the sheriff al cannon detention center serves as charleston's county jail. most of the 1,300 men and women incarcerated here are only charged with crimes and are awaiting trial and resolution of their cases. that includes david ratliff jr. he's currently in the jail's disciplinary segregation wing for his role in a melee the night before. >> i had a little altercation -- actually a big altercation with a few amigos yesterday. apparently i used to date one of his girlfriends. it's a small world. this is charleston. you know, everybody knows everybody around here. i didn't start it. i finished it. you got to. you got to fight if you're in here and someone calls you out, you know. come on. >> staff reviews surveillance footage which shows ratliff did not throw the first punch. >> this is ratliff hanging around the pillar a couple of times. officer breaks it up. >> seconds later, another fight breaks out. a different camera angle shows ratliff joining the fight, which quickly escalates. >> this is where all six get involved. >> the punishment will be the same fo

washington navy yard, garland texas, fort hood, charleston, boston, san bernardino, orlando, park land, do you know what all of these mass tragedy incidents involved? fbi dropped the ball. they dropped the ball. now i'm allergic to universal statements like i'm allergic to people that think green day is punk. but let me just be clear. in charleston, this murderer passed a background check, even though he was prohibited possess or, comey said it was a paperwork error. sutherland springs, this murderer mowed down a church, because why? the air force did not report his conviction. the fact he was mentally unstable to the system, which by the way, the organization that i represent 5 million plus members, average, everyday americans, moms and dads, they do the school run, they go to the grocery store, they're students, they're hunters, they're people like me that simply don't want to be assaulted in the parking lot, if i go to the grocery store to get a gallon of milk at night, there are people like us. and we will not be gas lighted into thinking we're responsible for a tragedy that we had

charleston highway and pine ridge drive. that's the road that is closed. ironically, our state and emergency operations center is on the other end of this road. but that part is what's closed. on the other side of highway 321 south is an amazon fulfillment center, grace baptist church, and those places are where we are seeing more of the walking wounded. they brought in buses from our county, from richmond county, for the more seriously injured, they are taking them to a number of regional hospitals and then brought buses from the recreation commission here to pick up people that weren't injured and moved them to the middle school and luggage at some point. so it is winding down now. the road is still closed, but that's where we are right now. >> and paul, you mentioned that you were there within 15 minutes when you had heard this go over the radio and the walking wounded were already there, how long did it take response teams to get there with the buses to get the injured out? >> the buses took a little longer, but we got a lot of ambulances on the scene

s ladies in red down at the red carpet maya schrader and charlotte charleston pell are standing by with all the latest ok guys let's start with the top prize who won the golden bear. hi abbey we dressed as the red carpet. because i. think the goal is that while drum roll thanks remaining a film called touch and touch mean touch we know it is a very unusual film i would have. by the females or actor. congeal in scuse me who is a first time director is was her first ever feature film and she won the golden bear for it she was also one of the only four women in the competition section of the ballet now they know this film so well the jury present had something interesting to say about their decision on the yeah he did he said the jury themselves are pretty split on whether to to award this film that the golden bat he said there that he wanted a film that shows are not what film can do but it's what it can do in the future and when you look at this the when it's that sort of make sense of the comment because it's very experimental it's very unusual sort of mix facts and fiction you never re

my friend was killed in a church here in charleston, south carolina, so that will not happen again. reasonable people want to ban bump stocks. reasonable things that people want to do instead of the traditional pivot to talk about walter moore and chicago. the red meat talking points. >> katie: you talk about it being unreasonable. is it unreasonable to think that places like chicago and baltimore that have all the gun-control legislation you could possibly ask for would not be the examples that we should follow considering their murder rates? >> sure. here's what i will tell you, i'm not seeing gun control is the all out final answer, but i think it will be part of the solution to the problem in this country to prevent another charleston, to prevent another new town, to prevent another parkland, florida. >> katie: something that hasn't worked, but jason, last word to you. >> i would get rid of bump stocks as well. there was a lot of education that needs to go on. i own guns. i have a constitutional right to own guns. >> me too. >> if there are people who are mentally unfit -- they

