CO Gov. calls gang takeovers of buildings "imagination"

There is a frightening situation going on in Aurora, Colorado. Illegal aliens who belong to Venezuela's Tren de Aragua gang have gone into buildings armed and potentially violent, ready to take over apartment complexes, beat the crap out of renters, and operate a retail theft ring. 

Unlike Denver down the road a bit, Aurora is not a sanctuary city and haven't provided resources to illegal alien care. The residents of the town have tried working with state law enforcement agencies but the Governor, Jared Polis (D-of course) doesn't seem to care nor take the situation seriously.

Polis recently scoffed at the Venezuelan gang stories calling them all to be a figment of one member of the Aurora City Council's imagination. (H/T NY Post) 

Never mind that it's on video of these gang members armed to the teeth with handguns, rifles with bipods, and battering rams breaking into apartments and terrorizing residents. Video is not imagination nor are the police reports that have been generated from these atrocious acts.

If Polis was forced to live in one of these apartments, there's no doubt he would react differently. But politicians are not affected directly by violence for the most part, and they couldn't care less about residents as long as they keep getting voted in.

Polis’ press office offered the snarky statement Wednesday night in response to Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky — who told The Post the gang’s takeovers are tied to his policies.

“The Governor has already let the Mayor know that the State is ready to support the local police department with assistance from state troopers and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation if needed,” Shelby Wieman, a spokesperson for the Democratic governor, told The Post.

“But, according to police intelligence this purported invasion is largely a feature of Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.”

So Polis pees on our legs and tells us it's just raining.

We know that one person has already been shot and critically wounded by these illegal aliens. Others were beaten and required hospitalization. Many had to flee their own homes and theft for the local Walmart at the apartment complex in question has soared and goods are being sold off on the black market. It sounds a lot like what Hamas has been doing with the aid coming into Gaza by truck--they commandeer it and sell it off or use if for themselves.

The local news ran videos of groups of men speaking Spanish and armed with handguns and rifles breaking into one of the apartments. What does Polis have to see to convince him that this isn't one person's imagination.

But stupid people don't know that they're stupid.

Aurora shooter not supposed to possess a firearm after felony conviction

Aurora, Ill. -- On Friday afternoon, a man [we'll simply call him Dickweed] opened fire on employees at the Henry Pratt Company after being told during a meeting that his job had been terminated.

Dickweed then pulled out his illegal handgun and killed five of his co-workers and later injured five police officers.

According to Aurora Deputy Police Chief Keefe Jackson, within five minutes of the first 911 call, officers arrived on the scene, and at approximately 2:59 p.m. local time, the suspect was shot and killed following a brief exchange of gunfire.

At a Saturday press conference, Aurora Police Chief Kristen Ziman revealed that Dickweed had been arrested previously on six separate occasions by the Aurora PD, "including arrests for traffic and domestic battery-related issues."

He was last arrested by the department "in 2008 for violating an order of protection." However, he was most recently arrested "in 2017 by the Oswego, Illinois Police Department for disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property."

The suspect obtained a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card in January 2014. Two months later, he purchased a Smith & Wesson .40 caliber handgun.

"During the finger-printing and background process" for a conceal and carry permit, "it was discovered that [Dickweed] had a felony conviction for aggravated assault out of Mississippi," Ziman stated.

She also said:

"The date of that conviction was August 3, 1995. It should be noted that this conviction would not necessarily have shown up on a criminal background check conducted for a FOID card. Once this felony conviction was discovered, the offender's conceal and carry permit was rejected, and his FOID card was revoked by the Illinois State Police.

A reporter asked Chief Ziman: "Does the series of events relating to the gun license and the revocation of his FOID card mean that he was in illegal possession of that gun?"

She replied: "That is absolutely correct, yes."

The same reporter then asked if authorities should have confiscated the suspect’s firearm after his FOID card was revoked, to which Ziman replied:

"That's what we are determining right now as part of our investigation ... absolutely he was not supposed to be in possession of a firearm. ... After a FOID card revocation, the subject is provided a letter stating that they need to relinquish their firearms, and we're looking into why that did not happen."

According to Chief Ziman, four of the five injured police officers suffered gunshot wounds to various limbs, and one was hit with shrapnel. As of the press conference, two officers were being treated and were in stable condition, while the other three had been treated and released, or were expected to be released.

The investigation is ongoing and I will bring you updates as they come. Meanwhile, wait for the left to make this a gun-control issue rather than the failure of a proper authority to proactively confiscate the illegal weapon.

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

Nothing Trump does satisfies the mainstream media

A leftist website known as Bustle.com posted a piece on President Trump regarding the shooting that occurred at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland in which five staffers of the newspaper were killed and others injured.

The title of the hit piece is "Video Of Trump Ignoring Questions On The Capital Gazette Shooting Will Stun You."

What a load of crap!

The article insinuates that Trump had nothing more to say about the shooting to reporters who screamed questions at him as he was going about his business, save for his tweet on Thursday.

An NBC News clip shows Trump walking away as reporters shouted at him questions such as, "Do you have any words of condolences for the families [of the victims], Mr. President?"

Another 'unbiased' reporter is heard shouting, "Why are you walking away?" while another yelled, "Why don't you come and talk to us about that?"

Trump doesn't owe these reporters the time of day--it's up to them to get the story, but they tend to often get it at the expense of Republicans, especially POTUS.

