There were only 20 gang members…not 25. Hence the over exaggerated claim. Actual numbers may vary. Offered as an example of liberal logic.
The Aurora police believe there are way more than 25 gang members, and they are starting to recruit wannabees as their reputation grows. That is not what they will say in public, but officers will say that in private.
A police department bound by the terms of a "Consent Decree" ("Avoid arrests of Blacks and Hispanics whenever possible") is not going to slow them down at all.
Like most gangs, it is a franchise operation. Each group is independently owned and operated. Out-of-State connections help them move stolen goods and drugs, and sex slaves. It can get to be a big money business very quickly unless checked.
The local and State authorities do not seem to have any idea of what they are dealing with.
A good example of these types of information Mal-manipulation, is this claim the cat-killing woman isn’t a Haitian, she is from some other town in the USA, not from Haiti.
When I heard this claim from the Leftist media, it set off my alarm. Who cares where she is from? Is she an American citizen, or did she come from Haiti to the USA three months ago and lived in some other nearby town.
She might. But I simply do not trust a single thing the media says. I just assume they are lying, because they have a well documented history of doing so.
