>> this is humiliating. >> on march 19th police officers responded to the report of a fire at the veterans administration facility. you can see from the dash cam that they went as fast as they could, but when they got there, they found something they might not have expected, a truly harrowing, disturbing site, a man's body. the man was charles ingram iii, a 51-year-old whose obitry said he was a navy veteran who suffered burns over 100% of his body much the police say when they arrived at ingram's home, his wife was there. she said her husband had been

feeling as though he didn't fit in. their divorce was going to be finalized two days later and he had just lost his job. >> my understanding is that anyone who has crossed that line is in a significant amount of pain with a rational thinking is not accessible to them and the only way they see to end the pain in their life is to remove themselves from this world. >> there's a jacket out the front. he's not wearing clothes. >> there's been a lot of recent problems about the problems with the veteran administration and their facilities. he was not happy with the quality of care he was getting at the va and here's the other part of it. this was 1:00 p.m., the va's hours are monday through friday, 8:00 to 4:30 p.m. they have asked the va to be open on saturday to give veterans the time they need to get the critical care after searching their country that they deserve
12:03 am
and are entitled to. >> lighting himself on fire that is not something that should be for gotten, you think they would be open 24/7. when it's the war we expect them to fight whether it's the evening or saturday morning. let's do them the same favor when they come back here and help. >> ever since vietnam veterans have been treated badly since they've come back from wars in this country. it's a problem that no one steps up to fix. we're all too happy to go to war and we don't look after people when they come back and it's a continuing lingering problem. >> billions of dollars spent on recruiting people in the military and when they come back and try to assimilate back into the world and get jobs, what kind of jobs are you going to get? a 9 to 5 job, this place is open 8:00 to 4:00. if they're going to have limited hours, maybe they should be on the weekend and some in the evening. >> every veteran no matter where they serve and where they go has

challenges. and we'll bring you more on this story as soon as we can. >> check out this video at the houston parking lot, these two women, they start brawling, all over a parking spot. >> this is a parking spot. check out the crazy video of a 90-minute chase down hollywood boulevard on thursday. you can see the suspect do doughnuts down the boulevard in a rented ford comfortable mustang. the driver went the wrong way down wet roads and even taunted cops while doing so. shout out to friends at tmz actually cut them off and in turn the passenger seat through something at them. him and his partners hopped out and took some selfies before they gave themselves up for arrest. take a look at the picture,
12:05 am
at first glance it seems innocent enough. a high school basement party in princeton, new jersey. if you look closer you'll see why this photograph is going viral. they are playing nazi versus jew beer pong. they call it nazi pong or alcohol-ocaust beer pong. >> a star of david and a swastika. the jew side has an ann frank cup and is allowed to hide. the nazi side has the ability to auschiwtz their opponents, meaning they can have one of the jew players sit out the game. an estimated 1.1 million people were killed in auschwitz. snap chats photos disappear
12:06 am
never to see the light of day again. but one princeton high school student didn't let that happen. jamaica is a junior and saw the photo, she saved it and took it to her blog to call out the thoughtless students, some of whom are athletes and peer leaders and the story has spread like wildfire. in her blog she wrote i'm not even jewish and i'm offended. this type of behavior makes me believe that these guys would play pin the noose on the "n" word. she's alone in this battle and not even one student has spoken up or stood beside her for blowing the whistle. an immediate comment was a racial slur towards ponder herself who is black. it has since been removed. the crazy part is they report that the comment came from an ip address from the school district, meaning it came from school grounds. i reached out to the school
12:07 am
today to see if they are investigating that, they declined to comment at the current time. the district did issue a statement regarding the photo. superintendent of schools said this, i'm deeply upset that some of our students choose to engage in a drinking game with clearly anti-semitic overtones and to broadcast the behavior over social media. a lot of this decision in this room and on social media is talking all about this nazi re-gailia on the table and not about the fact that this is an underaged drinking party which is illegal. >> these are kids who should know better but i think a lot of it is, the further we get away from that holocaust, the more that memory starts to fade, this kind of ignorance is going to be more prevalent which only reinforces the fact we have to teach our kids. >> the murder of 6 million jews in the holocaust, the motto has become never forget. >> too fat to fly. this is a selfie posted by a man

