I think it's a funny and it was handled fine by Ms. Henderson and the police. Ms. Henderson made her statement, succeeded in annoying her neighbor (and others) further, and took the lights down on LE request.
Imo, there's a valid case for violation of free expression to be made, but why make it here? Done deal, move on.
The ACLU often exploits insignificant events to make a broader point and garner attention for their organization. They frequently irritate me, but I'm glad they exist. There are legitimate cases where an individual or group has its rights infringed upon and the ACLU can help to stop or minimize the infringement/prejudice - that outweighs the irritation, for me.
