tavis: were you an orthodox robin hood? >> it's hard for me to look back to say i am any kind of positive character. i did things that were wrong, and i am somebody that may be wanted to, like all folks that have religious police, i am a sinner. i am someone that trek over where i was going. my own up to the things that i did that were wrong. it being somebody that wants to be religious doesn't make me perfect or any better than anyone else. maybe it makes me better than i would have been. >> of the charity, the philanthropy, wasn't trying to -- was it trying to compensate for the evil you were doing? what was driving the charity? >> i have been doing charity my whole life because i felt it was right, ever since i was a little boy. god gave me resources to do things. i did not think i was doing evil, and that as part of the problem. in my religion, it is better to know you're doing wrong and try to make it better than to not know you are doing wrong. if you wind up one degree off, you might crash somewhere. because i believ

one would be the robin hood tax. the other would be to change the way our tax structure is organized, how to get money out of politics, hold corporations responsible, support attorney general's fighting for for closure relief. there are six of 10. >> have you ever been wrong? [laughter] >> occupy wall street is a moral compass. they are articulating what they think it should be. the lead essay is a shift. i am wrong all the time. >> give me one example. [laughter] >> i said on national television the night -- election night of 2000 as florida was coming in that the election would be decided that night. people may remember that election was decided by the supreme court. it went on for two or three months. it ended up being decided by the governors, bush's brother, a supreme court judge chosen by his father. >>> george bush was asked if he had ever been wrong and said he could not think of a time. he is still saying that. [laughter] humble man. we are about out of time. do you have a short question? >> what is the circ

our own ideas first let's look back at lore remember in medieval europe there were people like robin hood who would steal from the rich and give to the poor take a look. at the beating of lady a woman if you refuse there's no need for such rich. and. still and gems off their fingers well now you have the rich stealing from the poor through massive debts they cannot be repaid debt that are beyond the means of the borrower to repay whether it's a mortgage holder or a country forced to cut vital public services in order to prioritize debt service payments so the poor are buried under of debt for the benefit of the rich creditors and the arguably bankrupt banks do we need the poor to default and order to end this perverse reverse robin hood situation let's bring in michael hudson and ask he's professor of economics at the university of missouri kansas city and author of super imperialism the origin and fundamentals of u.s. world dominance and dr hudson thank you for being on the show it's always a pleasure to talk to you. ok so let's get straight to there's lots of headlines coming out about

it happened last night in navato on robin hood drives. joe vasquez reports that the family had no idea why anyone would do this. >> i think there were 14 shots fired. >> he says that he has no idea why someone shot up his house .. >> no. it is a mystery at this point. >> the tie reflector was at work at the time. >> two bullets imbedded in the outside in three came through here. >> his wife and another young lady that was with them were home when the shots burst their way into the living room windows around 6:40 p.m. yesterday. fortunately no one was hurt. >> any one that stays with us is often sitting on a couch and homework. so she was very fortunate that she was not in the room at the time. >> cops quickly set up a perimeter around the house on robin hood drive but no suspects were caught. i say it is extremely rare to have any crimes in this upscale area. >> i have been in navato for 27 years and i can think back to only a handful of incidents where we had a gun fire, by residents. >> and either the police nor the doctors think that a

and so -- >> do you portray them in a robin hood kind of way?bing from the rich to give to the people that needed it? >> no, i wouldn't, i feel like somali piracy is a much more complicated issue than just robin hoods fighting back against the western powers. but really, more, you know, a product, guys who are a product of their environment and who have nothing and see an opportunity. and seize it. >> do you build up any characters among the pirates, so you feel like you know them and why they're doing what they're doing? >> i think the hope was to find a character and create a character who was, who was, who you could empathize with and empathize with their struggle. and show how difficult it would be to end up in that position. but not to in any way, you know, make him look like a good guy. >> a hero for doing the right thing. >> i understand it was just too dangerous to try to film it in somalia or in that area. where did you film it? >> we filmed it in mombasa, kenya, and while we were there, a ship was captured by somali pirates just ten, 1

