begin with m. - mass. - mass. say it has a lot of mass, say it has a lot of, begin with... - i. - i. so this thing has two things: weight, it also has mass. you measure mass by how hard it is to change. you measure weight by how heavy it is. see this is quite heavy here, but if i take this on the moon, it's not so heavy. you know why? how heavy had to do with gravity and the mass. on the moon, there's less gravity so it'll be easier to lift. and if i took it to a part of the universe where all the gravities cancel out, put it on a bathroom scale, what would it have? no weight at all, but it still has stuff. it still has mass. if you were in some orbiting space vehicle where the gravity is like-- seems nonexistent and this thing came by like this and it hit your head, boom, it's gonna hurt. you know why it's gonna hurt? because a body in motion tends to... stay in motion. you got a bunch of groceries in your hand in a bag. and the bag is very, very heavy or very, very massive. and you take a hand and you bump into

right now he's here, he's participating in the mass. it will be about a two hour mass afterwards.e'll meet and have lunch with five families and heading to a camp where he'll meet with 200 children before heading to jerusalem. >> before he left, you did say he was bringing a message of hope and peace to the middle east. actions speak louder than words. just talk to us through the security situation there, around the pope. no doubt this is a volatile area. what is the security situation like there? >> absolutely. security is a big concern, because this pope it not driving around in a fully armoured vehicle. it has its sides open. the pope wanted to make sure he could wave to the crowds. something that he wants in the palestine territories and jirz elliot rodgers. we have seen thousands of security forces making sure that they protect the pope, and from what we heard from the israelis, they have thousands of security forces preparing to protect his visit too. it's a concern for the israelis because leading up to the pope's visit there has been many ultra nationalists protesting the

massing is somewhat different than scale. can you see the original massing of the property? i'm going to give a couple examples. these are not frank lloyd wright, but they're similar prairie style. the center one, these were considered small for the standards of the suburb that they were in so people wanted to add on to the center property. there was controversy about this, but arguably it followed some of the rules. what it did was added a similar block to that square prairie style structure on to the back, connect td by a glass piece to make a much larger house. the argument here is that it's added on to the back so again, from the front of the property you don't really see it, but some people were still upset with that conclusion that this was approved by a commission and through the secretary of interior standards because the idea was in massing, scale and rhythm that deferred to the original. back to this question of density, i mentioned this is probably the most dramatic example where they shave the back off the house. in this case they sweetened the deal by restoring

a mass murderer. like that. >> well, certainly someone who has a lot of rage, cold and calculated. from a what we have seen from previous profiles, these are individuals who blame society for being isolated, who have very poor social skills and see themselves as being superior, but cannot understand why they feel they are being rejected all the time. therefore, they are hellbent on revenge. at the same time, christi and victor, they do want to die. they want to commit suicide after they wipe out as many people as they can. >> jeff, i am wondering about the folks who saw this, the witnesses and victims here. they are waking up after just thinking they will go out for a nice stroll on a friday evening at 9:30. you are in the middle of graduation for the college and in the middle of finals for this college. what would you say to people who are trying to recognize to people as they wake up what happened last night? >> the only thing we can tell them, of course, this is yet another episode in this sort of

on saturday, i went inside to the choir mass. and our choir practice.nd we were distributed the beautiful tickets. it felt like willy wonka. and the golden ticket to get into the factory. >> they heard you were in town and said we have to get her into the choir. >> no, i sank in the vatican choir for almost eight years while i was studying in rome and getting my doctoral degree there. this links back to john paul ii. and all of them should be open to any student that wished to attend. previously, the universities in rome were established to educate the seminarian who would become priests and many of them why started by religious orders and they would be ordained to priesthood in rome by the holy father. john paul always changing things up. he requested in the 80s that lay people, men and women be allowed to attend the universities and i was one of the people who benefited from that. in the year. 2,002 i attended the pontification system and i was able to sing in the vatican choir and be very close to john paul ii and get to know him. he did have the cap

that is these mass shootings that have to do with emanual remote. i don't think there is any substantial evidence that those actually help. >> thank you very much. may be framing that is a question. we will put it this way. would a ban on military-style semiautomatic rifles that can be equipped with a large capacity magazines have a significant effect on crime? why don't we go down the line and each introduced -- answer that is a question. your thoughts. >> would not have a significant effect on crime. assault rifles don't figure importantly in violent street crime, street shootings, assaults. arguably could have more of an effect on mass shootings but as i said i'd think other measures would have more of an affect anna ban on assault rifles or extended magazines. >> i agree with craig that in terms of thinking about assault weapon ban or restrictions on magazine capacity in terms of broader approach to reduce violent crime and gun violence, you are probably not going to see that because again, they principally are relevant more in a mass shooting c

