Comments on: Two Wrongs Don’t Make It Right http://www.arivaca-newspaper.com/2008/05/two-wrongs-don%e2%80%99t-make-it-right/ Thu, 13 Oct 2011 13:03:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mark Strong http://www.arivaca-newspaper.com/2008/05/two-wrongs-don%e2%80%99t-make-it-right/comment-page-1/#comment-423 Mark Strong Thu, 28 May 2009 22:07:52 +0000 http://www.arivaca-newspaper.com/2008/05/two-wrongs-don%e2%80%99t-make-it-right/#comment-423 The writer of this article sure makes it sound like Big Brother is going to do what they want regardless of community opinion and that they approached the table with a stacked deck. But that is just one man’s opinion. The agent that is named in the article, Fitzpatrick, I have met several times and he has always seemed to be a straightforward person. He has always given me the impression of an honest and uncomplicated man who was hard at work doing his job. “Spy Cameras”, wow that term gives those towers the character of being able to see down into your very soul, doesn’t it? Not the realistic view of a couple of day/ night and thermal type cameras that have their own limits and that are pointed south to the open areas of the border where we know that illegal aliens and drug smugglers are crossing. No, this writer has his own agenda here and it is not an agenda that will better protect our community. Not an agenda that will encourage the public safety of our area that will bring sustained growth and revenue which in turn would allow us to better our community. No this writer likes things just the way they are in Arivaca. The reality is that things never stay the same. They either get better or worse. Which do we perceive will happen to our community with all the activity that Mexico is experiencing to our south? The Border Patrol deserves our support, not our distain. -Mark The writer of this article sure makes it sound like Big Brother is going to do what they want regardless of community opinion and that they approached the table with a stacked deck.
