as a result of the shooting the stadium is just a few blocks away from navy yard the team sport of their patriotic uniforms and hats of navy hats the number ends meanwhile federal investigators and local law enforcement are trying to piece together the events that led up to the shooting rampage in building one thousand seven namely who the shooter was and how he was able to enter a secure facility and opened fire for latest information coming out about the shooter we turn now to our tease sam sax. behind me are the gates to the navy yard here in washington d.c. you see there's still a police presence here and a few cars have come and gone to the facility it is open but only to essential personnel this guy continues his investigation into the mass shooting that claimed the lives of thirteen people we obviously have had a terrific tragedy. here at the navy yard in the immediate area. the twenty am monday morning police respond to an active shooter at the washington navy

yard where this is described the carnage inside when i was standing in the alleyway a person came up to talk to me to say what he based asking what was going on in my building i said i don't know what's going on he goes well i heard there's a shooter in your belly and i said well that's news to me and that was about the extent of our conversation and i heard two shots and he got hit and generally people seem to be you know it's not state of shock but they didn't understand what was going on like myself but it wasn't like the you know the chaotic war of the world kind of thing you know it was just the general shock what to do next well i live nine eleven so i knew this is that i thought immediately nine eleven i knew was going to be that and. and that was confirmed police now believe thirty four year old aaron alexis who was killed at the scene was the single in sole person responsible for the shooting here's what we know about him he's former navy honorably discharged in two thousand and eleven on force an official said he had

been receiving mental health treatment from the veterans administration since august reportedly suffering from paranoia and hearing voices in his head. he had previous run ins with the law something from gun incidents though he was never charged he had legitimate access to the navy yard including a valid key card police say alexis had recently begun work at the navy yard for a sub contracting company named the experts it's reported that he shot his way into the building using a shock and he purchased legally just a week ago in virginia once there he allegedly went to the fourth floor and shot down into the atrium blow when it was all over thirteen people were dead including the suspected gunman who was killed in a firefight with police a visual was held last night for the victims whose ages range from forty six to seventy three years old all were civilians or contractors no active duty military personnel were killed police still don't have a motive and survivors now try to cope i have no great wisdom about what to do in

the face of evil for you i mean i'm i've told other people i'm i'm a religious person i draw comfort from my religion but i don't i don't i don't think i have any special wisdom for you on that i just. go home and try and process and meanwhile the nation's capital washington d.c. and moves on this afternoon the washington nationals played a baseball game just down the street i think was canceled yesterday after the shooting but questions will continue to persist about how and why something like this happens to many americans have security clearance that shouldn't is it too easy for the mentally ill to buy guns and what will the united states do to confront yet another mass shooting in washington same sex are to. just a few miles away from where that shooting took place the senate judiciary committee postponed a hearing set for this morning on the contentious stand your ground law it's the

law the george zimmerman used as a legal defense after shooting and killing seventeen year old trayvon martin trayvon mother was expect. to testify at that hearing along with the parents of another unarmed black teenager who was also shot and killed recently in florida this is a picture of jordan davis a seventeen year old boy who was shot to death last november while sitting in the back of a friend's car at a gas station and this is a picture of a man who shot him forty six year old michael david done according to police reports dunn got into a verbal altercation with three boys who were sitting in the car next to him at a gas station after he told them to turn down their music and then in the middle of the altar cation dunn pulled out his gun and fired a number of rounds into the car killing davis dunn is now claiming that he was standing his ground because he believed he was in danger jordan davis' father ron join me earlier along with his attorney john phillips ron walk me through the

events of that night take a look. he was enjoying thanksgiving you know and the next day after thanksgiving with black friday which is the twenty third of november and decided to go out with his friends and they went to the mall and came back and it was still really was about seven thirty in the evening and here it is train stopped at a convenience store gas station in a one person when we get something and they were blasting their music and kind of plan a musical hour like teenagers do you know he's a seventeen year old and he was in the back seat in the passenger side and his best friend next to him and a guy drove up michael dunn and brought out his window and beef and told his girl from before she got the car i hate that music you know and so he kind of profile them you know. and so he told them to cut down below after the government in the store and of course like teenagers i mean if you're not their parent they're not

