Yourself roaming around . Reporter heres the strange thing. I was in the city of danville for much of the day and the station was texting me often as these earthquakes was happening. I didnt actually feel them. Now most of them are modest in size. Somehow i was really trying to experience one and they just slipped past both me and my photographer today. I can tell you on this end i heard the conversation and they were saying he must have felt that one, he must have felt that one, but nothing . Reporter no, i didnt. I dont know what it is. I was sitting in my truck. Maybe youre just moving around at the wrong moment. I was also flying the drone. Maybe there was a little tunnel vision for part of that, but i was really trying and i didnt feel any of them. I think you hit the nail on the head. Thanks, appreciate it. Crews are still at the scene of a fire that ripped through a Historic Building in east oakland a few hours ago. The flames were raging nearly an hour starting around 2 00 this afternoon. The building is a Spanish Colonial that sits along miller avenue just off international boulevard. Its on the National Registry of historic places. According to the chronicle, this building was a library back in the 70s but closed down in the 90s. This is whats left. The roof is gone. It basically stripped down to the frame. Residents of a nearby apartment were evacuated as a precaution, still no word on the cause. Another fire did heavy damage to an old victorian in San Franciscos castro district. The twounit residential building on sanchez street had been identified by police in the past as a drug den and its owner sued by the city. Kpix5s Susie Steimle talked to the man whose property the neighbors call a nuisance. Susie . Reporter allen, joel elliott, the homeowner here, tells me he was just trying to do the right thing and he often invited the homeless in to stay here, but police often found illicit drugs on the property and neighbors called this an accident waiting to happen. Black smoke enveloped this threestory victorian in the castro cutting access to the street forcing neighbors to the curb and gutting everything inside. This was really hard nosed, just down and dirty good firefighting, oldfashioned firefighting. But it sure took a long time and i sat and watched my house go up in flames. Reporter joel elliott is at odds with the city once again. Arson investigators were at 519 sanchez all day long trying to determine if in fire was set intentionally. Are you suspicious this is arson . Yes, i am. This house has a history of troubles. Reporter joel elliott was in the middle of being forced out of his home. The city accused him of running a drug den here and won a judgment for 1. 7 million in 2016. Police raided this home multiple times finding methamphetamines and other illicit drugs. The City Attorney calls it a lawless neighborhood nuisance. I say that that is a very deep misunderstanding, that i helped people who were homeless. I helped people who had drug addictions and so on. Reporter unable to take the 1. 7 million joel filed for bankruptcy. The Bankruptcy Court was forcing him to leave but allowing him to go back in to collect his belongings, something hell no longer be able to do. Its devastating. I lived in that house for 22 years and all my things are in there. Reporter firefighters say the flames spread fast and furious. They say its lucky this didnt happen overnight. Had this fire occurred at 3 a. M. , it would have been a completely different story. Reporter the city is still owed that 1. 7 million. The plan was to have the Bankruptcy Court sell this house and give that money to the city. Its unclear right now how the fire will impact that process. Live in San Francisco, Susie Steimle, kpix5.

President trump is doubling down on his idea to give some teachers guns. At the conservative Political Action conference he spoke about arming in his words well trained gun adept teachers and coaches. So this crazy man who walked onto campus woul s it thats goo cnn went on and they said donald trump wants all teachers. Okay. Fake news, folks, fake news. Fake news. [ applause ] i dont want a person thats never handled a gun that wouldnt know what a gun looks like to be armed, but out of your teaching population, out of your teaching population you have 10 , 20 of very gun adept people, military people, Law Enforcement people. They teach. So this crazy man who walked in wouldnt even know who it is that has it. Thats good. Thats not bad. Thats good. And a teacher would have shot the hell out of him before he knew what happened. [ cheering and applause ] gun policy also came up later at this meeting with australias prime minister.

In my 19 years here i have again involved in several incidents where guns have been involved on campus and ive never once thought oh, i wish i had a gun to, you know, try to shoot back. Reporter educators here believe the president is trying to distract from the debate over gun control. Terrible idea. I think really its a ridiculous idea. This is a deflection on everything. There is not going to be a ban on assault weapons. Reporter oakland is the only bay area School District with its own police force. Its an insane idea to arm the teachers. Its not as. As you think as simple as you think that you can shoot somebody with a handgun dealing with a rifle like that. Teachers do not sign up to be militiamen. Reporter the union that represents 2,600 oakland teachers says more books, not guns. Society either wants to blame teachers or make them heroes. Were neither. Were teachers and arm us with the tools to do our job and maybe we would have a Better Society that didnt have all these problems.

Its so important and also listening to her talk about her own personal experience with me too and the times up movement. I still think its really scary for women to admit that so many of us have been in that position. So to hear her say it shamelessly and powerfully was really something that resonated with me.
