Posted by: Reggi_Nytrid Sat, Apr 28 2007 I have to admit that I'm surprised by the levels of hatred and racism displayed on these boards. I thought people in CT were a little bit more enlightened than that. Also, who is this boredwithbs character? Is he nuts or what? And what kind of a name is aidsfromatoiletseat? I find that very offensive. Danbury must be full of racists and jerks if for this forum to be so vile. I'm almost sorry I logged on.
Posted by: StopHatinOthers Sat, Apr 28 2007 Reggi - You're absolutely right. This site has become a hangout for some seriously disturbed individuals. Danbury wasn't always the shining example of intolerance and hatred that it has become. I encourage you to vote for a change in our civic discourse by replacing the current leadership in city hall.
For those who are in agreement with me, don't email me but instead, direct your criticism to the News-Times and tell them to use moderation tools in the comment section to get rid of the feature all toghter and go back to the old forums format. The nonsense posted on the comments by the likes of such morons as voiceofreason, AMERICA_FIRST, and aidsfromatoiletseat are typical of the mindset of the anti-immigrant movement in the area. Behind the cloak of "we're not against immigrants, just illegal immigration," these individuals express nothing but vile nd disgusting rhetoric from the comfort of anonymity and a keyboard.
After the outrage from immigrant community over the newspaper's slow response to remove several disturbing comments that were published unfiltered over-the-top comments in the comments section of the News-Times article on the death of Vanderli Augusto Rodrigues, and cherry-picking DUI stories on their website, it's becoming clear that the newspaper should take a serious look at the way they handle their online content. Make sure they get the message.

UPDATE: Holy sh*t, how did I miss that crazy username!?! What a bad example to use for people who are criticizing the newspaper...maybe I should use a mirror when reading usernames from the News-Times. In any regards, I was notified by the online editor, Elizabeth Putman, that offending users are being banned (note: these comments were grabbed from the NT site on 4/28).
If readers are still noticing offending comments, please continue to email me and we'll send out the alert on this site. Remember, this can be avoided by doing one of two things: 1.) turn on the moderation feature or 2.) scrap the entire comments section as part of the article altogether.

04.25.22 (RADIO): WSHU Latino group call on Connecticut lawmakers to open a Danbury charter school
06.03.22 (OP-ED): KUSHNER: "Career Academy ‘a great deal for Danbury"
On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
