Despite speculation from the public,
00:01
police have confirmed that a Colorado apartment complex is not being run
00:06
by a gang and the tenants are not paying rent money to
00:10
its members. So this is some bullshit.
00:14
Yeah. Rumors about the trend that Agua a large criminal organization
00:19
from Venezuela taking over the edge at Laudy apartments in Aurora.
00:24
Colorado began circulating after a video went viral,
00:28
showing men carrying guns and entering the apartment.
00:32
Yo. Mhm Wait,
00:36
how many people are there?
00:37
That's a and they just,
00:39
they're all loaded. That's crazy though,
00:42
dude. Like imagine you look at your apartment blink camera and
00:45
you're like, hey,
00:46
yo, all these dudes with freaking guns are outside and it's
00:49
not the cops or something.
00:50
It's just like what the freak interim Aurora police chief Heather Morris
00:55
had to clear up allegations.
00:57
The edge of Lai apartments in Aurora,
00:58
Colorado have not been taken over by gang members.
01:01
Morris continued, we've been talking to the residents here and learning
01:05
from them to find out what exactly is going on and there's
01:09
definitely a different picture despite the viral post and similar sentiments circling
01:13
online city officials assert that Aurora is a safe place to live
01:17
work and visit.
01:18
Isn't that where a mass shooting company?
01:20
The theater one. Yeah.
01:22
Yeah. I'm not laughing at that.
01:25
But it's just like,
01:25
yeah, you're right.
01:27
Aurora has its history.
01:28
It has its history but it's crazy that the tenants at the
01:32
edge at Loudy Apartments had to hold a press conference to dispute
01:36
claims about gangs taking over the complex man.
01:40
I mean, social media can paint any narrative nowadays,
01:43
Brother. No. Yeah,
01:44
it just, it sucks.
01:45
It's all fake news and it always creates a narrative of,
01:48
again, where are they from?
01:49
Supposedly Venezuela? Exactly.
01:51
And so they're like,
01:51
oh Latinos coming into our apartment complex and taking over these,
01:55
you know, these gangs taking over.
01:57
It's like, oh dude,
01:58
freaking Fox news was eating this shit.
02:02
Oh brother, they,
02:03
oh this, they're playing this like a fiddle right now because
02:06
and the only reason I know is because they play that
02:09
shit at the gym where I go.
02:12
So they have it there and I'm just like,
02:13
you know, doing my thing on the treadmill and then all
02:15
of a sudden I'm like,
02:16
oh man, that's why I like games and this and this
02:19
and this and that,
02:20
you know, and I'm like,
02:22
hm, fake news.
02:24
They never, I mean,
02:25
sometimes they only in fact check.
02:26
So it's like, again,
02:27
like if they believe this and they ran with it,
02:29
it's like, bro,
02:32
so you can't believe anything
