Despite clear evidence, many still deny the reality of the situation, sometimes using us as scapegoats. That’s why we are no longer staying silent. We will continue to counter falsehoods with simple facts and evidence. Yes, gangs did take control of our apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, and the government did nothing. That is the real story.
–Cbz Management, 11 October 2024
In fairness, the government didn’t do nothing. It did call them liars and falsely declared that there were no Venezuelan gangs in Aurora, that if there were any gangs there, they hadn’t taken over any apartment complexes, and if they had taken over any apartment complexes, they had paid for them and were running them as legitimate landlords.
None of which is true, of course, but it’s not nothing. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they also warned the management company not to take matters into their own hands.