>> he's robin hood. he's stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. >> it might be a little bit of a public service in my opinion. >> reporter: it's not the only spot where the vandal or robin hood depending on your point of view has apparently struck. here's another set of xs at south dakota avenue and taylor avenue northeast that have just appeared. this time on utility poles which in similar fashion hide a drivers' view of a speed enforcement camera that lurks behind. more power to the painter? >> i definitely appreciate the warning but you know i mean the district is just crazy with these speed cameras. >> reporter: police considered tagging trees, poles and speed cameras a clear case of vandalism and now quote looking into the incident. contrast this with the entirely legal strategy adopted by jeff tracy, a chef, who hired a sign spinner in january to warn motorists in the fox hole road corridor of a camera there. who is the mysterious man with the spray can or perhaps men or women with spray ca

employee who may have been channelling robin hood could be losing his job for giving away free tickets. he gave $300 worth of tickets to a struggling teenager. he says he was trying to help his boy get his commute to school down. a spokesperson confirmed they are looking into the issue but could not discuss specifics because it's a personal matter. >>> a legendary peninsula nightclub is up for sale on craigslist. the carlos club in san carlos is on sale for $350,000. the owner has given up after the city rejected his expansion plans. the city has targeted the club for years with exaggerated tales of drunken patrons. the council reversed the approval of that expansion. >> going on craigslist surprised me. but honestly, nothing fred does surprises me a whole lot. >> the staff says they saw the expansion as the only way to save the struggling business. duncan still has the option of resubmitting his plans to the city. >> creative. craigslist, why not? >>> the giants get the big-time victory last night, but not without a lot of effort. the pitching jewel that pushed this game to 11 innings

someone shot multitimes at their quiet home near auburn avenue and robin hood drive. the pair easily could have been killed. >> reporter: crime scene investigators ran a piece of string to the home. calculating the trajectory of the bullets more than ten shots were fired just before 7:00 last night. >> sharon blitz was home at the time but lickly in a back room out of the line of fire. she heard something pop. >> i thought it was a lightbulb that went off. and then there was just more and more shots and i really didn't know what was happening until i came in here. >> several bullets came through the front window and lodged in their crown molding. other rounds stuck in the siding. investigators worked to retrieve them. >> i mean, bizarre. these kind of things just don't happen in this neighborhood. >> for a period of time you have a sense of disbelief, like what was that all about. and, you know, you can't -- you can't process it. i mean you process it, but it doesn't make any sense. >> police say it's clear this house was targeted for some reason. she says she can't t

>> he's robin hood. he's stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. >> here's another set of xs at south dakota avenue and taylor avenue northeast that have just appeared. this time on utility poles which in similar fashion hide a drivers' view of a speed enforcement camera that lurks behind. d.c. police react to this today by saying they would prefer people slow down rather than vandalize government property. in northwest washington, scott broom, 9news now. >>> all right, we want to know what you think. join the conversation on our wusa9 facebook page. >> or you can write my mail bag at -- we'd love to chat with you about that there and speaking of the 9news now at 7:00, one more day. rg iii is to become a washington redskin and on the eve of draft what his parents say about robert griffin iii about to join the burgundy and gold. that's 9news now 7:00. >>> still to come in this half hour, you heard all the cliches, now about an hour and a half from what could be the end of the caps' season. kristen

if king john was a bad came came, robin hood stole from the rich to feed the polar. civil disobedience but he did not solve any problems but just stuck it to the man. he brought nothing forward. it is romantic but what problem do solve? nine. of remade to come up with a new way of governing. with the american revolution to solve the long-running entrenched problems of government. but gillian said a protest of bad legislation and governance to figure out what are the solutions? i hear from younger people, those who have affiliations with anonymous are hacker groups that this is a war against massive abuse of power. that language scares me. i started my academic career with similar language. >> steering away from copyright but to talk about copyright to add it -- genetically less people in america make more off of copyright? i don't know.
