View Full Version : State Capital Area Deterioration.
I'm sure it is not news to anyone that the area around the Capital building, Civic Center park and surrounding areas have become a real POS. The media is covering this in their usual way and our politicians are doing nothing.
If you have not been down there in a while, take a drive. It is beyond belief! Tents and piles of trash everywhere. NO SOCIAL DISTANCING HERE!!!
They are putting up temporary chain link fence sections around OUR STATE CAPITAL BUILDING to keep it from being vandalized, there is graffiti and broken windows everywhere and plywood covers most of the first floor windows in any business in a 4 BLOCK AREA!!
Disgusting to say the least. It is (was) a great place for out of towners/staters to visit. Fantastic history and a wonderful tour, I saw several small groups of obvious tourist walking through this sea of vermin. What a great impression! Right Mr. Polis?
Bottom line is why did these jerks even get to this area and tear it up 7 weeks ago WITH NO POLICE OPPOSITION, where was the State Patrol?? On stand-down???
If you have seen it, you will be pissed. If you have not seen it, get ready.
By the way, they are doing a study on the cost of restoration of the damage to the buildings and monuments, they can't get and estimate because damage continues every day! It will probably take over 3 years and 2 mil to pay for this. They have less than a handful of perps and will convict 0.
Need to check my blood-pressure.
Our damage is nothing compared to other areas. Minneapolis along estimates $500 Million dollars in damage with $50 million to gov. building. Walgreens estimates $75 million UNINSURED losses to store damage and inventory theft just for the month of May nationwide. I support peaceful protests but this is out of hand.

We would drive by there somewhat regularly on our way home from the Denver Zoo, up until the end of 2019, and it was a shit hole back then, I can only imagine what it's like now.

I went by there a couple of weeks ago. What a disgrace to our state. Previously, you could always count on some freaks walking around or waiting for the Number 15 Bus, but the whole area now looks like some sort of 3rd world shithole.
There has been a steady progression of decline downtown. Tents everywhere downtown and when I had to go into RiNo.
"Progressive" certainly doesn't mean what they want you to think it means.
I do not envy the Denver Police Department or the State Patrol for having to deal with this crap. Morale has to be less than average.
We are behind you and appreciate what you are doing, keep the faith.

Spent the night up in the Centennial area. Never went past Arapahoe Ave. Ate at Tacobe’s, hit up Cabelas, stopped at Bowers Tactical for some parts and then on to the Container Store for the wife. Oh and Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory for desert last night!!
Wanted to go to Top Flight Golf but wife said it was to hot!!!
All that because she had an eye exam there. Gotta love Bowers!

Interesting that yesterday our Queen was on a radio interview (Ross Kaminski) and the question was posed what about the Capital and the vandalism.
Polesmoker said he had driven by it and it looked bad, that it was the legislatures responsibility to deal with it.

Oh and let’s be clear about something- it is not “deterioration”.
It is willful destruction resulting from criminal acts.
Criminal acts that the Governor, Mayor, Chief of Police and elected officials did nothing to prevent and have done nothing to prosecute.
It is a well known fact that during the unrest our Queen was nowhere near the Governors Mansion or Capitol.
He was hiding.
He thinks he has the “Authority” to wave his pen and dictate what We the People SHALL do as far as our jobs, schools, recreation and other aspects of our lives but won’t direct LE agencies to uphold the most basic of functions of public safety.
Deriliction of Duty, Refusal of obligation of office.
And your gonna “mandate” I wear a mask when I go out of my home?
You have the crass to make a statement that those who refuse to wear a mask are “selfish bastards” yet you are the highest ranking elected official in the State and didn’t take a stand to protect the State or the People for your own political reasons.
Selfish Bastards?

Why should any of them (left or right) take a stand? They know that if they do/say nothing they will get re-elected, but they jeopardize their chances if they take a stand. Every elected official is complicit in the destruction. This is why I'm a huge believer in term limits at all levels of government.

If they want to peacefully assemble and protest, fine. If they wantonly destroy private and government property (owned by us, the people), then law and order should prevail.
What we have here is a total Charlie Foxtrot. The government instituted by the people is sitting on its collective hands for some purpose other than serving its constituents, the taxpayers.

My wife grew up in Colorado.
She cried watching the video of downtown Denver.
It was one of the highlights of her youth being invited to tour the capitol building.
Unless you are a taxpayer right? Fuck those guys who work, pay taxes, and are law abiding.
Tax dollars are wasted regardless. I'd rather this than fucking over some individual's personal finances and insurance rates.

No, it's not. It's keeping their customers out of the area, so they're still screwed.
I'm pretty sure the shutdown was keeping their customers away, first.
We've been opening up for weeks. What other excuses do you have?
Well it sounds like the shit-show continues around the capital. Listening to what went on yesterday afternoon is sickening. It sounds like the DPD was instructed to stand down AT A RALLY THAT WAS SUPPORTING THE POLICE! Counter protesters pulled their usual well organized crap, went in unopposed and won the day. WTF is happening?
Any DPD insight on what went on yesterday would be appreciated. If I were a Denver Cop I would be one pissed off MF'r.

