I consider myself a local gonzo type journalist. This blog is in its eighteenth year, and during that time I have immersed myself in numerous issues and have irritated numerous members of the local establishment. Most of these so called accomplishments are self-proclaimed here on the blog, because the local institutions I've offended include the Morning Call.
I am also my staff photographer. Shown above, Eddie Aviles is being restrained by MsPhoebe Harris, Jessica Lee Ortiz, and Chief Charles Roca. Although I don't recall what irritated Eddie that evening, he has been quite vocal recently. I also won't go into the current issues...Those disclosures are better left to him.
However, as a gonzo I follow the stories, and came across his self-proclaimed involvement in the water crisis issue after the hurricane in Puerto Rico. In a fine documentary on water, especially in Flint, Michigan, Aviles is heralded for his activism in Puerto Rico.
I have received some anonymous comments concerning actions and allegations about Eddie Aviles, and also made by him about others. I chose not to go down that road in my post, and will not host such comments, unless submitted by the involved people themselves.
