Just curious but have you looked into that story on the Aurora apartment complex past the reactionary headlines you’re cherry picking? It’s way more nuanced and has little to do with gangs. I kind of find it funny that you decided to backtrack with a different article because you didn’t even read the first one you posted.

As for some nypost gibberish, I don’t care to read it. It’s obvious you’re a reactionary and have an agenda. The “immigrant problem” is a racist nationalistic bullhorn, and I suspect you fall into that crowd. Unless of course you support returning the US to the people that aren’t immigrant ancestors? Perhaps we could find some common ground there.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at. That article says in multiple places, and even implies it with the scare quotes in the title, that they didn’t find a bunch of gang members in that complex. So what exactly are you trying to say?

Here’s a few quotes from that article:

Aurora Police Department Interim Chief Heather Morris said in a statement on Friday that “gang members have not taken over” the complex.

“I’m not saying that there aren’t gang members that don’t live in this community,” Morris said. “But what we’re learning out here is that gang members have not taken over this complex.”

…

Morris stated that the local authorities have “really made an effort” in recent days to ask specific questions about gang activity in the area and at the complex.

“Making sure that people aren’t paying rent to gang leaders or gang members,” she said.

According to Morris, the residents they’ve spoken with have assured them that this isn’t happening, and she believes they are being honest.

“We’re standing out here, and I can tell you that gang members have not taken over this complex.”

Holy crap the wait was worth it! I didn’t even know that was possible.

The title assured me that this was not satire. Since I have no critical thinking skills I’m not sure who to believe.

It’s real though.

In almost every case in fictional writing it’s better to make up a poison then use a real one. That way you don’t have someone picking it apart later. Also you can give it whatever properties you want/need. Now excuse me while I continue to work on my immunity to iocane powder.

You mean Encounter at Farpoint? Or is that just some reference I’m missing. I’m not gonna rule out starting a war over Encounter at Farpoint at some point in the furture though, if for no other reason than the sheer irony.

What the fuck? Do people actually pay that for virtual bullshit? That’s like the price of a used Honda!

I’m not entirely convinced that Highlander 2 wasn’t written on the back of the same straw wrapper they used to write Gremlins 2.

I have no idea the answer to your question, but I now know like 99% of people on lemmy have shitty reading comprehension.

Congress?

Why would you need to defend yourself for ordering a pizza and being shocked by the high price? Sometimes I think I’ve gotten too old for the internet. People should be allowed to order a pizza every once in a while and not have to formulate a 5 point list of the reasons why it’s okay for them to order pizza.

I’d have hired you. At least I know you’d be honest and not try to hide shit for fear of embarrassment.

That’s a bit fucking dumb to reciprocate censorship, but also it would be hard to stop that functionality as well. But yeah I logged out and checked and my comment is 100% intact. Should defederate from .ml and put them on an island. Editing my comment to make it clear what idiot instance is the issue.

Did you censor the word “bitch” or is this some sort of fucking idiot censorship on lemmy.world? Fucking swear I’ll leave this instance at a drop of a hat if it is dumbass censorship. (Edit: It’s shitty ass lemmy.ml that’s censoring it, which is the above users home instance.)

Words don’t need to be blanket censored on the internet. Go ham with moderation but censoring words is how we end up with weird phrases like “unalive” instead of what they actually are murder, suicide, and death. Which makes it fucking hard to talk about fucking real god damn mother fucking problems people are dealing with you corporate bitch ass shills.

Fixed. Thanks!
