The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Fascinating that you would disregard actual video of the criminals in action

What I saw in the video was armed people entering an apartment.

How do we know they're Venezuelan?
How do we know they're a gang? Or specifically the Tren de Aragua gang?
How do we know they're taking over the building and not just fairly peacefully entering a single apartment with the occupant's permission?

Again, this was armed men entering an apartment. They knocked on the door and entered. The video clip doesn't prove anything else.

Please note, I'm not saying this wasn't that specific Venezuelan gang - just that the video doesn't prove it. We need something else for that proof.


This is how critical thinking works. You see what you see, but you don't read into it MORE than you see.