Any DPD insight on what went on yesterday would be appreciated. If I were a Denver Cop I would be one pissed off MF'r.Information I've read from the organizer and Weld county sheriff is that the DPD chief told organizers that they appreciate the sentiment, but the Chief asked them not to do it. Said it wasn't worth getting his officers hurt.
Weld County sheriff said he went and asked a DPD Lt onsite why they weren't helping keep the anti-police folks under control. The response was "it's not worth getting hurt for".
So, sounds like that "it's not hurt getting hurt for" was a policy that was passed down from the top. Defending peaceful pro police supporters is apparently not worth the risk of "getting hurt".
Does that policy also apply if the anti-police protesters are bent over the knee and given old-fashioned spankings? Not as a suggestion, just curious if anyone asked when it "is worth getting hurt".

The last thing the police want is more people in the street. If you want to support the team, fundraise for their booster organizations.
...and if any person on my team lawfully defends themselves they'll be unmercifully crucified by the protesters, the DPD, DA, handcock admin, and the media.
So...why hold these rallies in Denver, they should hold them in a city where the police will do their job.

All True.
What happens when bad people change from threatening to physical attacks and the DPD is on the side of the attackers during an event meant to support DPD?
Why have police if they're not going to do anything when laws are broken?
Is this situation going to fester until the people have finally had enough of feckless govt. and take control of the situation?

They can still have police, just that it'll be "depends on what side you're on" instead of "all men are treated equally under the law".
Denver is a 3rd world shithole aiming for 4th world status.

They risk losing even more support.
I seriously doubt it has anything to do with it not being worth getting hurt, but everything to do with not getting arrested, charged with a crime, and/or sued. That is what the crowd of people holding cell phones is waiting for. That and I can almost guarantee they are under direct orders to not do anything short of responding to a homicide.
I should also point out that even on this site, just a few short weeks ago, we had many people demanding that all uses of force, no matter how justified, all complaints, no matter how ludicrous, be tracked, and all officers who had too many (based on an arbitrary number some activist decides is too many), be fired. Due process, justice, fairness, or even plain common sense be damned. Anything an officer does there is guaranteed to be both a use of force AND a complaint, regardless of how reasonable their actions would be. If I’m not mistaken, DPD already counts and tracks both. The people are getting exactly what they are demanding.

You're damn right they are. I started saying this before I left law enforcement...eventually you anti-police people are going to get the kind of police department you want. And by then it's going to be too late. Now we're in the midst of a second civil war, it's starting to heat up, and we've allowed law enforcement agencies to be neutered. We've made our beds and now we have to lay in them.

You've hit it directly on the head.
That picture (and the plethora of others available) with the Communist hammer and sickle should be front and center on all media coverage of these protests everywhere. That is what this is really about. The leaders and organizers of these protests are Marxist/Communists and don’t really try to hide it. Even a quick look at the history of every Communist revolution will show you that the 500-1000 people killed (or who die in police custody, regardless of the cause) in the US is absolutely nothing compared to the purge that follows every single time a Communist “revolution” occurs by the replacement of the existing law enforcement. That doesn’t include the inevitable imprisonment of political dissidents they decide not to outright execute. Every time. Without fail.
Of course, I doubt half the population under 30 even knows what the hammer and sickle is, let alone the mass slaughter of innocent people it has wreaked upon the world ��. I watched a supposed documentary about WWII called Race to Victory on the History Channel. It ended by saying Stalin won the race to victory, brought his country back from the brink of defeat to beat one of the great “capitalist” countries in the world, being Nazi Germany, and was loved and cherished by his people. This after documenting the mass political slaughter of his “people” through the 6 episodes in the series. This re-writing of history is pervasive and has real, dangerous consequences.
I’m getting all worked up over here...self imposing a break for my blood pressure.
Here’s the link to the Race to Victory show, if you care. https://www.history.com/shows/world-war-ii-race-to-victory

You are absolutely right. But that angle will NEVER be mainstream. And you're also right that younger folks won't even know (or care). Just like Antifa being the obvious fascists, it will never be a mainstream story. Every symbol, idea, action and strategy they use is straight up out of the Marxist playbook. But it will never be admitted. Even if it was, would it stop?
I didn't live through the Cold War. Did the domestic commies ever gain this much traction then as they seem to be now? Because with my eyes, and I've studied the Cold War quite a bit, this seems worse here on our soil IMO.

Not even close. I've never seen communism as proudly and openly displayed and encouraged in this country in my nearly 60 years. And I've never seen so much apathy towards such displays. Even what we thought of as the far left in the 80s and 90s never embraced communism, at least openly, like this. It's surreal. I feel like I'm seeing images of some third world shithole country.
ETA: Hell, even the commies in the country, who were open about being commies, were pretty subtle compared to the Marxists of today.

