The mayor should be ashamed! All those gang members should be immediately DEPORTED. PERIOD.

[clevelandsteve]

If this video wasn't going viral they would continue to do nothing!

[TheBlackBX]

If the mayor is proven to down play 32 gang members taking over apartment complexes, he's negligently putting people's lives at risk, and the mayor needs to do prison time.

[chuckholt]

No evidence of gang violence…
Ignore the guns on the video.
Ignore the people going door-to-door.

Seems to me that law enforcement is more concerned about the safety of migrants than American citizens

[preston]

“Wants Venezuelans to know that you should call 911 if you feel threatened.” How about Americans? What an insult to the people of Denver that your mayor would care more about illegals migrants than the legal Americans living there.

[timterell]

This is what happens when politicians arent held accountable for anything

[christinevandegriend]

The Mayor wants Venezuelans to know that if they feel “threatened” they can call 911? What a DISGRACE!!!

[gareniskandaryan]

Gang members are collecting rent at gunpoint from legal tenants, and the police want them to feel safe and unthretened while they rob us. This sounds like an episode of South Park

[corpsmankind]

The Denver mayor not showing solidarity with the Mayor of Aurora is sickening. Truly sickening.

[CarolSmith-kb]

Seems your Colorado politicians who live in gated communities aren't worried about gangs or crime.

[professorpauls]

arrest that coward mayor for treason .

[innercynic]

Everything's "alleged" when the overwhelming evidence points to the facts.

[antelopebuster]

That Mayor is crazy. Give his home address to Venezuela gang.

[bebro]

Sick of lying politicians... Colorado native BTW.

[ryv]

He looks exactly like what you’d expect to see when you hear the words “Denver Mayor” 😂

[monalisanail]

It's time you all vote these criminals out of office.❤

[Bigvic]

This isn’t alleged, we are seeing it with our eyes. It’s on video

[gsxr]

Don't worry your mayor will be completely safe and secure through all of this.

[BernieMittens]

This didn’t age well after the same apartment complex just had 14 people arrested in connection with a kidnapping.
