As outspoken liberals, the Caputos normally find ourselves on the same side of an issue with the ACLU. As a business owner in this neighborhood for over 20 years and a resident walking to work in this neighborhood for over a decade, I feel compelled to speak up.
The ACLU’s opposition to Operation Rio Grande is off base. While I cannot speak to whether the operation has an imbalance, something had to be done. What was transpiring here in our neighborhood was a paradigm shift from a mere nuisance to utter lawlessness.
Additionally, it was more than simply increased risk of being caught in the crossfire of the usual participants.