while he was waiting in the las vegas airport. waiting for my second flight, i was kicked off the first flight for my weight. he was escorted going from las vegas to newark because he is overweight. i went to his house to talk with him to find out what happened. he told me he was actually in las vegas celebrating his 31st birthday when on his way home, this happened. >> the supervisor on call walked on to the plane and she was walking all the way back to me and when i saw her stop right there in my aisle, she leaned in to tell me that unfortunately the aircraft could not accommodate me and i would have to follow her and if i had any bags to grab them because i wouldn't be able to continue on that flight. >> he got to the airport early, even paying extra to board in group 2. he put up the arm rest so he could easily get out when the other passenger got up to sit

down. when that passenger walked into the aisle they stopped and went back to the flight attendant and he overheard what he said. >> he was saying to her that this is a five-hour flight and looking the way i look, he didn't want to sit next to me because he wants to be comfortable. >> reporter: he knows he's a big dude. he weighs 385 pounds. he's working on his weight. he walks 30 minutes a day. i joined him today for his walk. he told me that this experience was humiliating. >> this is humiliating. you're watching me and you, it's embarrassing. someone asked me what do you think they were thinking. i don't have to know what they were thinking. it was all in their expressions. >> i asked him are you going to take legal action against united for the way you were treated? >> i haven't decided yet. >> i reached out to get a statement from them this is what they said. to better ensure the comfort of all of our customers, united requires that customers purchase a second seat if they can't fit with both the arm rests lowered.
12:10 am
the customer had not previously purchased a second seat and there were not two seats available together for this flight. united employees appropriately rebooked the customer on a later flight that could accommodate him with two seats. but they did not make him pay for that extra seat. >> flying is a privilege, it is not a right but it's probably going to end up in court anyway. thank you very much for the story. >> working for american airlines tried to fly a plane while he was drunk. he walked through the detroit metropolitan airport smelling like liquor. he was supposed to fly a plane from detroit to philadelphia wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses he looked confused. tsa agents pulled him off the plane, arrested him gave him a breathalyzer test. he was twice the legal limit.

12:16 am
lamb whose something was white as snow. my memory is already gone. [ laughter ] this is actually called aphasia. >> those i spoke to say the robot say it's to understand how we can better understand how you can treat and care the elderly. >> you're not going to be 75 and going into a nursing home. you may be living at home with additional care. it just means there's daily assistance. so we're trying to start that conversation. give people options, know that there are options out there and educate people. >> now fortunately, friday today is the last day of this exhibit which may not be the worst thing for many of you because i am
12:17 am
really, really sore. but if you want to keep up to date with where this exhibit is heading next, just go to get more financial. >> what's your lesson from you? >> people are having a hard time as you get older and you might want to be courteous to them. >> my question to the row both makers is how do they know what it feels like to be old. >> the engineers who helped me get into the suit say they had to wear it for hours on end as they tested what worked and what didn't. >> set me free and sit down. can i sit down? >> i'm a big giants fan, i love o-dell beckham junior. i heard you tracked down a cousin of his. >> the giants were there yesterday. >> one statements to the doubters out there, to the haters who say you can't do it, what you got to say. i'm here now, my hard work has

12:19 am
that. >> here's the thing. teron did not play college football. but that talent, watch his 40, watch his broad jump, 11 feet. it's nearly off the charts. and football is a game of athleticism, yes. but it's also a violent, bone crushing game of collision. >> we need to see what's going to happen when our linebacker comes up and is about to hit him or you have the defensive end come up and hit him from the side or take him on the block and make some reads. that's what it's about. it's the rules and reaction. that's it. >> tell people now i've been itching to be here. i like the school contact. i'm not scared to be hit. i look forward to getting hit. just i'm compared to the person so i'm looking for it. >> my guess, somebody is going to take a flyer.
