COMMENTARY

juanmanuel 19th October 2009	We had a massacre of 8 this weekend.Last month we had a massacre of three in Isla Verde, a very popular tourist area.
Sarah M. 29th July 2009	Just recently returned to the US after being in Puerto Rico. My last visit to the Island was about eight years ago. How is the crime in Puerto Rico? You want to discuss crime, my father was just killed at the age of 62 while he worked protecting others. What in the world is going on there. The government must do something to stop the autrocity of crimes that are taking place against the innocent.
CrzyRican 13th July 2005	The crime in Puerto Rico is more larger then any of the statistics is showing. Puerto Rico should also show the amount of corruption in the system as a citizen and familiar to the area the Island is conflicted by many drug trafficking and murders. I you dont belive me go in to fbi files of Puerto Rico past history its very disturbing. I believe because the economy revolves around the intrusion of Tourism the goverment feels is not a good idea to display this type of statistics