Protesting or rallying doesn't do damn thing. The politicians know that their base will still vote them in. Go ahead and "rally" or "protest" about mag limits. Pfffffft.
Now, rioting on the other hand gets your voice heard and Congress kneeling.
Noteably people with nothing better to do have plenty of time to riot and/or protest, so the country is now pandering to that demographic. I don't think we'll ever see people with far better things to do meeting them in equal protest and numbers no matter how much we hope.

I thought Wayne Williams did a decent job within the bounds of his authority but that's why the Dems had to go all out to steal the Sec State position. No way they could carry out their plans for the state if someone honest was watching the statewide election process. John Sutherland also did a fair job within the bounds of his authority.

The rank-and-file want to step in and help. The commie leadership gave them orders not too.
Haven't the rank-and-file already given a "no confidence" vote to the leadership? I thought I read that a while back.
OTOH, they're doing what they're told and they compromised the safety of every good citizen that was there. The nasty question is, at what point do the rank-and-file say screw it, loose their jobs and pensions, and help the good guys. They're in a really tough position.

I hope I'm wrong but I've thought for a while that it's only a matter of time until someone shoots the piss out of an antifa or "BLM" protest. Anyone see what they did in Chicago? Used large banners and umbrellas to hide their approach to the location where a group of police officers were congregated then attacked them with frozen water bottles and other projectiles. Then they took apart the PVC pipe frames of the banners and the ends of the pipe section had been sharpened like spears. They used the non-violent part of the crowd to shield them from any police response. 49 officers injured, a few seriously.

Do you have a link? I'd like to look into this more.

Well organized, well choreographed, well funded. This wasn't a bunch of little commie wannabes coming up with this plan of attack.
ETA: Listen to the first questions from the press in the room once the briefing is over. It has to do with reports of police using excessive force against these "protesters". That kind of action could warrant a deadly force response from police. Of course the cops have to be careful because of so many in the crowd that weren't engaged in violence. Fucking insane.
Yep. MSM is still pushing the "non-violent protest" smoke-screen. These are militant anarchists, not "protestors".

Denver announced they are going to 'allow' CSP in enforce city laws around the capitol.
I think Denver needs to be reminded they are NOT the highest authority in the state and CSP doesn't answer to them. CSP can enforce state law anywhere they want including in Denver and they don't need authority to enforce city ordinances to clean up the capitol. They can clean it up with or without Denver's permission.
CSP just isn't in the business of crowd control and riot response. Maybe they'll use current events to evolve and up their game a bit.

So denver is saying a state L.E agency will patrol around the State Capitol.
YET has an issue with federal L.E. keeping security around a federal building.
I wonder if anyone in the Denver government, as well as others around the country. Has a mirror to see their hypocrisy?
It should be an interesting weekend in Denver and around the world. Back the cops, bottom line.
I'm hearing more and more comments of "enough is enough" when it comes to these militants. How much longer before the pendulum swings the other way?

Not soon enough
It is crystal clear what side the Governor, Mayor, Manager of Safety, Chief of Police, City Council have chosen.

I'm not sure it will swing the other way.
As I've mentioned (in one of these threads that I can't keep straight), the terrorists are refining their tactics. So much so they are waving American flags in Portland and they've got a whole bunch of veterans now standing on the front lines in the federal building siege demanding the feds leave. Well, reported vets. The dude wearing the navy sweatshirt that took 3 or 4 baton strikes like a boss got a lot of air time. So now there is a whole regiment of service logo shirt wearing folks joining the riots waving American flags.
The propaganda is strong with these criminals.

That only works when the media fails to accept instigators at face value and investig.....oh never mind [facepalm]

Just the fact someone's a vet doesn't mean a lot. John Kerry is a vet. I'm sure he'd feel right at home at one of these "protests".

How true. Don't forget about McCain.
On a slightly different subject.
I doubt either one of us regrets leaving CO.

A real veteran not some poser. Signed a blank check. So don’t go saying it doesn’t mean a lot. It means everything. Literally everything.

The protestors in tonight's rally are marching up both lanes of I225. Blocking traffic on an Interstate, refusing to yield.
This is nonsense.

[Plow][Plow][Plow][Plow][Plow][Plow][Plow]Yikes. A car that was heading their way scared one of the protesters apparently because one opened fire at the car. Missed it. And hit other protesters.
EDIT to add: I wonder if the fear of getting shot by fellow 'protesters' will put a damper on the amount of people who turnout for this shit? Maybe? Hopefully?

I don't question his service. i questioned his politics, as well as his turning his back on the party.
There's a difference between the two.

Yep. He went through some real shit in Vietnam and was active in keeping the other prisoners surviving.
...but was a horrible politician and a real media whore.
