Colorado let's you get away with practically anything... Except oppose their politics!
By Juan Fermin Nosocialism.com | January 2, 2026
Imagine this: A Venezuelan gangbanger from Tren de Aragua beats a local senseless with a bat in Aurora—second-degree assault, a "crime of violence" under Colorado law. He gets slapped with charges, but thanks to the state's woke bail "reform," he's back on the streets in days, no cash required. Local cops shrug off ICE detainers because, hey, "sanctuary" vibes. Weeks later? Federal agents swoop in for deportation after he reoffends. Or take the undocumented drunk driver in Adams County who plows into a family, leaving three mangled in the hospital—vehicular assault, a felony that screams "clear and present danger." Personal recognizance? You bet. Out he goes, pending appeal, until ICE finally hauls him away. Hell, even an illegal alien tied to a June 2025 terror plot in the Rockies—alleged bomb-making for jihad—gets the soft touch before DHS tips off ICE for a tip-line revamp.
Now flip the script: Enter Tina Peters, the Mesa County Clerk who dared peek behind the curtain of 2020's Dominion voting machines, uncovering what she called "irregularities" (read: potential fraud). No violence, no victims—just a patriot doing her job, exposing logs erased and votes flipped in her county. Convicted on seven state felonies in August 2024—tampering, impersonation—she's slapped with nine years and denied bond during appeals. Trump's December 2025 federal pardon? Crickets from Gov. Jared Polis and the courts; it's "state sovereignty," they say, as if she's El Chapo. Her emergency motion last Christmas Eve? Still pending, while she wastes away in Denver Women's Correctional, health crumbling.
This isn't justice—it's a two-tiered farce. Rapists, burglars, gang members: "Equity" means a revolving door, courtesy of HB23-1230's cashless bail and HB13-1119's ICE blockade. Over 3,500 undocumented arrests in Colorado alone last year, with hundreds released post-bust for "malicious" hits like assaults and murders—until feds clean up the mess. Violent crime? It's ticked up since reforms kicked in, with property thefts and beatings surging as "rehabilitated" thugs reoffend. Voters tried to claw back with Prop 128 in 2024—longer sentences for repeat violent felons, no early outs—but the damage lingers, and sanctuary holdouts like Denver keep the party going.
Oppose the machine? You're the "threat." Peters isn't swinging bats or brewing bombs—she's a 70-year-old grandma challenging the sacred cow of "secure elections." For that, Colorado's blue overlords paint her as a flight risk, a tamperer endangering "democracy." Bond denied, habeas tossed, pardon ignored. It's the same lawfare trap I railed against in "The Lawfare Trap": Weaponize the system against reformers while coddling chaos agents.
| Criminal Profile | Threat Level | Colorado's "Justice" | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Undocumented Gangbanger (TdA, Aurora Assault) | High (Violence, Reoffend Risk) | HB23-1230 Bail Reform + Sanctuary Hold | Released Locally, ICE Deports Later |
| Illegal DUI Manslaughter Suspect (Adams Co.) | High (Reckless Endangerment) | Personal Recognizance Pending Appeal | Walks Free Until Federal Pickup |
| Alien Terror Plotter (Rockies Bomb-Maker) | Extreme (National Security) | Lax Local Enforcement | Tip Line Cleanup, Then Gone |
| Tina Peters (Election Integrity Probe) | None (No Victims, Political Dissent) | Full Lockdown, Pardon Snub | 9 Years, No Bond— "Democracy Defender" My Ass |
X is erupting with the hypocrisy—over a dozen posts since December 1 tying Trump's veto of a $1.3B Arkansas Valley water project straight to Peters' plight. "RELEASE TINA PETERS NOW, TODAY! And the project will be approved," blasts one user, echoing Trump's chess play: No federal dime for a state that cages patriots. Another: "You Colorado dem Marxists are illegally holding TINA PETERS... what comes around, goes around." Boebert's blistering response—"I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retribution"—only amps the calls: "I'm ready to drive to Colorado to help release Tina Peters." Even lefties chime in: "Trump's been after the governor of Colorado to release Tina Peters... stop with your hypocrisy." The vibe? Pure revolt—petitions surging, threats of a 2026 ballot nuke on sanctuary laws.
This is socialism's endgame: Protect the predators, persecute the principled. Polis dreams of higher office while his "equity" experiment turns streets into war zones and prisons into political gulags. Trump's veto? Not pettiness—it's leverage, a wake-up call: Free the whistleblower, or watch the feds' wallet snap shut. Sign the petition at Kim Monson's site—deliver it en masse. Back the 2026 initiative to mandate ICE holds on violent felons. Flood X with #FreeTinaPeters. Demand audits, voter ID, and real reform nationwide. Because if Colorado can coddle killers but chain clerks, no state's safe from the rot.
America First means justice for all—or none. Which side are you on?
