So....instead of going strict on gun criminals...Denver is going the other way...finding ways to be lenient with young gun criminals...the ones causing the rise in gun crime...in gun controlled Denver....
Democrat mayors since 1963
Denver's "gun court" wouldn't punish teen gun crimes as strictly
The people planning this initiative are dancing around the risk of saying precisely what they’re talking about here.
But the truth is obvious and has been for a while. Denver is dealing with an escalating gang violence problem.
The Denver Post published a deep dive on the subject last October. In addition to the usual gangs engaged in illegal drug and weapons sales, the city is dealing with a new breed of so-called “hybrid gangs.” These groups form in schools and detention centers, are generally small in terms of the number of members and frequently engage in gun violence to control turf. They are also frequently not tied to any particular neighborhood and roam across the city.
So what is this new “gun court” going to do to deal with this plague? They’re going to focus on “family interventions, gun education, counseling and community resources.” Their overarching goal is to “prevent young people charged with gun possession from escalating to more serious crimes and empower them to make better life choices.”
