I saw him on MSNBC and local news here in L.A. He was also making rounds on CNN, Reuters and NBC, CBS, ABC and/or their affiliates.

On Edit: When I say "this" I mean his arrest and story, not this particular video.

Btw Mr. Retes looks like a really nice guy. What's happening to him is a horror story. 🙁
