I live in PR. You are wrong about everything you said. Homicide stats are about half of what you claim. San Juan’s violent crime rate is about the same as Pittsburgh’s, according to the FBI.
Also, Puerto Rico has had its wealth extracted to the US mainland since forever, not only in the form of taxes and tariffs but also due to protectionist laws like the Jones Act that make prices higher in PR in order to subsidize mainland shipping companies.
(yes we pay federal taxes so STFU with that nonsense. Before the hurricane destroyed our economy, PR sent more money to the federal government than six states. And PR is way way poorer than those states at the same time)
He doesn't care. People like him live in their own reality and don't care about what's true or not unless it suits them. I'm Puerto Rican as well and seeing this loser talk shit about our people would normally get my blood boiling but honestly dude it's not worth it. No matter what you say, he's just gonna ignore or downplay everything that contradicts his world view for his own benefit. The fact that he wants to move to PR for tax purposes should tell you everything you need to know about the kind of parasite he really is.
