters bikers at motorcycle events who he knows from his day job — much like the old cartoon about the wolf and the sheepdog who greet each other as they clock in in the morning and then go after each other.

Cook laughs and says, “That’s pretty accurate.”


Interesting history here and current here. So to answer you point, it looks like many are busy with day jobs.

much like the old cartoon about the wolf and the sheepdog who greet each other as they clock in in the morning and then go after each other.

What has happened recently is the Venezuelan regime emptied their prisons into the USA.

During the Mariel boatlift in 1980, Castro released prisoners (criminals) so they can come to the U.S.

Scarface, a movie featured Cuban refugees during this time period.

Don’t know where a thread leads you sometimes. Very little in the net on biker gangs since 2015

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=biker+gangs&ia=web

regarding the comment of involving them to vacate an apartment building. Might happen if owned by someone close to the gang? Or local gang feels competition? Or the local leadership doesn’t like it?

They are not in the news lately, wonder why?

The Waco Shootout was in 2015. Haven’t heard much of the Free Souls or Gypsy Jokers, locally, in a while. There were some high level, high profile convictions of Jokers, a year or so ago.

“Aurora — a quiet bedroom community”

Not as bad as Denver, but headed that way.

Shooting them dead is the ONLY solution to the problem.

There is NOTHING else that will stop them.

wonder how many liberal voter are in this bedroom community

Enough to vote for liberal legislature, Governor, AG, etc etc.

Twenty years ago people from South Dakota eagerly traveled to Denver for vacation time.

Not any more. Between Pot, gangs, liberals and lawlessness, what’s left for normals?
