I as a Puerto Rican don't feel offended by them wanting to protect their Property if People were acting up and destroying others or my Property I would do the same. What I do feel offended is by some of the comments being made here. Just because some of the People at the Parade are acting rowdy does not mean everyone as a whole is trash. Puerto Ricans try to make the best out of their lives just as the rest of you meaning going to College, Working and maintaining a safe and steady home and it's just very sad to hear that People can make such judgments calls basing it on some bad apples. It’s very ignorant, idiotic and immature. It makes you just as bad and it’s very sad for you to make such assumptions.

I have respect for my race as puerto rican american. But what I hate is when some of them act out of control. And other puerto ricans have to pay for their mistakes. If you are americans act like americans. And stop all of this nonsense. Remember it is a parade and it is a time to show respect for each other. I was born and race in chicago. But I never disrespect anyone around me. That is way I do not go to any of the puerto rican parades. No one owns you anything!

Love NYC for all its parades. I go to all. St Pats, Easter, Puerto Rican Parade, and anything else that comes along. If you can't deal with crowds, subways and Parades or traffic.....You really should not be in NYC.

Boarding up a $MM apartment is racism?!?! I see... Before some of you cry racism go out to Dover-Rico take a piss on a random P.O.S car 'pimped-out' with the latest in decals, neon lights, shiny exhaust, and a spoiler that looks like it came off an experiment at Boeing. As you are being stabbed, shot, be sure to take a count of the number of people crying "racism".

I can't think of another parade that attracts so many thugs, skanks, hoods, etc. I am sure it's not cultural but damn if they don't have more than their fair share of losers.

PR Day is simply a day for criminal mischief. Flocks of PR running down the street vandalizing everything in sight. Caravan of flag draped cars jam the streets, as they honk their horn like there’s no tomorrow. I have nothing against pride in one’s nationality, but this is simply stupidity, and total lack of disregard for others. Of all the parades that take place in NYC, PR day is the worst.

PR day parade is the worst day in NYC. They're like animals pissing on everything & deficating on the street. They stink.

Two memorable images from previous PR parades: (1) a group of parade revelers with a large picnic cooler trying to take it into the Metropolitan Art Museum. (Who knows what they had in mind--use your imagination.)

(2) Parade celebrants with their portable barbecues with flames shooting out in front of 5th Ave. co-ops. (Probably not what the residents had in mind when they plunked down their $20+ million for an uber-exclusive residence.)

My friend lives b/w 5 and madison along the route. She says this is the only parade day where her doorway gets soaked in urine. She even caught some people peeing on it once and asked them to please do that elsewhere and they laughed and got their friends to pee on it too, waving their doodads around. I don't know if they were puerto rican, but without fail on only that parade day her apt door gets peed all over.

Manny, you're all caps emphasis would have been more compelling if you spelled privilege correctly.

Personally I do not think racism is involved here.

The problem is idiots in mass.

The past history of the PR Day parade justifies peoples, reaction.

I would feel the same way if it were Germans, Irish, Penguin, Asian, Italian, Giraffe, Croatian, etc...

Lets face it all parades are all a pain in the ass in some way.

The PR day parade just has a history of problems, with people behaving badly. (as do other parades)

Personally I feel the Puerto Rican community should view the negativity to the parade as a reason to step up and show that it can be done WITHOUT property damage, fights, sexual assaults...

But no... just cry Racism instead of addressing the real problem that exists which is immature behavior and a disregard for property and people (the wilding bullshit)

Having a parade is not a RIGHT it is a PRIVALIGE a community must EARN and keep earning that privilege by it's behavior.

In other words stop your bitching and police your own. Or loose the right to a parade.

Tired of bullshit in an overly PC world.

rog - there are actually quite a few businesses along the parade route which begins at 44th & 5th and proceeds north to 86th St.

Earl - what do driving skills (or the lack thereof) have to do with the PR parade?

there must be a blizzard in hell right now because for once I agree with Nola.

Asians run amok on a daily basis simply with their lack of driving skills.

As an asian, I look forward to running amok at every parade I can and having it blamed on another race.