in charleston the background check could have prevented that perp from getting a weapon. the domestic violence incident that have been report could have prevent perhaps that situation from occurring. we all say if you see something, say something. and parkland community, we saw people reporting, there were 20 calls to the sheriff's department, they responded. the fbi received legitimate, credible tip and it was not followed up upon. what we have seen in three major atrocities is that the system that was in place simply was not followed. my focus is not on having or not having a gun debate. we're going to have that, the students are very clear, march is coming we're going to have that debate i look forward to participating in that conversation. the reality of it is that three incidents could have been avoided, prevented if the system itself had worked. i would not have gone to the -- good friend if the system had worked. so we need to fix that and unlike my good friend who i do appreciate, senator coons, i believe that we will get something done this year. >> cordes: why h

cnn's polo sandoval joining us from charleston, west virginia. polo, this is a massive statewide strike. bring us up to speed on it. >> reporter: fred, this has been mounting pressure that teachers have been trying to put on state legislators and governor jim justice as well. so far the main argument here is that the state's teachers want better pay, they want better benefits and also they've been protesting against what they believe is harmful legislation here. so far the governor has responded, recognizing in a statement that, yes, teachers are underpaid, particularly here in west virginia that ranks 48 out of 50 when it comes to the salary of teachers. and so far his response has been a pay increase that he signed last wednesday, which was about 4% over the next three years. but you hear from the the teachers in their united call, and they say that is simply just not enough. some teachers we've heard from have had to take up a second job just to try to make ends meet here. that is simply a concern here. they've been out of class already for th

in charleston, we he had several gun laws that were broken. every school i know of in the country exists or resides within a gun-free zone. the reality of it is that the mental instability of the culprit should be the primary target that we look at. because it is the most pervasive fact in the pattern that we're looking at. >> neil: you talked a lot in the past, this type of activity is more frequent in areas that are either poor or under-served. you've been pushing investments in poorer communities than the rest. the intent wasn't to just to cut off violence but to improve the communities, period. could you explain that? >> certainly. i consider part of my responsibility of being a per ar perveyor of hope. it's not simply mass shooting. in this nation, 18,000 of the gun related violence incidents are suicides. 12,000 gun related violence incidents are typically handguns. if you see the things they have in common, mental health is an issue, poor education, poverty, all these core components can be placed together and we have a better picture o

and in new orleans, black lives matter activist and charleston, south carolina community organizer muhiyidin d'baha died tuesday after he was struck in the thigh by a bullet as he rode his bicycle. police have not named any motive or suspects in the killing. d'baha made national headlines last year after he appeared in a viral video that shows him leaping over a police line in an attempt to grab a confederate flag from a white supremacist at a rally in charleston. in 2015, democracy now! spoke with muhiyidin d'baha outside the emanuel ame church, amid the funerals of nine african-american worshipers who were gunned down by white supremacist dylann roof. i asked him about the campaign to dismantle confederate monuments and to bring down the confederate battle flag from the south carolina state capitol grounds. >> it is re-examining our history and the white supremacist structures in our history, and naming them and calllling them what they a are sosomeone we talk ababout the f, we don't get to agitation ababot rates, but states rights. this country is founded on economic capital developed fro

you know, in south carolina after the charleston shooting, the political leadership on both sides seized the issue of the confederate flag. it wasn't gun control, but there had been this debate over the kroe confederate flag. and finally after the wretchedness of that shooting, they seized the moment. if they want to do something, they need to do it now. otherwise in washington, they delay even a couple of months, the nra will slow roll this. and they'll do it with the -- >> i want to point out after sandy hook, when barack obama was president, the u.s. senate was controlled by democrats. the second amendment discussion is very difficult and there are many who want to go to a full-fledged, let's ban guns -- >> nobody's talking about that, jack. nobody's talking about that. people are talking about common sense reforms. nobody is talking about banning guns. jack, sorry. your slippery slope argument is not going to work today. >> the vie word on the left is always common sense gun control. and it usually means restriction of the second amendment. what i am saying to you, if you want to put

sharon, andame is peopleer and eight other were killed in the charleston church shooting. make schools safer is for our legislators to look at thomas that we have already, ban away the loopholes, automatic weapons, and put the responsibility to teachers to arm themselves while they are supposed to be teaching. nine people would not have been killed in a church if our laws were stricter. i am hoping that because of what happened in parkland, our legislators will look at the laws and think about people and not about themselves. >> let's hear from gerard in eastpointe, michigan. >> i would like to see the military come and be in our schools and in every door to her should be our military guard their. >> you're talking about national guard or something like that? >> yes, at every door there should be some kind of national guard or military personnel. thanks gerard, let's hear from our under 18 , this is from florida. how you make schools safer? >> my thought is that you will take a u.s. military veteran, clear them from -- run them through a background check and not diagnosed
