Yes, they are ready for statehood...
Wow. Puerto Rico is part of the United States how long before this happens in Calipornia? Texas?
Sit on a second vest when in a chopper?
I’m kind of surprised it doesn’t happen more often.
Very sad what has happened to the island. My husband’s family is from there and I have visited many times over the last few decades and couldn’t believe how it has deteriorioted since the 70’s and 80’s. If it wasn’t for the high crime rate, drugs and high unemployment, it might have been a nice place to retire. This is a shocking story.
Set them up? Red car, runs from stop, leads chopper past ambush point...
Does not sound random.
The culture and Law Enforcement in Texas is quite different than California. I have known a couple of Texas Rangers, and they are very capable.
That said, there have been incidents along the border that no one can ignore. Generally against Border Patrol, but even some civilians have been held or shot.
One of the contributers, Daily Sun staff writer Xavira Neggers Crescioni probably should think about dropping or changing his middle name. It probably is OK in Puerto Rico, but if he has any plans of forwarding his career stateside, he is in deep doodoo.

I didn’t realize that the Amish had made it to PR!
I’m kind of surprised it doesn’t happen more often.Despite their relatively slow speed Helicopters are not an easy target to hit, especially if the shooter has no experience shooting at flying objects and does not know how to lead one
Hey! Let’s make them a state!
Actually, I disagree with the governor. This type of behavior is not only acceptable for Puerto Rico, it’s what we’ve come to expect.
There has to be a joke in there somewhere if it weren’t so darned serious I mean, what does the driver of the get away vehicle hope to accomplish with a high speed escape? I mean aren’t they on an island? There is a limited amount of space before the road dead ends or do they just ride around in circles until either the car or the helicopter runs out of gas?
I saw this helicopter on target from about a 1/4 of a mile before it made the forced landing. He was at a stationary hover of about one hundred feet AGL.

Well, it does look like they are ahead of some our gangs in Los Angeles!
At least I don’t recall any of our gangs yet downing an actual helicopter.
(But I suspect the LAPD knows better than to fly their helis in
some areas of Los Angeles!!!)
RIP.
Then it is the pilot’s fault.
