Another example of why the citizenry must be armed.
Yup. Public servants. MHMHMMM. To protect and serve. MHMMM.

PR is the most socialist state - well, sort of - in the US. You have to realize that many Puerto Ricans got their political formation in NYC, where they learned from the worst.

They had a good governor a few years ago who tried to get private industry going and was pretty successful - but the municipal unions got rid of him.
Great. That’s another day we don’t have to pay them.