. >> a premeditated mass murder. that is what the sheriff bill brown in california calls a frightening incident last night where seven people have now died. seven others are at a hospital right now after a man, a suspect, who is also dead, according to sheriff's deputies, drove through town in isla vista near uc santa barbara, and just started shooting people. it was chaos, as we understand. people were screaming and this went on for ten minutes. >> we have someone on the phone who witnessed that chaos. daniel slovinsky. he is the editor of the campus news there. daniel, you were at a restaurant there. what did you hear? what did you see? >> i didn't see anything immediately. we all heard some shots somewhere between 9 or 15 shots. like most people. >> obviously, we just lost daniel there. guys, i know you will work to get him back on the phone. we have edwin perez, our justice correspondent. in front of the camera. good. we have reports from the sheriff's spokesperson there that the department of justice is getting

this is number 104 mass shootings and mass murders in the united states this year. most of these people probably have some significant challenge going on in their life before they did this and once again, we didn't identify them ooeither. >> 104. had not heard that number until you said it on our air. that is staggering. quickly, clint, we spent a fair amount of time talking about nancy lanza and adam lanza and folks wondered aloud if there was enough done, and here was a situation where the parents had the son in therapy at the age of 8. contacted the police on one or two occasions that where they did that, but if the guy is 22 years old, what more can the parents do? i mean, what is left to do? in a situation like this? >> and the answer may be that there is not a lot more that you can do. you can pay for the therapy and pay for the therapist, but you can't get him hospitalized against his will. he does not present himself in that way. and if he is straight himself from the family, if he e tells the parents what they want to hear, and oh, i'm doing okay and i have

it's basically a desecration of the mass.ou know, worshiping satan, but a mockery of the catholic mass. and i don't think -- imagine saying is we're going to burn a koran, see what that's like culturally. i don't think any other group would stand for it. i thought it was cultural. >> would you defend the burning of a koran as a cultural reenactment, is that what this amounted to? >> i think one of the worst thing that happens when we think about is false equivalencies. we see similarities in certain things and lump them all together. i think it's, to be honest, sloppy to put all of those things together. what i wanted to do was introduce distinctions that i hope people think a little bit more carefully about where they come down. each case is different. >> so this case, why this case? what did you think was the important principle here or what made you want to participate or thought that it should have been done on harvard campus? >> well, my interest, again, was trying to insert a little critical reflection into the whole th

shootings and mass killings. think anyone who does this is crazy. now, some people who are crazy, who commit mass violence, also have a political ideology. i think in this case, in particular, to think that misogyny, that the extreme hatred of women, as a group, is not a political ideology is not only wrong, right, but it excuses the larger dangers of misogyny in our culture. by the way, he was part of organized groups. he was participating in online hate groups about a misogynistic hate groups. >> there's the argument. groups, plural. i want to read a couple things. he wrote over 100 pages. a lot of it had to do with women. i'm going to read this one about the perfect guy. he said, i'm the perfect guy and yet you throw yourselves at these obnoxious men instead of me. he's talking about the women. but he's remembering to the men as obnoxious. i'm a supreme gentlemen and all of you men are living a better life than me. all of you sexually active men, i hate you. all you popular kids, you've never accented me and n

this is a world that has produced a number of mass killers. some people as old as me remember way back in 1989 when this war on women really began. a particular montreal man, who walked into an engineering class at a university in montreal. ordered all of the men out at gunpoint, and murdered 14 women, one after another, because they were studying engineering and threatening men. >> very quickly, mark, you said in 1989, was there a trigger that happened at that particular time that you think started this off? why 1989? >> i think that was a time when the feminist movement was very much kind of concurring the country in a sense. the feminist narrative was winning. and held back in all kinds of ways. so it was a part of a reaction that continues to this day, to the changing roles of women in families and men in our western societies. you know. >> and elizabeth, it is kind of jarring to talk about that kind of a movement, and we're talking about in nigeria and men kidnapping girls because of their advancing in society. one of the things you saw i

