DENVER (AP) — It was lunchtime on a mild day in the sprawling Denver suburb of Aurora when a truck full of teens pulled into a high school parking lot where students were gathered, and gunfire rang out.

Three were wounded as others ran in fear.

One of the boys charged in the Nov. 19 shooting later told investigators he brought his armed friends to an expected gang fight because “it’s the way it is in this town,” court documents said...

...Aurora has seen an increase in Black and Latino families and immigrants from around the world as Denver has grown more expensive in recent years. These families of color have been hit harder health-wise but also economically by the COVID-19 pandemic, contributing to mental health problems...

...McBride said a 16-year-old recently told him he would use bullets if he got into a fight so he would not have to worry about messing up his clothes.

“That’s the head space our kids are in,” he said....

Bring in enough 3rd worlders into the US and it becomes 3rd world.

“ Aurora has seen an increase in Black and Latino families and immigrants from around the world…”

So, is AP racist for implying that this increase in gangs and others illegally using firearms isn’t because of Whites or Asians, but put squarely on the shoulders of Blacks and Latins? Why, yes it is. When is it banned from Twitter?

If this isn’t a clarion call to disarm law-abiding citizens, nothing is. The way forward has never been clearer!

The answer, of course, is to import more lawless people from backward countries while punishing the law abiding people already here.

And of course, there was that great deal less violence among teens when clubs like these were quite common in public high schools.

If we disarm Democrats that would take near half the guns off the street. I don’t see how they could object to that.

“That’s the head space our kids are in,”

And I wonder where that comes from?

Democrats should lead the way to civilian disarmament.

They would be much better off focuing on violent crime, and weak on prodecution DAs, instead of clinging to the failed 1960s poltical dogma of “gun control”

I always thought it was interesting how violence among minorities always seemed to spring up at the same time in large cities all across the US. From Boston to LA, usually caused by one minority group.

It is as if they all got a command to turn violent at the same time.

Beto ORourke wants to be Texas governor. He said he will go door to door and TAKE all guns... especially “assault rifles” Well little Beto boy, good luck, you will need it!

“...Aurora has seen an increase in Black and Latino families and immigrants from around the world...”

That’s the problem, not guns. Whenever a town or city becomes infested with blacks it starts the inevitable decline into Third World status, then mix in other 3rd World people and the process is complete.
