The founder of Patriot Prayer wants to set the record straight about his group. He told our melissa caen that he is not about hate and doesnt like being tied to extremists. Melissa. Reporter now, we are here at crissy field where an event scheduled for next saturday is called Patriot Prayer. Some of their events have been attracting extremists. The mayor and chief of police are expressing concern but so far the rally is a go. We spoke with the founder of Patriot Prayer who says his organization is about free speech and not violence. You know, i have been spit on in San Francisco, like i have been yelled at, cussed after. Reporter joey gibson says he was moved to start Patriot Prayer after watching people get beaten as they left a trump rally in san jose last year. It was the fact that these people went to go see a man speak who is running for president of the United States of america. And they were so harassed, you know, yelled at, cussed at. They got so much hate just for listening to a man speak. Its unbelievable. That is what opened my eyes. Thats when i realized that its our culture, its our, um, the these people are being brainwashed to try to discourage free speech. Reporter he says the group doesnt have members, but he is expecting about 500 people at next saturdays rally. And thousands of protestors. We try to go into all the areas that are extremely intolerant of thoughts, of ideas. We try to go to places that are they have a population thats extremely hateful towards other people. Reporter gibson is ethnically japanese but says it doesnt matter. But in reality, you know, im an american. And i love god. I love freedom. You know, thats my identity. Its not its not my genetic makeup. Reporter he says Patriot Prayer is about love and respect and the speakers line up for the rally, its diverse. He doesnt like being lumped in with extremists. The thing is, unite the right is a horrible term because thats their justification for teaming up with extremists so you can go to war with the left. That whole ideology is messed up. Thats what im trying to break through. Im trying to bringing together moderates. Reporter its not a coincidence that this event is scheduled to be held at crissy field federal land controlled by the federal government, not San Francisco. And i asked gibson about this. And he said that when his group goes to cities, they like to find federal land because that allows them to sidestep some of the vagaries of local politics and politicians. Allen . Maybe not this time. Well see. Thank you. The day after the crissy field event, another group is planning a rally called no to marxism in america at Civic Center Park in berkeley. City leaders are urging counter protestors to stay away saying it prevents those on the fringe from garnering attention to their causes, which is their primary goal. It also allows police to focus resources on those who might do damage to others or to the city. A major break in a hayward murder that many neighbors say crossed the line. Officers just arrested three suspects in connection to the murder where a man was shot pushing his infant son in a stroller.

People were running around trying to figure out what was going on, trying to find people that may have been in the area. And the metro doesnt work or anything so people are kind of chaotically running around trying to figure out what to do. Three days of mourning will honor the victims of the attack. Well have a live report from barcelona in the next half hour. There is a goal to minimize human error in the airport. It stems from the close call with air canada last month. Jackie ward reports. Reporter people flying in and out of sfo should feel a little safer now. The faa is making changes that will hopefully eliminate human error. The faa says it will no longer issue visual approaches to air crews approaching sfo at night when an adjacent parallel runway is closed. When these conditions prevail, our controllers issue pilots instrument landing system approaches, or satellitebased approaches. These changes come in light of an air canada flight nearly hitting multiple planes waiting on the taxiway at sfo last month. To retired united pilot ross aimer, these faa adjustments are long overdue. It was basically a near disaster of monumental proportion at the same time considered a nonevent. Reporter because the faa classifies a near miss as a time when two aircraft almost hit each other in the air. So technically, this would not have raised any alarm until you folks, the reporters, got a hold of this story. Reporter this incident was what captain aimer calls a simple goaround and thats something pilots or control tower operators are not required to report to the faa or ntsb. Another change the faa is making, two controllers will now have to stay in the tower until the latenight arrival rush is over at sfo. There is only one the night of that close call. He was doing lots of things. And and and thats not although he was doing it okay. But thats not safe. Reporter captain aimer hopes that airports similar to sfo, ones that have runways close to each other, will adapt these changes, as well. At sfo, jackie ward, kpix 5.

I spent a couple of hours today trying to call around to the local stores here. Nobody has these. However, you do have some options. This sounds crazy, but one of the business alternatives to viewing the eclipse is with a colander. This beats the single pinhole camera you see people do with plates. All of these holes cast dozens of shadows on the ground. You can adjust the focus by moving the height of the colander back and forth. The pinholes will project an image on the sidewalk of the eclipsed neighborhood. You will be a hero and its a fashion accessory. Reporter get a small piece of cardboard and cut a hole in it about the size of a dime and find something with a small mirror, put the cardboard in front of the mirror and voila practice on saturday and sunday. Catching an image of the sun in that mirror, practice on saturday and sunday and reflect it on a wall. So on monday when we see the eclipse, if you are good at doing this and you do need to practice, you would become the hero of the entire street if you are showing this off. Here in the bay area, the eclipse will start at 9 01 a. M. On monday. The maximum eclipse will be at 10 15 a. M. Thats when threequarters of the sun will be covered.
