People are so strange, they cry about how bad crime has gotten but when the City takes action all they do is cry about how the City takes action!?🤣🤪

[@kayceeyou]

It's because people are naive.

[@user-wg3sz9fr2z]

Yes, at the same time they are simply being honest how this action has affected them negatively. There are obviously a lot of factors those news reports have to leave out..

[@DanBoyd1111]

Yes@@user-wg3sz9fr2zthe media tends to leave out alot and add what they shouldn't. But being a blatant hypocrite isn't being honest, it's just blind ignorance!

[@cmc5394oparva]

Because Denverites are drug-addled, emotionally stunted morons with no self-awareness.

If you went to a doctor because your head hurt and his solution was to punch you in the head, would you blame the doctor? Even the scarecrow from the wizard of Oz could see this was at best a temporary bandaid solution to the more growing concern of illegal migrants to our country; as the current administration will need votes for the coming election 😂

[@jazolisauce5374]

I'm actually surprised the Regis was still open. It's been a known crime spot in Denver for decades. The timing is odd because of the cleanup going on.

[@nicholasmiles4966]

what clean up?

[@jazolisauce5374]

@@nicholasmiles4966 the homeless encampments were being cleaned up around Denver at the same time.

Been walking around this area for the last 3 weeks. It has a bad problem with drugs.

[@michaellittlethunder86]

That is a horrible spot to live though! All most those people do is hang on that corner.

[@missmarya747]

No its the people committing crimes that shut it down - as usual, we get the end results. Like I’ve said many homeless are not stable to grasp, living inside, respect for others, respect for self. Self inflicted.

[@mariapyrc6862]

Totally agree with you .....one theory is the govt is making way to house illegals which In itself will bring in more crime and way bigger street gangs. Too late to shut the border and deal with all the homeless and street people now.

[@nerdygamerguy8378]

Itll be open for illegal immigrants

[@thebastardgift]

Given the city shut down one motel in this area really means this establishment is only the first.

[@LindaDavis-iq9zj]

People need to own their choices and stop blaming everyone else for their demise.

[@gregorylincoln6167]

Next It will be used as a Migrant hotel.LMAO

[@rjrj4539]

Making room for migrants

[@nerdygamerguy8378]

Thank your liberals

[@CameronBrooks-ng2cf]

Vote blue no matter who is nice ain't it

[@steelwhisperer]

Migrants move on. These are illegal aliens that made their own country unlivable,and came here for free i Phones.

[@Amanda-nz5rl]

My spirit guides just threw a fuckin door across the room on this one lol

[@Amanda-nz5rl]

I was thinking about how I’m safer in my house with an alcoholic abuser than being out on the streets in Denver like the good ole days. God damn it was loud and shook the whole house

[@BigDripTV-ix3hp]

I thought that been shut down. It's blocked off like it's shut down

[@stephenforbesjr8187]

Their actions predicted this.

[@Freedom1rn]

The felon hotel 😂😂

[@CameronBrooks-ng2cf]

If they were homeless to begin with how are they homeless again

[@guywithdreads]

If you’re motel hoping that’s being homeless technically. Like getting a motel don’t give you rental history.

[@jojopapa7521]

FAKE news media TALKS without thinking what it is talking!!!

[@jakeemdowling8784]

Omg, they serious?? Why the hell aren't they providing shelter or replacement homes for these folks?? So unjust😢

[@kingsuperbus4617]

this should be illegal

[@kayceeyou]

Crime? Yes, it should be.

[@user-wg3sz9fr2z]

OP, what should be illegal?

[@CameronBrooks-ng2cf]

​@@user-wg3sz9fr2zliberals should all be booted out let em live in the woods

[@kawasukiyamahonda]

"We have too much crime at this central location that our police can easily monitor, and perform arrests on-site, so we've decided to close it down, and spread the crime to other locations" Remember folks, keep voting the same way you always have been that way things will get better, and won't stay the same.

[@user-wg3sz9fr2z]

I detect sarcasm on the last sentence/para. Who specifically are your speaking to there? How are they voting now? As in who are they for right now? Are you talking about the people in this motel?

[@steelwhisperer]

I detect a butthurt liberal.@@user-wg3sz9fr2z

[@bobbybrown8846]

This wasn’t for crime it was for the immigrants guaranteed that’s where they’re staying. They can make more money on immigrants and do the right thing by housing these poor souls
