For some it's always the victim's fault.

Yeah, of course. :tired:

And yes, I was expecting such a post (almost immediately)... :tired:

they were attacked by some delinquents in Puerto Plata .. they were soft targets in a very depressed city ..something must be done with Puerto plata so that it is safe for Dominicans and tourists alike

What difference does it make if they were Dominicans or Haitians?

Agreed. I like walking down the malecon during the.day. gets me away from my wife and the family. I've never had a problem. There has to be some sort of trigger ( flashin cash, drugs, or something else) that caused this. I just can't believe that it was a random robbery. I sit in the kiosks drinking presidentes and watching the wind surfers. Never been bothered.

yeah, i have never been bothered either but i don't look like a tourist. maybe they did. and it was a reason enough to jump at them?

I quoted your whole statement. Sorry if you took offense. None Intended.

So let me repeat/ rephrase my question: What difference does it make whether the muggers were Dominican, Haitian, "or
another"? The Victims still lost their money/possessions.

just once i would like to see a an article about a bunch of gringos who robbed someone in an attack like that. and yes, i know there are plenty of gringo hustlers here but they do not tend to jump someone walking on the malecon to steal their wallet.

Of course the news should post the most detailed description of the criminals possible. There must be some cameras on this street, is it not the most popular street in the city? Catch these animals, a group of attackers should be easy to identify by possible witnesses.

Its not their fault they were robbed, even if they had 100 bills hanging out of their pockets. But of course inquiring minds want to know why the brazen daytime attack on four people.
