Man gets two years probation for confronting foreigner with a Puerto Rican shirt on

[Skylar]

So the question is why is ripping off MAGA hats and beating the shit outta Trump supporters ok with libtards? Doyathink?

And who, pray tell, says that's okay?

 

[WillowTree]

And they don’t pay federal incomes taxes? Why?

Because Puerto Rico is a territory and congress has determined that residents of Puerto Rico don't pay federal income taxes...instead paying taxes to the Puerto Rico territorial government instead.

If you don't like it, talk to Congress.

It has nothing to do with their status as US Citizens. If you moved to Puerto Rico, you wouldn't pay federal income tax either.

If they want to be US citizens they need to start paying income tax. Til then...........they are a drain.

Nope. None of that is a requirement.

And there are plenty of places in the US where the state takes more federal money than they give in income taxes.

Arizona, Mississippi, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Montana.......the whos-who of red states. All 'drains' by your standards.

Are they not 'US Citizens'? Or is your argument a disjointed, incoherent mess?

Do the citizens of those states pay federal income tax? Yes. Does Puerto Rican citizens? No. Done

Laughing....is US citizenship predicated on the payment of federal income taxes? No.

Done.

Anymore meaningless pseudo-legal nonsense you want to offer us?

Yes! I have your message . Certain classes of democrats think paying taxes is silly. They want the other guy to pay for them. Typical leeches!

Who says that is okay, you pathetic, lying whiner?

 

[Godboy]

Americans get a vote, therefore they arent Americans.

The USC says otherwise.

§1402. Persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899
All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899, and prior to January 13, 1941, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, residing on January 13, 1941, in Puerto Rico or other territory over which the United States exercises rights of sovereignty and not citizens of the United States under any other Act, are declared to be citizens of the United States as of January 13, 1941. All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after January 13, 1941, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are citizens of the United States at birth.

(June 27, 1952, ch. 477, title III, ch. 1, §302, 66 Stat. 236 .)

They're Americans. They may not be your preferred color for Americans. But they're American none the less.

Nope, they dont get to vote in our elections. Thats because they arent Americans.

Says you. US law says otherwise.

§1402. Persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899
All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899, and prior to January 13, 1941, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, residing on January 13, 1941, in Puerto Rico or other territory over which the United States exercises rights of sovereignty and not citizens of the United States under any other Act, are declared to be citizens of the United States as of January 13, 1941. All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after January 13, 1941, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are citizens of the United States at birth.

(June 27, 1952, ch. 477, title III, ch. 1, §302, 66 Stat. 236 .)

Any contest beween you vs. the USC on who is a US citizen has the same winner each time:

Not you.

You need to do some reading...

Puerto Rican citizenship - Wikipedia

Your own source says over and over that Puerto Ricans are US citizens.

Maybe you wanna read what you're linking to?

In 1997...

The Puerto Rico Supreme Court decision affirmed that persons born in Puerto Rico and persons subject to their jurisdiction are citizens of Puerto Rico under the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Constitution.

 

[Skylar]

Look at this parade of morons...what in the world...

Facts? Who needs 'em?

These are conservatives. They've been trained to believe that their emotions are facts. So what relevance would the actual law have for them?

They 'feel' otherwise. And to them, emotions are reality.

Alas, the actual law isn't quite so friendly to their feelings:

§1402. Persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899
All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899, and prior to January 13, 1941, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, residing on January 13, 1941, in Puerto Rico or other territory over which the United States exercises rights of sovereignty and not citizens of the United States under any other Act, are declared to be citizens of the United States as of January 13, 1941.

Libtards do. Have you ever heard a libtard speak out against it?

 

[Jitss617]

Sorry we the people Don’t consider them American citizens they’re not a state they don’t speak English they have nothing in common with me and they need to be cut off which will happen soon

You're not 'the people'. You're nobody.

Meanwhile, the ACTUAL law is crystal clear:

§1402. Persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899
All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899, and prior to January 13, 1941, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, residing on January 13, 1941, in Puerto Rico or other territory over which the United States exercises rights of sovereignty and not citizens of the United States under any other Act, are declared to be citizens of the United States as of January 13, 1941. All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after January 13, 1941, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are citizens of the United States at birth.

(June 27, 1952, ch. 477, title III, ch. 1, §302, 66 Stat. 236 .)

And you lose again.

We the people the native Americans don’t consider them American sorry maybe the bureaucrats do but we don’t

 

[WillowTree]

How many times have the Puerto Rican’s voted against becoming a state? Afraid they might have to pay their way?

Puerto Ricans ARE Puerto Rican citizens. And US citizens.

Just like a citizen of Texas is a citizen of the state in which they recede AND a US citizen.

Do you not get how this works?

 

[francoHFW]

ahhh wtf happen to free speech!?
How do you get jail time for calling out a foreigner for wearing another flag!?

We spent so much money on welfare to Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans
We should be allowed to talk

Man gets probation for confronting woman over Puerto Rican flag T-shirt

actually you haven't spent much money on Puerto Rico. Trump's always talking about how he spent 92 billion down there, but only 12 million has actually been spent. Your are wrong as always. Thanks GOP.

 

[Skylar]

How many times have the Puerto Rican’s voted against becoming a state? Afraid they might have to pay their way?

Actually, they voted to become a State. By 97% to 3%.

The ball in in Congress' court.

Yes, that is how territories generally work. Welcome to government 101....

You're confused. The law in question doesn't make a single mention of 'native Americans'. It cites those in Puerto Rico:

§1402. Persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899
All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899, and prior to January 13, 1941, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, residing on January 13, 1941, in Puerto Rico or other territory over which the United States exercises rights of sovereignty and not citizens of the United States under any other Act, are declared to be citizens of the United States as of January 13, 1941. All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after January 13, 1941, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are citizens of the United States at birth.

(June 27, 1952, ch. 477, title III, ch. 1, §302, 66 Stat. 236 .)

Try again. This time reading for comprehension.

 

[Old Man Grumbles]

Let me seed if I have this right - One is only a US citizen if they reside in a US state? Right so far? Then any US citizen outside of the 50 US states are also not citizens?

Citing "we the people" - what all 2 or 3 of you?

Shall we continue the discussion using the rest of the US Territories - Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the North Mariana Islands. Seeing as how you have lost the fight about Puerto Rico. Maybe you'll do better with these.

How many times have they voted against statehood was the question? Geez you are dense.

If they were US citizens, they could vote in our elections. How many times do i need to make this obvious point?

Are you again confused about how this works?
