SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Three U.S. tourists were stabbed in Puerto Rico early Monday after police said someone told them to stop filming in a renowned seaside community known as La Perla that is popular with visitors.
The confrontation began when one of the tourists, who lives in South Carolina, began filming a mobile hamburger cart and was told to stop and leave the area, police said.No one has been arrested. The attack happened nearly two years after a tourist from Delaware was killed and set on fire after police said he was warned not to take pictures while buying drugs in La Perla. A friend of his also was beaten but survived.
La Perla is located in the historic part of Puerto Rico’s capital known as Old San Juan and became famous after it was featured in the video of"Despacito," a song released in 2017 by Puerto Rican singers Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee. The community was once a dangerous slum considered the island’s biggest distribution point for heroin, but crime has dropped since a 2011 raid by federal agents.
I have seen 3 or 4 youtube docs basically about not filming in La Perla. I do my research before I visit anywhere even in the states.
Are you more concerned about where they are from? not that they are people like you and me?
Love me some Puerto Rican nookie
So they go stabby-stabby to keep the dope dealers anonymous? Or to keep the area unknown to the majority of people? Cuz some wealthy pos should've bought that area by now...🤔
Fun fact... Puerto Rico is a US Territory. Here's a better intro: Entitled Tourists from [insert state here], FAFO.
How many stabbed in Dem run cities over weekend?
Why do mainlanders think it's OK to record themselves buying drugs? That doesn't fly anywhere.
A driver from the US flipped their car in Los Angeles last night.
I feel like from the U.S. is wrong since Puerto Rico is a territory of the U.S. May want to hire smarter writers…
Puerto Rico Is Part Of The U.S.
Statehood For Puerto Rico Right Now
Don't go to Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico is a part of the US…. Get a better editor
Look 👀 Just because Puerto Rico is struggling to embrace the freedom of the press imbued in the 1st Amendment doesn't magically make them not a part of the U.S. California stomps on the 2nd Amendment all the time and we wouldn't call Idahoans on vacation there 'from the U.S.'
I worked on container ships running to San Juan PR for 25 years. No one I mean no one ever went to La Perla. Unless of course you were a drug addict. 🤷♂️
Do y'all not know what country Puerto Rico is a part of?
When you say 'from the U.S.' Puerto Rico is the U.S.
