Any Puerto Rican stabbed in Puerto Rico is a US citizen stabbed in Puerto Rico.

That’s the Reddit edit. The original APnews headline is “3 mainland US tourists stabbed in Puerto Rico neighborhood”

I don't understand why this article is posted here either. People are stabbed in Puerto Rico doesn't seem like a headline the onion would use. Wtf has happened to this sub.

Why would this have been a possible onion article in the first place?

My guess is because every Puerto Rico stabbing victim is an American stabbing victim, but people act like Puerto Rico citizens aren't American.

I'm not saying it's good satire, but my guess is this is what they meant

I think they're talking about people from the mainland. I'm also not surprised these tourists got stabbed. Rich people move here and jack prices up for the locals and then say the same time build these communities where they all live together. So the locals see people who remember l resemble the rich and attack because they really don't like them

Clearly, the most heinous crime committed here was by these tourists who had the audacity to take videos in a public space. Who does that?

Does the AP not know that Puerto Rico is part of the US?

It’s a very specific part of the island that you have to very purposefully attempt to go to. You can’t accidentally end up in La Perla. And you’re told not to go there by pretty much everyone. So just don’t be an idiot tourist and you’d be fine.