really to listen to you and so. they didn't turn it down and he got into a verbal altercation with my son and my son never got out of the car you know here the window half way down in michael dunn he was in his car and argument ensued verbal a and michael dunn backed off a little bit close the road down as rolled up his window in the. for about a minute or so when the other kid came back in the car from the store he decided that he was going or michael dunn was going to roll down the window again and say you know are you talking to me you guys are still talking to me and i have a concealed weapon in his car and started shooting at the current shooting at my son and he shot my son twice and as the car was pulling away trying to get away from him he was continuing to shoot at the car with these children seventeen year old children in the car. pool disappear yards away he still shot two more bullets

in the back of the car trying to kill these kids which to me as a father is a can't believe in our society today that someone. is trying to kill children but you know i see things that happen on the news and sometimes you know know if it's going to hit home or not but it has hit home for me because it has torn jordan from me and his mother and when you have a teenager someone at home who's missing could break your heart and it really just ruined your life so i'm standing up for jordan i'm standing my ground for jordan his mother standing her ground for june. do you think that your son's skin color played a role i did at first i didn't but then when there were tapes that were released from the interviews from his girl from michael dunn's girlfriend she said that he said when he drove up i hate that thug music why is my son's music considered thug music you know because you like a certain kind of music a new

a different skin color whatever you know and i keep telling people you know we're so focus here in america at least on skin color you know i tell people said ninety nine percent of your d.n.a. is the same skin color and hair texture is only one percent of your d.n.a. why do we focus so much on that one percent very good question john i want to bring you into this conversation we are hearing so many similarities between. in this case in the case of trayvon martin i mean the area of the color of the stand that age of the boys things like that do you think it's a fair comparison to make you know they both have similar elements and they're both both george zimmerman and michael dunn were empowered by the stand your ground law and are going to use the stand your ground law to try to to use it as a get out of jail free card now that said there were some encounters between trayvon and zimmerman where they actually were there was a fight of some sort that we don't know what happened you know in jordan situation

he was just sitting in a car listening to loud music and where zimmerman said he felt for his felt was feared for his life. jordan the most significant thing is michael dunn's last words before he fired according to all the witnesses not you're going to not threaten my life like that not that you're going to point a gun at me or anything like that it was you're not going to talk to me like that you're not going to talk to me like that and then he fired ultimately ten shots not of which pierced the vehicle. so there is that there is a bit of a difference there in that that this was an argument this this this was words that led to two deadly violence and the rolling stone article you said quote in florida courts don't need to be right you just need to believe that you are how does that play into this case and specific and also the stand your ground law in general stand your ground since two thousand and five when it was implemented and spread like a cancer throughout the country has taken the role of the jury to judge the facts

and look at both sides and look at evidence and try to figure it out and say no we don't need to do that let's just find legal gun owners in a legal place and let's look at them and what their situation is and let's let's examine their brains and try to determine whether they thought they were in fear for their life if they were that's all they have to prove not not that the situations warranted killing. but that they believe that they were warranted to kill and that's that's absolutely contrary to the american jurisprudence system and it's contrary to where we should be as a civilized society run your son is going to be portrayed in the media as a boy who was sitting in the back of a car listening to loud music but that's not necessarily a correct narrative who was your son what do you want the people that are watching this to know about him i want them to know that he was. a good family member there he was a high schooler in high school is when you go to high school to have fun useful to

learn but you have fun while you learn. everybody in that high school and samuelson high school they were said by their. mentor some of the students up there because the shaken because of the fact that somebody would just fire onto somebody that looks like them some other plays like them somebody that's a teenager and society our kids didn't do all realize how our society has turned you know as we know what happened today at the naval yard you know society has turned where when you're angry for whatever reason you get your girl and you store with violence toward people that are innocent i want to know people to know their joy was an innocent bystander you know he was an innocent young man that this guy took out his aggression on and the worst thing about it is that when i stood in front of michael dunn in the courtroom he has no remorse whatsoever he looked at me

with such distain that it was palpable film myself coming toward him. my lawyer jerk he grabbed my arm because i don't know why you know it's something overcame me because of the fact there i couldn't believe that somebody would say mr do some sorry for killing for murdering your son and in society right now the humanity is gone and there is supposed to be that hearing coming up on obviously you've got a long way to go stolen in your trial for your son i appreciate you coming in and sharing your story with us ron davis saying it's the father of jordan davis and john phillips is the davis family attorney thank you sometimes thank you it was the grassroots movement that aimed to change the political dialogue of the country now to buy wall street movement was supposed to represent the ninety nine percent force the hand of america's financial institution. and and hold the bankers and lawmakers accountable for their actions two years later the tents are down the leaderless