Nothing President Trump does is okay with the mainstream media. Nothing. And the errors they make in reporting never, never go against the Democrats or socialists [as they now move to fully become], it's always against the administration and those on the right.

Trump tweeted about the shooting:

"This attack shocked the conscience of our nation and filled our hearts with grief. Journalists, like all Americans, should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their job."

"We pledge our eternal support. My government will not rest until we have done everything in our power to reduce violent crime and to protect innocent life."

Now I take issue with Trump saying "My government." It isn't his, it's ours. But what more does he need to say to assuage the bias of reporters? If he gave a longer, more heartfelt response to the shooting, would they have been satisfied, or would they use the opportunity to ask him the ridiculous question as to how calling the press "fake news" sparked the shooting or divides the country?

When Obama was president, he used the occasion of the Pulse Nightclub shooting to score political points, calling it "an especially heartbreaking day for our friends who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender."

He wasn't done:

"This is a sobering reminder that attacks on any American, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation is an attack on all of us and on the fundamental values of equality and dignity that define us as a country, and no act of hatred or terror will ever change who we are or the values that make us Americans."

Then before the bodies were even buried, he issued another call to restrict limits to firearm access, something to which the Republicans and the NRA have agreed upon, but have pointed out how the laws that are already in place are not being followed, just like what Obama did with the immigration laws.

"This massacre is a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that allows them to shoot people [he's referring to firearms, in case a leftist is reading this]."

He made references to previous shootings in which mentally ill people were able to get their hands on guns, such as Aurora, Colorado and Newtown, Connecticut. He didn't call them mentally ill, nor point out the Pulse Nightclub shooting was carried out by a radical Muslim.

"We have to decide if that's the kind of country we want to be. And to do nothing is a decision as well." 

Then he didn't say anything to the families who were shot on his watch as Trump did.

But Bustle.com refers to the video of Trump not taking time out to talk to reporters who are clearly looking to ambush him.

How shocking.

Colo. sexual assault may be hate crime

Aurora, CO. -- A sexual assault in Aurora on Friday may have been a racially-motivated hate crime.

Law enforcement officials say a woman was attacked Friday morning at the Mission Viejo Plaza Shopping Center by two black men. The 23-year-old woman, who is white, said they were yelling racial slurs before fleeing.

Aurora police would not comment on whether the case is being classified as a bias-related attack.

"I'm afraid; I'm scared," said Mirna Ontiveros, who works at the shopping center. She told the media that she had been recently robbed at gunpoint, and despite the area surveillance cameras, she would still like to see a greater police presence.

"I really hope they find them because we don't feel safe. And I hope she's okay [the victim] and hopefully we'll have more protection in the area," she said.

Currently, there are no suspects and no leads, but the search continues.

Police are canvassing the area and going through surveillance video.

Everything is Political

Nothing anyone can say will get by without offending someone. Everything seems to be politicized lately. Everything bothers at least one group of people.

The latest Colorado school shooter was a socialist. Phil Robertson is homophobic, in spite of the fact that he used to bible to make his statement about gays. The Washington Redskins name is an insult to native Americans who used to be called Indians but that offended people from India and Indians born here. The New York and San Francisco Giants offends little people who used to be called midgets but were offended by that title. The Broncos, Panthers, and Jaguars probably offends PETA, an organization who likes critters more than they like people. Everyone is so easily offended about everything.

Guns Don't Kill People, Hammers Do

There was another shooting in Aurora, CO today and four people are dead, included the shooter. The police had him cornered in a house and when he tried to use his gun on them, they shot him dead. Before they got to the scene, however, he had already killed three other people who did not have guns on them. Perhaps if they did, this killer would have only become a dead almost killer.

When the leftist media reports on shootings like this, they discuss the gun(s) being used, how many times the victims were shot, and if the weapons were legally bought, they have a field day filled with self-righteous joy because it moves their agenda forward--guns kill and should be banned.

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he or she doesn't own one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he or she tries to ban them. Their solution to such a complicated issue always is the easiest, most simplistic one--get rid of guns and you get rid of gun violence. 

Laws are supposed to be a means to that end; that is, pass a law to get rid of guns and there will be no legal guns on the street. Of course, you know my next statement is, "only illegal guns will be used." And gun laws do squat to solve the problem; just look at Chicago and New Orleans. There are strict laws against these weapons and they have done nothing whatsoever to end the gun violence, and Chicago sets the record in per capita killings, mostly through gang activity, and most of the perps who kill with guns, a huge percentage have served time in prison. No, the problem isn't the guns, the problem is the gangs and their ability to get their hands on illegal weapons.

Legislators who discuss the banning of guns, particularly assault weapons, know as much about what they're talking about as a worm knows about quantum theory. In a sense, all weapons are assault weapons.  When marines hit a beach, their weapons are on semi-automatic unless they have to lay down a wall of fire and then they throw their selector switch to full auto. And all weapons are used to assault a target.  But we all know that the truth beneath the blather, is that liberals want guns out of the hands of all people--and that is all guns. 

The FBI just released new data showing that hammers kill more people in the USA than guns. Of course the argument from the left is going to be, "But guns are intended to kill people and hammers are intended to hammer nails." That would be true of hammers had a brain, as did guns. Guns were designed to fire rounds at a target. The target by lawbiding gunowners is made of paper or clay, but like a hammer, it can be used to kill.