if you look at the mass shootings we have had in our country in recent years the common thread among them is not assault rifles so much as mental illness. it it wasn't diagnosed and treated and i think we have a dismal mental health system treatment system in the united states. we basic dismantled it because of the excesses and abuses of mental hospitals in the 60s. we didn't replace it with anything and that improving diagnosis and treatment of mental illness would do more to reduce mass shootings i think that any gun control measure would. >> the problem of mass shootings certainly is a very distinct one and i think indisputably is linked to mental health issues and does not lend itself to being addressed by a society wide issue about the sale of guns demonstrated in the most direct way in almost all of these mass shooters are able to obtain the weapons they use legally and so further enforcement of those laws wouldn't stop those issues. we have been talking for about 30 minutes now and i would bet that there are people in the audience who would like to ask questions so i would lik

if the threat of weapons of mass destruction was the driving force for u.s. action after 9/11, why iraq rather than north korea? at the time, north korea really was building a nuclear bomb and threatening to proliferate that technology. iraq wasn't. the case for war in iraq that was presented to the american people proved to be a smoke screen. there were no weapons of mass destruction. there was no reconstituted iraqi nuclear program. the case that was made publicly for that war turned out to be false. what was true? what was the reason for that war? we know that it wasn't the reasons that they told us. so, why did we really do it? newly obtained documents from both here and abroad, as well as interviews with many of the key players in the war planning process and in the invasion now provide an answer to that question, the question of why we did it. watch. ♪ >> i will swear to not only uphold the laws of that land -- >> summer or of 2000. >> but lift the spirit of this country when i put my hand on the bible. i will also swear to uphold the honor and the inte

premeditated mass murder. when you've got a guy in a car who, as we've heard from people, interestingly enough, engaging with people, actually talking to people before he shoots, it sounds like, what does that tell you about who this person is and what his mindset is? >> well, i would caution -- i would -- and i know the sheriff said to use caution -- to use the word madman to imply this person was debilitated by mental illness. i have had cases that i've worked in the past where the shooter has gone up to the victim, engaged in conversation, and then shot them in the head. so this is not foreign behavior. i've seen this before. this behavior, just from what we can see right now, this is behavior that this shooter was enjoying. and i know that sounds very odd to your listeners that someone could do this kind of thing and really enjoy it, but that's what it appears to be. we've seen that in other cases. the intention was to probably kill as many people as he could before the police interceded with him. some of

it sounds to me police are calling it a mass murder and mass casulties. and at this .7 dead doesn't necessarily sound like a mass. if you will. is it believed that there are other victims we don't know about? >> that could be clarified in the press conference. seven lives is part of seven too minute. and yet, it certainly is a lower death count and certainly enough to shatter the community very much to the core. and the way the police are coldly calculated and deeply disturbed and how he singled out females and targeting them and wanting to kill them. if you write 137 page manifesto, boy, are you intend on inflicting harm. and the vitriol and the acid that comes cross in the manifesto and the language and the writhing hate that continues to flow page after passage is overwhelming to read. you can't read it all in one go. and it takes your breath away x. you have to look away. let's talk about how it all went down. it sounds as if he got into the black bmw and drove in a positive area. people on the bikes and streets and there is loud music, and so it does

this mass is three hours long. as you mentioned thousands of people, not only jordanians, but people who came here from western countries as well as refugees, we met some iraqi refugees, christians who had left their country about three months ago who said that they could no longer live in their hometown. they were literally, they say, kicked out and told there is no place for christians in iraq. so this is what is overshadowing the visit of the pope to jordan. all the violence in jordan. the refugee who is have come here whether syrian or iraqis, and they believe this is a gesture of support and they appreciate and they called on the pope to help them bring security and stability to the region. not more--so no more christians would have to leave their homes. the number of christians has in the region diminished over the years, and jordan is no more than 3%. even though this is a stable country, it's the one who is are surrounding jordan that are really suffering, and they are facing sectarian challenges and confli

