A head light and a bio hazard bag full of bloody gloves they did take special care of the guardrail end piece i couldnt find it yesterday i did find a main beam, pulled the bumper out and verified it was blackmans through id number. After phone calls caltrans took me behind black tarps to show me the end terminal at e. P. Plus. That head is responsible for the death of that boy. There is no question. Here is the way its supposed to work the force of the car pushes the end terminal down and it flattens w into a smooth ribbon of steel. That slows the car. In this case, you can see the guardrail bulging out of the channel. How it folded right at the end terminal. They lock up. And it buckled over and buckled up and ripped off. The rail flipped onto the highway. The seabring continued past. After repeated insy lawsuits, 39 states banned the ep plus. Its frustrating to people like the family of blackman. I found stacks of new et plus heads in the caltrans yard, discovering caltrans installed another in that location. Its unconscionable people are just ignoring these facts. And i will not stop if they, i will not silence. People are dieing. If something isnt done, theyll continue dieing. I reached out to his mother and a close at this time it would be premature to speculate. Send me a tip on this or another investigation on abc7 news. Com or call me. So dan, caltrans replaced that cap with the same kind of cap . The same cap is being blamed for injuries and deaths they will not take action to ban this thing. That same site.

But because of the campaign that went on here, sam locadro wants the healing to begin.

Weve got a Diverse Community with diverse issues. My job is to work with everyone. That includes folks who posted. And he reached tout to leaders of the Police Officers association.

Shes done very well in the rank Choice Voting system. And i think its a definite statement that oakland is looking in a new direction. She now leads to move over the city. I believe that libby is very honest. I feel that African Americans are coming to her about something of value, something that works. It would make a difference.

As chris nguyen reports, a vaccine is being developed right here in the bay area. On the peninsula, researchers are hard at work. Their focus to create a vaccine tablet. We have no reason to believe the tablet would be inferior to ingestibles. It is no stranger to the cause the company shelved its Ebola Vaccine Program because of limited funds but brought it back. Weve rushed to the opportunity to make our own Resources Available and move this in order we dont have government funding at this moment the tablet can be stored at Room Temperature for a year, a big advantage over vaccine thats need to be kept cool.

Well, politics words of warning between Republican Leaders and president obama over the issue of immigration. With the g. O. P. Now at full control of congress after last nights elections, both Republican Leaders and the president made vows today to cooperate. But they bj became less consill tori when it came to immigration. If we want to get a bill done, im eager to see what te have to offer. But what im not going to do is just wait. Newly reelected juror Mish Mcconnell says if the president takes action on immigration it would be a big mistake, saying its an issue many want to address. Its like waving a red flag in front of a bull saying if you dont do what i want, im going to do it on my own. And the has is threatening to do it again. Some say executive action could be grounds for impeachment. You have seen the shows about investors buying homes, rehabilitating them, then selling them for a profit. Its called flipping. Its back in foeing again. Michael finney has been following this project. Yes. This is not for the weak of heart. Its a major commitment. Its a risk and you can make money. Critics say the impact is too high a price to alex showeder loved the show flip this house, crediting the program to inspire him to become a full time flipper. He says he flips four homes per year. Its modest. If one builds a business, one can expect to do 5, 6, or 10, or 1 per month. The two split risk and profit. The pair purchased this foreclosed three bedroom one bath home in berkeley. An Investment Group bought the property in a foreclose closure sale for 461,000 then sold it to kens Management Group for 535,000. Ken and alex will rehabilitate the home, add a second bathroom, then, resell it. With a project like this, youre looking at a good four weeks. Ken calls this a typical rehab for a distressed property. There are engineering, foundation, electrical, and plumbing issues that need to be fixed we saw a wall ripped out. Difficult, distressed real estate. People taking out frustrations, perhaps, if all goes well they can suspect a hand some profit. And San Francisco is average flip gave a profit of 100,000 in the First Quarter of 2014. But that down from a year ago. When the average rate of return was 37 when more homes were being foreclosed. Gindaman isnt concerned if youre clearing 20 , that is comfortable. This is the other face of flipping. The same time they were purchasing their home in berkeley. An investor bought gumms Apartment Building with plans to evict her and other tenants, then convert to condominiums. Gumm and her husband fought to stay in the home. They lost. Gumm spoke to us through an interpreter. There are people like me being evicted, forcibly out of their homes that are having a hard time finding a place to live again. In cities like oakland and San Francisco, the impact is attracting major concern. In San Francisco, speculators targeted rent controlled buildings its devastating in San Francisco. When speculators buy rent controlled homes, evict everybody, then flip the units. Th