movement is no longer a visible in city parks and still some of the people who participated in the protests are paving the way for systematic change artie's honest takes a look at where the movement stands two years later. two years ago on september seventeenth a movement changing national dialogue was born in the us. for many opening a new chapter in american history the awakening of a collective consciousness about. staggering economic inequality the rise of a corporate state. the loss of a genuine democracy and the attempt by the part of a large numbers of people to do something about it fast forward to two years later the protesters are out again. on the year anniversary occupy wall street is back on the streets of manhattan to demand an end

to wealth inequality as well as accountability from wall street it's a birthday party and it's. our second annual. awareness of what is wrong with this country day under heavy police presence many of the familiar faces return to the place where it all started zuccotti park it was here that for two months two years ago protesters spent days and nights to get their message across before being evicted by the n.y.p.d. it was just an amazing beautiful moment that no one expected it was brought down by the d.h. as the n.y.p.d. brutally just taken out and destroyed since the nighttime raid on zuccotti park in november of twenty eleven occupy no longer has a permanent physical presence in new york though it gathers on occasion to bring attention to issues still plaguing the u.s. . the ideology has been turned over right the dominant assumptions of. free market capitalism that have incubated in the american cultural sphere and

political sphere and legal sphere and economic sphere for the last you know half a century to special the last thirty years those are going to take a long time to reverse and even a longer time if they're not highlighted and that's exactly what occupy helped achieve catapulting the idea of the one. percent into the national conversation and giving birth to widespread debate about the changes that need to come and a pepper sprayed by the n.y.p.d. at the highlight of the movement says the number of protesters has dwindled largely due to the police violence they faced. a lot more people saw that police brutality is a real issue facing this country despite the crackdowns activists have kept working branches of occupy such as strike jets and occupy sandy with thousands continuing to struggle a year after the devastating hurricane still working around the clock we're talking about thousands of mean there's. there was a seventy five hundred displaced as of the last figure we got which is a few months ago we have a very complicated mess in all the affected areas plenty of other active projects

that came out of occupy are up and running to people who are doing work against the pipeline in new york there are people who are still doing just released a banking booklet about how to understand the banking crisis for alternative banking there are so many different groups that still exist but. if you expected the passion of the movement to keep afloat as long as it has an activist say much more should be expected something's going to come it may not be called occupied may not look like occupy and yet its genesis will come back to this park and what happened here two years ago that. you. are. but two years later of the question remains what good actually came out of the movement the banks are still bigger than ever the penalty that they have to pay an hour to make up for their risky behavior was really just the slap on

a wrist rather than a real punishment as an example j.p. morgan chase agreed to pay eight hundred million dollars in fees for a multi billion dollar trading loss case no one has the london whale and her nearly and sounds like a lot to. you and me but that's really just chomped change for this bank one positive thing did happen though j.p. morgan will acknowledge that it should have caught the problem faster the settlement which reflects a somewhat tougher line now being taken by the f.c.c. is seeking admissions from defendants also will require the banks to admit that it's lax controls allowed traders and a unit in london to build the risky position and cover up their losses so they're admitting guilt but is this the kind of punishment the occupy wall street movement was looking for are occupy protesters satisfied with the results of the movement i was joined earlier by occupy activist sam jeweler and ilana say in the our new york

studio in our new york studio we had mike perlman mike is also the director of the film the ninety nine percent occupy everywhere and i started off by asking sam to look back and characterize the movement two years after it began. people don't see eye to eye in the headlines as much the way they did before and kind of assume that it has gone away or something but. i think for us and for a lot of people who are involved i mean really connected us with each other like before it started i think a lot of us were kind of felt alone in our politics and alone in our frustration around the country and occupy brought us together in a real way very deep way it kind of radicalized us it showed us that like you know we have legitimate critics that a lot of the country identifies with and that sort of this is going to take a lot of civil disobedience and a lot of outrage to start to change things and it's really connected us and since then a lot of us have worked together on a lot of labor related things a lot of you know anti-war. you know all kinds of issues have been reenergized i

