Yankees, JetBlue join list of those boycotting the Puerto Rican Day Parade - SuperFlyBCat - 05-26-2017 11:57 AM
http://nypost.com/2017/05/23/sponsors-the-yankees-join-list-of-those-boycotting-the-puerto-rican-day-parade/
Sponsors and government officials marched away from the Puerto Rican Day Parade on Monday — with the New York Yankees, JetBlue and even the city’s top cop ditching the event over its decision to honor a deadly terror organization’s kingpin.
Police Commissioner James O’Neill cited the bloodshed caused by the Puerto Rican nationalist group once run by Oscar López Rivera, who will be hailed at the June 11 march by the organizers of the annual celebration.
“I can’t support a man who was the co-founder of an organization that engaged in over 120 bombings, six people killed and seriously injured police officers,” O’Neill said.
Before President Barack Obama commuted his sentence in January, López Rivera spent 36 years in prison

Immigrant goes to America,
Many hellos in America;
Nobody knows in America
Puerto Rico's in America!

Puerto Rico is kind of a special case. The guy was a terrorist, but its not like Puerto Rico has any democratic control over its status.
Do you guys support Puerto Rican statehood, as a state with an official language of Spanish? Or do you support more colonialism? On what basis do you justify the US's occupation of Puerto Rico and the denial of self determination to that population?
Understand that most Puerto Ricans might not support independence, but they understand the Independence Movement's reasons for advocating independence.

If he had been a Confederate, you guys would be putting statues up to him all over the country. And he wouldn't be in jail. He'd be running a college somewhere.

No Statehood, no bailout. Confederates wore uniforms just like the Union Army, and there are rules of engagement. Comparing a PR Terrorist group (and Bill pardoned a bunch of them thinking it would help Hillary run for the Senate) to a civil war is weak as it gets.
Why do you derail stuff like this Tom? This has nothing to do with the Civil War.

I don't support blowing people up for a political cause.... do you?
That's all there really is to it Tom... Are there no people who have advocated and fought for Puerto Rican sovereignty without intentionally bombing innocent civilians?
Honor *THEM*, not the violent bombers.
I am as pro-life christian as you can get, yet if my Church decided to honor James Kopp, i'd leave for a different congregation.

So your policy on Puerto Rico is....let them fall apart financially as a result of laws passed without their consent or input...no voting rights for them, and continued colonialization.
And you wonder why many Puerto Ricans, even those that don't support terrorism or independence, sympathize with this guy?

Again, had he had been a white Confederate, you'd be putting statues up for him. Jefferson Davis ruled over Chancellorsville. Oops.

They have not changed their system and spending. When a corporation goes through bankruptcy it reorganizes, PR needs to that. They can't pay all of the government pensions. A bailout helps Wall St and Hedge funds (they own the debt) not regular PR citizens.
I live in Ohio/Kentucky it is Garfield, Harrison, Taft, Daniel Boone around here.

Firstly, PR voters did not want statehood forever but now maybe a slight majority do. This would be a first. Dominican Jamaicans would trade places with PR in a heartbeat and be on planes heading North.

What does the desires of Dominicans and Jamaicans have to do with Puerto Ricans?
Nothing.
If PR votes for statehood, should they get admitted as a state? Or are they just a colony. BTW, New Mexico has SPANISH as an official language in that state. So that's not an excuse.

First of all where does that number come from? I'm seeing figures around 20-30 Billion.
I didn't see where they agreed to any rent.
This whole fiscal crisis was created by a US Congress where PR has no vote, under Administrations where the Puerto Ricans have no vote.
