I was curious what you were referring to but had an idea.

DENVER — People living in and around the Union Station area are worried they are losing their neighborhood to rampant crime and they are trying to take it back.
The bright lights of downtown Denver are being drowned out by blue and red ones around Union Station.

I'd be frustrated as Hell, too.

"It’s not what we signed up for," said Billy Kurz. Kurz is a longtime Denver resident. He and his wife moved out of the suburbs and into a Lower Downtown condo three years ago. "I moved into the LoDo area to be closer to where all the action is," he said.
The action he’s seeing now isn’t what he was hoping for. "There's pretty rampant drug use, nudity down here. You have to really pick your spots where you are going to be," said Kurz.

I don't think anyone wants to look at naked meth heads whether male or female.
Whether liberal or conservative makes no difference but I'm ready for a "much tougher on crime" approach.

"Since there are less people working, there are more people doing bad things, and unfortunately they’re not facing consequences for their actions," explains Kurz.
Kurz and Greenly partly blame recognizance bonds which allow the person arrested to get out of jail without exchanging money. Kurz says they are working with the district attorney's office in hopes of getting more convictions out of offenders.

I'm all for rounding up these miscreants and sending to them to 'internment camps' near La Junta. Seriously, these clowns need big time intervention. How many $millions does Denver spend on Narcan?

DENVER (KDVR) — The City of Denver told FOX31 drug use is one of the biggest reasons why homeless sweeps are necessary. Last year, the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment collected more than 4,400 needles from homeless encampments.
But the most telling statistics about drugs and homelessness come from the Denver morgue.
“We’re in the worst overdose crisis we’ve ever seen in the United States, Colorado, and in Denver,” said Lisa Raville, executive director of the Harm Reduction Action Center. HRAC is Colorado’s largest public health agency that works specifically with people who inject drugs.

Whatever it is 'they' think should be working IS NOT WORKING.
