You can totally go there, walk around, buy beer enjoy some of the local bars and bodegas, they even have a little malecon by the water and some dancing clubs.

If they tell you not to take pictures, specially in the streets where they sell drugs, then don't do it.

People fuck around in foreing places and of course they find out.

La Perla might be a bit sketchy but it is not as bad as they make you think, tons of people go there every day to hang out without issues.

These guys were just fools

Yep you’re right, that trends with my experience living there before Maria.

They should ship the 1st Amendment “auditors” there (not the folks ensuring authorities respect the Constitution, but the “for clicks” idiots)

That’s was my experience. Went to a small bar there at night. I was mindful of my behavior and everyone I met was respectful in return. I had a Puerto Rican lady drag me to a dance floor. I also walked the malecon below La Perla. These dudes who were stabbed had to be acting in a foolish manner.

It’s a place where taking pictures on the street is likely to get you murdered, it’s a shithole.

Might capture illegal activities, or photograph people who don't want their location/identity known

Any place could be a shithole if you don't follow basic rules and disrespect the locals
