The owner of the Baltimore Ravens issued a sturn blunt offense of his teams handling of the incident. He says its pretty humbling when your integrity is questioning. It follows a sport by espn that said his team intentionally misled and tried to cover up what happened in Atlantic City in that ka e see know elevator on february 15th. Yesterday the Team Released a sevenpage letter breaking down the accusations. After that documents release, he spoke directly to reporters while placing the blame squarely on ray rices camp. The majority of the sources are people that work for ray. Almost everything in there is anonymous, but its clear from the subject matter that its rays attorney, its rays agent and its rays friends. And they are building a case for reinstatement. The best way to build a case with reinstatement is to make everybody else look like they are lying. I am thoroughly aware of what the league expects the team to do in instances like this and the people in my organization did their jobs. Their jobs as they are defined and expected to be met by the league. So nobody is losing a job here. I cant lead, we cant lead an investigation and be stepping on the prosecutors shoes and the nfl. We cant do it. So among the unanswered questions, why couldnt the nfl get access to the videotape from inside the elevator . Espn reports that the tape was readily available telling mike and mike, quote, there were player players in las vegas a week or two after the incident. One player said you want to see the videotape of what happened . Yet the ravens claim they couldnt see it. And the people in the nfl said they never saw it. New detail this is morning about the man arrested for jumping the white house fence with a knife and entering an unlocked door. Omar gonzales is being held without bail. Prosecutors say hes a danger to the president. Hes facing charges of unlawfully entering a restricted building with a deadly or dangerous weapon. Officials say he had 800 rounds of ammunition in a a nearby vehicle when he jumped the fence friday night. In addition, gonzales allegedly had two hatchets and a machete and were also learning this is not his first runin with the law. He was arrested in july for reck bless driving in virginia. He had 11 guns in his car and a map with a circle around the white house. He was stopped last month for walking by the south fence of the white house. Now gonzales had had a hatchet in his waistband, but police eventually let him go. The veterans exwife is now speaking out about the struggle ls hes faced after returning from iraq. I didnt understand, looking back now im thinking i wish there was something i could have done to help him. Because hes not a bad guy i think. I want him to get treatment. He doesnt need to be punished. He didnt go to the white house to hurt obama. Hes a standup guy. He would never hurt anybody or anything of the sort. Hes losing his mind. Hes suffering from posttraumatic stress. Its hard to see a man go down the drain. He sacrificed his mind, his family, everything for this country and i dont think this country pays enough attention to our soldiers.