our original mass when we looked at the site came to 300 units if he we were building as big a project as possible. over the two-year process we held about 15 meetings and landscape design charrette as well and summarized some of the main concerns, and some of them including the building being no monolithic and too dense and more need for open space. this is a look at our first pace of revising it and reducing density and dropping the boiling down to 275 units. we continue to break do you mean the massing and stepping back at the upper-levels, as well as separatinging from you are neighbors in the residential enclave and stepping back even further to about up to 64' wide setback from our neighbors to the north. this is a view of the code minimum for our mid-block passage, 20' where we started and commanding up to 64' wide on tennessee street. and this is a section view of some of the challenges that we worked through with our neighbors to the north and again, an original massing and then ultimately stepping our boiling building back to create publicly accessible open space. project fac

police, the sheriff calling it a mass murder. six people killed, now we have the name of the alleged shooter. elliot rodger. 22 years old. that is according to an attorney for the rodger family near santa barbara, california. we don't know too much about rodger, but he has apparently recorded several youtube videos. here's a short portion of one of them. >> tomorrow is the day of retribution. the day in which i will have my revenge against humanity. >> chilling to watch. police still talking to witnesses and collecting evidence. people who saw what happened say that the shooter opened fire from behind the wheel of his car that he was driving. he shot people at several different locations. there was a fire fight with sheriff's deputies. the gunman dead as well. cnn's kyung lah in isla vista, california right now. and we now have the family, the family confirming that the young man's name is elliot rodger. what else are you learning about him? >> reporter: a lot of the people who either saw the black bmw or heard the gunshots, most

fbi data found that since 2006 there have been more than 200 mass killings in the u.s., a mass killing being defined by the fbi as having four or more victims. and of those homicides for which the fbi received weapons data in 2011, 68% involved the use of firearms. to be sure there are mass murders in other countries as well but not at the alarming frequency as here in the u.s. clint van zandt is a former fbi profiler and msnbc analyst. and brian levin is the director of the center for the study of hate and extremism at california state university. gentlemen, i don't want to lead the witnesses, they being you, so just start off with this. clint, i bow to your expertise and you, too, brian, your instinct about what we should learn from this particular horror. what's at work here? what led to it? is there any way to stop it? >> well, you know, i'm one of the first ones i'd like to see us deal with the gun issue in the united states, but as you know, his first three victims, his roommates he stabbed to death, he had three handguns that he was able to legally buy because there was nothing,

this is a diagram of the massing -- on the left, one of our emphasis, our goals in the design was to create a very articulated and diverse building facade. on that note, we were committed to really four things when we approached the building. we really wanted to build a block, not a project. we wanted to actually create a series of buildings, an experience of a series of buildings. we also wanted to give back to the neighborhood and that is why we have proposed this public art plaza. and this corner cafe. whenever possible we attempt to activate the street with everything from stoops to small plazas to a voluntary mid-block passageway. and then above all we wanted human-scale design. so moving on to the site plan. this is the site plan with the plaza. we are proposing a substantial redesign of the western side of indiana side consistent with better street standards that would actually result anyway widened sidewalk, planting, street trees and of course, as you move forwards 19th, the permanent closure of 19th, i want to emphasize in all of our schemes this remains fully public and wo

mass murders, it's over 95%.ing alone, they tend to be isolated individuals who don't have strong support systems in their lives. and that's part of the reason they go on rampage, is because they don't have support. plus they don't have other people around them who know them well enough to see what's going on in their lives. yes, there are warning signs. but they're just not easy to identify. >> but so often, it's men and not women in the majority of these shootings. and it's just, you know, it's horrific and -- james alan fox, paul callan -- were you going to say something quickly, paul? >> yes, with men doing these crimes, all violent crimes, it's mostly men. it's tests at the roen, violent games, and i think historically it's because men come out of a history of violence. it's very, very different than female upbringing and culture. so it doesn't surprise me men are the killers. >> let's not blame games here. >> 98% -- >> there's so much more to this conversation, guys, and i would love to carry on, but, you k