think it's brought new teeth to the left that were really needed and mike you directed a documentary about the occupy movement what kind of narrative did that documentary mix that up. yeah it was really important when i went down to zuccotti park and spent time and then began listening and then joining different groups and helping organize actions that i saw and heard a lot of people speaking very intelligently and passionately about our critical issues of our day and offering solutions but i was in the seeing that narrative being told in the press and in the mainstream media and that's why we were compelled to make this film we were making the documentary films for more than a decade now and the common thread has been a struggle for freedom and justice told through emotional stories and i thought that through occupy that would be a great way to do it so what we found was an umbrella issue money out of politics

that corrupts our system where the state is literally oftentimes controlled by corporations who are instrumental in passing legislation for their benefit at the expense of the rest of us so if we're able to remove that money from politics then we can address the critical issues of our time fair taxation in fair elections and fair trade and so that's the umbrella in which we develop the film and we're very happy to have jeffrey sachs in the film a very well known economist he connects the dots in a very concrete way and we were just amazed to find out that with fair taxation simply the same taxes being paid by the wealthy and the corporations that the middle class are paying we could raise more than five hundred billion dollars a year which would be more than enough money for pre school through college education for free for all americans we could rebuild an infrastructure with a green grid we can create millions of good air here it can jobs you know so that's the type of thing that we found out and we wanted to show in the film

a lot of what work is still going on today i mean obviously the tents are down but things are still happening right yes most definitely i mean we have like a lot of occupiers who you know opened up the we fairly cleaver student that housing prices. activists discovering different ways in which we can mobilize you know the left or the radical are just people who are discontent with the way the system is now and so occupy was a way in which. there was only good infrastructure necessarily built so there was a lot of creativity being you know brought up by people who are older people who are younger you know families you know sometimes homeless people as well just coming together underneath trying to make the world a better place and being the change that you want to see you know so you know we have like all of these types of people who just want a better world coming together and bouncing off ideas off of each other and you have a lot of leftist groups whether it be unions whether it be other you know radical

groups that have been using different. by occupy so it's really just held three region arise the left and helped the morale of activists across the across the country across the world because suddenly now we're connected and there's a community there for once when we felt very alone so we can't help when we talk about the occupy movement two years later to ask what the tangible results are are there any tangible result i mean as i was mentioning the banks are still huge disparity between the rich and the poorest still massive am growing so what tangible results are there there are these are huge problems that are going to take a long time to rectify. you know we've really i think we've really empowered the left and connected the left and we personally know many people who struggled with mcpherson square gone on to do were organizing here in d.c. new york and chicago and so on along with those people have come those tactics of

civil disobedience and really making big demands and you know bringing some anger and some well i mean just the idea that you know what ninety nine percent means or what the one percent means that's like a huge improvement in the for instance when mitt romney the full forty forty seven percent came came about people automatically knew what he was talking about it resonated with them from like ninety nine percent to forty seven percent what does that mean for the country you know and. there is a lot of people you know i'm i'm not like the biggest obama fan by far but you know there is i think that. groups like occupy brought a things like the robin hood tax exciter. which i think the democrats even though i think you know they have their issues definitely. utilize their messaging sure you know to appeal to to the masses because i think that we brought

up some really interesting important issues resonates with the country and mike we have just about a minute left but i have to ask you from your experience is there any regrets anything that you would change or make different when you have accepted money or had a leader or maybe done it at a different time because obviously timing played a huge part in this considering the fact that happen right before winter when it got really cold so what do you think. i think that the movement itself has many legs and is operating in many different facets that maybe doesn't get front page news simply because there's not an active confrontation and the police are clamping down on peaceful protesters but the movement continues in the ways that the panels here have discussed today and i'm happy ilana spoke about the robin hood tax because that's a huge coalition of more than two hundred organizations representing more than two hundred million people around the world all agreeing that we have to have a tiny little financial transaction tax that will actually help stabilize the

markets and raise hundreds of billions of dollars and put people before profit that was my problem and director of the film the ninety nine percent occupy everywhere from our new york studio and occupy activist sam jeweler and along a holiday in our d.c. studio. well eighteenth he is now using a new alert system that warns users who have been a huge buy the movie in our corning industry of copyright infringement to discontinue their alleged illegal activity that's according to the internet site torrent freak the alerts the website posted reads quote we've received a notice from the movie studio record company television studio or other company that your internet account was used in connection with possible in french. it of their copyright protected materials to determine who will get the letter eighteen and t. has been allegedly using the copyright alert system which is designed to notify phone companies when that finals may have been shared illegally on peer to peer networks through their internet accounts torrent freak reports that repeat
