SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Liz G. Rodríguez Quiñonez grew up schooled in being able to throw her body to the floor in the middle of the night, in the event that stray bullets from a nearby shootout came crashing through her window.

Another democRATic sh*thole.
South Chicago coming to a Puerto Rico near you soon.
But it’s enough to keep the average citizen unarmed.
NO idea what happened there to the computer.
Easy for you to say.
Multiple times.
That’s a pretty good run.
Is it truly ‘enough’?
