Like right there, theres a buggy going by with a baby in it. Well, children, its known for a fact, children are not harmed by the sight of a human body. The real harm comes from bringing up children to be ashamed of the human body or feel disgust at it. Reporter a fully clothed supervisor scott weiner says freedom has limits and people should cover their privates. Taking your pants off at castro market and displaying your genitals to everyone thats not free expression. Reporter its fair to say there are people with strong feelings on both sides of the issue.

From jaywalking to drinking in public, the real reason a bay area city is cracking down on minor crimes. Crews say they can smell the finish line, the last major milestone for the new bay bridge. ,,,,,,,, eastbound 80 in hercules, following a fatal crash. Two cars collided near the willw avenue offramp just after to trafficks is moving on eastbound 80 in hercules following a fatal crash. Two cars crashed at 2 00 this afternoon at the willow off ramp.

The pastor of a Catholic Church in san jose has resigned. Now this comes after he stood up for a registered sex offender who volunteered tow school. Mark gurries produced a letter from the San Jose Diocese saying that he was allowed to be there. The priest defended him at the event. But the letter was not written nor was it signed by proper church officials. The manwho shot two people in cold blood at the Richmond Bridge toll plaza laughed as he was sentenced to death but Nathan Burris didnt stop there. Cbs 5 reporter Ann Notarangelo on his cruel final words to the victims families. Ann. Reporter dana, Nathan Burris basically turned this murder trial into a oneman show and just about everything he said offended the people in the courtroom most especially the jurors and the victims families. I can never forgive him. I hate him. And im glad they gave him the Death Penalty. Reporter moments after jurors decided he should die for murder, joy outside the courtroom. Were so happy. Reporter this from people who didnt always support the Death Penalty. Were you against the Death Penalty before this . I was. But now anybody that takes a life like that, they need to die. Reporter but to understand their change of heart, you have to understand their journey. Three years ago, Nathan Burris murdered his exgirlfriend, deborah ross and her friend ersie everette at the Richmond San Rafael bridge toll plaza. He has been acting as his own attorney and frequently mocked the victims families in court. Today was no exception. Burris became agitated and turned to everettes family and yelled i blew your brothers brains out, theres nothing you can do about it. Ha ha. We just belong that out. We hear words. Im not giving him that satisfaction. We had enough satisfaction by laughing at him. That bothered him more because he cant stand to be laughed at. Hes a real small person. Reporter thats what jurors decided, as well. We were weighing the lives of two priceless people deborah ross and ersie everette versus the life of a guy who had proven to us through his testimony and actions in the courtroom to be worthless. Reporter the Prosecutor Says he has never seen someone so hateful. Someday, at some point the smile will be wiped off that mans face and he is going to know why he is heading down that hallway to that little green room. Reporter whether or not the Death Penalty is ever carried out is another question. But the one appeal burris ironically gave up is to claim he had a fool for an attorney. The focus is on the killers day in court and his rantings. Today the focus switched to remembering his victims. The families only want to see burris one more time. Hopefully that day comes and ill be able to see him put to death. Reporter burris will be back in Court Next Month for the judges formal sentence. All right, Ann Notarangelo, thank you.

Live at the white house, Danielle Nottingham, dana, back to you. Thank you. Well, the fbi is releasing some new information about a plot by four men in Southern California to join al qaeda and kill americans. Agents raided their homes last week before they could fly to afghanistan to join with the terrorist group. The alleged ringleader was honorably discharged from the us air force 11 years ago. They saw this as jihad as their way to push out the aggressors. I personally dont think that these young men could have gone to afghanistan and found c4 very sophisticated form of explosive and gone and in their words killed a number of american soldiers, blown up a big army base in afghanistan. There will be a preliminary hearing for some of those suspects in two weeks. The elections earlier this month gave state democrats control over both the state assembly and senate. Its a political advantage not seen since world war ii. Now californias Republican Leadership could be stuck on the sidelines. Cbs 5 political reporter grace lee explains. Reporter dana, the last supermajority was held by the republicans and that was back in 1933. But clearly, times have changed and our political experts are saying their low numbers make them inconsequential. The Senate President pointed out that each republican senator still represents about a million californians so putting pr aside, though, the reality is this supermajority is really a gift for the Senate President. Power remains when its used wisely. And we dont want to overplay our hand. But on the other hand, we dont want to miss the opportunity. Reporter the Senate President admits the supermajority is also a rare chance for California Democrats to be more efficient and effective. Political expert ethan rarick says technically the supermajority gives them political clout. You need twothirds to do certain special things. Under California Law you need a twothirds majority to raise taxes 2 3 majority to refer things to the ballot you need a twothirds majority to override a governors veto. Reporter one issue that could benefit gay marriage. If the Supreme Court doesnt take up the case the legislature could use its two thirds vote to put the issue back in front of voters as a ballot initiative. But it would take twothirds just to put it on the ballot. I could imagine democrats thinking about that because on that issue i think democrats think that they are riding a wave. Reporter remember all the 11 propositions that you just voted on . The entire process could be changed with a soup majority. The Senate President believed it needs to be reformed. I think, for example, there is nothing wrong with people with wealth getting involved in the political process, but before you qualify an initiative, you ought to have a responsibility to get, say, 1,000 contributions of 100 or more in order to even qualify in the first place. Reporter the question now will the California Democrats go too far to the political left or spend with abandon . Rarick says with the governor like jerry brown who is proudly a spendthrift and left a 7 billion surplus when he last left sacramento overspending is not likely. The governor has never been a taxandspend liberal so i think he will hold that in check too. Reporter and really this is a benefit for democrats overall because their numbers are Strong Enough to benefit all of their bills even the ones that just need a simple majority to pass and they are going to hold on to that supermajority for about two years. Grace lee, thank you. The Unemployment Rate is falling in california. And 36 other states, as well. According to the labor department, californias jobless rate dropped a tenth of a percent to 10. 1 .

[ siren ] reporter the International Association of firefighters says if youre one of the 95 with an ionization alarm you may want to change that too. The ionization alarm should be banned taken off the market immediately. It gives an individual false sense of security thinking they are being protected when theyre not. Reporter retired albany fire chief mark mcginn says there are two types of alarm, the photo electric identified by this p responds quickly to the deadliest smoldering fires and is more likely to save lives. The ionization common in most homes because its cheap responds to hot flaming fires and in many cases thats too late. Mcginn explains the ionization are prone to false alarmed and as a result 85 are disabled and even those that work may not work until its too late. On top of this lid i have put a brandnew ionization smoke alarm. Reporter this home inspector set up a 50gallon fish tank to simulate a smoldering fire those most often fatal with a Carbon Monoxide detector putting both alarms to the test. First the photo electric. We start the clock as soon as we register Carbon Monoxide from the smoke. At about a minute later. We are about 74 parts per million on Carbon Monoxide a minute after. Reporter long before we hit dangerous levels, the photo electric alarm sounds. But the same test with the ionization alarm returns very different results. Just triggered at 15 minutes and 44 seconds.

If it doesnt when you change your clock, change your batteries also change your smoke alarms to photo electric only.
