With Tom Bennett and his co-hosts continuing their profane-laced, hate-speech rhetoric, my case to have Bennett's local access contract terminated, and incited comments investigated by the authorities, have caught the attention of the mainstream media.
On Wednesday evening, I was interviewed by a reporter regarding my case against Bennett and I'll provide more information on the story once I have a better idea when the article goes to publication.
On a side note, I'd like to thank everyone of my HatCityBLOG readers as well as those on YouTube who found my site by Bennett's YouTube critics. You're activism played a significant role in holding Comcast accountable for disciplining Bennett, which was overdue by about two years.
Although Comcast has issued a warning to Bennett, given recent remarks made on the show during the last two weeks, it's painfully obvious that Bennett hasn't received the message and truly doesn't comprehend the hole he and his cohorts are digging for themselves. There isn't a law against a bigot, xenophobe, or a homophobe, but there are rules detailed by Comcast, which every television host is required to adhere to and Bennett stubbornly refuses to acknowledge.
As we move forward, we'll continue to make the case against Bennett and expose the hypocrisy of a close-minded disturbed, troubled resident who brings shame to the entire community local access system.
UPDATE: Oh, the backpedaling is laughable but the video doesn't lie.
...and lets not forget using sexually explicit language with a 15 year old female minor as well as using the airwaves to spread a "rumor" that people want to FIREBOMB THE HISPANIC CENTER.

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.
